Report
Summary
The City lacks a suitable facility for sheltering animals and does not employ trained personnel who can provide appropriate veterinary care and other necessary services to animals held in protective custody. The non-competitive provision is necessary because the AHS is the only animal care organization in the Phoenix Metropolitan area that has the facilities and staff that can provide appropriate care and other necessary services to animals.
Contract Term
This agreement shall commence on July 1, 2022, and the term will be for five years.
Financial Impact
The estimated expenditure for FY 2022-23 shall not exceed $833,000. The aggregate amount of the five-year contract shall not exceed $5,085,548.
