RFP #27-22-DSS SECURITY OFFICER SERVICES

The County of Cumberland in North Carolina is soliciting proposals for armed security officer services under RFP #27-22-DSS. The scope of work requires the provision of armed security personnel at two locations: the Cumberland County Department of Social Services, which requires three armed guards including one supervisor (with the potential to increase to five), and the Cumberland County Family Resource Center, which requires one armed guard. Key responsibilities include patrolling premises, monitoring surveillance equipment and metal detectors, preventing loss and damage, and providing annual tracking data analysis. The contract will be awarded based on the best overall value method, with evaluations based on a 100-point scale. The contract features an initial one-year term with the option for two additional one-year renewals, though performance beyond the first fiscal year is contingent upon continued funding from the County Board of Commissioners. Payment terms are net thirty calendar days after invoice approval. Vendors must comply with several regulatory requirements, including the Drug Free Workplace requirements for federal funded contracts over $100,000, the Build America, Buy America Act, and prevailing wage standards under the Davis-Bacon Act. Proposals must include a management plan detailing training and certification programs, as well as certifications regarding financial condition, lobbying, and noncollusion. Submission requires one original signed proposal, four photocopies, and one electronic copy on a flash drive in PDF or XLS format.
