ORDINANCE NO. 836 (1127-86)
AN ORDINANCE WAIVING COMPETITIVE BIDDING FOR THE PURPOSE OF
PROVIDING FOOD SERVICE FOR THE PRISONERS IN THE JACKSONVILLE CITY
JAIL; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
WHEREAS, it is necessary for the City to provide meals for
the inmates of the Jacksonville City Jail, and, because the City
does not have a cafeteria or kitchen facility in which to prepare
the meals, meals from local restaurants have been used to feed
the inmates; and
WHEREAS, the City has been required to supplement the
daily meals with additional fruits, roughage, fiber, etc., in
order to meet the recommended daily allowances of various food
groups and vitamins; and
WHEREAS, Rebsamen Regional Medical Center is capable of
providing meals for the Jacksonville City Jail inmates that meet
all recommended daily allowances for adults, are prepared by the
medical center's dietary department, and can be provided to the
City at a very reasonable price less than what any of the local
restaurants can provide: and
WHEREAS, with the possibility that the Jacksonville City
Jail will be used as a housing area for Federal prisoners, it is
required by Federal regulations that all meals served in any
housing facility meet the recommended daily allowances of food
groups and vitamins for adults;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS, THAT:
SECTION 1: Competitive bidding for the purpose of pro-
viding meals for the inmates of the Jacksonville City Jail would
be costly and non-productive, making said competitive bidding
unfeasible and impractical.
SECTION 2: Competitive bidding is hereby waived, pursuant
to Arkansas Statutes Annotated ~19-4425, for the purpose
of providing meals for the inmates of the Jacksonville City Jail
and authorization is given to the City Purchasing Department to
enter into a contract with Rebsamen Regional Medical Center to
provide said meals.
SECTION 3: Any Ordinance in conflict herewith is specifi-
cally repealed to the extent of such conflict.
SECTION 4: This Ordinance shall take effect and be
in force from and after its passage.
