Summary:
MDUSD conducted an informal RFP for Linen Services in June 2023 and awarded the contract to Aramark on July 1, 2023, which was approved by the Board of Education on June 28, 2023 (Item #15.26). Since this time, we have had numerous product and service issues, which Aramark has been unable to remedy. Therefore, we issued a Notice of Breach/Termination letter to Aramark on November 28, 2023, which is effective December 31, 2023. We are seeking the Board's approval to award the duration of the contract to NuWest, which was the runner up in the informal RFP issued in June 2023. Attached please find the NuWest Proposal.
