docket or special circumstances regarding a previously difficult defendant. Also, security will be

EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF WORK
Background Information:
The Fort Collins Municipal Court is located in the City's Administration Building at 215 N. Mason
Street. Our Court Clerks' Office, waiting room, prosecutor's offices, and the courtroom are all
located on the north side of the first floor in this building. There are three entrances to the
building. The main entrance is the east entrance on the Mason Street side of the building. The
west entrance is located at the back of the building adjacent to the alleyway. The north
entrance, which is locked on arraignment mornings until 10:30AM, is located on the north side
of the building, adjacent to the building's parking lot.
Municipal Court arraignments and pretrial conferences are held every Monday, Wednesday,
and Thursday morning (except for national holidays and with rare exceptions) beginning at BAM
until approximately 10:30AM. However, defendants start arriving at 7:30AM when the building
and the Municipal Court Clerks' office opens. The listed time is approximate because we
occasionally have arraignments, during our busier months, that last until noon.
Municipal Court trials are typically scheduled on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons 4 to 6
times a month beginning at 1 PM. These generally conclude around 3PM but occasionally
continue until 4:30PM. Special hearings and trial dates (Jury Trials, Camera Radar/Red Light
trials, etc.) can be scheduled on Monday afternoons and all day on Tuesdays. These are held in
the Municipal Court courtroom.
During arraignments, the Court Bailiff is stationed directly outside of the Court Clerks' Office,
inside the east entrance. The Bailiff is responsible for checking defendants into court and
handing defendants their advisement paperwork. The Bailiff begins their duties at 7:30AM and
works at this station until approx. 8:15AM. At that time any defendant that checks in late will do
so in the Court Clerk's office.
After reviewing their paperwork, defendants are directed to the check -in window located half
way down the north hallway. From there, defendants are directed by the PTC clerk either into
the Court waiting room or into the courtroom. After completing either their pre-trial conference
with a prosecutor or pleading guilty in the courtroom in front of the Judge, defendants are
directed back to the Court Clerks' Office for paperwork processing and payment of fines/costs
due.
Scope of Work
The duties and responsibilities of the security vendor will be to provide a security presence for
the Municipal Court area, which could include directing defendants to the courtroom or Court
Clerks' Of ice, performing routine rounds of the area during arraignments, and occupying the
courtroom at all times when the courtroom door is open to the public. The security officer must
have the ability to effectively meet and interact with the public and communicate in a
professional manner both verbally and in writing, along with the ability to handle stressful
situations.
-- The securityofficer will report to and be evaluated by the Municipal Court Administrator, For
consistency and training, the Court requests that the vendor supply one primary officer assigned
to the duty, with one trained backup.
The security vendor will provide coverage for the Municipal Court area, including but not limited
to the Court Clerks' Office, the waiting room, the north hallway, the prosecutor's offices, and the
courtroom, beginning at 7:30AM until 10:30AM on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday
