The City of Salina is seeking a private vendor to assume full operation of its municipal animal shelter located at 329 N 2nd St. The scope includes intake, care, adoptions, euthanasia, licensing, permit issuance, boarding, cremation services, and compliance with city and state animal‑control regulations. The contract will encompass management of approximately 30‑40 staff members (administrative, animal‑care technicians, and animal‑control officers) and the transition of existing shelter assets (excluding animal‑control equipment). The City’s annual budget for shelter operations is between $860,000 and $915,000 (FY 2024‑2026), funded largely by license/permit fees and service fees. Field‑services officers will be removed from shelter duties, and the vendor must accommodate “pit‑bull‑looking” dogs per ordinance. No commercial lease will be used, and any signage changes require City approval. • Operate all shelter functions (intake, care, adoption, euthanasia, licensing, permits, boarding, cremation). • Manage existing municipal staff and transition budgeting (no prohibition on a transition budget). • Comply with Kansas animal‑control statutes, city ordinances, and NACA certification requirements for animal‑control officers. • Handle revenue from license/permit fees and service fees; utility costs (electricity total $26,824 for 15 months) will be reimbursed. • No pending litigation; vendor must adhere to City‑approved signage decals and cannot expect a standard commercial lease.
