The proposed Modification No. M0022 to Contract No. CW90941 with Aramark Correctional Services, LLC aims to exercise the fourth option year of the contract for resident food management services for the Department of Corrections. The modification sets a not-to-exceed amount of $6,107,415 for the service period from September 15, 2025, to September 14, 2026. This action is in compliance with the Procurement Practices Reform Act of 2010 and is backed by a certification of funding from the Office of the Chief Financial Officer, confirming the availability of necessary funds. The modification also incorporates the latest Department of Labor Wage Determinations to ensure adherence to wage regulations, while all other terms of the original contract remain unchanged.
Additionally, the bill proposes amendments to existing legislation by inserting new legal language that enhances regulatory frameworks and clarifies compliance and enforcement definitions. It also deletes certain outdated provisions to simplify the legal text and reduce confusion. The overall goal of these changes is to modernize the legal framework, making it more efficient and accessible for legal practitioners and the public, thereby promoting better governance and accountability within the relevant sectors.
