RE: New Contract Rates
Dear Ms. Downs:
Bateman Community Living ("Bateman") provides meals and other related services to
Central Savannah River ARC under a 2016 contract between the parties effective July 5,
2016 (the "Agreement"). Following a meeting in December 2016 with Jeannette
Cummings, Director of the Central Savannah River ARC, at which certain meal
projection shortfalls were discussed, Bateman's Manager, Bob Santana, provided a
letter dated Jan. 12,2017, requesting a 4.22% rate adjustment, based on budgeted meal
shortfalls. Effective February 1,2017, the new rate for meals provided by Bateman
under the Agreement will be $4.45 per meal.
The parties agree that, except as modified herein, the contract terms remain the same.
This document, with the signature line below, will constitute as an amendment to the
original contract. I am enclosing two copies of this letter for you to sign, accepting the
rateincrease.Pleasekeeponeforyourrecordsand
to our office.
Thank you for allowing us to continue to be of service to Augusta/Richmond County.
Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
{fr.|fr,M

Contract with Bateman (Compass – USA)
Department:Recreation and Parks Department
Presenter:H. Glenn Parker
Caption:Motion to approve Amended Contract with Bateman (Compass
– USA).
Background:The Recreation and Parks Department operates six senior
nutrition sites throughout the county through a partnership with
the CSRA Regional Commission Area Agency on Aging that
provides state and federal funds for meals to senior citizens
including home delivery.
Analysis:The CSRA Regional Commission selected Bateman (Compass-
USA) as the qualified food vendor for FY2018 (July 1, 2017 –
June 30, 2018). The contracting and budgeting process for
reimbursement was amended from $4.27 to $4.45 per meal
effective January 1, 2017. A Resolution to Enter Contract with
Bateman (Compass – USA) was approved July 2016.
Financial Impact:This action reflects a $.18 increase in the price of meals.
Alternatives:1. To Approve the Amendment to the Contract with Bateman
(Compass-USA) 2. To Deny would result in forfeiting grant
funds for the reimbursement of congregate and homebound
meals for senior nutrition program.
Recommendation:To Approve the Amendment to the Contract with Bateman for
the price increase for meals.
