The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order to Advantage Total Protection Inc., a small business contractor, on February 6, 2025, for alarm services at Hidden Dam and Hensley Lake in Raymond, California. This is the first option year exercise of a five-year contract with a ceiling value of $26.5K. The contract supports security and safety operations at the water resource facilities by providing 24-hour alarm monitoring, quarterly maintenance inspections, and emergency notification services to project personnel and local law enforcement. The performance-based contract requires the contractor to maintain various alarm systems including Honeywell Ademco keypads, magnetic door sensors, motion sensors, and window entry alarms across multiple buildings such as the Project Headquarters, Dam Control Tower, and Maintenance Shop, with equipment repair or replacement capabilities up to $500 per inspection per building.
The award was made through a total small business set-aside solicitation issued in late December 2024 under NAICS code 561621 for Security Systems Services. The contracting officer, Antonina Beal, managed the solicitation process, which included a mandatory site visit requirement and utilized Service Contract Act wage determinations for Madera County, California. All alarm systems operate on traditional phone (POTS) lines, and the contractor is responsible for maintaining separate access codes for staff, contractors, and volunteers while adhering to strict technical specifications. The contract extends through January 31, 2030, enabling the Corps of Engineers to maintain continuous security monitoring at these critical water management facilities.
