Common use of Dimensions and Weights Clause in Contracts

Dimensions and Weights. Each serving slice of loaf bread and each serving unit of rolls shall be uniform in appearance and size. Weight of the product offered shall be equal to or greater than the minimum weights given below. Weights shall be evaluated by using the Nutrition Facts product information provided for the products bid. Bread, slice (Not 100% Whole Wheat) 22 grams per slice Bread, slice (100% Whole Wheat) 24 grams per slice Frankfurter and Hamburger Rolls 38 grams each roll Dinner Roll 30 grams each roll The State intends to use the information stated on the “FDA Nutrition Facts” label provided by the Contractor’s bakery on the bread products as required by the FDA to determine compliance. The weight for a slice of bread may be determined by dividing the total net weight by the number of servings and then by the number of slices for a serving, rounded to nearest tenth for the final result. For example, the slice weight for a loaf of bread with 794 grams total net weight, 28 servings per loaf and 1 slice per serving, would be calculated as follows: Slice weight = 794/28 = 28.357/1 = 28.357 = 28.4 grams If it becomes apparent that information in the “FDA Nutrition Facts” label furnished by a Contractor is incorrect, the State may use information from other sources or by other means to determine slice weight, unit weight, ingredients, etc., for products offered.
