The City of Colorado Springs, through Mountain Metropolitan Transit (MMT), is seeking proposals for comprehensive armed security services primarily at the Transit Campus and Downtown Terminal, with potential expansion to other satellite locations within Colorado Springs city limits. The Request for Proposal (RFP) solicits qualified firms to provide professional armed security services that adhere to industry best practices and Federal Transportation Administration (FTA) regulations. Specific service requirements include a taser-equipped security officer for the Downtown Terminal and a firearm-equipped, vehicle-supported guard for the Transit Administration building, with a potential future roving vehicle-based rapid-response service. The contract will be awarded using a best value approach, with evaluation criteria focusing on technical approach, experience/qualifications, and pricing. Key dates include a pre-proposal conference on May 6, 2025, proposal submissions due by June 2, 2025 at 12:00 PM MST, and an anticipated Notice to Proceed on August 1, 2025. The base contract period runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2026, with potential option years extending through August 31, 2030. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documents, the solicitation emphasizes comprehensive security qualifications, including mandatory safety training, insurance coverage, and strict operational standards. The contract requires proposers to provide detailed hourly rate pricing that covers all operational costs, including personnel, equipment, vehicles, and infrastructure. Contractors must demonstrate compliance with FTA regulations and possess the capability to provide comprehensive security services across multiple transit locations. The total contract value for all years is capped, with a fixed funding amount for the base year. The pricing structure allows flexibility for the Project Manager to adjust guard quantities and service types as needed, with the total working days for the base year calculated at 362 days and total hours at 14,129. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the solicitation indicates the potential for a multi-year engagement with four possible option years beyond the initial base year contract.
