Analysis

Microchips provide a form of identification and ownership of an animal.  Per city ordinance, all animals must be microchipped before leaving Prairie Paws.  The price agreement with Found Animals Foundation, Inc. will be utilized to purchase microchips and microchip scanners.

 

Notice of bid #15135 was viewed by 19 vendors. There were no Grand Prairie vendors available.   Seven bids were received and reviewed.  Found Animals Foundation, Inc. meets specifications and is recommended for award.
