2027 01 Addendum 1..pdf

This is an addendum to Request for Proposal #2027-01 for Security Services issued by Central Connecticut State University's Purchasing Department, dated August 3, 2026. The addendum modifies the original RFP regarding uniformed, unarmed security guard services for campus events held at CCSU's New Britain campus on an as-needed basis. The services cover student dances, concerts, athletic games, guest receptions, graduate commencements, and other university-sponsored functions. The addendum increases the maximum anticipated event attendance from 4,000 to 5,500 people and revises language to state that required qualifications are "not limited to" specified criteria. The contract term runs from execution through August 30, 2028, with CCSU retaining the right to renew for three additional one-year periods contingent on contractor consent. Quotations were due August 26, 2026 at 10:00 AM EDT.

Respondents must propose separate hourly rates for security guards and supervisors, with distinct rates for holiday service on New Year's Day, Independence July 4th, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. Pricing is FOB Destination with no overtime charges permitted. The contractor is responsible for obtaining all required Connecticut licenses and permits under Connecticut Public Act 08-73 at their own expense and must conduct comprehensive background checks on all assigned personnel, including criminal history and sex offender registry status, with results provided to CCSU at least two weeks before work assignments. Insurance must be provided immediately upon selection. Payment is made by invoice after each event. CCSU is exempt from federal excise taxes and Connecticut sales tax, and reserves the right to award contracts to multiple vendors and reject bids in whole or in part.
