Committee approves $196,100 town‑hall security contract for Walden Security
Summary
The bids and purchases committee unanimously approved a one‑year, $196,100 contract (with up to four one‑year renewals) to Metropolitan Security Services, doing business as Walden Security, to provide SLED‑certified armed and unarmed guard services at Town Hall.
The bids and purchases committee voted unanimously to award a contract to Metropolitan Security Services, doing business as Walden Security, to provide armed and unarmed SLED‑certified security guards at Town Hall for $196,100 for the first year with an option to renew for up to four additional years. Staff told the committee that price was only one of six equally weighted evaluation factors and that a three‑member evaluation team ranked Walden Security as the best value, most responsive and responsible bidder.
"Staff therefore recommend awarding the contract to Walden Security in the amount of $196,100 to perform the security guard services at town hall," said Miss Harness, the staff presenter. Committee members asked about contract length and whether existing personnel would be retained; staff answered that the initial term is one year with options to renew for four additional years and that current personnel would likely be offered interviews but the town could not guarantee rehiring. The committee moved, seconded and approved the award by voice vote.
