Comprehensive School Safety & Security Audit - Stratford Public Schools

The Town of Stratford, on behalf of its public school district, is requesting proposals from qualified firms to perform a comprehensive, district‑wide safety and security audit of all schools. The selected contractor will evaluate physical security measures, existing emergency‑response plans, policies, procedures, technology, operational practices, and stakeholder experiences; identify strengths and vulnerabilities; estimate costs for recommended improvements; and produce prioritized short‑ and long‑term action plans that are ready for implementation. A non‑mandatory site walkthrough will be held at Stratford High School on Thursday, October 29 at 3:00 PM. All bid submissions must be delivered in hard‑copy form (electronic bids are prohibited). • Scope includes physical security assessments, policy and procedure reviews, technology audits, and stakeholder interviews. • Deliverables: detailed audit report, cost‑estimate spreadsheet, prioritized action‑plan roadmap, and implementation guidance. • Required experience: prior work on K‑12 school safety audits, familiarity with state/federal emergency‑preparedness standards, and ability to produce actionable recommendations. • Submission format: hard‑copy proposals mailed to the Town of Stratford by the deadline (date not specified in the excerpt). • Evaluation criteria will focus on technical approach, relevant experience, cost‑effectiveness, and ability to meet the district’s timeline.
