The City of Salina is seeking a qualified vendor to assume full operational responsibility for its municipal animal shelter and associated animal‑control field services. The vendor must manage daily shelter functions (intake, care, veterinary services, adoptions, euthanasia, record‑keeping), enforce local animal‑control ordinances (including pit‑bull‑looking dog restrictions), oversee a roster of non‑exempt and exempt staff, handle budgeting and financial reporting, and maintain compliance with city regulations and the Animal Control Advisory & Appeals Board. The contract will be funded by the city’s FY 2024‑2026 budget (~$860 k‑$915 k annually) plus fee‑based revenues (licensing, permits, boarding, cremation). • Operate the shelter facility, including animal care, veterinary support, quarantine, and cremation services. • Perform municipal animal‑control duties: capture, impound, licensing, investigations, and enforcement of hazardous‑dog rules. • Staff and manage positions ranging from administrative assistants to animal‑control officers and shelter managers, adhering to city compensation guidelines. • Administer the city’s fee schedule, collect licensing/permit fees, and report utility costs (electricity ~$26.8 k annually). • Provide a transition plan, data deliveries (average daily animal counts, intake/outcome records), and cooperate with the Animal Control Advisory & Appeals Board.
