Rockford’s finance and personnel committee rejects lone bid for a program meal service
ROCKFORD, Ill. (WIFR) – Rockford’s finance and personnel committee decides to reject the lone bid for meal services to the city’s Head Start and Early Head Start program.
In a memo to the committee chair, city staff feel there was not enough bids and the only entity to submit one did not meet nutrition requirements. A new bidding process is expected to open soon.
“It’s a concern of us to make sure that we get the right qualified individuals that they know what they’re doing. So, we address the issues that HUD might have or any of that specific criteria that exists out there and the team is going to work to find someone,” 11th ward alderperson Jaime Salgado (D).
