RE: |
Contract for Produce for the 2009-10 School Year
|
|
Bids were received on May 14, 2009, for Produce for the 2009-10 school year. Attached is a tabulation for the four bids received. These bids included an option to entend the contract for an additional four years if agreeable with both parties. This contract will be for the frist year of the contract.
The low bidder, R & H Produce Co., Inc., Raleigh, NC, bid was non-responsive due to pricing errors and lack of bid documentation. Foster Caviness, Inc., Greensboro, NC, submitted the lowest responsible, responsive bid with an estimated cost of $532,347 (estimate based on prior years’ utilization/consumption).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends rejecting the bid submitted by R & H Produce Co. and awarding a contract to Foster Caviness, Inc. for produce for the 2009-10 school year.
