Physical Security & Access Control Upgrades

The contract outlines the installation of new locks across all water treatment infrastructure, encompassing wells, treatment plants, storage tanks, and distribution points, with the purpose of securing abandoned facilities and enhancing physical security. This effort is part of a broader initiative to control unauthorized access and ensure the safety of critical infrastructure assets that are no longer in active use but remain vulnerable to trespassing or tampering. The scope requires thorough assessment and implementation of standardized locking mechanisms to meet security protocols applicable to state-managed utilities. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 238990 and is solicited by the Colorado Department of Public Safety, Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Management. It was posted on July 22, 2026, with a response deadline of July 27, 2026, indicating a short window for qualified subcontractors to submit proposals. All work must be performed at facilities within Colorado, though specific locations are not detailed, and the contract is not subject to any set-aside provisions. Bidders are expected to have expertise in physical security upgrades for utilities and the ability to execute work in remote or unused infrastructure sites under tight timelines.
