| 07-21-2015 : | DES is preparing to refresh the Armored Car Service contract (#01013), which would allow more vendors to be available as part of the two-tier process. The first tier establishes a prequalified vendor pool. In the second tier, purchasers run their own procurement as identified in a step-by-step User Guide. Your feedback is requested to determine if there are changes that could be made to the current contract to improve its value to the customers. Send comments to the Contract Administrator Melanie Williams, (360) 407-9399. | |
| 01-14-2014 : | The Armored Car Services contract (#01013) was awarded to Loomis Armored LLC. It takes effect January 1, 2014, replacing contract #06806. This is now a two-tier contract and includes additional enrollment opportunities for vendors to be added to the pre-approved vendor pool beginning January 1, 2014. To allow for a phased implementation to the new contract, contract #06806 with Garda will remain in effect until all customer agencies have transitioned over. Customers need to coordinate with Garda and Loomis to schedule and coordinate their individual implementation plans. | |

| 09-10-2013 : | Draft RFQQ to stakeholder group for review. | |
| 06-13-2013 : | Review of bids revealed in lack of customer location information due to security concerns caused significant discrepancies in bid pricing.
