BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) utilizes a third-party security services firm to provide security services at both treatment plants including the Administration Building, Mount Langley property, and outlying pump stations. These services are intended to minimize risk and to protect people, infrastructure, and operations against threats of injury and loss or damage by criminal, hostile, or malignant acts.
In September 2016, the Board of Directors approved a one-year contract with Securitas Security Services, USA for Contract Security Services with four one-year renewal options. The contract has been renewed twice, with the second renewal period set to expire on October 31, 2019. In anticipation of the expiration of the current contract, staff issued a request for proposals (RFP) for prospective security firms in June 2019 and has exercised a portion of the remaining renewal option with Securitas through December 31, 2019.
