Title
CONSIDER AWARDING A CONTRACT TO THE LIGHTHOUSE-HOME FOR MEDICALLY FRAGILE CHILDREN TO PROVIDE FREE SNACKS AND LUNCH FOR THE CITY'S SUMMER AND AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS (CITY COUNCIL)

I. SUMMARY
On September 3, 2020, the City released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for meal and snack services for the summer and afterschool programs - Kids Club, Summer Day Camp, and 3-in-1 Enrichment. A total of five (5) firms submitted proposals. After reviewing and evaluating the submissions, The Lighthouse-Home for Medically Fragile Children (Lighthouse) was selected by staff as the recommended vendor based on responsiveness to the RFP's proposal requirements and experience. Moreover, this service would be provided at no cost, as Lighthouse receives its funding through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service.
