RE: Approval to increase PO 24-02274 by $10,000.00 to Zoetis, in an amount not to exceed $55,000.00, to provide required vaccine supplies to meet the need of Genesee County's animal population
recommendation
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Authorize and approve an increase to PO 24-02274 in the amount of $10,000.00 for the FY 24/25, to provide required vaccine supplies to meet the need of Genesee County's animal population.
BACKGROUND:
Genesee County Animal Control serves the public and stray population of animals in our county. To limit infectious carried diseases, Animal Control vaccinates each incoming animal with preventative vaccines, including but not limited to owned animals running at large, strays and Animal Control's annual vaccination clinic. Prevention is key and vaccinating assists in the overall health and welfare of Genesee County's increased animal population. Zoetis is our existing vendor that provides shelter pricing to meet our need at low costs per vaccine. With the increase in price per unit and the number of animals serviced this year, our need has exceeded our current budget.
