Mayor and Council Members
FROM:
Rachel Molina, City Manager
BY:
Melinda Sayre, Deputy City Manager/City Clerk
SUBJECT:
TLC Animal Removal Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to approve an amendment to the existing contract with TLC Animal Removal Services in the amount of $36,000, for a total not-to-exceed revised amount of $177,000 over the total 5 years and to approve a one-year contract extension for animal disposal services.
BACKGROUND
In June 2021, the City issued a formal solicitation for Animal Removal Services. Following a competitive bidding process, the contract was awarded on June 16, 2021, to TLC Animal Removal Services as the lowest responsive bidder. On September 8, 2021, the City entered into an agreement with TLC Animal Removal Services to provide weekly collection and transportation of deceased animals from designated locations. The service ensures timely, safe, and respectful removal in accordance with health and safety standards.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The current contract with TLC Animal Removal Services expires June 30, 2025. TLC has continuously provided a dependable source for animal disposal with the City for a reasonable cost. Additionally, TLC has agreed to hold the current contract pricing for one more year.
