Crossing Guard Services

The City of Clermont, Florida, requires a vendor to provide comprehensive crossing guard management and services to ensure student safety. The agency is seeking to solve the logistical challenge of staffing and managing eight crossing guard posts with fully trained personnel. The project covers morning arrival, afternoon dismissal, early release schedules, and emergency schedule changes on all days when schools are in session. The scope of work requires the selected provider to supply eight fully trained and equipped crossing guards, a program manager to coordinate with the City liaison, and a supervisor to monitor safety compliance and uniform standards. The agency requires the provider to maintain a pool of trained alternate personnel to guarantee uninterrupted coverage at all designated locations. Additionally, the provider must conduct a pre-employment screening program that includes employment reference checks, criminal background checks with fingerprinting, and social security verification. 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 secure these services. The budget for this initiative will be determined based on the proposals submitted by qualified respondents. The agency has scheduled a pre-bid meeting for June 15, 2026, to discuss the project requirements. Bidders must submit all clarification questions regarding this opportunity no later than July 1, 2026. The evaluation of proposals will depend on the respondents' ability to meet all management, staffing, and screening criteria outlined by the City.
