SUBJECT
Title
Authorize a three-year master agreement for the purchase of animal bedding for the Police Department - S-4 Quality Shavings, LLC, only bidder - Estimated amount of $174,289.20 - Financing: General Fund
Body
BACKGROUND
This action does not encumber funds; the purpose of a master agreement is to establish firm pricing for goods, for a specific term, which are ordered on an as needed basis according to annual budgetary appropriations. The estimated amount is intended as guidance rather than a cap on spending under the agreement, so that actual need combined with the amount budgeted will determine the amount spent under this agreement.
This master agreement will provide for animal bedding for the Police Department. The Dallas Police Mounted Squad has fourteen horses which are stabled inside Fair Park when not on patrol. Shavings are used daily in each of the stalls for bedding for the horses and to aid in the absorbance of animal waste. These stalls are cleaned daily to remove animal waste to maintain a healthy living environment for the horses.
As part of the solicitation process and in an effort to increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services used its procurement system to send out email notifications to vendors registered under relevant commodity codes. To further increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services uses historical solicitation information, the Internet, and vendor contact information obtained from user departments to contact additional vendors.
