What it means
The consultant will be responsible for finding land, meeting with stakeholders, defining potential options for a collaborative or stand-alone pet resource center and defining facility requirements. Broaddus & Associates Inc. will then present the options to the court for final review and project implementation, according to agenda documents.
Some background
Hays County and Austin Pets Alive! have been working together to build a pet resource center since 2023. Final recommendations for a possible brick-and-mortar pet resource center were presented to the court in March; the center has since remained a virtual resource for pet owners in Hays County.
The timeline
The work is anticipated to be completed within six months of commencement date. If Broaddus & Associates Inc. is unable to complete the work dictated by the contract, then they will need to request an extension, according to the agreement.
