SUMMARY
DATE: November 2, 2021
TO: Kent Cagle, City Manager
FROM: Joseph W. Brown, Executive Director of Recreation Services
SUBJECT: Awarding RFP 21-35 for Veterinary Services
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The City of Killeen created RFP 21-35 seeking proposals from qualified veterinarians to provide veterinary services that include spay and neuter surgery. Recreation Services (RS) advertised RFP 21-35 for contracted veterinary services for the Killeen Animal Services (KAS) department. KAS intakes on a 5-year average, roughly 3,661 animals annually. On average, 1,928 of these animals are adopted and need sterilization (Our paramount goal here is to make these sterilizations prior to adoption). In FY 20-21 KAS was able to spay and neuter 762 animals before adoption. With this agreement, KAS will be able to sterilize nearly 1,300 animals. It is the goal of KAS to increase this number each year based on the adopted budget, coupled with our ability to apply for and receive the Petco grant. KAS received $300,000 in Petco monies that will be distributed over 3 years at increments of $100,000. The initial term of the agreement will be a one (1) year term with up to four (4) one-year renewals. Any price increases when renewing the agreement must be submitted to RS one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to renewal.
RS advertised RFP 21-35 (Veterinary Services) on July 11th and July 18th, 2021. We received responses from Texas Humane Heroes and El Centro Pet Medical Center.
The rating scale was as follows:
? Cost of Services - Maximum 30 points
? Capacity to Deliver Services - Maximum 30 points
