M. New Courthouse Vending Concession <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated December 5, 1994: <br />DATE: DECEMBER 5, 1994 CONSENT AGENDA <br />TO: HONORABLE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />TBRU: JAMES E. CHANDLER <br />COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR <br />FROM: H. T. "SONNY" DEAN, DIRECTOR 00 <br />DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVIC <br />SUBJECT: NEW COURTHOUSE VENDING CONCESSION <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The new courthouse has a vending area centrally located to <br />facilitate both employees and public for the purchase of <br />sandwiches, hot or cold beverages and other miscellaneous snacks. <br />In an effort to find a vendor that would properly furnish and <br />manage this area, a Request For Proposals was advertised and <br />distributed to known business specializing in this type operation. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />Five proposals were received. Staff reviewed each submittal and <br />talked with every reference offered by the prospective vendor. It <br />appears that each company was equal in furnishing equipment that <br />would do the job. Prices were somewhat variable but within reason. <br />The big difference was the service offered. <br />FUNDING: <br />There is no cost involved in the agreement as we are not requesting <br />a commission on the sales. It was opted to pass the cost savings <br />on to the employees that purchase the merchandise offered. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />Based on the evaluation of each vendor, staff recommends that the <br />County enter into an agreement with Vending Service Specialists out <br />of Palm City, Florida, to furnish vending machines and service to <br />the new courthouse. It is suggested that the agreement be on a <br />continuing basis, unless either party becomes dissatisfied. At <br />that time, a thirty day notice be given to terminate the agreement. <br />It is also requested that Chairman be authorized to execute all <br />applicable paperwork. <br />22 <br />December 13, 1994 <br />
