body
Background and Purpose of Request:
Requestor: Major Tim Kortes, Jail Administrator
Trinity Services Group, Inc., has provided the Cumberland County Jail for approximately 4 years. We have been satisfied with the access and delivery of products to include customer support for the purchasing of food, paper and cleaning supplies meeting Correctional Standards. Trinity is the sole provider for this type of services for Correctional Facilities. Their contract proposal shows a 6% increase however the U.S. Department of Agriculture is forecasting an 8% increase in grocery costs this year. The low offender population numbers have been the major contributor allowing the jail to stay under this budget.
