Show : Controversy Over Low Bid For Senior Citizen Meals if f? "Meals on Wheels" will be awarded to the lowest bidder, ARA Food Services Ser-vices Co., if they meet the qualifications. qualifica-tions. Despite strong objections from about 255 senior citizens and aging program directors, Mountainlands Association Asso-ciation of Governments, which includes county commissioners from Utah, Wasatch and Summit counties, received two bids, one from Utah County for $2.12 per meal and ARA for $1 .98. "This decision was the most economical, eco-nomical, cost-effective for the county," said Commissioner Jerry Bradshaw, who seconded a motion by Commissioner Commis-sioner Kenneth Pinegar to accept the lowest bidder. Before the meeting started, an unidentified un-identified senior citizen said to the crowd, "It's cost us about $200 for gas to all get here tonight to try to correct a mistake the government's trying to make." Michael S. Water, regional sales director for ARA, said they provided food services for the Lake Placid Winter Olympics and, in Utah, serve Utah State Hospital, "Meals on Wheels" in Salt Lake City, and Holy Cross Hospital. Hos-pital. . Defending ARA against accusations about poor service in Salt Lake City, Waters said, "If word were to get out our service was not good, it would hurt our reputation, so we are careful to always give good service." A.I. Tippetts, director of the senior citizen centers in Utah County, said he questioned the advisability of transferring trans-ferring the present program over to a commercial, private business. "It is not using wisdom to do that." Glen Zimmerman, representing the senior citizens' viewpoint of maintaining maintain-ing the present system with the county instead of going with a private firm where they do not know for sure what type of service they will get, said, "There are two things in consideration -cost and service." In response to allegations of poor service and that meals are cold when they arrive, Waters cited some statistics compiled by Salt Lake County that 99 percent of those questions said the drivers were friendly and 83 percent said the meals were always warm when they arrived. A senior citizen representative from American Fork cited a news story recently that quoted Lyman as saying the commissioners are concerned for the people. He then commented, if they really are concerned for the people, "shouldn't the people have a chance to vote on this and have their views considered? " Bradshaw noted that the county and MAG are committed to correcting any wrongs should ARA not live up to its contract. When asked about threats by senior citizens to boycott the program, he said, "I don't think they will," and added, they have no grounds for legal action as they have also threatened.
