Rebid of River Valley Transit Authority Security Services

The River Valley Transit Authority (RVTA) operates comprehensive fixed-route bus services across Lycoming and Clinton Counties, with key facilities including the McDade Trade and Transit Center (TTC) and the Church Street Transportation Center (CSTC) in downtown Williamsport, PA. The TTC features a multi-level conference center, parking, and an outdoor transfer area with fourteen bus access points, facilitating seamless passenger transfers and providing amenities such as waiting areas, restrooms, vending machines, and ticket sales. The CSTC functions as an intermodal hub with 300 parking spaces, serving as a major connection point for statewide intercity bus services through Fullington Trailways, and offers 24-hour parking access to accommodate travelers and nearby hotels. Given the public accessibility of these facilities, RVTA emphasizes the importance of maintaining a secure environment for both staff and passengers. To achieve this, the transit centers are equipped with extensive closed-circuit video surveillance covering transit and parking areas. Security services are required to operate daily from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM, Monday through Saturday, to ensure continuous safety coverage. The authority is seeking qualified security service providers to submit proposals for ongoing security needs, with the contract being rebid annually. The project has a budget range between $500,000 and $1,500,000, and interested vendors are invited to respond by November 1, 2024, through the designated procurement platform.
