BACKGROUND:
On September 25, 2015, 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 2.9% increase in the 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, 2019, and the necessary funding to cover the expenses was included as part of the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 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.
