This <br />food service includes daily meals for all inmates, inmate commissary <br />service, and operation of the staff cafeteria in the Police Administration <br />Building. This existing agreement expired in January 2005. During the <br />third year of this agreement with Aramark, the Jail established new inmate <br />housing contractual agreements that increased the estimated inmate <br />population. The increased inmate population has generated additional jail <br />revenues. However, the higher inmate population and the increase in <br />catering services provided by Aramark to other City departments exceeded <br />the anticipated cost of food services by $100,000 during the third year. <br /> <br />The Police Department staff recommends a one-year renewal of the agreement <br />with Aramark through January 2006 in an amount not to exceed $1,069,138. <br />The increased agreement amount reflects the higher inmate population and an <br />increase in the rate per meal from $1.88 to $1.939. Under the terms of the <br />original agreement, the price per meal may be adjusted annually in relation <br />to the cost of living standards. Staff believes the renewal will provide <br />consistency and efficiency in the function of the Department's food <br />services operations. <br /> <br />25C-1 <br />
