The Bend Park and Recreation District, located in Deschutes County, Oregon, is seeking a qualified Private Security Entity to provide comprehensive unarmed private security services district-wide. The procurement involves consolidating security services currently provided by two contractors into a single contract for day and night shift coverage. Required services include patrol vehicle operations, dispatch services, and after-hours non-emergency phone call-routing. Proposers must meet minimum qualifications demonstrating professional security experience, appropriate licensing, and capability to manage district-wide security operations. The Request for Proposals (RFP) outlines detailed evaluation criteria focusing on proposer qualifications, service approach, staffing plan, and cost effectiveness. Proposals are due March 30, 2023, at 2:00 PM, with an anticipated contract start date of July 1, 2023. The initial contract term will run through June 30, 2025, with potential renewal options for three additional one-year terms.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The district currently utilizes two unnamed security contractors and aims to streamline services under a single vendor. The estimated budget for fiscal year 2023-24 is $190,000, providing potential respondents insight into the contract's financial scope. While specific integration requirements are not detailed, proposers should be prepared to seamlessly transition and potentially inherit existing security protocols and infrastructure. The sample contract included in the solicitation documents indicates comprehensive requirements around insurance, indemnification, compliance with applicable laws, and standard contractual provisions. Successful proposers will need to demonstrate robust operational capabilities, professional staffing, and a comprehensive approach to providing security services across the Bend Park and Recreation District's facilities and properties.
