SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION AWARDING A THREE-YEAR ANIMAL SERVICES CONTRACT
RELATING TO THE OPERATION OF THE ANIMAL SHELTER AND
ENFORCEMENT OF LOCAL ORDINANCES TO ANIMAL WELFARE AND
PROTECTION SOCIETY D/B/A PAWS FOR LIFE, A COLORADO NON-PROFIT
CORPORATION
SUMMARY:
Attached is a Resolution awarding a three-year animal services contract to Animal Welfare and
Protection Society d/b/a Paws for Life, a Colorado non-profit corporation (“PAWS”).
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Not applicable to this Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
On January 11, 2016, by Ordinance No. 8963, the City Council approved a three-year animal
services contract with the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region (“HSPPR”). Said contract
is due to expire on December 31, 2018.
On February 26, 2018, by Ordinance No. 9243, the City Council adopted the Pueblo Animal
Protection Act (“PAPA”) which added requirements regarding the operation of the animal shelter.
PAPA has not been adopted by the Board of County Commissioners of Pueblo County.
On September 19, 2018, the Pueblo County Purchasing Department, in collaboration with the City
of Pueblo issued a Request for Proposals No. 18-26 for the animal shelter and/or animal control
services (“RFP”). Bidders were instructed to submit two (2) proposals, as follows:
Without PAPA being applicable
With PAPA being applicable
Three proposals were received by the October 19, 2018 RFP submission deadline. The
proposals were evaluated by a five-member evaluation committee consisting of two members
selected by City Council; two members selected by the Pueblo Board of County Commissioners
and one member selected jointly by the City Council and Pueblo Board of County Commissioners.
Each proposal was independently scored based upon four (4) criteria identified in the RFP. Based
upon the average scores of the evaluation committee, PAWS was rated first and HSPPR second.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Of the three proposals reviewed by the evaluation committee, only those submitted by PAWS and
HSPPR provided for both animal shelter and animal control services.
HSPPR
Without PAPA $2,011,228.00
With PAPA $2,242,147.00
PAWS
Without PAPA $1,702,450.00
With PAPA $1,702,450.00
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The evaluation committee recommends that the three-year animal services contract be awarded
to PAWS.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
City staff and County staff have collaborated in the issuance and evaluation of proposals.
ALTERNATIVES:
If this Resolution is not approved, the current animal services contract will expire on December
31, 2018 without a new contractor being selected.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Resolution.
