Summary
Sedgwick County approved proposals from Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Hospital of Wichita (VESH) and Julianne Evans, DVM (Arc Valley Animal Hospital) for two‑year on‑call veterinary services with three one‑year renewal options; staff said SCAC delivered more than 150 animals to contracted clinics in 2024 and noted the Kansas three‑day hold requirement.
The Board approved proposals from Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Hospital of Wichita (doing business as VESH) and Julianne Evans, DVM (dba Arc Valley Animal Hospital) to provide on‑call veterinary services for Sedgwick County Animal Care (SCAC) for a two‑year period with three one‑year renewal options.
Jamie O'Loughlin of the Health Department said an evaluation committee unanimously recommended both proposals after scoring qualifications, scope of work, services and availability, service fee estimates and completeness of proposals. O'Loughlin noted SCAC must observe the Kansas state‑mandated three‑day hold period "as referenced in KSA 4 7 dash 17 10," and that in 2024 SCAC delivered more than 150 animals to contracted veterinary clinics.
The motion to accept the proposals was moved, seconded and approved by roll call.
