Alternate Pricing, Exhibit E: <br /> <br /> Heartworm test kits for dogs <br /> Feline Combo test for cats <br /> Heartworm prevention such as lverhart Plus or approved equal <br /> Medication for treatment of heartworms <br /> <br />The only bid received was from Deer Park Animal Hospital, who is our current vendor. <br />In FY 2021, we spent $45,627.44 on treatment and medication with the vendor. In <br />comparing the original bid from 2019 to the attached bid, most of the medication pricing <br />has gone down, but there is a slight increase in labor for the Veterinarian and Veterinary <br />Technician. In 2019, Staff looked into taking animals to a local veterinarian without a <br />contract for treatment, but there was no single provider that could handle the volume of <br />animals and staff hours for transportation and assistance made this option cost <br />prohibitive. <br /> <br />The term of the contract for Veterinary Services is a one-year term, with three (3) <br />additional one-year period extensions. The La Porte Police Department, requests <br />acceptance of Bid #22002 from Deer Park Animal Hospital, with yearly expenditures <br />for the contract terms not-to-exceed the annual budget for veterinary services and <br />authorize expenditures up to $55,000. <br /> <br /> <br />ACTION REQUIRED BY CITY COUNCIL <br />Approval of Bid #22002 and purchases made under the contract with Deer Park <br />Animal Hospital and authorizing expenditure up to $55,000.00. <br /> <br />Approved for the City Council meeting agenda <br /> <br />Corby D.
