Explanation
Global One Security and Investigations, Inc., was awarded the security contract for contractual services in the Municipal Court Building in the fall of 2001, pursuant to Bid Proposal SA-000093-GM, opened publicly on October 11, 2001. During the first year of the three year contract, which commenced February 1, 2002, with one additional option year, Court Security Management complained to Court Administration that Global One Security was in non--compliance of several formal bid specifications subsequent to the initial three months of the contract. Repeated attempts by Court Security Management with Global management were unsuccessful during the remaining nine months. Court Adminstration in conjunction with Court Security Management intended to formally address these issues at the inception of the second year of the contract approximately February 1, 2003. However, it had since been discovered that Global One Security failed to provide the required Performance Bond in the initial year of the contract, nor have they been able to acquire this bond during the modified four month contract, February 1, 2003 through May 31, 2003. The court subsequently exercised its contractual right and issued a thirty day contract termination notice on May 31, 2003, effective June 30, 2003.

BID INFORMATION: Informal bids were sent to four (4) vendors to fulfill the remaining seven (7) months of the second contractual year, July 1, 2003 through January 31, 2004. Court staff will be meeting in the very near future with the Division of Purchasing to formulate specifications for the formal bid process for a new three year contract, to commence February 1, 2004, with one additional option year.

INFORMAL BID INFORMATION:

Willo Security, Inc. $15.55/Hour X 10,776 Hours = $167,566.80
U.S. Securities, Inc. $15.60/Hour X 10,776 Hours = $168,105.60
Allied Security No Bid Returned
Burns Security No Bid Returned
