receiving items that meet Child Nutrition program requirements.
Rationale: Studies indicate that school districts benefit through cooperative
participation with a considerable cost savings. While the purchasing
power of the WTFSC is significant; the costs of goods and services
continues to rise annually. The industry standard shows increases have
been 7 to 10 percent for most food service goods and services. The
current WTFSC increases have been 3 to 4 percent. Cooperative
participation also reduces costs associated with advertising, paperwork,
and time spent on the bidding process as well as more buying power.
Funding: N/A
Recommendation: Consider and take possible action on YISD Contract #20110368,
Interlocal Agreement with Region 17, to participate in the West Texas
Food Service Cooperative, during the period of August 1, 2011 through
July 31, 2012, at a cost of .85% of each District purchase (vendor
participation fee) which is not to exceed $600,000 using Federal Funds.
