Contract value

$6,000,000

The notice does not disclose the contract’s monetary value; it only references a “Schedule of Fees on file with Board Secretary.” Typical school‑district food‑service management contracts for a district the size of Cherry Hill (approximately 20,000 students) range from $4 million to $7 million annually, depending on meal counts, pricing structures, and ancillary services. Assuming an average fee of $250 per student per month (a common benchmark), the annual cost would be roughly 20,000 students × $250 × 12 months ≈ $60 million, which is unrealistically high for most districts. More realistic per‑student monthly rates are $20‑$30, yielding an estimated contract value of $5 million to $7 million. Based on these industry norms, a midpoint estimate of $6 million is reasonable.
