That the Board take the following action concerning the fifth amendment to the Agreement for Inmate Food Service (PD 13-14.065), between Escambia County and Aramark Correctional Services, LLC, which provides the food service for the Escambia County Jail and the Escambia County Work Release Facility:

A. Approve the Amendment to Agreement for Inmate Food Service (PD 13-14.065), which increases the price per meal by $0.021, effective October 1, 2018, and will bring the total price per meal from $0.8414 to $0.8624; and

[Funding is available to cover this increased cost in the General Fund (001), Detention Cost Center 290401, Object Code 53401; and the Misdemeanor Probation Fund (114), Residential Probation Cost Center 290305, Object Code 53401]

BACKGROUND:

On September 25, 2014, after a competitive bidding process facilitated by the Escambia County Office of Purchasing, Escambia County entered into Agreement PD 13-14.065 with Aramark Correctional Services, LLC, to provide food service to the Escambia County Jail and the Escambia County Work Release Facility. Section 5 of the original agreement noted the fact that the prices as bid expired on September 30, 2015 and thereafter, for each 12-month period, the contractor can submit a written request for a price adjustment. The request received from Aramark was accompanied by written justification outlining that there has been a 2.55% increase in Food Away From Home category of the CPI as identified by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the year following the last requested adjustment.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

The requested increase will be effective October 1, 2018, and the necessary funding to cover the expense was included as part of the FY 2018-2019 budget request for the following:

A) General Fund 001; Jail Detention Cost Center 290401; Object Code 53401 and
B) Misdemeanor Probation Fund 114; Residential Probation Cost Center 290305; Object Code 53401
