Description
The Bureau of Reclamation is seeking vendors to provide 40 hours per week of unarmed security patrol along the Folsom South Canal. The patrol will cover the entire length of the canal, which is approximately 26.7 miles long and runs from Nimbus Dam in Rancho Cordova, CA to Angle Road in Winton, CA. The contractor will be required to provide a uniformed, unarmed security officer with a vehicle to patrol the canal. The officer will be responsible for contacting individuals trespassing on Federal land, inspecting gates, locks, and fences, and reporting any damage or unauthorized water diversions. The contractor will also be required to submit a daily patrol log to the Government's Contracting Officer's Representative (COR).
Some key points to consider are:
• The canal is located on Federally owned and managed land, and the contractor will need to ensure that the officer is aware of and complies with all relevant laws and regulations.
• The patrol will require the officer to drive on unpaved roads and in areas with limited access, so a four-wheel drive vehicle may be necessary.
• The contractor will need to provide evidence of their ability to meet the stated requirements, including previous experience, personnel qualifications, and business size status.
• The response due date is Tuesday, April 07, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time, and all interested parties must respond to any subsequent solicitation notice published on www.sam.gov.
