HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 02032015 - C.45RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, on behalf of the Animal Services Department, to
execute a purchase order with La Boit Specialty Vehicles in an amount not to exceed $170,000.00, to procure a
mobile adoption vehicle, per Bid No. 1411-110.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Cost is to be charged directly to the Animal Services Department and will be 100% funded by donations to the
Animal Services Department. No additional County costs are anticipated under this Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
A modern mobile adoption vehicle is long overdue. It will enhance our exposure at our weekly mobile adoption
events, make for a great marketing tool, and most importantly improve our efforts to place animals into loving
homes. The old adoption van is noisy and uncomfortable for animals and very unsettling for many dogs during
transport. A new adoption van will be quiet and comfortable for the animals during transport. It will afford us the
opportunity for the first time to bring cats to mobile adoption events. It has viewing areas that are comfortable not just
for the animals, but for the public as well.
