From June 13, 2013 
Fruits and Vegetables Bid 

EXPLANATION

On the June 13, 2013 the Board of Education tabled GISD Bid # 12-13-32 Fruits and Vegetables on the Consent Agenda questioning certain items on the bid (candy, snack items, coffee and potato chips).

The items in question are utilized ONLY at the “Bistro” the Gadsden Administrative Complex test kitchen.  The “Bistro” provides a service to the District’s employees by furnishing breakfast, lunch and snack items at an established price within the guidelines of USDA for pricing adult meals.

The Student Nutrition Program provides such as service for the convenience of the District’s employees, since the area does not offer eating establishment in the near vicinity and the “lunch time “is limited.

The G.I.S.D. Bid Title as is stated may be misleading.  The Student Nutrition Program suggest to utilize an more appropriate title for this bid such as “G.I.S.D. Bid for Dry Goods”.
