Campus Security Services

Randolph Community College is requesting proposals for campus security services covering its Main Campus and Archdale Center, with proposals due November 6, 2026, and a mandatory site visit on October 21, 2026. The college operates a hybrid safety model combining contracted unarmed security officers with sworn law-enforcement officers from the Asheboro Police Department.

The scope requires continuous security coverage at the Main Campus Monday–Friday 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. (60 hours weekly), Monday–Thursday 6:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. (16 hours weekly), and Saturday 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (11 hours weekly), plus as-needed coverage at the Archdale Center ranging from approximately 20 to 40 hours weekly, totaling an estimated 107–127 base hours per week. Security officers must conduct patrols, manage access control, provide safety escorts, respond to emergencies, and assist with special events. Contractors must submit fully burdened hourly rates covering all wages, benefits, uniforms, equipment, supervision, and administrative costs, with separate pricing for regular officers, supervisors, special-event officers, holiday officers, overtime, and Sunday coverage. Vendors must be registered with the North Carolina Secretary of State and eVP, provide criminal background checks for all personnel within ninety days of contract execution, maintain appropriate insurance coverage, and comply with Clery Act training and qualification requirements.

Contractors must bid two alternatives: security services without a contractor-furnished vehicle (Alternative A) and with a contractor-furnished vehicle (Alternative B). The evaluation baseline uses 6,084 base security officer-hours annually for pricing comparison, though actual hours may vary.

Evaluation is weighted 75 points technical (staffing and supervision 25 points, technical approach 20 points, vendor qualifications and experience 15 points, references and past performance 10 points, account management 5 points) and 25 points price. The initial contract term is one year beginning December 11, 2026, or January 11, 2027, with options to renew for up to two additional one-year terms. Contract award is anticipated December 11, 2026. Questions are due October 23, 2026, with responses by October 26.
