ANNUAL MEALS CONTRACT BIDS
As you are aware on July 25, 1995, we opened bid proposals for meal service
at the Senior Center. Three Bids were received. Carlsbad By The Sea was the
low bidder.
On July 26, 1995, I met with the Area Agency on Aging Nutritionist at which
time we reviewed the menus submitted by Carlsbad By The Sea.
The sample menu submitted does not meet the minimum requirements for Title
Ill C1 meals. On many of the menus submitted, the potatoes, beans, yams,
etc. are listed as meeting the Bread/Starch requirement, they do not. These
items are classified as a vegetable. What this means is that a Bread/Starch
would need to be added to the menu on those days, and the cost of the meal
would likely to increase.
The Nutritionist posed concern over the casserole type meals proposed
(enchilada, stew, tuna ala king, etc). The caterer would need to be made aware
that these types of meals require 3 ounces of protein be provided in each
serving, not a 3 ounce serving of the casserole. In her opinion this would
potentially cause the price to increase. She further stated that meals such as
"Hot Dog on a Bun" was totally unacceptable.
After reviewing the menu, the Nutritionist's overall comments indicated that the
quality of the proposed menu was far below the standard of menus which we
are presently receiving.
With this in mind, and considering that the sample menus do not meet the
minimum standard, I would recommend that the Senior Meals Contract be
awarded to the City of Vista,
