From the meeting
On October 27, 2026 TARC sought Board approval for a three-year armored car services contract with GardaWorld. The agency said GardaWorld had been the sole viable vendor since 2000 because of TARC's fare system, specialized equipment, and infrastructure constraints, and an August 2026 solicitation produced only one bid. The annual rate would not exceed $258,908 for contract years 2027 through 2029, making this a clear incumbent follow-on and pricing lock-in signal.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Transit Authority of River City's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
