Committee forwards school nutrition software and multiple contract rollovers, including new Hershey ice-cream bid
Summary
The finance committee voted to send a recommendation to contract with I3 Education for school nutrition software and to forward several contract rollover approvals (US Foods, Ward's Food Pro, milk supplier, beverage, chemicals) and a new ice-cream bid with Hershey to the full board.
The finance committee approved forwarding a set of school-nutrition procurement items to the full board, including a recommendation to award a new nutrition software contract and multiple annual contract rollovers.
Miss McLean told the committee the school nutrition department completed a competitive process for a software package and recommends contract award to I3 Education. She said the district has used the previous nutrition package for 15–20 years and the new procurement follows technology and finance review.
The committee also considered routine annual rollovers for multiple vendors used by the nutrition department, including US Foods, Ward's Food Pro and Produce, milk suppliers, Pepsi bottling for beverages, and a chemical contract with SFS Pack. For each vendor the committee entertained questions, heard none, and voted to forward rollover approvals to the full board.
In a separate bid (not a rollover), staff recommended award of an ice-cream contract to Hershey for roughly $175,000–$176,000 for the 25–26 school year. Miss McLean said the item required initial approval because the contract was rebid after the vendor exhausted allowable rollovers.
All procurement items were moved to the full board for action; the committee approved forwarding each item by voice vote. Formal contract awards, final pricing and any amendments will be decided at the full-board meeting with contract exhibits.
