111 CMR 3.09 - Types of Facilities
(1)
For purposes of
111 CMR
3.00, the program shall license operation of up to
four types of facilities: wet stands, dry stands, cafeterias, and vending
machine operations.
(2)
(a) Wet stand means a vending facility which
serves coffee and/or soup and is not a cafeteria.
(b) Dry stand means a vending facility which
does not serve coffee and/or soup and is not a cafeteria.
(c) Cafeteria means a food-dispensing
facility capable of providing a broad variety of prepared foods (including hot
meals) and beverages, primarily through the use of a line where customers serve
themselves from displayed selections which facility may be fully automatic or
may provide limited waiter or waitress service and in any event shall provide
table or booth seating.
(d) Vending
machine operation means a vending facility consisting solely of one or more
vending machines .
(3)
Operation of cafeterias shall be governed by 111 CMR
3.09(3).
(a) Priority in the
operation of cafeterias by vendors on federal property shall be afforded when
the Secretary of the federal Department of Education determines, on an
individual basis, and after consultation with the appropriate property managing
department, agency, or instrumentality, that such operation can be provided at
a reasonable cost, with food of a high quality comparable to that currently
provided employees, whether by contract or otherwise. Such operation shall be
expected to provide maximum employment opportunities to vendors to the greatest
extent possible.
(b) In order to
establish the ability of vendors to operate a cafeteria in such a manner as to
provide food service at comparable cost and of comparable high quality as that
available from other providers of cafeteria services, the Commission shall be
invited to respond to solicitations for offers when a cafeteria contract is
contemplated by the appropriate property managing department, agency, or
instrumentality. Such solicitations for offers shall establish criteria under
which all responses will be judged. Such criteria may include sanitation
practices, personnel, staffing, menu pricing and portion sizes, menu variety,
budget and accounting practices. If the proposal received from the Commission
is judged to be within a competitive range and has been ranked among those
proposals which have a reasonable chance of being selected for final award, the
property managing department, agency, or instrumentality shall consult with the
Secretary as required under 111 CMR 3.09(3)(a).
(c) Notwithstanding the requirements of 111
CMR 3.09(3)(a) and (b), federal property managing departments, agencies, and
instrumentalities may afford priority in the operation of cafeterias by vendors
on federal property through direct negotiations with the Commission whenever
such department, agency, or instrumentality determines, on an individual basis,
that such operation can be provided at a reasonable cost, with food of a high
quality comparable to that currently provided employees: provided, however,
that the provisions of 111 CMR 3.09(3)(a) and (b) shall apply in the event that
the negotiations authorized by 111 CMR 3.09(3)(c) do not result in a
contract.
