Jail Meal
o
Bids Asked
By Powell
Bids will be opened at 10
a.m. next Thursday, Jan. 7, on
meals for the Chattooga Coun
ty Jail for the following six
months.
The proposals will be open
ed by Commissioner Harry
Powefl in his courthouse office.
R&M Cafeteria, Hifhland
Street, Summerville, holds the
current contract for the jail
meals. It will expire today but
the restaurant apparently will
continue serving meals
through Jan. 7. It has held the
contract since last spring.
The current cost to the
county is $1.90 for breakfast
er inmate daily and $2.20 per
ginner meal daily.
The commissioner had been
awarding the contracts on a
three-month basis but the ad in
this week’s edition of The
News calls for a six-month
contract.
The ad says the meals must
total 3,100 calories per inmate
daily, based on a federal court
order governing jail operations.
The meals are to be served at
about 7:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. each
day.
