Summary: This contract extension and increase will allow for continuation of unarmed security services to be provided by G4S. This is to ensure the safety of residents and employees of the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center. 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 as for regular JTDC staff. G4S security 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.
Additional time is required to complete and finalize the related Request for Proposal (RFP) process, and an efficient transition to a new vendor. In accordance with a prior federal court order authorizing the former Transitional Administrator to enter into contracts, this contract was previously awarded a Sole Source Procurement pursuant to Section 34-139 of the Cook County Procurement Code.
