Alarm Permit Program

The City of Beaverton is issuing this Request for Proposal (RFP) to invite qualified vendors to submit proposals for an Alarm Permit Program. The selected vendor will provide a comprehensive alarm management solution that includes permit issuance, renewal processing, violation tracking, fee collection, and reporting. The vendor will be the interface between the community and the City of Beaverton. The goal of the Alarm Permit Program will be to reduce costs, reduce false alarms and create an easy streamline process for alarm permit issuance and renewal.

The City of Beaverton has previously employed one FTE to manage the alarm permit program to process permits, answer questions related to the program, track violations and manage fee collection. The current system is outdated in the fee collection process.

For the 2023 calendar year there were 1,216 Commercial Permits and 2,328 Residential Permits issued. For a total of 3,544 issued permits
