ITB 2023200068 Armored Car Services

The City of Eugene, located in Lane County, Oregon, is soliciting sealed bids for Armored Car Services through Invitation to Bid (ITB) 2023200068, with proposals due on Wednesday, August 16, 2023, at 2:30 PM. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide comprehensive armored car services, including picking up deposit bags from various city locations such as the police department, libraries, community centers, and the Hult Center, and delivering them to a designated cash vault. Pickup frequencies vary from one to five times per week, with potential for special delivery and pickup services as needed. Bidders must provide detailed pricing for each location and service, with a requirement to maintain a $1,000,000 Employee Dishonesty Bond for the contract's duration. The City intends to award a contract with an initial one-year term and the possibility of up to four additional one-year renewals, potentially extending the contract to a total of five years. The procurement will give preference to materials and supplies manufactured from recycled materials, provided they are no more than 5% more expensive than virgin materials.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the bid documents suggest a standard competitive procurement process. The contractor will be responsible for providing secure transportation and handling of municipal funds across multiple city facilities. No incumbent vendor information is provided in the available documents. The cost worksheet indicates that bidders will submit individual location pricing, but no comprehensive budget range or total contract value is specified. The successful vendor must demonstrate the capability to service multiple locations with varying pickup frequencies, maintain high security standards, and comply with the City of Eugene's administrative requirements. The procurement appears to be open to qualified armored car service providers who can meet the city's specific logistical and security needs, with the expectation that the selected vendor will provide reliable, consistent service across the designated municipal locations.
