The City of Aurora intends to select the proposal that provides the best overall value, considering qualifications, experience, staffing plan, service approach, cost, references, and demonstrated ability to provide effective security services in a warming center environment.

The number of residents may fluctuate substantially based upon warming center utilization, weather conditions, seasonal demand, and emergency circumstances.

The facility may will include sleeping areas, common areas, bathrooms, offices, storage areas, and other spaces accessible to guests, staff, and volunteers.
