The Police Department, with the assistance of the Purchasing Division, has
completed the evaluation of proposals received for Food Preparation and
Delivery Services (RFP 1-06/07-R) for the Chula Vista Police Department
Holding Facility. Adoption of the resolution accepts proposals, awards the
agreement to Peartrees Catering Incorporated and authorizes the Mayor to
execute the agreement.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the resolution accepting proposals,
awarding the food preparation and delivery services agreement to Peartrees
Catering Incorporated and authorizing the Mayor to execute said agreement.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A
DISCUSSION:
Pursuant to Section 2.56 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code, a Request for
Proposal (RFP) was issued for food preparation and delivery services to the
Police Department Holding Facility. The RFP outlined the purpose, period of
coverage, response instructions, minimum qualifications, scope of services and
general terms/conditions. On September 29, 2006, a public notice was
advertised in the Star News regarding this request for proposal, with a proposal
submittal deadline of October 18, 2006. Additionally, seven companies in the
food preparation and delivery business that potentially qualify for the requested
services were contacted, and five companies expressed interest. However, only
one company (peartrees Catering, Inc.) responded to the RFP by submitting a
proposal. The proposal was unsealed during the public bid opening on October
18, 2006. No vendors attended the bid opening.

Meeting Date: 11/14/06
The qualification and selection process involved a thorough proposal review to
determine if the proposal conforms to the solicitation and if the proposal is
considered to be in the best interest of the City, with price, experience and
service delivery being considered. Based on this evaluation, the Police
Department recommends awarding Peartrees Catering Inc. for the food
preparation and delivery services to the Police DepartfTlent Holding Facility. The
proposal from Peartrees Catering Inc. offered reasonable costs, 18 years of
experience in the food preparation and delivery business, and all responses
complied with the scopes of services outlined in the RFP. On October 20, 2006,
a notice of intent to award was sent to Peartrees Catering Inc.
This food preparation and delivery services agreement covers a two-year period
beginning December 1, 2006 through November 30, 2008 and may be extended,
by mutual consent, for five additional one-year periods. Moreover, the rates for
food preparation and delivery services are fixed for the first two years of the
agreement. Any increase in food preparation and/or delivery services may be
negotiated at the conclusion of the initial two-year period. Prior to each annual
extension, staff will evaluate the need to re-bid the contract.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICTS:
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined
that it is not site specific and consequently the 500 foot rule found in California
Code of Regulations section 18704.2(a)(1) is not applicable to this decision.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Costs for food preparation and delivery services to the Police Department
Holding Facility are already included in the Police Department's budget.
Therefore, there is no additional fiscal impact to the General Fund by awarding
this agreement. The total value of this contract will be approximately $400,000
for the first two years of the contract, depending upon the number of prisoners
held at the Holding Facility during this period.
