I. OBJECTIVE AND BACKGROUND
A. Objective
The City of Fort Collins requests proposals from qualified Service Providers to provide
security services on an as needed basis at up to two (2) local hotel locations. The hotels
will be providing non-congregate temporary shelter for persons experiencing
homelessness (PEH) (the “Tenants”). The temporary shelter is intended for PEH that
are highly susceptible to COVID-19 due to age or underlying medical condition and
require isolation but not hospitalization.
B. Background
Beginning in March 2020, the City and community partners, such as Homeward Alliance,
the Health District of Larimer County, Catholic Charities, Fort Collins Rescue Mission
and others, increased shelter capacity for persons experiencing homelessness (PEH) to
allow for physical distancing in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Because the
number of people accommodated at the shelters provided by community partners
reduced by half their typical capacity, a congregate shelter was established at Northside
Aztlan Community Center (NACC) and an outdoor shelter was established at Old
Heritage Park for the duration of the Statewide Stay-at-Home order. The outdoor shelter
was closed on April 29. The congregate shelter at NACC will close on June 19, 2020.
The City wishes to providing temporary housing to PEH during this continuing pandemic
while recognizing the need to return the NACC to regular programing. The intent of this
RFP is to identify and award a Service Provider to provide security services on an as
required basis at one (1) or two (2) local hotels.
On June 12, 2020, the State of Colorado approved the City to establish an emergency,
non-congregate shelter (NCS) for temporary housing using up to 50 hotel rooms for
approximately 3 months. The hotel rooms will be used exclusively for PEH that are
highly susceptible to COVID-19 due to age or underlying medical condition and require
isolation but not hospitalization.
II. SCOPE OF PROPOSAL
A. Program Overview
The selected Service Provider will provide security services on behalf of the City as
required. The City is planning to contract with up to two (2) local hotels to guarantee
availability for up to 50 total rooms for a period of 90 days or more.
The number of rooms required, and duration of the program may change as necessary
in the event the Statewide Emergency Declaration is extended. At this time, the City is
planning on the following estimated requirements:
- Month one – Up to 25 rooms
- Month two – Up to 50 rooms
- Month three – Up to 25 rooms
RFP 9152 Security Services Non-Congregate Hotel Page 4 of 21
The City will lease rooms on an as required basis with the initial PEH tenant(s) arriving
at the hotel in early to mid-July.
The City anticipates the need for security services at the hotel(s) for the duration of the
program. The selected Service Provider should have the resources necessary to
provide security services at up to two (2) location, seven (7) days per week and twenty-
four (24) hours per day. The final schedule for security services will be determined after
selection of the Service Provider.
B. Other Program Details
The City intends to hire a third-party individual, firm, or non-profit agency to be on-site at
the hotel(s) to provide oversight of the Tenants (the “Operator”). The Operator will be
the Tenants primary point of contact for program oversight, health screening, and Tenant
logistics including food delivery and distribution. It is the City’s intent that a
representative from the Operator will be on-site at the hotel seven days per week for part
of each day as determined by the City. Alternatively, a representative of the Operator
may reside at the hotel for the duration of the program.
The Service Provider awarded the contract to provide on-site security (the “Security
Services”) will work in close collaboration with the City’s Operator on all matters
pertaining to safety and security of the Tenants. The Service Provider will provide
Security Services, as needed, and their primary responsibility is limited to safety and
security of the Tenants. The Security Service will also serve as a resource to the hotel
for any Tenant matters related to safety and/or security. A representative from the
Security Service may reside at the hotel for the duration of the program if mutually
agreed by the parties.
C. Tenant’s Compliance to Rules & Regulations

established by the City, Operator, and hotel Owner. In the event a Tenant fails to

compliance to the rules and regulations.
