Aramark has been the City's provider of inmate food services since 1997 and <br />continues to perform in a professional and competent manner while remaining the most <br />fiscally responsible choice for these services. All meals are prepared based on the State <br />of California Title 15 nutritional requirements and all Orange County Health Department <br />health and safety requirements. California's Board of State and Community Corrections <br />(BSCC) also requires agencies to provide food services for all incarcerated individuals <br />held within their custody. <br />The original term of the agreement covered the three-year period of October 20, 2020, <br />through June 30, 2023, with two one-year extension options. The Department is electing <br />to exercise the second one-year option to extend the agreement from July 1, 2024, <br />through June 30, 2025. This agreement provides a negotiated 3.31 % average increase <br />to the per -meal price across all relevant average daily population levels from 101-450 <br />and is reflective of continuing inflation in wholesale food product costs. This increase <br />
