Service and Maintenance Agreement of Security Electronics System

Tuolumne County is seeking proposals for a service and maintenance agreement for security electronics systems at two detention facilities: the Mother Lode Regional Juvenile Detention Facility and the Dambacher Detention Center in Sonora, California. The Request for Proposal (RFP #RFP-2022-0002) solicits vendors to provide comprehensive preventative maintenance, service, equipment installation, and repairs for electronic security systems, covering both hardware and software components. The scope includes managing 160 doors and 4 gates at the Dambacher Center and 74 doors and 8 gates at the Juvenile Detention Facility. Proposals will be evaluated by a Review Committee using a point-based scoring system across four categories: Completeness of Proposal (25 points), Qualifications (30 points), Service Delivery/Methodology (30 points), and Reasonable Cost of Service (40 points). Key proposal submission dates include optional facility walkthroughs scheduled for June 24 and July 22, 2022, with final proposals due by 5:00 pm on August 5, 2022. The initial contract term is one year, with potential extensions up to four additional years contingent on performance, funding, and continued need.

The procurement includes specific restrictions on potential bidders, particularly regarding current and retired Tuolumne County employees. California and federal laws prohibit current county employees from contracting with their employer, and CalPERS retirees are restricted from performing work similar to their previous employment. Proposers must submit comprehensive documentation including company history, references, service approach, and detailed cost breakdown. The contract requires robust insurance coverage, including commercial general liability, automobile liability, and workers' compensation. Funding is subject to annual County budget appropriations, with the County reserving the right to cancel or modify the agreement if sufficient funds are not allocated. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned, the procurement appears open to qualified vendors capable of meeting the complex security system maintenance and service requirements. The existing infrastructure involves sophisticated electronic security systems across two detention facilities, suggesting a technically complex service contract that will require specialized expertise in security technology maintenance and repair.
