Security Services (Trade services)

Fresno Housing, a public housing agency serving low-income families, seniors, and persons with disabilities in California, is seeking qualified security service providers to deliver unarmed security personnel and related services across its residential communities and administrative facilities. The solicitation, identified as 2026-IFB-19, seeks contractors capable of conducting routine patrols, monitoring common areas, responding to incidents, documenting security activities, and coordinating with local law enforcement, all while upholdingresident safety, dignity, and rights. Services must align with federal, state, and local laws, as well as Fresno Housing's policies and HUD requirements, with performance centered on community-oriented, professional, and reliable security operations. The contract is structured as a Firm Fixed Price arrangement based on a Stipulated Sum, with the place of performance located in Fresno, California, and submissions due by August 24, 2026. The contract is administered under AIA A201-2017 standards, not federal FAR clauses, with key deliverables defined by substantial and final completion milestones, inspection protocols tied to site-based evaluations, and liability mechanisms governed by contractual indemnities and insurance requirements detailed in Exhibit A. The contractor is responsible for providing all labor, equipment, and documentation necessary to meet performance benchmarks, including adherence to OSHA standards, proper handling of hazardous materials, and maintenance of insurance coverage as outlined in the exhibits, which also include schedules for values, prevailing wages, and project timelines. While the contract does not specify a monetary value, it requires strict compliance with submission procedures outlined in the Instructions to Bidders, though no page limits, electronic portal requirements, or mandatory socioeconomic certifications are imposed. Proposal submissions must be directed to the Procurement Department or Maintenance and Construction Project Manager, with payment processes governed by applications for payment and certificates issued by the Architect, though no electronic invoicing systems like WAWF are mandated. Key personnel, including a superintendent, must be pre-approved, and subcontractor identification is required, with no explicit mention of security clearances or organizational conflict of interest provisions. The contract emphasizes accountability through inspection and correction of nonconforming work, liquidated damages for delays at $500 per working day, and enforceable obligations for material preservation, labeling, and compliance with all applicable laws and codes, ensuring the security services directly support the agency’s mission of safe, equitable, and dignified housing.
