RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Animal Services Department Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Richard Bachman, DVM, dba Shelter Medicine Support, a Sole Proprietor, effective May 1, 2016, increasing the payment limit by $200,000 to a new payment limit of $1,844,612 for continued veterinarian shelter services for the period of November 1, 2013 through October 31, 2016. (37% User Fees, 54% City Revenues, 9% County General Fund)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Projected FY 2015-2016 contract costs are $614,871.(37% User Fees, 54% City Revenues, 9% County General Fund)

BACKGROUND:

Shelter Medicine Support is responsible for providing all of the Animal Services Department's general veterinarian medical care, after hours urgent care and emergency care, as well as spay and neuter services for both public and shelter animals. The proposed amendment will add $200,000 to the contract for additional medical services provided by the contractor, necessitated by higher live release rates for healthy and adoptable animals.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to approve this amendment will result in the loss of critically required medical services for public spay and neuter services along with healthy and adoptable shelter animals.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
