City of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda Item Report
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council authorize staff to enter into a food service contract with
Morrison Management Specialists for fiscal year 2006-2007.
BACKGROUND:
Each year, the City of Culver City receives grant funds from the Los Angeles County
Area Agency on Aging (“LACAAA”) through the Older Americans Act to fund a
Senior Nutrition Program. These grant funds are used to contract with a caterer to
provide meals for seniors throughout the week at the Senior Center and at Roxbury
Park. The meals must conform to the delivery and nutritional requirements of
LACAAA. LACAAA also requires that every three to four years, the City enter into
the competitive award process for the meal provider’s contract.
On March 10, 2003, the City Council authorized the Parks, Recreation and
Community Services Department to request bids from caterers to supply meals to
the Senior Nutrition Program for the three-year period beginning July 1, 2003. A list
of 16 approved caterers was obtained from LACAAA. Bids were opened on June
19, 2003. The City received two competing bids that met all of the bid requirements.
The bids were evaluated on the basis of five criteria by the Nutrition Director and the
Nutrition Advisory Council of the Culver City Senior Center.
On July 28, 2003, the City Council awarded the contract to Morrison Healthcare
Food Services Inc. (“Morrison”) and authorized staff to enter into an agreement with
them for fiscal year 2003-2004.

City Council Agenda Item Report
DISCUSSION:
Morrison has been providing meals to the Culver City Senior Center since 1990.
During this time, the City has experienced a high degree of professional
management and food quality from this provider. Both Culver City and LACAAA
staff regard Morrison as one of the best caterers available for senior nutrition
programs.
In their June 19, 2003 proposal, Morrison agreed to provide between 125-350 meals
per day at the price per meal of $2.65 during fiscal year 2003-2004. Morrison has
continued to provide meals for this same price during fiscal year 2004-2005. The
price per meal was increased to $2.73 for fiscal year 2005-2006. The price per meal
will remain at $2.73 and will allow the City to serve 32,691 meals for fiscal year
2006-2007.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
This entire program is 100% grant funded through the Older Americans Act and has
no fiscal impact on the General Fund.
