School Nutrition Staffing Services

The state of Georgia, through Marietta City Schools in Cobb County, is seeking bids for School Nutrition Staffing Services. The school district is looking to procure temporary/hourly labor and staffing services to provide food service assistants, key personnel, and cafeteria managers for its 14 kitchen locations. The successful vendor will be responsible for managing the training and background checks for the staffing provided. Proposals are due by March 20, 2024, and the contract is expected to begin on July 1, 2024, with the option to renew for up to an additional four years. Marietta City Schools will evaluate proposals based on multiple factors, not solely on cost, and reserves the right to award the contract to the most responsive and responsible bidder whose proposal meets the requirements and is within the project's budget.

The current incumbent vendor is SPUR Staffing, and the food service assistants are paid $15 per hour. Marietta City Schools has experienced issues with fill rate and a lack of a substitute pool. Bidders must provide hourly rates and a markup percentage, and have prior experience providing staffing services to school nutrition programs. The anticipated budget for this contract is approximately $480,000, and the school district is not setting aside any designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond.
