After-Hours Park Patrol Services

The City of Gilroy, California, requires unarmed after-hours security patrol services for city parks, trails, landscaped areas, and associated public facilities during hours when these locations are closed to the public. The agency is seeking to solve the problem of unauthorized after-hours activity, trespassing, and unsecured facilities. To address this, the agency requires physical verification and securing of all assigned facilities, ensuring all patrons have exited at closing times, and ejecting after-hours trespassers, including campers and unauthorized vehicles. The scope of work covers the provision of two security guards working part-time shifts between 10:00 pm and 2:00 am. The agency requires a guard tour and patrol verification system with GPS-based checkpoint tracking to monitor performance. Guards must conduct direct physical verifications to secure and reopen facilities, as drive-by inspections are not acceptable. Additionally, the selected provider must maintain and update the security procedures manual, commonly known as post orders, and coordinate with city staff to document incidents. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. Although the performance of the work is designated as offsite, the physical patrol duties must take place at the specified city facilities in Gilroy, California. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is currently looking for proposals to determine costs. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 1, 2026.
