Description

The State of California Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking qualified vendors to provide unarmed security guard staffing for its headquarters in Sacramento. The contract covers continuous weekday coverage (6 am‑6 pm) with a three‑guard staffing model, optional temporary extended coverage, and strict compliance with California wage and benefit regulations. Bidders must submit a completed rate sheet, certifications, and numerous compliance forms (e.g., DVBE, CUF, CA Civil Rights, Darfur Act). The award will be based on the lowest responsive, responsible bid. • Provide three unarmed guards per day, 8‑hour shifts, to cover 12 hours each weekday. • Guards must hold a valid California BSIS Guard Card and meet Government Code §19134 compensation thresholds. • Contractor must supply patrol‑scanning equipment, weekly electronic patrol logs, a 24‑hour contact line (1‑hour response), and maintain specified insurance limits. • All subcontractors (if used) must be disclosed on the Bidder Declaration and meet CUF and DVBE requirements where applicable.

Budget estimate

$500,000 – $800,000

The solicitation does not disclose a total contract value, but the rate sheet indicates an estimated billing rate around $35 /hr and a staffing level of roughly 520 guard‑hours per month (≈6,240 hrs per year). Over a three‑year term this yields approximately 18,720 hrs. Multiplying by $35 /hr suggests a contract value near $655,000. Accounting for potential variations in rates, additional overhead, and optional extended coverage, a realistic earnings range is roughly $500,000 – $800,000.
