Security Systems Monitoring, Inspections and Maintenance

Laramie County School District Number One is seeking a vendor to provide comprehensive security systems monitoring, inspections, and maintenance services for its 42 school and department complexes. The Request for Proposal (RFP) 21RP2016 requires an off-site security monitoring contractor capable of providing 24/7/365 monitoring with yearly inspections and preventative maintenance. The contract period will run from May 1, 2021, to April 30, 2024, with potential renewal options for up to three additional years. Proposers must demonstrate the ability to monitor alarm panels, sensors, and provide emergency response protocols while complying with O.S.H.A., U.L., and local safety regulations. The district requires vendors to submit a complete Supplier's Application, detailed pricing, value-added services, and technological capabilities that can integrate with their existing Microsoft Windows infrastructure and 10.0 Gbps internet connection. Proposals are due by March 10, 2021, at 1:00 p.m., and the district serves approximately 14,500 students and 3,185 employees.

The procurement demonstrates a preference for Wyoming-based businesses, with non-resident contractors required to register with state workforce services. Vendors must maintain appropriate insurance coverage and be prepared to provide current licenses and certifications. The district's vendor application process includes specific purchasing policies that vary based on contract value: purchases under $10,000 follow routine procedures, expenditures between $10,000 and $49,999 require at least three informal bids, and purchases over $50,000 necessitate a minimum of three formal bids with Board of Trustees approval. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the security services and the district's size suggest a potentially significant contract value. The procurement emphasizes fair treatment of vendors, maximizing competition, and adhering to federal, state, and local procurement regulations, including ethical guidelines from the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing.
