About this file

This document contains additional questions and answers related to Invitation for Bid (IFB) B-13490 for the provision of food services at the Illinois Department of Human Services Treatment and Detention Facility (TDF) located in Rushville, Illinois. The IFB requests vendors to provide all food products, on-site food preparation and distribution for the facility's residents and staff. Key details include the requirement for a variety of meat options, including diced chicken, as well as the provision of an additional beverage besides milk for the lunch meal. The contractor will be responsible for providing cleaning and dishwashing chemicals, as well as arranging for phone and internet service. The current incumbent has provided a turkey-based menu that is not well liked, and the state is seeking to improve the variety of meat offerings in the next contract.

Regarding pricing, the cost of snacks is to be included in the dinner meal price, and the state has provided the starting pay rate for security officers ($3,682 per month) as well as the cost of the required background and fingerprint testing ($32.80). The IFB also specifies that two security officers are typically assigned to the kitchen area.

1) The RFP states that the vendor shall ensure that menus include a variety of meats (p.9). As the current menu offers multiple types of meats including diced chicken – will the county continue to require diced chicken recipes? The current contract does not require diced Chicken, however it does not allow for mechanically separated poultry. The current vendor has created a turkey based menu, which is not well liked. We want to provide a variety of meat in this next contract.
