What public records show for food service in Arlington County

  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 Arlington County, for an incident that began January 22, 2016. It is one of 11 major disaster declarations covering the county 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 Arlington County

    VDOT's Six-Year Improvement Program lists "Arlington Blvd Safety Improvements" on Arlington Blvd in Arlington County at an estimated $32.8 million. The project is scheduled, with construction listed to begin in June 2028. 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 "Mount Vernon Avenue Bridge Replacement" on S. Arlington Ridge Rd in Arlington County at an estimated $17.1 million. The project is under construction, with completion listed for October 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 Arlington County is rebuilt, a temporary kitchen on site covers meal service until the work is done.

  4. Emergency equipment access

    Getting equipment to Arlington County

    Statewide emergency operations are coordinated from the Virginia Emergency Operations Center (VEOC) at 7700 Midlothian Turnpike, North Chesterfield, VA 23235; Arlington County lies about 97 miles north of it in a straight line. Locally, Arlington County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Arlington County is in VDOT's Northern Virginia District, and we plan routes around its active work zones, as we do for nearby Falls Church and Alexandria. We confirm the route, gate access, and placement area with your team before dispatch.

  5. Local rental costs

    Kitchen trailer rental costs in Arlington County

    Starting monthly rates on our current price list, which applies to Arlington County 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 nursing and rehabilitation center in Arlington County

A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Arlington County'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

    Picture the next event on the scale of FEMA's DR-4262 (severe winter storm and snowstorm, declared March 7, 2016): a nursing and rehabilitation center in Arlington County loses power and road access under heavy snow, and the people it feeds still need their meals.
  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 "Arlington Blvd Safety Improvements" on Arlington Blvd as activity dates set - rw started, so the delivery plan would check that work zone and pick a truck route around it. On arrival, the refrigerated unit is cold-ready in about an hour, and the kitchen and dish trailers take about 5 hours to connect and start up.
  4. 4. Timeline

    Within the first day, the facility shares its meal counts and site photos. Equipment ships once placement is confirmed, and the weekly rental continues until the building kitchen reopens.
  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.
