Specific Explanation:
The Director of the Fleet Management Department (FMD) and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve spending authority for the purchase of three (3) animal enforcement officer trucks in the total amount of $297,013.02 from Chastang Enterprises Houston LLC, dba Chastang Ford through Texas Local Purchasing Cooperative (Buy Board) for the Administration and Regulatory Affairs Department (ARA).
These animal enforcement officer trucks will be used by the Department’s Bureau of Animal Regulation and Care (BARC) to transport animals safely and comfortably from the point of pick-up to the designated City facility.
