Summary: This contract extension and increase will allow for continuation of unarmed security services provided by G4S to ensure the safety of residents and employees of the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center. Their services include: night watch, escorted movement and control, direct residential supervision, and emergency staffing on a 24 hours per day, 7 days per week basis.
The company’s services are necessary to maintain the appropriate staff to resident ratio (which varies according to the activity and time of day) when security staffing levels drop due to unexpected absences, terminations, and resignations. G4S employees are required to comply with the same educational and training requirements regular JTDC staff.
On 10/25/2017, the Office of the Chief Procurement Officer notified the court that the firm selected through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process could not be awarded for failure to comply with the Cook County Code of Ordinances related to a contract with the Cook County Health and Hospital Systems. As such, the RFP results have been set aside, necessitating this contract amendment with G4S. This extension will provide time for the stakeholders to evaluate what the next steps moving forward will be.
This is a Sole Source Procurement pursuant to Section 34-139 of the Cook County Procurement Code. G4S Secure Solutions (and its predecessor firm) was selected by the Office of the Transitional Administrator of the JTDC pursuant to federal court order.
