  • YEAR CREATED: 2000
  • ENTITY TYPE: County
  • TYPE OF DOCUMENT: RFP - Request for Proposals
This document outlines the requirements and expectations for a food service program in a jail facility. It includes information on the necessary equipment, the quality and grading of the food service, monthly billing procedures, operational procedures in case of kitchen facility unavailability, establishment and revision of food service policies and procedures, and the maintenance of food service accreditation. The document also specifies the food requirements for inmates, including the provision of three meals per day with no more than 14 hours between the evening meal and breakfast. The meals should follow a pre-approved menu and meet the recommended dietary allowances for calories, calcium, iron, and other nutrients. The menu should be planned with jail-tested products and recipes, and inmate preferences should be monitored and adjustments made accordingly. Excessive fat calories should be avoided, and a minimum level of menu quality should be assured with the inclusion of fruits and vegetables. A registered dietician should certify the inmate menu and review it annually, and diets should be available upon medical authorization or chaplain approval. Documentation of all meals served, including substitutions, should be maintained, and only wholesome products should be used. The document also mentions the required meat/egg/cheese equivalents per meal and the required number of main menu items for each meal. The average daily population of the jail is 340 inmates, with the possibility of serving 10-20 meals per day to staff and visitors. The proposals should address the firm's ability to provide all necessary supplies and food products, cleaning and maintenance supplies, routine cleaning and housekeeping, a kitchen manager, and sufficient staff. The employees assigned to the jail should undergo periodic health examinations and comply with health regulations. Additionally, the firm is required to secure and pay for all federal, state, and local licenses, permits, and fees necessary for the operation of the food services. This includes ensuring compliance with all applicable regulations and obtaining the required documentation to legally operate the food service program in the jail facility.
