ENCLOSURES.
RECOMMENDATION:
Resolution for the Summer
Food Service Program for
Children 1990.
It is respectfully recommended that Metropolitan Dade County be
" authorized, on behalf of the City of Miami, to advertise for,
evaluate, and accept a bids) of a vendors) to provide lunches to
eligible children during the summer of 1990 and to enter into a con-
tract(s) and/or agreement(s) with the successful bidder(s) to serve
the number of lunches specified by the City of Miami at a fixed rate
per lunch not to exceed the reimbursement rate established by the
Florida Department of Education.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Miami Department of Parks, Recreation and Public Facili-
ties Summer Food Service Program provides a box lunch to children
aged 18 and under during the summer. Since 1968, the City of Miami
has provided these summer lunches as an integral part of a summer
recreation program offering arts and crafts, sporting activities,
field trips, and special events. This year, we are planning to serve
up to 2,212 lunches, and 2,253 snacks daily in thirty (30) sites
carefully chosen to provide reasonable access to all of Miami's
youth.
The Florida Department of Education has again selected Metropolitan
Dade County as the agency responsible for the selection of the vendor
for sponsors who wish to be covered under the "umbrella" bid conduct-
ed for the Summer Food Program in Dade County. The "invitation to
bid" document which Metro -Dade County must prepare is reviewed and
approved by the Florida Department of Education (DOE) for conformance
with the rules and regulations promulgated by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture (USDA). For example, the lunch menu must
meet USDA's strict nutritional requirements. Preparation of our own
bid document would be an arduous task requiring approval of DOE.
Also, it is expected that the rate per lunch will be lower if the
City participates in Dade County's "umbrella" bid. All operational
and administrative expenses will be paid by the USDA.
Therefore, it is recommended by the Department of Parks, Recreation
and Public Facilities that the attached resolution ae adopted by the
City Commission.
An ordinance appropriating USDA funds for the operation of the pro-
gram is also being presented for City Commission action.
