Background

The City of Port St. Lucie hosts public events throughout the year that require appropriate safety measures to protect attendees. Industry best practices for event security emphasize the use of physical vehicle mitigation strategies to prevent unauthorized vehicle access into pedestrian areas.

Traditional traffic control measures such as cones and signage do not provide adequate protection against vehicle intrusion. As a result, municipalities are adopting barrier systems designed to stop or redirect vehicles while allowing for flexible deployment.

The Special Events Division has identified a need for a portable, modular vehicle barrier system that can be deployed across multiple event locations and reused throughout the year to enhance perimeter security and reduce risk at City-sponsored events.
