Notice of Emergency Procurement for Additions to the Sussex County Animal Shelter

This procurement was designated as an emergency pursuant to Virginia Code § 2.2- 4303(F) because the County’s existing Animal Shelter does not provide for safe social distancing practices by staff and patrons. Social distancing has been recommended by the Center for Disease Control and required by the Virginia Department of Labor and Industry to help stop the spread of the virus. Outdoor dog runs and a separate room just for cats will be added to the Animal Shelter. These additions will allow the Animal Shelter to operate while ensuring staff and patrons are properly distanced while viewing and taking care of the animals.
