Bid Synopsis:
|
MMSD currently supplies 32 elementary schools with pre-packaged, re-heatable meals
from its central food production facility (”FPC”). These meals comprise a combination of
manufactured and scratch-made products that are assembled in proprietary plastic
containers on a mechanized line that seals the meals with film for delivery to the schools.
The racks on which the meals are stored are then shipped to schools the day prior to
service when they are re-heated in convection ovens and served to students.

MMSD seeks to change this operating model to move the preparation of ingredients that
benefit most from preparation just prior to service to the school sites, to increase the use
of scratch-made meal components from both the FPC and the individual school sites, and
to an enhanced service model for serving food that emphasizes variety, freshness, and
visual appeal. This transition will require a variety of new equipment and physical changes
to its kitchens, serving areas, and dining areas. The sites are varied in age, infrastructure,
size, and existing suitability for the changes. In addition, Madison Metropolitan School
District is looking for consulting services on establishing an industry best practice
operational model, staffing and management structure to support the transition to the
proposed new operational model, including projections on anticipated “roll out” time and
required training for staff to be successful in this change.
