Overview

Summary

The Richmond City Sheriff's Office (RCSO) seeks to establish a contract through competitive negotiation for the provision of food as part of a comprehensive food service program which meets safety and nutritional standards to all inmates and employees of the Richmond City Justice Center (RCJC). The food service program must meet the needs of those with medical or religious diets in accordance with policies established by the Sheriff.

Background

Opened in July of 2014, the RCJC is a correctional facility located in the City of Richmond at 1701 Fairfield Way. "The Sheriff of the City of Richmond operates the RCJC and controls activities within the RCJC pursuant to section 53.1-116.2 of the Code of Virginia and other applicable laws. The City is merely acting as the procurement agent for the Sheriff for this solicitation. The City is not liable under any resulting contract." The RCJC has a rated capacity of 1,032 residents, including male, female, and juvenile Inmates. RCJC has an on-site, state of the art kitchen and café with seating area for RCSO employees.

The RCJC houses approximately 630 Inmates five days a week, with an additional 34 Inmates on the weekend. Inmates are housed on six floors with 28 pods in the main building and an additional four pods are located in the Community Custody building. The times for meal service are according to the time prescribed to a particular pod. The meals are delivered to the Inmates on insulated and covered carts filled with individual trays. The Sheriff oversees the operation of the RCJC with a staff of approximately 325 sworn and civilian staff members.
