About this file
This is Addendum #1 to IFB #C25-33017 from the Orientation Center for the Blind (OCB) in Albany, California, addressing questions from prospective bidders for meal service. The contract requires providing meals for four cohort groups per year, with each cohort lasting 12 weeks. The meal service includes daily breakfast delivery and dinner delivery for Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. The maximum number of meals per order is 20, which can be breakfast, dinner, or a combination. A written menu approved by a Registered dietician must be provided to OCB by the 15th of the prior month. The final bid submission deadline is January 30, 2025, by 2:00 pm.
The contractor must determine their bid pricing independently, as DGS guidelines prevent DOR from assisting with bid amounts. The service is specifically for consumers (who are legally blind with varying degrees of vision impairment) and does not include meals for staff. Drinks are not required as part of the IFB. The service requires adhering to OCB's menu selection process, with OCB choosing meals from the contractor's monthly menu for delivery. The contract specifies that meals must be delivered to the facility at 400 Adams Street, Albany, CA 94706.
