Provide the legislature with high-quality food service, including innovative food service offerings programs, and catering. Food quality and service should be above average and comparable with area restaurants and cafeterias. The cafeteria at the Legislative Office Building (LOB) should meet the needs of legislators, staff, and visitors by providing high quality food, convenience, and quick service. Food service is provided as a service to the legislators, staff, and visitors at the State Capitol and LOB. It is not considered as a part of the employee benefit package. The operating concept and design provide for flexibility to adjust to different populations during legislative sessions and in off session periods. The awarded respondent must be able to accommodate large groups of people (e.g., school groups, advocacy groups) on top of regular building population. A renovation of the cafeteria, including the seating area, servery, and back kitchen is being considered and made occur concurrently within the intended contract term. The CGA will rely on the awarded respondent to become a key collaborator during this process.
