REPORT ON JAIL FOOD SERVICE FISCAL YEAR 1991 The Cabarrus County Jail Food Service operated the entire fiscal year. It operated seven (7) days each week during the year. During the 52 weeks of operation the Food Service has served the following numbers of meals: Breakfast 37,619 Lunch 37,880 Dinner 37,245 The total dollars spent on food during the 52 weeks is $73,693.40 and the total labor cost for the operation of the Food Service has been $107,735.58. The labor cost includes salary, benefits, etc. The total cost for food and labor for the 52 weeks is $181,428.98 We do not have a current private contractor bid price to use for comparison purposes. The last bid we took on the food for the Jail was in late June of 1989 prior to the opening of the Jail Food Service. This bid was for a total of $6.29 for the three meals delivered to the jail. The breakdown was $1.29 for breakfast, $2.50 for lunch, and $2.50 for dinner. I doubt very seriously if we could get a bid as low as this today if we had to bid the food contract out and if we did I would be very concerned about the quality of the food items they would be providing. If we use the FYg0 food bid prices and multiply it times the numbers of m=als we are currently serving we can make ~ome valid comparisons between what the food service is accomplishing daily population in the jail would and what the increase in do to contract costs verses jail food service costs. Breakfast 37,619 X $1.29 = $48,528.51 Lunch 37,880 X $2.50 = $94,700.00 Dinner 37,245 X $2.50 = $93,112.50 Total Food Service Cost 181,428.98 County $ 54,912.03 Savings to Cabarrus During F¥9! the Cabarrus County Jail Food Service fed an average of 102.96 inmates three meals per day at an average cost of $1.96 for food supplies.
