Executive Summary
The Director of Food and Nutrition Services, on behalf of the Superintendent of Schools, hereby requests the Board approval for the piggyback of Sourcewell Cooperative, Contract No. 0181325: Automobiles, SUV’s Vans and Light Trucks with Related Equipment and Accessories, awarded to National Auto Fleet Group (NAFG)/Alan Jay Automotive Group for an estimated annual expenditure of $135,327.00. This request is for the purchase of three vehicles for the Food and Nutrition Department. The request for these vehicles is necessary to support efficient, safe and sanitary operations of the school food service program. These vehicles will primarily be used to transport food, supplies and related food service materials to the schools of the Hernando County School District along with Charter Schools. These vehicles will also be utilized during the Food and Nutrition’s Summer Feeding Program. Our current vehicles are becoming unreliable which creates a risk for food service interruptions and delays in meals provided to our students.
Alan Jay Automotive is an authorized subsidiary of the NAFG for purchases in the state of Florida.
HCSB Bid No. 27-070-12 PB has been assigned for internal tracking purposes, and the Bid Contract Period 10/20/2026 through 11/13/2029.

Financial Impact
See attached budget sheet.
If expenditure is not currently budgeted, this will serve as the budget amendment when Board approved. If the agenda item includes the purchase of goods or services, the funds requested are an anticipated amount and may fluctuate depending on such factors as current market conditions, product availability, additional funding sources, and the needs of the District. Should the actual cost exceed the anticipated amount, the Board approves the additional cost, after review by the superintendent, but not in excess of the funds available in the site’s approved annual budget.
