Description

National Park College is seeking a qualified firm to provide armed, uniformed security guard services for all of its campuses and facilities. The contractor must supply fully trained armed guards, uniforms, equipment, vehicles (if used), and all required insurance, while maintaining 24‑hour coverage (including weekends) and handling all administrative reporting, incident documentation, and compliance with state procurement rules. The contract is initially for one year with the possibility of up to six additional one‑year renewals, totaling a potential seven‑year relationship. • Provide 24/7 armed security (minimum 2 guards per shift) with entry/egress control, patrols, alarm response, incident reporting, and life‑safety support. • Supply uniforms, firearms, holsters, ammunition, vehicles (if used), and maintain all required workers’ compensation, general liability, and automobile insurance. • Deliver full administrative support: background checks, drug testing, personnel files, daily logs, incident reports, and compliance with equal‑opportunity and certification requirements. • Submit a technical proposal and a separate cost proposal; pricing must remain valid for 90 days post‑opening. • No subcontracting without written consent; the contractor assumes full liability and indemnification obligations.

Budget estimate

$500,000 – $900,000

The contract will require continuous armed coverage for an entire college campus. Assuming two guards per 24‑hour shift at an average rate of $30‑$40 per hour (including overtime, insurance, vehicle mileage, and administrative overhead), annual labor costs range from roughly $500,000 to $800,000. Adding equipment, insurance premiums, and profit margin could push the total contract value to between $600,000 and $900,000 for the first year. Renewals would generate comparable amounts each subsequent year.
