RECOMMENDATION(S):
RATIFY the Animal Services Director's execution of a contract with Docupet Corp. in an amount not to exceed $200,000 to process Department animal licenses throughout the County for the period of January 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This contract is funded by Animal Services licensing revenue. (100% General Fund)
BACKGROUND:
The Animal Services Department manages the County's mandated animal licensing ordinance (416-6.002) and revenues for dogs and cats. Historically, the Department’s clerical unit has supported the Department by processing and managing both its record-keeping and revenue system. Due to the complexity of licensing and staffing demands, the Department began contracting out for services in 2018. In March 2022, the Department publicized a Request for Proposals (RFP) for licensing services and selected Docupet Corp. in January, 2023 to increase the Department's service capacity for the public.
