SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approve the Proposed Contract for Student Nutrition Services with Florida and Tampa Bay American Red Cross (Student Services and Federal Programs Division)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Student Nutrition Services (SNS) will provide lunch and dinner meals to the Tampa Bay Chapter of the American Red Cross for their mass care mobile unit. After a declared state of emergency, a production kitchen will be put into operation, based on the availability of a workable and fully functional facility, to provide up to 20,000 meals (10,000 lunches and 10,000 dinners) for pick up and distribution by the Red Cross. Depending on the full functionally of the kitchen, Wharton High School is the first choice and Riverview High School is the second choice. These schools have the same design layout and equipment can be added as needed. SNS will be reimbursed on an established per meal cost.
