By: Candice Cheung, Assistant Director of Recreation and Community
Services
SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH BATEMAN
COMMUNITY LIVING, LLC. D.B.A. TRIO COMMUNITY MEALS TO
PROVIDE THE SENIOR MEALS PROGRAM FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023-24
IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $103,700
CEQA: Not a Project
Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY
The City of Arcadia’s Senior Nutrition Program provides a warm and healthy meal,
Monday through Friday, to approximately 80 seniors who pay the City’s established fee
of $2.00 per meal. The City issued a request for proposals (“RFP”) to obtain bids to ensure
the quality and cost of each meal is the best option for the program. Based on the most
recent RFP process, it is recommended that the City Council approve, authorize and
direct the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with TRIO
Community Meals, to provide the senior meals program for Fiscal Year 2023-24, with an
option for two, (1) one-year renewal periods thereafter, at the City’s discretion.
BACKGROUND
The congregate meals program is offered Monday through Friday at 11:30 a.m. to adults,
55 years of age and older. The primary intent of the program is to meet one-third of the
participants’ daily nutritional intake and the menu pattern must uphold strict Los Angeles
County Department of Public Health standards. In addition, the program offers a social
outlet to participants and a way to reduce isolation by building friendship and peer support.
Bateman Community Living, LLC d.b.a. TRIO Community Meals is the City’s current
provider and has been the meal provider for the City of Arcadia for the past three years,
with their contract expiring on June 30.

DISCUSSION
On April 7, 2023, the City of Arcadia mailed an RFP to 12 potential foodservice vendors
for the daily Senior Nutrition Program at the Arcadia Community Center. The City also
posted notices at the Arcadia Public Library, City Clerk’s Office, and the Arcadia Council
Chambers, April 13 through April 25, 2023.
The City received two qualified bids from TRIO Community Meals and Everytable, and
one response from Compass One Healthcare indicating the inability to respond to the
RFP. The TRIO Community Meals proposal was $5.25 per meal and the Everytable
proposal was $7.00 per meal. The recommended vendor is TRIO Community Meals,
which is based in Azusa, California. Trio Community Meals currently serves 1.3 million
senior meals per week in numerous local senior meal sites and is well equipped to meet
the needs of the City of Arcadia. Trio Community Meals is the City’s current provider, the
current cost per meal is $4.68 for FY 2022-23.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”), and it can be seen with certainty that it will have no impact on the
environment. Thus, this matter is exempt under CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fee charged for seniors for lunch is $2.00 per meal, while the cost of purchasing the
meals from the vendor will be $5.25. Overall, the City provides approximately 19,750
meals per year. The $3.25 difference is offset by Community Development Block Grant
(“CDBG”) Funds and the General Fund.
CDBG Funding $34,400
General Fund $33,800
Revenue minus 10% loss $35,500
Total Amount for Senior Meals $103,700
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council determine that this action is exempt under the
California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); and approve, authorize and direct the City
Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with TRIO Community Meals to
provide the senior meals program for FY 2023-24 in an amount not to exceed $103,700,
with the option for two, (1) one-year renewal periods thereafter, at the City’s discretion.

agents free and harmless from any claims, liabilities, costs, penalties or interest arising out of any
failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws. It shall be mandatory upon
the Consultant and all sub consultants to comply with all California Labor Code provisions, which
include but are not limited to prevailing wages (Labor Code Sections 1771, 1774 and 1775),

or “maintenance” project and if the total compensation is $15,000 or more for maintenance or
$25,000 or more for construction, alteration, demolition, installation, or repair, then pursuant to
Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, the Consultant and all sub consultants performing such
services must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. Consultant shall maintain
registration for the duration of the Project and require the same of any sub consultants, as
applicable. This Project may also be subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the
Department of Industrial Relations. It shall be Consultant’s sole responsibility to comply with all
applicable registration and labor compliance requirements.
c. This Agreement may also be subject to compliance monitoring and
enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. It shall be Consultant’s sole responsibility
to comply with all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements. Any stop orders
issued by the Department of Industrial Relations against Consultant or any subcontractor that
affect Consultant’s performance of services, including any delay, shall be Consultant’s sole
responsibility. Any delay arising out of or resulting from such stop orders shall be considered
Consultant caused delay and shall not be compensable by the City. Consultant shall defend,
indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from
any claim or liability arising out of stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations
against Consultant or any subcontractor.

the same.

specifications, written reports and other documents produced or developed for that portion of the
work completed and/or being abandoned. City shall pay Consultant the reasonable value of
services rendered for any portion of the work completed prior to termination. If said termination
occurs prior to completion of any task for the Project for which a payment request has not been
received, the charge for services performed during such task shall be the reasonable value of
such services, based on an amount mutually agreed to by City and Consultant of the portion of
such task completed but not paid prior to said termination. City shall not be liable for any costs
other than the charges or portions thereof which are specified herein. Consultant shall not be
