BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

 

The Orange County Probation Department (Probation) provides housing and supervision at its Juvenile Hall facility and provides supervision and services to adult and juvenile offenders throughout Orange County at its field offices. Members of the public, adult and juvenile offenders and/or friends and family of the offenders may visit each of these sites. In order to ensure safety of the Probation employees and residents of Orange County, enhanced security services are a necessity at the Juvenile Hall and field offices. Security services required at the various locations include but are not limited to: weapons screening; security camera monitoring; assistance to Deputy Probation Officers during arrests; intervention and deterrence of illegal activity; issuance of parking violation notices; and the performance of patrol checks of parking lots, office areas, lobby and exterior area of the buildings to ensure the safety of all staff and the public.

 

On July 22, 2021, the County Procurement Office (CPO) issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) utilizing the County’s online bidding system for security guard services. As a result of the RFP, CPO executed an aggregate Regional Cooperative Agreement (RCA) RCA-017-22010008, effective October 1, 2021, through September 30, 2026, with the four following firms:

           

1.  Absolute Security International Inc.

2.  High Level Security Solutions, Inc.

3.  Lyons Security Service Inc.

4.  Universal Protection Service, LP dba Allied Universal (Allied)
