FINAL REPORT ON JAIL FOOD SERVICE FY 1990 The Cabarrus County Jail Food Service has been in o~era- tion since September 12, 1989. During the time between September 12, 1989 and June 30, 1990 the Food Service has o~erated 7 days a week including during Hurricane Hugo. During the 42 weeks of operation the Food Service has served the following numbers of meals: Breakfast 22,254 Lunch 22,530 Dinner 22,035 The total dollars spent on food cost during the 42 weeks is $56,242.22 and the labor cost for the operation of the Food Service has been $69,237.00. The total cost of labor and food for the 42 weeks is $125,478.22. The cost of providing the meals if the County had t~ken the bid offered by the only food contract bidder last year would have been aa follows: Breakfast 22,254 X ,1.29 = $28,707.66 Lunch 22,530 X S2.50 = $56,325.00 Dinner 22,03S X $2.50 = $55~087.50 Total Contract food cost for period = $140,120.16 A savings to Cabarrue County has resulted from the utili- zation of the Food Service instead of the Contract food service. This amount of savings is as follows: Coat of the contract food service $140,120.16 Coat of the same number of meals prepared using Jail Food Service $125,47g.22 Total Savings to County $ 14,640.94 This represents a saving to Cabarrus County of $14,640.94 for the 42 week period that the food service has been in operation. The average da~ly food cost to feed an inmate three meals at this time is approximately $2.53. As the number of inmates housed increases the labor cost to prepare the meals will re~ain fairly COnStant and greater savings to the county will result.
