Crossing Guard Services

The City of Clermont, Florida is seeking a vendor to provide comprehensive crossing guard management and services. The agency needs to secure eight fully trained crossing guards to cover eight designated crossing guard posts within the city limits. This service must operate Monday through Friday, excluding days when schools are not in session, to ensure the safety of students during morning arrival, afternoon dismissal, early release schedules, and emergency schedule changes. The scope of work requires the selected provider to fully manage the crossing guard program and maintain uninterrupted coverage at all contracted posts. The provider must supply a program manager to coordinate with the city liaison, as well as a supervisor to monitor guard locations, safety procedures, uniform compliance, and equipment usage. Additionally, the provider must maintain a pool of fully trained alternate personnel and run a pre-employment screening program that includes reference checks, criminal background checks, fingerprinting, and social security verification. Eligible bidders must be located onshore within the United States, and all contracted work must be performed onsite in Clermont, Florida. The agency is establishing a contract period of four years to maintain these services. While the agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals, it has scheduled a pre-bid meeting for June 15, 2026, and set the deadline for all questions on July 1, 2026.
