Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on approving Agreement #202369 between PetHub, Inc. and Williamson County for 1,500 digital pet ID tags in the amount of $2,470.00, and authorizing execution of the agreement.

Approval of this item will support the operations of the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter. Digital pet ID tags contain owner's information and the pet's health and vaccination data in a database and also on a QR code on the tag.  The tag functions like a microchip, but makes reuniting a lost pet easier as most people have a smartphone that can read a QR code, but very few have a microchip reader.  Tags will be used for all animals that are taken in at the shelter and for pets that are adopted out.  Tags are also available for purchase for all Williamson County residents.  The minimum order is for fifteen hundred (1,500) custom digital license tags powered by PetHub at $1.48 per tag for a total of $2,200.00.  Also included in the purchase is an initial tag design fee of $250.00.  Total of this order is $2,470.00.  Legal, contract audit, and budget have reviewed this purchase.  This expenditure will be charged to 01.0545.0545.004968.  Department contact is Linda Gunter.
