Description

The City of Lake City is soliciting proposals from qualified, licensed organizations for one, two, or all three service categories: animal impoundment; animal enforcement; and animal welfare with licensing administration. The City may award separate contracts by category or a single contract covering multiple categories. Impoundment services include animal intake, housing, feeding, veterinary care, vaccinations, spay/neuter, rabies quarantine, adoption and placement, euthanasia, transport, owner surrender processing, sanitation, disease control, records, and monthly reporting. Enforcement services include complaint response, ordinance and Florida Statutes enforcement, stray and aggressive-animal response, bite investigations, rabies reporting, animal capture, trap deployment and retrieval, court appearances, proactive patrols, 24/7 emergency response, and monthly reporting. Animal Control Officers must meet applicable training and certification requirements, provide certification before performing ACO duties, carry City-issued identification, and pass Level 2 background checks. Animal welfare and licensing administration services include public education, community outreach, coordination with rescue and foster organizations, return-to-owner programs, microchipping, welfare checks, vaccination services, issuance and maintenance of animal licenses, fee collection, licensing records and reports, and coordination with enforcement staff. Proposers must submit separate pricing for each category pursued, a statement of qualifications, a Table of Contents, and required certifications and affidavits. Proposals are limited to 25 pages, with an optional three-page letter of interest or executive summary. Evaluation considers technical approach, experience and qualifications, cost, reporting and compliance capability, and references.
