ENCLOSURES:
Proposed Resolution
"It is recommended that Metropolitan Dade
County be authorized, on behalf of the City
of Miami, to advertise for, evaluate, and
accept a bid(s) of a vendor(s) to provide
lunches to eligible children during the
summer of 1985 and to enter into a
contract(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."
The 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, crafts, sporting
activities, field trips, and special events. This year, we are
planning to serve up to 6,005 lunches daily in twenty-five 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 conducted for the Sumner 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 Department of Agriculture
°'
A.:
j
(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 and
Recreation that the attached resolution be adopted by the City
Commission.
17
An ordinance appropriating USDA funds for the operation of the
program is also being presented for City Commission action on
April 11.
