Document Description
Food that is prepared in a separate kitchen is transported to NKSP Reception Center Retherm Kitchen for warming and serving. CDCR is planning to remodel and install additional equipment in the existing Reception Center Retherm Kitchen at NKSP. A remodel of the existing layout of the kitchen, along with the installation of an additional tray washing machine, will increase operational efficiencies and reduce the excessive number of repairs on the existing overburdened equipment, which must operate an average of 18 hours per day in order to complete food service cleaning tasks for approximately 4,400 inmates in the Reception Center at NKSP. Modifications to existing facilities include relocation of the pot and pan washer; installation of a new stainless steel table and sink with new industrial grade garbage disposal; installation of a new tray wash machine; and refurbishing the existing stainless steel table and sink with industrial grade garbage disposal.
