RFP - event security services - 030724

The City of College Park, Georgia is seeking proposals from qualified and experienced security organizations to provide unarmed Event Security Services for events held at the Georgia International Convention Center (GICC) and the Gateway Arena @ College Park (Arena) Campus. The selected contractor will be responsible for providing trained personnel, equipment, uniforms, and other necessary items and services to ensure public safety and security. Proposals are due by March 7, 2024 at 10:00 am EST, and the contract will be awarded to the most responsive and responsible offeror, not necessarily the lowest cost. The contract term is for one year with four optional one-year renewal periods, and the estimated number of events is between 75-100 on the GICC/Arena Campus.

The RFP does not require a bid bond, but the selected contractor will need to provide insurance coverage. Pricing should be based on the total event staff and supervisors required, which can range from 40-50 security personnel per event. The City has an incumbent vendor, Argus Event Staffing, who has been assisting with staffing, and the previous bid tabulation for this project is available. The City is seeking annual rates for the event security services, and the estimated budget for these services last year was $634,608.00.
