R -- Security Guard Services

The contract addresses the immediate requirement of the CDC for security guard services from April 1, 2005, to September 30, 2005. It involves providing approximately 250 armed and unarmed security guards daily. The contractor must hold all necessary licenses and permits mandated by the State of Georgia. Currently, Walden Security is the incumbent contractor, being the only firm meeting all qualifications and capable of delivering the required services. Consequently, the existing contract is set to be extended through the specified period until a new solicitation is issued. A solicitation for a follow-on contract is planned for release in April 2005, ensuring continuity of services beyond the current extension. The contract falls under NAICS code 561612, which pertains to security guard and patrol services. Points of contact include Stephen A Lester and Dale F Defilipps, who can be reached via provided email addresses and phone numbers for further contract-related inquiries. This arrangement ensures the CDC maintains adequate security resources while transitioning to a new contractual agreement.
