Bids
On Jail
Meals
Friday
Bids will be opened at 10
a.m. Friday on meals for in
mates at the Chattooga Coun
ty Jail.
Commissioner Jim Parker
is scheduled to open the pro
posals at that time. The 90-day
contract would start next
Monday.
It will be the first time that
a provider will be asked to
serve three meals per day to
the inmates. At this time,
prisoners are served two meals
daily, breakfast and supper.
- Under the bid proposal,
they would be served greakfast
at 7:30 a.m., lunch at noon and
sup'Fer at 5:30 p.m.
he meals must contain a
total of 3,100 calories, the same
as under the current contract
with The Round Table
restaurant, Pennville.
ATTORNEY
Todd Johnson, the attorney
for the inmates, has said meals
in past years haven't provided
the 3,100-calorie minimum per
day. The new proposal is an ef
fort by Commissioner Parker
to meet that demand by
dividing the caloric content
between three meals. :
In addition, the new pro
posal rea(iuires greparation of
the meals to be supervised
twice weekly by a licensed or
registered dietician and for
meal menus and plans to be
submitted to the commis
sioner’s office.
The more stringent re
quirements are an effort by the
county to avoid amending a
1984 f):aderal court order un%er
which the jail is operated.
Johnson had sought a consent
amendment to the order.
