School Nutrition Services- Option to Renew Contract for Produce

On June 19, 2009, the Board of Education approved a contract with Foster Caviness, Inc., Greensboro, NC, for produce for School Nutrition Services.  The bid included an option to extend the bid for up to four additional years.

On June 4, 2010, the Board exercised it’s first option to renew the contract for the 2010-11 school year. 

Based on excellent performance and Foster Caviness, Inc.’s continued compliance with all contract terms and specifications, we are requesting to exercise our option to extend the contract for the 2011-12 school year. The estimated value of the contract for the 2011-12 school year is $480,795 (estimate is based on prior year’s utilization and consumption as well as future menu planning).

RECOMMENDATION:  The administration recommends exercising the option to renew the contract with Foster Caviness, Inc. for produce for the 2011-2012 school year.
