The LEA’s food service goals are to provide nutritious, high-quality meals to students and participants in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), School Breakfast Program (SBP), Fresh Fruits & Vegetables Program (FFVP), and Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), to accommodate special diets where medically necessary, improve the nutritional quality of meals, and maintain a financially viable food service program. General food service goals are to: • Provide an appealing and nutritionally sound program for students as economically as possible; • Stimulate participation in the program through improved relations with students, staff, and the community by creating awareness of the direct correlation between adequate nutrition for students and their ability to learn; • Increase participation at all levels of the food service program by improving meal quality, seeking student and parent input, offering menu variations, and improved planning; • Maintain reasonable prices for students and adults participating in the food service program; • Maintain student and staff morale at a high level; • To demonstrate environmental and energy awareness and responsibility by minimizing waste in any form; • To maintain a food service program that is self-supporting for direct costs; • To maintain a stable, well-trained, and supportive food staff; and • To provide catering as requested for school-related activities. The Idaho State Department of Education (SDE), Child Nutrition Programs (CNP), is responsible for administering all USDA Child Nutrition Programs in Idaho. As applicable, all terms and conditions of procurement and contracting for the LEA will follow Idaho Code §§54- 1926, 67-2806, 2 CFR Part 200, and 7 CFR Part 225, and all other applicable state and federal laws and regulations. The successful Respondent will be required to enter into an agreement using a standard form agreement approved by the SDE. The LEA will consider contracts in any form or combination of forms that comply with federal and state regulations regarding lunch, breakfast, summer food, and fresh fruit and vegetable programs. The basis for computing meal equivalency shall comply with such regulations and be fully described by the FSMC. To respond to this RFP, interested Respondents must present evidence of experience, ability, and financial standing necessary to meet the requirements stated in this RFP. The LEA will measure this evidence by scoring the proposals, using a point system that will rank each proposal from highest to lowest, to determine which proposals they will consider for the award of a contract.

Acceptance of Contractual Requirements The LEA considers this RFP to be legally binding. This RFP and the winning proposal submitted by a Respondent in response to this RFP will be incorporated into the subsequent awarded contract between the selected Respondent and the LEA. This means the LEA expects the Respondent’s proposal to satisfy all requirements listed herein. Exceptions should be explicitly noted in the Respondent’s proposal. Lack of exceptions listed on a Respondent’s proposal will be considered as acceptance of all the specifications including terms and conditions and other requirements presented in this RFP. All exceptions will be evaluated after the due date during the time of proposal evaluations. No exceptions, addendums, amendments, or other changes to the awarded contract will be allowed thereafter. The addition of the Respondent’s terms and conditions after the due date of this RFP will not be allowed.

If a proposal contains any information that is considered a trade secret, the LEA, upon written request by the Respondent, shall exempt from public inspection and copying such proprietary information, trade secrets, or other information contained in the Respondent’s proposal that relates to the Respondent’s unique methods of conducting business or of determining prices or premium rates to be charged for services, or information that would otherwise be considered exempt from disclosure under Idaho Code §74-107(1) as a trade secret. Respondents are responsible for clearly identifying information contained in a proposal that constitutes a trade secret with the following caption: “This data constitutes a trade secret and shall not be disclosed except by the Idaho Public Records Act.” Sheets containing trade secret information must not contain any non-trade secret material. A violation of this requirement may result in the entire sheet being subject to public disclosure.

General Information The LEA reserves the right, in its sole discretion: • To amend the RFP; • To extend the deadline for submitting proposals; • To decide whether a proposal does or does not substantially comply with the requirements of this RFP; • To waive any minor irregularity, informality, or nonconformance with this RFP; • To obtain or provide references to other public agencies, upon request, regarding the Respondent’s contract performance; and • At any time before the contract execution (including after the announcement of the apparent awardee): o To reject any proposal that fails to substantially comply with all prescribed RFP requirements and procedures, and o To reject all proposals received and cancel this RFP upon finding that there is good cause to do so and that such cancellation would be in the LEA’s best interests. All Respondents who submit a response to this RFP understand and agree that the LEA is not obligated to award a contract to any Respondent, nor is the LEA responsible for any expenses incurred by the Respondents in submitting a response to this RFP.

