A Request for Proposals was issued on March 16, 2020 and sent to vendors. On April 17, 2020, the Purchasing Division opened and read two proposals. See attached tabulation.

The proposals were evaluated by an evaluation committee of staff members from Human Resources and the Davenport Police Department.  The criteria used for the evaluations were: 1) Scope of Services, understanding of required service and methodology - 50%, 2) Proposed Pricing - 35%, and 3) References - 15%.  The next step was virtual meetings for interviews.  

Cross Safe scored the highest on the evaluations and during the interview process; the committee felt that Cross Safe would best fit with the City's needs. 

The annual fee proposed is $151,570 to be billed in 10 equal monthly installments of $15,157. In accordance with the current memorandum of understanding between the City of Davenport and the Davenport Community School District, this fee will be split funded between both parties (50/50). The City's share will be $7,578.50 for each of the 10 months.
