(MMS) to provide meals for the Senior Nutrition Program. The Senior Nutrition Program's mission is to provide high quality, cost efficient, nutritious meals to seniors and to promote the role of nutrition in preventative health and long term care. As part of the procurement requirements under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, an organization may only receive funding for up to three years for the same program or activity before a new Request for Proposal must be completed. The City's current contract for this service will expire on June 30, 2010. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council authorize staff to advertise for this service and solicit bids for a qualified firm to administer the City's Senior Nutrition Program for FY 2010-2011 with an option to extent the contract for two (2) additional years. ANALYSIS The Senior Nutrition Program is funded utilizing both General and CDBG funds. The CDBG funding has many Federal overlays including a maximum three-year contract for services requested by a City. The City's current three-year contract with MMS will expire on June 30, 2010. As a result, the City is required to issue a new Request for Proposal and enter into a new contract with a maximum time limit of three years. FINANCIAL REVIEW The CDBG Program provides 56% of the funding for a Senior Nutrition Program while the remaining 44% is offset by the City's General Fund.
