ELDERLY MEALS

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-02 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Commissioners adopted a resolution authorizing an additional five years and $14,125,000 in expenditure authority for Prequalification Pool No. RTQ-01778, Elderly Meal Services, for the Community Services Department. This brings the total modified cumulative pool amount to $29,125,000. The pool provides nutritious meals for elderly clients through congregate meal sites, adult care centers, and Meals on Wheels. The extension aims to maintain efficiency and reduce administrative burdens for existing vendors. Nine prequalified vendors, all with local addresses, currently participate. During a Safety and Health Committee meeting, Commissioner Lopez requested clarification on vendor locations and services provided to seniors in District 5, specifically concerning food insecurity and past meal reductions. Ms. Burgos confirmed a list of vendors and their service areas could be provided, explaining the delivery methods and confirming information would be shared with Commissioner Lopez for community distribution. The item was forwarded with a favorable recommendation.
