John Conley, City Manager Agenda Location: Consent Calendar SUBJECT: CONTRACT WITH MEALS ON WHEELS SAN DIEGO COUNTY RECOMMENDATION: Adopt City Council Resolution No. 2024- , approving and executing a contract between the City of Vista and Meals on Wheels San Diego County for as-needed home-delivered meal services.
CORRELATION TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS: Parks and Recreation.
PRIOR ACTION: None.
STATEMENT ON THE SUBJECT: The Recreation and Community Services Department’s Senior Nutrition Program began partnering with Meals on Wheels San Diego County in 2008 to provide home-delivered meals to individuals aged 60 and over. Funding for the Senior Nutrition Program is through County of San Diego Aging and Independent Services, which has strict standards regarding meals. Meals on Wheels San Diego County has consistently met the County’s standards, met previous contract requirements, and provided a level of service seniors have come to expect. Furthermore, Meals on Wheels San Diego County is the only vendor located in North County San Diego that provides such service and can fulfill the city’s requirements for home-delivered meals. Therefore, the requirements for solicitation of multiple proposals are waived in accordance with Vista Municipal Code Section 3.08.060(B)(4) where only one firm can provide or is especially suited to providing the required professional service in a timely manner.
With the current agreement expiring October 31, 2024, staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution approving and executing a contract with Meals on Wheels San Diego County effective November 1, 2024, through June 30, 2029, for an amount not to exceed $467,838 over the entire term of the contract. Because meals cost $7.11 each and the county reimburses a maximum of 14,100 meals, staff anticipate expenditures totaling $100,251 each fiscal year:
Contract Effective Nov. 1, 2024 Account Amount
Fiscal Year 2024-25 1070550.521040.HDM $ 66,834
