Board approves bids for bread and copy paper; milk bid approved with rising annual prices
Summary
The board approved the Panagold bread bid (2.24% increase), an Office Essentials copy-paper bid with a decreased per-ream price, and a milk bid (vendor not named) amid steady year-over-year increases.
The board approved multiple procurement bids for food and supplies for the coming school year.
Bread: Nutrition staff recommended awarding the bread bid to Panagold with an increase of 2.24% over the 2024–25 school year. The board moved and approved the bid.
Copy paper: The board approved the Office Essentials bid out of Springfield, Illinois. Staff reported a decrease from $2.99 per ream last year to $2.88 per ream this year and recommended awarding to Office Essentials.
Milk: The board approved the milk bid after discussion noting milk prices "coming up every year." No vendor name for milk was recorded in the transcript excerpt.
Why it matters: awarding vendors and confirming unit prices affects food-service and supply budgets for schools. The copy-paper bid produced a cost savings compared with the prior year; bread costs rose modestly.
Next steps: staff will finalize vendor contracts and implement the awarded bids for the 2025–26 school year.
