North Orange County Regional Occupational Program Opengov #RFP-017-3034501-JC

Orange County countywide security services solicitation with an attachment referencing design and construction services

Orange County is seeking countywide security services, while an attached RFP excerpt also identifies design and construction services, creating a scope discrepancy. - Government buyer: County of Orange; County Executive Office - CPO is identified in the initial notice, and Procurement and Contract Services is named in the attachment. - Requested services: Countywide armed and unarmed security coverage, including at County facilities and John Wayne Airport. The attachment separately lists design and construction services, with details deferred to the RFP’s Model Contract and General Conditions. - Security service pricing: Hourly rates are requested for account managers, supervisors, lead guards/assistant supervisors, standard armed guards, specialized armed cargo-gate guards, aviation-worker screening guards, unarmed guards, additional-services guards, and patrol vehicles. Each listed rate line has a pricing quantity of 1; this does not establish a minimum service volume. - Security duties: Access control, foot and vehicle patrol, incident and emergency response, traffic control, report writing, law-enforcement coordination, and enforcement of agency policies. Airport posts include airfield, terminal, vehicle-access, pedestrian, cargo-gate, concession-delivery, and curbside assignments. - Notable requirements: The security provider must hold an active California Private Patrol Operator license, supply appropriately licensed and trained personnel, support 24/7 operations through a dedicated command center, and comply with applicable firearms, use-of-force, and security rules. The provider must scale staffing, arrange emergency or temporary coverage, provide additional personnel within two hours when requested, and arrange a replacement when a guard cannot report within one hour of shift start. Airport personnel must meet applicable screening and access-badge requirements. - OEMs and vendors: No security-service OEMs or bidders are identified. OpenGov Procurement Support is named as the eProcurement portal’s technical support provider, not as a security contractor. No product manufacturers or part numbers are specified. - Scope note: The attachment’s reference to design and construction services does not match the security-services scope in the initial notice; the provided materials do not clarify whether both scopes belong to this opportunity.
