This is an Addendum to RFP #2610 issued by Kenosha County, Wisconsin for food service operations at Brookside Care Center. The addendum extends the proposal submission deadline from May 20, 2026 to May 27, 2026 at 1:00 PM to allow vendors additional time to prepare and submit their responses. The contract requires comprehensive food service management for approximately 178 residents across Brookside Care Center and the adjacent Willowbrook Assisted Living facility, encompassing meal planning, food preparation, bistro operations, nutritional support, specialized diet preparations, and community event catering. The selected contractor must develop cyclical menus, implement food safety management protocols, and ensure compliance with Wisconsin HHS 132 Code and CMS regulations. A pre-proposal conference was scheduled for April 22, 2026 at 9:00 AM at Brookside Care Center. The contract term runs from January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2031, with an estimated award date of June 30, 2026.

The contractor is responsible for providing all labor, food, and supply costs, with the County reimbursing actual food and supply expenses based on itemized invoices. Evaluation criteria are weighted as follows: cost (20 points), company profile (10 points), operational plan (30 points), staffing plan (20 points), and menu offerings (20 points). The County retains four existing dietary staff members—one Cook at 0.8 FTE and three Dietary Service Aides at 1.0 FTE each—who will transition to the contractor's employment and be phased out through natural attrition with compensation to be negotiated. The County provides facility infrastructure, equipment, utilities, building maintenance, and heavy cleaning services, while the contractor assumes responsibility for routine sanitation, employee staffing and training, computer systems management, and regulatory compliance. Insurance requirements include Commercial General Liability ($3,000,000 per occurrence/$5,000,000 aggregate), Professional Liability ($1,000,000), Automobile Liability ($1,000,000), and Workers Compensation at statutory limits, with Kenosha County named as additional insured.
