Cole County opens bids for 2025–2030 security guard services
Summary
Cole County staff opened and read bids for security guard services covering 2025–2030. Seven firms were listed; no award or evaluation decision was made during the session.
An unidentified speaker announced the opening of bids for Cole County’s security guard services contract for 2025–2030, saying, “We have the bid opening for 2025–2030 security guard services.”
The speaker then read the list of companies that submitted proposals: Code 3 Security and Investigation; PWST Global Enterprises; Shield Defense Agency; Gateway Security Service; Sidell Security; Secure Security Services; and Securing America. The session record shows the bids were opened and read into the record but did not include any discussion of award criteria, bid amounts, or a decision on which firm would receive the contract.
The bid opening is a procedural step in the county’s procurement process that publicly documents which vendors submitted proposals. The transcript does not specify the solicitation or contract number, the estimated contract value, or the next steps for evaluation and award. No motions or votes were recorded on the floor regarding an award during this session.
Cole County staff did not identify themselves by name in the transcript. The record therefore attributes the announcements and the read list to an unidentified speaker. The county’s procurement office typically evaluates bids after opening; this transcript shows only the opening itself.
Next steps usually include a written evaluation, clarification requests to bidders if needed, and a recommendation to the governing body before any contract award. Those procedural steps and any award timeline were not specified in the transcript.
