Travis County Commissioners Court
August 30, 2005
Item 18
18. Approve modification no. 4 to contract no. 03t00287ld, accent foods, for cafeteria and vending machine concession services. And the recommendation here is to approve a request to increase the prices of variance vending machine items in county facilities and county staff did a survey of other public facilities in this area, ascertained prices for the same items there, and confirmed that in fact our prices are below market and therefore the vendor's request to increase prices is fair and reasonable and staff's recommendation eggs that we approved increases prices for various items set forth in the backup. These prices are -- are well, soda from 65 to 1.75, from 1.10 to 1.25, that's the jumbo that you shouldn't be drinking anyway the wellness committee said. Chips go from 75 to 85 and candy 75 to 85, five or 10-cent increase and it looks like at the university of Texas, Texas state university, Austin community college, state of Texas, various facilities, city of Austin, various facilities, a.p.d., municipal court, if they are brave enough to charge a.p.d. These prices what choice do we have.
>> make it clear what they are recommending is option number 2, which on the candy, it stays at 75 cents, but we did raise the soda prices, but I think chips and candy held.
>> big hit on gums and minutes, 50 to 75 cents.
>> darn those cookies.
>> remember the wellness committee recommendations.
>> option two is what we are making clear, judge?
>> yes, ma'am.
>> move approval.
>> second.
>> discussion? All in favor? That passes by unanimous vote.