If any part of this RFP is amended, addenda will be posted on the LEA’s website at: https://www.sd272.org/financials/bids-rfps Reservations The LEA Board of Trustees herein expressly reserves the following rights: 1. To negotiate separately with any source whatsoever in any manner necessary to serve the best interests of the LEA. The LEA does not intend to award a contract solely based on any response made to this RFP or in any way to pay for information solicited or obtained. The information obtained will be used in determining what seems to best serve the interests of the LEA. 2. To consider the competency and responsibility of Respondents and that of their proposed subcontractors, if any, in making the award. 3. To make the award based on its best judgment as to which contractor will provide a program that best meets the LEA’s expectations of a program employing the highest standards of quality, nutritional standards, palatability, and menu variety, with price being the primary consideration. 4. To make such changes or corrections to plans, specifications, or quantities as it may deem necessary or desirable before the proposal opening. Respondents will be notified of such changes in writing by addenda posted to the LEA’s website. Respondents who provide their name and email address to the LEA of their intent to respond to this RFP will also be notified by email. Contract Award The initial contract period shall commence on July 1, 2024, and end on June 30, 2025. The contract may be renewed at LEA option for up to four (4), one-year periods as allowed by federal and state regulations. The total contract period is not to extend beyond June 30, 2029. Once an award is provided to a Respondent, and a contract is executed, an addendum, approved by both parties, may be used to make minor modifications (anything above the simplified acquisition threshold) to the contract. Minor modifications do not substantially change the scope of the contract. No material changes in the contract may be made by either party. Financial terms of the contract are based upon existing conditions and the following assumptions. If there is a material change in conditions, including, without limitation, changes to the following assumptions, this contract (1) may be terminated at the end of the current term; or (2) continue under the same terms as written, whichever is mutually agreed upon. mailto:Jessica.grantham@lakeland272.org https://www.sd272.org/financials/bids-rfps Lakeland Joint School District #272 FS-2024 RFP pg. 14 The distinction between a minor change and a material change cannot be quantified for every action undertaken in the Child Nutrition programs. However, at a minimum, a change is deemed material when, had the term changes been included in the solicitation and original contract, the Respondents may have responded differently to the RFP. Services or features contingent on multi-year contracts are not allowable, for example, equipment installation may not be stipulated for contract renewal years. A minor change does not (1) significantly increase the Respondent’s cost of providing management service, or (2) significantly decrease the net revenue derived from food service operations. The LEA reserves the right to expand the federal Child Nutrition programs to provide availability of food resources to children and students that can be served through these programs so long as both parties are in agreement and prior approval is obtained from the SDE. Either party may terminate the contract during any year by giving sixty (60) days' written notice to the other party of its intention to terminate the contract. Further, TH FSMC shall provide written notice to the LEA, sixty (60) days before the annual renewal date, of its intent to renew the contract. The LEA reserves the right, by written notice, to terminate the contract immediately due to circumstances beyond the control of either party. The original contract must specify the Consumer Price Index (CPI) Food Away From Home series of the CPI for All Urban Consumers, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Department of Labor for the 12-month period of March 2023 to March 2024. Adjustment factors may include changes in federal reimbursement rates. The LEA must determine and receive the full value of USDA Foods, i.e., credits or reductions. The winning Respondent is responsible for reporting this monthly to the LEA. Adjustments may be accomplished on the monthly invoice from the winning Respondent, or by an annual adjustment as determined by the LEA. USDA Foods values are posted per district in WBSCM and shall include the basic USDA Foods allocation. Termination of Contract Non-compliance with the terms of this specification and the ensuing contract can result in the cancellation of the contract. In the event of cancellation, the LEA will not be obligated to compensate the FSMC for any work undertaken. The FSMC shall be liable for any damages incurred by the LEA due to non-compliance. 7 CFR 225.6(I)(2)(xiii) In cases of nonperformance or noncompliance on the part of the food service management company, the company shall pay the sponsor for any excess costs that the sponsor may incur by obtaining meals from another source; Certificate of Insurance The FSMC shall maintain, as a direct cost of operation, the following minimum insurance coverage while performing services hereunder. The policy(s) will provide for at least thirty (30) days' written notice of cancellation or material alteration of coverage to be given to the Lakeland Joint School District #272 FS-2024 RFP pg. 15 LEA. The LEA shall receive, on the effective date of the Contract, a certificate(s) of insurance verifying the coverage and naming the LEA as co-insured. A. Comprehensive General Liability with Bodily Injury and Property Damage limit of $2,000,000 per occurrence/aggregate.

The FSMC further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the LEA from all damages assessed to the LEA as a result of the FMSC's failure to comply with the acts and standards thereunder and for the failure of the items furnished under this order to comply. State and Federal Regulations All services offered under this proposal shall be in accordance with all applicable local, state,r and federal laws and regulations regarding, but not limited to, equal opportunity employment, prevailing wages, overtime compensation, licensing and training of the FSMCs employees, sanitation, and quality and quantity of materials supplied.

Idaho State sales tax, when applicable, should be added as a separate item on invoices only, not to be included in the proposal.
