Master Menu Clause Samples

Master Menu. 5.30.1.1.1. The DC has developed, and has in place, a Master Menu that shall be followed by CONTRACTOR to ensure inmates housed in the Facility receive the same caloric and dietary requirements. 5.30.1.1.2. CONTRACTOR shall make provisions for providing sack lunches for inmate work crews in compliance with the applicable DC rules or procedures.

Master Menu. The Department’s Master Menu shall be served as written, unless modified to meet special dietary requirements. Any variations from the Master Menu must receive prior approval of the Department's Contract Manager or designee, except as indicated in Section F., 4., Exceptions to the Master Menu. The Department reserves the right to change the Master Menu and will provide the Contractor thirty (30) days written notice of change. It is anticipated that changes to the Master Menu will not increase the overall cost of food products as such changes are to be unsubstantial in nature. The Contractor shall provide beverages as specified by the Master Menu and water shall be available at all meals on an unlimited basis. The nutrient drink served at the evening meal shall be fortified and shall be purchased as required by the Bureau of Food Services. Compliance with the Master Menu shall include correct portions, correctly utilizing recipes and use of proper ingredients utilizing the approved foods list. The recipes may be modified upon prior written approval of the Contract Manager after review by the Department’s Dietician. All modified recipes shall meet the Department’s guidelines. The Master Menu consists of several components with specific guidelines that meet various inmate dietary needs. Each component has an alternate entrée to provide for religious needs and some inmate preferences. The components of the Master Menu are as follows: a. Adult Master Component This component contains the menu requirements for the general adult inmate population and meets the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA). b. Youthful Offender Component This component contains the menu requirements for the inmate population under the age of twenty-one (21). c. Modified Diet Component This component contains the menu requirements for meeting specific dietary needs of inmates with medical conditions. d. Alternate Menu Component This component contains the menu requirements designed to meet the dietary requirement of both female offenders and geriatric male inmates (50 years of age or older). Currently, this component is not being utilized as part of the Master Menu but may be added by the Department at a later date.
