Armored Car Services

The City of Mesa issued an RFP (2021250) for the provision of armored‑car services, requiring the secure pick‑up, transport, and delivery of cash, coins, and negotiable instruments from municipal facilities to the designated bank vault. After receiving proposals from Brinks, Inc. and Garda CL West, the City selected Brink’s U.S. as the awardee. The contract is a three‑year firm‑fixed‑price agreement (Nov 2021‑Oct 2024) with a potential two‑year renewal, and an annual budget of $30,000. Key points include: • Scope: Daily armored‑car cash collection and delivery with strict service windows and liability coverage. • Requirements: Minimum $3 M bonding, specific insurance limits, and an operating facility in the Phoenix metro area. • Evaluation: Open competition; award based on best‑scored proposal, with flexibility for broader service windows and next‑day fund delivery as suggested in Addendum 1.
