The City requires a minimum of two (2) unarmed security guards working as a team to be deployed to walk around the downtown Everett business area and perimeter blocks surrounding the downtown area during various shifts. The general boundaries are 23rd ST to the north, Pacific ST to the south, Norton Ave to the west, and Broadway Ave to the east. The anticipated duties are as follows: • Patrol the grounds to detect and prevent theft, trespassing, and property damage. • Monitor vehicles in parking areas to prevent vandalism and theft. • Respond to disturbances around the boundaries and report to law enforcement if necessary. • Provide trained emergency assistance until EMS arrives. • Interact with businesses and the public. • Report suspicious people, activities, or situations to local law enforcement. • Provide information about services to individuals who may need assistance. However, the awarded Supplier may refuse to perform duties based on a threat assessment or other verifiable data indicating that security guards would be placed in danger. Pricing is also being requested for armed security guards. The City will make a final determination of armed versus unarmed guards prior to the contract award.
