TO: Mayor Richard C. Irvin
FROM: Anna Payton, Animal Control Manager
DATE: October 24, 2018
SUBJECT:
Ratification for payment and expenses for the remainder of 2018 to Patterson Veterinary Supply, Inc. for various medications and vaccines for the animals in the care of Animal Care and Control not to exceed $35,000.
PURPOSE:
For Council approval to pay Patterson Veterinary Supply, Inc. for medications and vaccines for the animals in care of Animal Care & Control.
BACKGROUND:
A large volume of vaccinations had been donated in 2016 and 2017 which greatly reduced the amount needed for this account number. This created an underestimation of cost for this line and thus an underestimation for budget. Historically this account number has been over $25,000. The primary vendor used for this account is Patterson Veterinary Supply, Inc.
To date, the city has paid $24,897.30 with anticipated costs for the remainder of the year.
DISCUSSION:
The 2018 budget for account 101-1845-440.61-26 (Supplies-General/Medications) was approved at $25,000 to fund various medications and vaccines. No bid/RFP was contemplated at the start of the year based on past funding mechanisms and Finance Staff agrees that a competitive bid to finish off the 2018 year is not advisable. A budget transfer has been completed to fund the remainder of 2018 expenses.
The 2019 Budget for account number 101-1845-440-61-26 has been requested at $35,000. The City will also be putting this account out to bid for 2019.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
This ratification and approval must be approved in order to ensure payment of invoices and continued care for the animals in the care of Animal Care and Control.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff request the ratification be forwarded to the Finance Committee for approval.
