Site Security Patrol

Escambia County Waste Services Department is seeking quotes for unarmed security patrol services at the Perdido Landfill and Palafox Transfer Station through a Request for Quotes (RFQ) process. The contract will cover the period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with specific security requirements for both locations. Vendors must provide licensed and bonded security officers equipped with communication devices and patrol vehicles to conduct regular patrols, transport bank deposits, check facilities, and respond to security alarms. For the Perdido Landfill, security coverage is required seven days a week with varied hours, including evening patrols, totaling 78 monthly hours for dedicated patrol and 26 monthly hours for Sunday patrol. The Palafox Transfer Station requires two one-hour daily visits Monday through Friday and two random weekend visits, totaling 61 monthly hours. Vendors must submit electronic responses through the OpenGov Procurement platform by September 5, 2025, at 9:00 am, with questions due by September 4, 2025. Respondents are required to provide proof of Sunbiz registration, a W-9, and supporting documentation.

The RFQ does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. Vendors must meet comprehensive insurance requirements, including minimum coverage levels for workers' compensation ($1,000,000), general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), and business auto liability ($1,000,000 per accident). Insurance providers must have an AM Best Rating of VIII with an "A" or better rating preferred. Escambia County will be named as an additional insured on most policies, with 30-day notification required for any policy cancellations or changes. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the pricing structure is based on monthly hours for different patrol locations. Vendors must confirm understanding that this is a written quote request, not a formal bid, and validate the pricing submitted in the provided pricing table. The county's standard terms and conditions are available on its website, and potential contractors must demonstrate compliance with all specified insurance and operational requirements.
