About this file

This is an Agenda Item Summary Sheet from Keys Energy Services (KEYS), a municipal electric utility in Florida, detailing a procurement for security services during emergency situations. The document outlines a request to award unit price contracts to six security firms (DECO International Security Corporation, Environmental Earth Wise, Inc., Kingdom Guardian Security & Investigation Services, Nation Security Services, SecurTec of Florida, and XPressGuards) for providing security and patrol services at Stock Island facilities. The contract specifications include a three-year duration with two potential one-year renewals, specifically for activation during declared emergencies such as hurricanes.

The procurement has no predetermined total cost and is not currently budgeted, with potential funding sources including FEMA and state cost-share reimbursement. All six bidders complied with KEYS' technical specifications and terms and conditions. In the event of an emergency, the Utility Board authorizes the General Manager to issue task orders against these pre-negotiated unit price contracts, with contractors to be prioritized based on bid pricing. The contracts align with KEYS' strategic plan goal of providing reliable electric service and include specific terms compliant with FEMA Public Assistance Program requirements. The approach allows for flexible, rapid security deployment during critical events while maintaining cost-effectiveness and regulatory compliance.
