File Attachment:
C027349 - Sysco Eastern Wisconsin LLC.pdf
Background: The Administration is requesting authorization to waive the three-year term limits of Administrative Policy 3.09(9)(e) and enter into a contract with Sysco Eastern Wisconsin LLC (“Sysco”) for the delivery of food and supplies to Milwaukee Public Schools. This contractor will be responsible for ordering, warehousing, delivering food/supplies and providing information/services for the Districts Department of Nutrition Services.

The contract allows the District to develop a working relationship with a prime vendor/distributor to provide a broad range of products and services through a single distribution system.

Contractor was chosen pursuant to RFP 968, which closed on March 2, 2018. The contract will run from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019 (the “Initial Term”). The Administration requests that the board waive its maximum three-year contract policy and allow the District to enter into a five-year contract which consists of a one-year contract with the option to extend for four additional one-year periods if certain performance metrics incorporated into the contract are met. The contract extension is being requested due to the significant startup cost to the District.

The total cost of the contract in the Initial Term will not exceed $25 million dollars. Subsequent years are estimated to increase approximately 5% per year due to increasing food costs. If the one-year contract with the option to extend for four additional one-year periods is renewed annually, the total value of the contract over 5-years is estimated at $138 million dollars. The contract will be renewed annually and brought back to the Board for approval.
