Security Services

Mt. Hood Community College Public Safety Department is seeking competitive bids for on-call security services across multiple campus locations in Multnomah County, Oregon. The procurement is specifically requesting DPSST certified unarmed uniformed security officers to perform comprehensive campus security functions, including building and parking lot monitoring, facility access management, staff and student assistance, emergency response, and communication with public safety personnel. Bidders must submit an hourly rate proposal, a cover letter detailing qualifications, and three professional references demonstrating experience in similar security service contexts. The contract will be awarded on a best-value basis, evaluating price, experience, and reference quality, with the college reserving the right to determine the most responsible bidder. The initial contract term is 12 months, with potential options to renew for two additional one-year periods. Formal bid submissions are due by July 27, 2021, at 4:00 PM, with all proposals to be comprehensively reviewed against specified evaluation criteria.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. While no incumbent vendor information is provided, the document suggests the contract will support ongoing campus security needs across Mt. Hood Community College's facilities. The procurement appears to be an open competitive bidding process without predetermined limitations on vendor type or size. Although a specific contract value is not disclosed, bidders are required to submit hourly rates, which implies the total contract value will be determined by actual service utilization throughout the 12-month period. The procurement methodology emphasizes flexibility, with services to be rendered on an as-needed basis, which suggests potential variability in total contract expenditure based on actual security requirements during the contract term.
