INTRODUCED BY Crystal Williams, County Legislator
Body
WHEREAS, by Resolution 20949, dated May 10, 2022, the Legislature authorized the transfer of $1,000,000.00 within the 2022 American Rescue Plan Fund and requested the County Administration to solicit competitive proposals from qualified agencies for the purpose of insuring that food insecurity is minimized; and,
WHEREAS, the Director of Finance and Purchasing has solicited proposals on Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 64-22 in response to that Resolution; and,

WHEREAS, the County Administrator recommends the award of a contract for the furnishing of these services to Harvesters- The Community Food Network, of Kansas City, MO, under the terms and conditions of RFP No. 64-22, for the reason that a single contract with Harvesters would allow for the purchase of the food requested by all respondents and maximize the financial impact of the award while simplifying project administration; and,
