Campus Security Guard Services

East Carolina University is soliciting proposals for an Agency Contract to provide security guard and patrol services for its Campus Living residence hall communities. The primary objective is to enhance safety, maintain a visible security presence, and deter criminal or disruptive behavior while supporting the operations of the ECU Police Department. The scope of work is specifically limited to exterior neighborhood patrol services, including the monitoring of public areas, perimeters, walkways, and parking lots. The contractor is explicitly excluded from performing residence hall access control, guest management, key control, or other administrative housing functions. Operational requirements specify a full-service schedule seven days a week from 9:00 PM to 3:45 AM, with primary service dates anticipated from January 8, 2027, to May 6, 2027. All assigned staff must be approved for hire by the ECU Police and undergo criminal background checks at the vendor's expense. A designated on-site supervisor must be present at all times. Award decisions will be based on technical merit, total cost of ownership, past performance, experience level, and the probability of high-quality, timely performance. Administrative requirements include strict invoicing protocols where payment is contingent upon inspection and acceptance by the Contract Manager. Vendors must certify their financial stability, provide evidence of registration with the North Carolina Secretary of State, and comply with E-Verify requirements for employers with more than 25 employees. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the electronic Vendor Portal by December 1, 2026, and must include a technical proposal, pricing, and customer references.
