Overview

Summary

The Regional Education Service Center (RESC) Alliance Food Trust (“RAFT”) is requesting proposals for Frozen, Grocery and Snack Products.

The Regional Education Service Center Alliance Food Trust is a public purchasing consortium within the meaning of Conn. Gen. Stat. § 7-148v(b). Its members consist of school districts identified in the Specifications. RAFT reserves the right to add or remove member districts. The Capitol Region Education Council is acting as administrative agent for the RESC Alliance Food Trust. The successful proposer will contract directly with, and separately invoice, each individual member school district.

Background

The Capitol Region Education Council (CREC) is the first and largest of Connecticut's six Regional Educational Service Centers (RESCs). It serves thirty five member public school districts of north central Connecticut. CREC was established in 1966 as a grassroots effort of local school districts under the provisions of the Connecticut General Statute (C.G.S.), Section 10-66 a.-n. The Connecticut State Department of Education is CREC’s regulatory State agency.

Publicly elected board of education members appointed by each member school district served by CREC as CREC Council directors govern CREC. The office term of such appointed Council directors cannot exceed four years. The Council appoints an executive director to serve as the executive agent of CREC. Pursuant to C.G.S. 10-66c, CREC, as a regional educational service center, is a body corporate and politic and, as such, is a public educational authority acting on behalf of the State of Connecticut. The Internal Revenue Service has determined CREC to be an organization described in Section 170 (c) (1) of the Code. CREC's mission is to improve the quality of public education through cooperative programs.

CREC is pleased to make this RFP available and looks forward to receiving your Proposals.
CREC is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
