Description
The City of Harlingen Health Department seeks qualified veterinary service providers to perform spay and neuter surgeries on cats and dogs housed at the municipal animal shelter and for the public via a voucher system. Providers will join a pool; referrals are assigned at the City’s discretion based on capacity, cost, and other factors. Services include pre‑operative evaluation, anesthesia, surgery, post‑operative care, record‑keeping, and itemized invoicing. The contract is initially for one year with the possibility of up to three additional one‑year extensions. Vendors must submit a fee schedule, meet Texas veterinary licensure requirements, carry specified insurance, and provide a 5 % proposal bond.
• Perform spay/neuter procedures (including anesthesia, supplies, and post‑op care) for cats and dogs.
• Maintain complete medical records and provide detailed invoices per animal.
• Participate in a competitive referral pool; no guarantee of volume, and performance may affect future referrals.
• Meet insurance, bonding, and documentation requirements; submit a fee schedule rather than a fixed price.
