The County of Imperial is seeking quotations from experienced commercial security vendors to provide a commercial-grade electronic security system and 24/7 professional monitoring for a facility located at 190 Eddins Road, Calipatria, California. This procurement follows a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) model, meaning the selected vendor is responsible for supplying the encrypted wireless hardware, providing remote programming, over-the-air activation, and maintaining cellular connectivity, while the County performs all physical installation and on-site labor.

The contractor must ensure the system utilizes dedicated cellular communications for primary signal transmission and provides continuous monitoring through a certified central station, including an interactive smartphone application for remote management. Award will be granted to the lowest responsible contractor who meets all technical compliance and DIY framework requirements. Bidders must provide itemized pricing for all equipment, activation fees, and recurring monthly fees, while specifying whether services are month-to-month or subject to a minimum contract duration, such as 36 or 60 months. Quotations are due by 2:00 PM on November 12, 2026.
