On May 8, 2006 bids were received for ice cream for the 2006-07 school year. The bid included an option for extension of the bid for four additional years. Attached is the bid tabulation of the three bids received. Blue Bell Creameries, Charlotte, NC, submitted the lowest responsible, responsive bid of $37,711.
The original bid was not approved by the Board of Education due to the bid amount of $37,711 being under the threshold required for Board approval according to Board policy DC – Budgeting and Fiscal Management, which requires Board approval for bids over $150,000. The bid was also extended by the administration for the 2007-08 school year.
During the 2007-08 school year, sales increased tremendously due to the addition of new products and the placement of ice cream boxes in the middle and high schools. Sales this year are estimated to be $280,000.
RECOMMENDATION: The administration recommends extending the bid for ice cream for the 2008-09 school year to Blue Bell Creameries in the estimated amount of $280,000.
