That the Board approve Amendment to Agreement for Inmate Food Service PD 13-14.065 between Escambia County, Florida, and Aramark Correctional Services, LLC, which provides the food service for the Escambia County Jail and the Escambia County Work Release Facility. The Amendment increases the price per meal by $0.0232 and will bring the total price per meal from $0.779 to $0.8022 for both the Escambia County Jail and the Escambia County Work Release Facility.

BACKGROUND:

On September 25, 2014, after a competitive bidding process facilitated by the Escambia County Office of Purchasing, Escambia County entered into Agreement PD13-14.065 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 2.98% increase in Food Away From Home category of the CPI as identified by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the year following the price indicated in the initial agreement.
