Title: RFP 19-20/10 District-wide Community-Based Safety Service

Deadline: 6/23/2020 1:00 PM   (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada)

Status: Deadline Expired

Solicitation Number: RFP No.: 19-20/10

Description:

District-Wide Community-Based Security Services

The Peralta Community College District (District) includes Laney College in downtown Oakland, Berkeley City College in downtown Berkeley, Merritt College in the Oakland Hills, and the College of Alameda on Alameda Island.  District offices are located across the street from Laney College. 

The District is seeking a community-based security service that focuses on personal engagement between the security team, students, faculty, staff and administration.  The ideal vendor will understand restorative justice principles and de-escalation techniques, and will earn the trust of the communities they serve.  The vendor and those that they employ, will have particular sensitivity to communities of color and communities that have experienced the de-humanizing effects of institutional racism, oppression and willful neglect.  The security firm will employ a team of first responders that will be dispatched through the District’s centralized dispatcher.  Ideally, these first responders will come from the community and have specific knowledge of the community they serve. 

Security personnel will walk the campus during daytime hours or will be stationed at the security guard’s console.  Personnel will be unarmed, though a two-way radio device will be provided with connectivity to other district staff and the District’s dispatcher.  The goal of this RFP is to create a non-lethal, non-traditional security layer that may respond to challenges before the traditional policing services are activated.  Services provided under this contract will work with and will be integrated into the existing set of District security providers, including the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO), A-1 Protective Services (A-1), and a student safety aide program, administered by the Merritt College Criminal Justice Program (safety aides).
