Districtwide Risk Management, Security and Emergency Operations Assessment Services

The government authority in California requires a vendor to provide districtwide risk management, security, and emergency operations assessment services for a one-year contract period. The buyer seeks a comprehensive assessment of higher education public safety practices to develop recommendations for a modern, service-oriented, non-sworn, non-armed public safety organization. The selected vendor must evaluate all-hazards and civilian models, assess practices in community colleges, and identify methods to minimize reliance on local law enforcement. The scope includes assessing risk, liability, insurance, governance, staffing, training, technology, emergency communications, and integrated security systems, as well as developing alternative organizational models with budgetary impacts for Board consideration. Eligible vendors must be onshore USA organizations, and performance of the work will be offsite. Vendors may submit responses digitally via email or online, and the buyer is looking for proposals regarding the budget. Vendors must submit all questions no later than September 16, 2026.
