Security Services for Residential Facilities

The Albany Housing Authority is requesting proposals for professional security officer services at residential facilities, with proposals due September 15, 2026. Proposers must be qualified, licensed, and insured firms.

The RFP uses a "Best Value" evaluation methodology rather than lowest-cost selection. Proposals must address seven key areas: a completed Attachment G pricing sheet, HUD forms 5369-B, 5369-C, and 5370-C, firm profile, proposed services with demonstrated understanding of requirements, managerial capacity and financial viability supported by professional resumes, minimum three client references with contact information, and Equal Employment Opportunity and Sexual Harassment policies. Prospective bidders must notify the AHA in writing prior to submission if unwilling to accept any mandatory contract provisions, which will be presented in the AHA's standard contract form.

The RFP does not specify contract term, renewal options, estimated value, or incumbent contractor. A bidders' conference date and site-visit requirements are not identified in the available materials. The question submission deadline is not stated. Evaluation will be conducted by committee, with recommendations forwarded to the Board of Commissioners for final approval. Contract negotiations may occur before or after board approval. All proposers will receive notification of evaluation results, placement rankings, submitted costs, and notification of debriefing and protest rights. Place of performance is Albany County and Albany City residential facilities.
