Alarm System Monitoring

Bossier Parish Community College (BPCC) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) Number 40003-10582 for comprehensive security system maintenance and monitoring across its campus in Bossier City, Louisiana. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide full maintenance and monitoring of security equipment for a 36-month period from December 6, 2025, through December 5, 2028, with potential contract extensions for two additional 12-month periods. The scope encompasses security systems for multiple campus buildings including Buildings A through J and the Gymnasium, with specific equipment requirements centered on CADDX NX8E Master Control Panels, wireless transceivers, motion detectors, door contacts, sirens, and access control components. A mandatory job site inspection is required for potential bidders, with the bid opening scheduled for September 3, 2025, at 2:00 P.M. CST. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, with key evaluation criteria including the ability to provide 24-hour central station monitoring through an AES Wireless Network and meet specific technical qualifications.

The solicitation requires bidding contractors to have their central station located within 50 miles of the campus and be owned/operated by the burglar alarm contractor. Service personnel must be factory-certified on CADDX equipment and hold a Class D State License from the State Fire Marshall's Office. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are mentioned, the bid appears open to qualified security system contractors meeting the technical specifications. The procurement does not specify a precise budget range or award value, but the comprehensive nature of the monitoring and maintenance services suggests a significant contract opportunity for a specialized security services provider. The potential for two additional 12-month contract extensions indicates the possibility of a long-term business relationship with BPCC, contingent upon satisfactory performance and mutual agreement.
