The City of Salina, Kansas is seeking a qualified vendor to assume full operation of its municipal animal shelter, including intake, care, medical treatment, adoptions, returns, euthanasia, licensing, and enforcement of animal‑control ordinances. The vendor will manage a budget of roughly $860 k–$915 k annually, handle a partial field‑services budget (≈ 50 % of total), and must comply with specific city mandates such as housing “pit‑bull‑type” dogs on‑site and prohibiting their adoption within city limits. The contract will be awarded after the City Commission’s earliest review on September 28 2026, with proposals due September 10 2026. • Operate the shelter on a day‑to‑day basis, maintaining intake/outcome records and adhering to city fee schedules. • Enforce city ordinances, including DNA‑testing and housing requirements for pit‑bull‑type dogs; no adoption of these dogs within city limits. • Provide staffing for shelter and field services (approximately 50 % of the overall budget) while four animal‑control officers and their supervisor will be removed from the shelter staff roster. • Manage existing facilities and equipment (all remain on‑site except animal‑control gear) and negotiate a custom lease agreement with the city. • Utilize historic intake/outcome data (2019‑2026) and utility cost information supplied by the city for performance benchmarking.
