What public records show for food service in Alexandria

  1. Past emergency

    Severe Winter Storm And Snowstorm (2016)

    FEMA declared major disaster DR-4262, severe winter storm and snowstorm, on March 7, 2016 for the City of Alexandria, for an incident that began January 22, 2016. It is one of 10 major disaster declarations covering the city since 2000. Heavy snow closes roads and can collapse roofs or cut power to institutional kitchens. An emergency kitchen trailer and a refrigerated trailer can keep meals going while a permanent kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.

  2. Major construction

    Road construction in Alexandria

    VDOT's Six-Year Improvement Program lists "RTE 7 - Intersection Improvements At Beauregard, Phase II" on King Street in the City of Alexandria at an estimated $10.0 million. The project is advertised for construction bids, with work listed to begin in June 2026. Work zones like this can change how a truck reaches a site, so we check active VDOT work before planning a delivery. A long public project can also bring crews to the area, and a caterer or facility feeding them could add a mobile kitchen trailer for the duration.

  3. Major renovation

    Rebuilding local roads and bridges

    VDOT's Six-Year Improvement Program lists "RTE 1 South Median Refuge Island" on Richmond Highway in the City of Alexandria at an estimated $2.9 million. The project is under construction, with completion listed for January 2027. Reconstruction like this keeps the route open for heavy deliveries. Kitchen renovations follow the same pattern: when a school, hospital, or care-home kitchen in Alexandria is rebuilt, a temporary kitchen on site covers meal service until the work is done.

  4. Emergency equipment access

    Getting equipment to Alexandria

    Statewide emergency operations are coordinated from the Virginia Emergency Operations Center (VEOC) at 7700 Midlothian Turnpike, North Chesterfield, VA 23235; Alexandria lies about 94 miles north of it in a straight line. Locally, the City of Alexandria's emergency management office leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Alexandria is in VDOT's Northern Virginia District, and we plan routes around its active work zones, as we do for nearby Arlington County and Falls Church. We confirm the route, gate access, and placement area with your team before dispatch.

  5. Local rental costs

    Kitchen trailer rental costs in Alexandria

    Starting monthly rates on our current price list, which applies to Alexandria and every other Virginia location: mobile kitchen trailers $4,995 / month, dishwashing trailers $4,995 / month, and refrigerated trailers $1,895 / month. Your quote adds delivery, setup, and pickup for your site. See the full price reference.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project

Emergency plan: a hospital kitchen in Alexandria

A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Alexandria's own public records and our current price list. It describes what a facility like this could do, not a job we have done.

  1. 1. Situation

    Suppose a hospital kitchen in Alexandria loses power and road access under heavy snow in an event like the one behind FEMA's DR-4262 (severe winter storm and snowstorm, declared March 7, 2016). Meals still have to go out while the kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.
  2. 2. Trailer setup

    A 40ft Bulk Kitchen, 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer, and 40ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4), placed beside the building so staff can keep cooking, washing, and storing food on site.
  3. 3. Site and delivery

    VDOT lists "RTE 7 - Intersection Improvements At Beauregard, Phase II" on King Street as advertised, so the delivery plan would check that work zone and pick a truck route around it. Plan on roughly 5 hours from parking to cooking for the kitchen and dishwashing trailers, about 1 hour for cold storage, and 4–6 hours more if a ramp is needed instead of stairs.
  4. 4. Timeline

    First call: confirm power, water, and drain options. Delivery follows once the route is set. The rental runs by the week, so it ends as soon as the permanent kitchen passes inspection.
  5. 5. Estimated rental cost

    40ft Bulk Kitchen $10,995 + 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer $6,995 + 40ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4) $3,995 = $21,985 per month on our starting price list for a one-month emergency rental. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
