RE:

Contract for Milk and Dairy Products for the 2009-10 School Year

Bids were received on May 13, 2009 for Milk and Dairy Products for the 2009-10 school year.  Attached is a tabulation of the two bids received.  Since this bid is food, three bids are not required.  The “three-bid” rule only applies to the first opening of construction bids over $300,000.  The bids included an option to extend the contract for an additional four years, if agreeable with both parties.  This contract will be for the first year of the contract.

Pet Dairy, Chester, VA, submitted the lowest bid of $2,368,897.25.  Pet Dairy has an excellent past performance rating with Guilford County Schools.

RECOMMENDATION:  Staff recommends awarding a contract in the amount of $2,368,897.25 to Pet Dairy for milk and dairy products for the 2009-10 school year.
