Vendors must submit a comprehensive proposal demonstrating their capability to meet the state's security service requirements.

The RFB does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract is non-exclusive, meaning the State reserves the right to retain additional contractors for similar services. No incumbent vendor information is provided in the documentation. The state maintains the flexibility to add or delete locations and equipment during the contract term, subject to written approval. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, vendors are required to submit a fully loaded hourly rate for the security services. The contract will be awarded to the vendor meeting the specified criteria and offering the lowest cost per hour. Potential bidders should be prepared to provide comprehensive security services, including uniformed personnel, marked patrol vehicles, and detailed reporting mechanisms. The total contract value will depend on the hourly rate and the scope of services provided over the initial two-year term and potential one-year extension.
