Subject: Renewal of Humane Society Contract for FY23
The Humane Society for Greater Nashua Corporation (HSFN) has provided
shelter, pound, isolation, and quarantine services for the City of Nashua
and has provided these services for over 22 years.
Nashua Revised Ordinances section 93-7 states, “The Mayor, with the
assistance and cooperation of the Dog Officer, shall select a suitable
place of confinement for impounded animals and those held under suspicion
of rabies and after biting.” HSEFN has a proven record of providing
impoundment and quarantine services, has the facility space to
accommodate the needs of the City of Nashua’s Pound, and HSFN staff has
worked closely with City staff throughout the years to develop sound
policies and procedures to adequately provide efficient and effective
methods of handling impoundment and quarantine services.
The Division of Public Health and Community Services, Environmental
Health Department and the Nashua Police Department Animal Control Officer
work closely with HSFN and oversee the contract deliverables and
communications with HSEN.
The attached contract is effective July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023
in the amount of $99,081, to be paid in equal monthly installments.
Services include shelter for dogs, cats, rabbits and various other small
animals, adoption of stray animals, veterinary services for stray animals
surrendered to the HSFN, owner location of stray animals, quarantine of
unvaccinated dogs and cats which have bit a human or another animal, and
processing of animals found to be positive for rabies.
In accordance with § 5-84 A (4) Special Purchasing Procedures for Sole
Source Procurements, the Division of Public Health recommends that the
contract with HSFN located at 24 Ferry Road, Nashua, NH, be renewed for
an additional year.
