AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to award bid and enter into an agreement with
The Florida Keys Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Inc. for operation of
the Key West, Big Pine Key and Marathon Animal Shelters in the amount of $539,000 per
year; and approval of Resolution transferring funds through end of fiscal year.
ITEM BACKGROUND: On March 26, 2002, sealed bids were opened. Stand Up for
Animals bid $485,000 per year and the Florida Keys SPCA bid $539,000. Upon review of
the bids and bid criteria, and considering staff's experience in operating animals shelters,
staff is recommending the current contractor, the Florida Keys SPCA. The low bidder is
inexperienced in operating animals shelters, and their proposed budget does not reflect
the reosonable cost of operating and conducting the required services; therefore, the
higher bidder, the Florida Keys SPCA, is the conforming bidder. (See attached analysis).
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: On June 21, 2001, the Board approved the 3rd
and final contract with the Florida Keys SPCA, which expires on June 30,2002.
