County recommends five‑year unarmed event security contract for Alliant Energy Center; annual estimate $500,000
Summary
Committee recommended awarding a five‑year unarmed event security contract (CSC) for the Alliant Energy Center after an RFP; staff said the annual estimate is $500,000, prorated in year one.
Dane County staff told the Public Works and Transportation Committee they recommend awarding a five‑year contract to CSC for unarmed event security services at the Alliant Energy Center.
Kevin (S4) described the RFP process and said the contract offers favorable terms. He told the committee the contract is five years and that staffing needs vary by event: "So events over there ... when we have events in the Coliseum, then we need 75 people." Committee members noted a discrepancy in the fiscal materials: one fiscal note showed $250,000 total while another listed $500,000 annually; staff explained $500,000 is the annual estimate and the current partial year figure is lower because the contract start date is prorated.
Members asked for clarification about event security duties versus ushering; staff said security personnel are unarmed staff who handle weapons detection stationing, front‑of‑stage and loading dock control, while ushers remain county staff focusing on ticketing and guest services. The committee approved the recommendation and will forward it to the county board.
