The Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County is soliciting competitive proposals under RFP #27007 to establish a master task order contract for both armed and unarmed on-site security services across various government-owned and operated locations. The contract is structured for an initial one-year period, with the possibility of four additional one-year extensions starting January 1, 2028. Services are issued via task order releases and may include routine patrols, the operation of CCTV and intrusion alarm systems, and the use of computerized security software. Performance requirements include adherence to Georgia security and immigration compliance laws, with shifts defined as day (7am to 7pm) and night (7pm to 7am). Award decisions will be based on a best-value trade-off between past performance, technical capability, and price. Evaluation criteria are weighted toward firm experience (25 points), qualifications (25 points), understanding of requirements (20 points), references (10 points), equipment (10 points), and cost (10 points). The government may consider making multiple awards to qualified vendors. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the OpenGov portal by November 18, 2026, and must include a separately sealed price proposal. The contract includes provisions for termination with or without cause via 30-day written notice, monthly invoicing requirements, and mandatory certifications regarding environmental compliance and professional licensing.
