ADDITION TO CASE #14 PET CLINIC BID Further Background: I received one bid for the pet clinic and that was from AMVET of Elk River. AMVET bid the prices the same as last year. They were awarded the bid last year and conducted a very well- organized clinic, plus Dr. Gilgenbach and his staff were a pleasure to work with. Staff is planning to add a small fee to the bid prices as we have done in the past couple of years to help defray some of the administrative costs. Last year the bid prices for the vaccinations were $3 for rabies, $9 for DHLP-P and $6 for Pan RC-C-P. With the City tacking on a small fee, the shots were $5, $10 and $8. I contacted the Cities of Andover, Anoka, Elk River and Ham Lake to inquire about their pet clinic prices. They are as follows: Anoka: $6.50 for rabies, $I2,50 for DHLP-P and $7.50 for Pan RC~C-P; Elk River: $8 for rabies, $8 for DHLP-P and $8 for Pan RC-C-P; Ham Lake: $5 for rabies, $10 for DHI,P-P and $10 for Pan RC-C-P; Andover is not hosting a pet clinic this year. Staff is recommending adding $3 to the rabies vaccination, making it $6, $1 to the DHLP~P, for a total of $10 and $2 to the Pan RC-C-P making that vaccination $8. The only difference from last year would be the cost of the rabies shot, At $6 for the rabies vaccination, Ramsey would still be cheaper than Anoka by 50¢ and Elk River by $2, but would be higher than Ham Lake by $1. The fee we would charge for the DHLP-P would be $2.50 less than Anoka, $2 higher than Elk River and the same as Ham Lake. The proposed fee for the Pan RC-C-P would be the 50¢ higher than Anoka, the same as Elk River and $2 less than Ham Lake. Council Action: Motion that Council approve the suggested rates.
