RFP No. 223101 Parking Garage Security Services

The City of Salem, located in Marion County, Oregon, issued Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 223101 for Parking Garage Security Services, seeking a professional security provider to deliver unarmed foot and vehicle patrols at three downtown parking garages. The successful proposer must provide dedicated security coverage five days per week, typically Wednesday through Sunday, with flexibility to adjust scheduling as needed. Key deliverables include one security officer performing comprehensive garage security monitoring and patrol services. The procurement requires vendors to submit comprehensive proposals demonstrating organizational structure, service approach, staff qualifications, reporting capabilities, and fee structures. Evaluation will occur on a 100-point scale, with 30 points allocated to the fee proposal and the remaining points distributed across technical and qualitative elements. Proposals were due on October 28, 2022, at 4:00 PM local time, with electronic submissions required through Equity Hub's Bid Locker. The City intends to award a one-year agreement with potential extensions up to four additional one-year terms.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged business enterprises, and no MWBE, VS, or DBE goals were identified. The incumbent security provider was Elite Security, which serviced the contract for 15 months prior to this solicitation. Wright Security Enterprises, LLC was ultimately recommended for contract award on December 21, 2022. Current billing rates are established at $30 per hour, with no specialized equipment, training, or uniform requirements mandated. The workforce is not covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and no bid or performance bonds are required. The City reserves contractual flexibility to add or delete security personnel at agreed-upon hourly rates, with payment terms set at net 30 days and no prepayment provisions. While specific budget ranges were not explicitly detailed, the hourly rate and anticipated service scope provide insight into potential contract value.
