Consideration of the Third Renewal Notice for the Interlocal Agreement between Tarrant County and the City of Fort
Worth for the Provision of Rabies Control Services in the Unincorporated Areas of Tarrant County
*** CONSENT AGENDA ***
COMMISSIONERS COURT ACTION REQUESTED
It is requested that the Commissioners Court consider the Third Renewal Notice for the Interlocal Agreement (ILA) between
Tarrant County and the City of Fort Worth for the provision of rabies control services in the unincorporated areas of Tarrant
County.
BACKGROUND
Chapter 826 of the Texas Health and Safety Code, also known as the Rabies Control Act of 1981, requires the administration of
a rabies control program by local governments. Tarrant County has historically contracted with the City of Fort Worth to
conduct rabies control services in the unincorporated areas of Tarrant County.
On September 5, 2023, the Commissioners Court, through Court Order #141636, approved the current ILA with the City of
Fort Worth for the provision of rabies control services. The term of the ILA is for one (1) year, ending on September 30, 2024,
with an annual not -to -exceed amount of $148,556.00. In addition, the ILA allows for up to four (4) additional one-year terms.
For each renewal year, the total not -to -exceed amount will increase by three percent (3%).
On June 18, 2024, the Commissioners Court, through Court Order #143332, approved the First Amendment to the ILA with
the City of Fort Worth, increasing the annual maximum number of animals impounded from 300 to 400 and increasing the
annual amount not to exceed to $198,088.00 for the additional 100 animals.
On September 17, 2024, the Commissioners Court, through Court Order #143905, approved the First Contract Renewal Notice
with the City of Fort Worth, extending the term through September 30, 2025, and increasing the cost of services by three
percent (3%) to an annual not -to -exceed amount of $204,032.04 in accordance with terms of the original agreement.
On September 16, 2025, the Commissioners Court, through Court Order # 145945, approved the Second Amendment and
Second Contract Renewal Notice with the City of Fort Worth. The Second Amendment reduced the annual maximum number
of animals impounded from 400 to 300 and reduced the annual amount not to exceed to $157,614.00. The renewal extended
the ILA for the term of October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026.
The proposed Contract Renewal Notice will exercise the third renewal option and extend the ILA for the term of October 1,
2026, through September 30, 2027. Fees will increase by three percent (3%), resulting in an annual amount not to exceed
$162,342.00. All other terms and conditions of the ILA will remain unchanged.
Following this renewal, one (1) additional one (1) year renewal will remain available under the ILA.
The District Attorney's Office has approved this ILA as to form.
FISCAL IMPACT
All associated costs will be paid from fund T0400-2027.
