RRHA-RFP-2026-29 Armed Security

The Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority (RRHA) is soliciting proposals under RRHA-RFP-2026-29 for comprehensive armed security services across multiple family and senior housing communities, including the Housing Choice Voucher Office. The scope of work requires a combination of vehicle and foot post coverage and rapid incident response, operating approximately 16 hours per day, seven days a week. Specific requirements for the HCVP office include one armed officer from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, Monday through Friday, with a second officer required during resident intake days on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and alternating Wednesdays. The contract features an initial one-year term with four optional one-year renewals, for a potential total duration of five years. Qualified contractors must provide personnel licensed as Special Conservators of the Peace (SCOP) in accordance with Virginia regulations. Mandatory equipment includes at least two branded patrol vehicles per shift with amber lights and a policy-driven body-worn camera program. Contractors are required to maintain significant insurance coverages, including $1,000,000 for both Commercial General Liability and Professional Liability. Award selection is based on the offeror deemed best suited and fully qualified, with price as a factor but not the sole determinant. All operations must comply with the Virginia Public Procurement Act, the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, and HUD regulations, specifically 2 CFR 200.321 and HUD Procurement Handbook 7460.8 REV 2. Proposals are due by October 13, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST.
