The Santa Ana Zoo at Prentice Park houses 232 animals in its collection.
Each of the 74 different species has special dietary needs. Animal food
required includes alfalfa, bale mix, bird food, monkey food, and additional
items for the various animals. The contract for animal food is designed to
provide quality products at significant savings based on quantity pricing.
On July 16, 2007, the City Council awarded a contract to Midway City Feed
Company for a one-year period with provision for three, one-year renewals.
The vendor has agreed to renew the contract i however, the vendor has
requested an eight percent increase due to rising transportation costs.
Staff verified that the increase is consistent with the market and the
vendor continues to offer competitive pricing. Staff recommends the first
renewal of the contract.
