Citywide Armored Transportation Services

The City of Sacramento is soliciting proposals for citywide armored transportation services to collect and protect money, checks, and documents from various city locations for delivery to JP Morgan Chase Bank, as well as delivering bank change orders back to city sites. The contract is estimated at approximately 800,000 dollars over a three-to-five-year term. The selected contractor must provide armed, uniformed, and licensed guards using secured, weather-tight vehicles. Operational requirements include a pick-up and delivery window of no more than four hours per site per day, with each stop completed within ten minutes. To ensure a proper audit trail, the contractor must utilize Armored Carrier Receipts and provide an annual photo identification listing of all guards. Proposals will be evaluated based on a 100-point system focusing on qualifications and experience (40 points), project approach and work plan (40 points), references (10 points), and cost (10 points), with the award based on best value rather than the lowest price. Proposers must submit a flat, non-variable monthly rate per pickup location. Strict packaging standards are required, including the use of tamper-evident bags and specific currency bundling and marking procedures. Mandatory compliance requirements include the Equal Benefits Ordinance, a Business Operations Tax Certificate, and necessary insurance endorsements. Proposals must be submitted via the official online bid portal by the deadline of November 16, 2026.
