Food‑service contracts updated: Belfonte dairy renewal includes a 2¢ per‑carton increase; Roma Bakery recommended for bread
Summary
The committee reviewed a Belfonte dairy contract renewal that includes a 2¢ per‑carton (about 5%) increase above CPI and recommended Roma Bakery to supply fresh bread, which district staff said is preferred locally; staff explained Roma has been used previously and the prior contract had expired.
Staff presented two nutrition‑services procurement items to the committee.
Belfonte dairy: The dairy contract entered last year includes a 2¢ per‑carton price increase this renewal — a roughly 5% increase that exceeds the CPI threshold staff used to determine whether to return an extension to the board. Staff noted this is the first year of renewal and the increase requires board consideration.
Roma Bakery: The district received two responses to the bakery solicitation (Roma Bakery and Bimbo Bakeries). Staff recommended Roma — which supplies fresh bread and meets local expectations for fresh product — and clarified that the new contract is considered “new” on the procurement schedule because the prior contract expired even though the vendor has supplied bread previously.
Committee members asked where bread had come from previously; staff confirmed Roma had been the longstanding supplier and that the documentation labeled the item “new contract” because the old agreement had reached its expiration. The transcript captures presentation and clarifying exchange; no committee approval vote is recorded in the excerpt.
