Court Security Officer (CSO) Services: Hoffman Courthouse

Added: Aug 04, 2016 3:15 pm Provide a full-time Court Security Officer (CSO) escort for contractors working after normal operating hours inside the Hoffman Courthouse. Projects have been identified where this service will be required (projects requiring night and weekend work). They will begin on (or around) September 1, 2016 and end on (or around) May 24, 2017. The projects will generally be operating on a concurrent schedule. 

The intended source for this requirement is Metropolitan Security Services, Inc (dba Walden Security) as they are the only responsible source. Walden Security is currently under contract with the United States Marshals Service (USMS) to provide ongoing CSO services throughout the Hoffman Courthouse during normal operating hours. 

Walden Security is the only responsible source capable of providing services for this requirement after normal operating hours since their Court Security Officers (CSOs) have familiarity and expertise with the buildings security systems, alarms, cameras, control room, etc. In addition, since Walden is currently providing these services for the building, they have an established reporting structure, emergency plan, etc. that is integrated into the Building Security Committee. Having two (2) separate security contractors provide the same services within the Hoffman Courthouse would create both inefficiencies (separate management, reporting structure, etc.), and potential security risks (if the continuity of these services were to be spread over multiple contractors).   

All responsible sources may submit a quote which will be considered by GSA.
