DISCUSSION
In January 2002, Council approved a three-year agreement with Aramark
Correctional Services, Inc., for food services at the Santa Ana Jail. This
food service includes daily meals for all inmates, inmate commissary
service, and operation of the staff cafeteria in the Police Administration
Building. This existing agreement expired in January 2005. During the
third year of this agreement with Aramark, the Jail established new inmate
housing contractual agreements that increased the estimated inmate
population. The increased inmate population has generated additional jail
revenues. However, the higher inmate population and the increase in
catering services provided by Aramark to other City departments exceeded
the anticipated cost of food services by $100,000 during the third year.
The Police Department staff recommends a one-year renewal of the agreement
with Aramark through January 2006 in an amount not to exceed $1,069,138.
The increased agreement amount reflects the higher inmate population and an
increase in the rate per meal from $1.88 to $1.939. Under the terms of the
original agreement, the price per meal may be adjusted annually in relation
to the cost of living standards. Staff believes the renewal will provide
consistency and efficiency in the function of the Department's food
services operations.
