#29 The Governor and Council on motion of
Councilor Shea, seconded by Councilor Wieczorek, and further on a roll call vote of: Councilor
Burton – yes, Councilor Shea – yes, Councilor Hollingworth – no,
Councilor Wieczorek – yes, Councilor Pignatelli – no,
voted to approve the request to enter into an agreement with Securitas Security Services USA, Inc., of Portland, ME to
provide security services at the State Military Reservation in Concord, NH
during the period of July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2010 with the option for two
one-year renewals, in the amount of $786,843.30 per year for a total cost of
$2,360,529.90. A contingency is included
in the contract amount. 100% Federal Funds.
Councilor Hollingworth voted no on this item and submitted the
following comments: My no vote is not against providing security;
however, I do not believe Securitas Security Services
USA Inc is the most qualified and they had the highest cost to carry out the
$2,360,529.90 contract. Several correspondence I received informed me that the company and
comments recorded for bids was not recorded as stated, and one company that bid
on the contract charged that they did not receive the total bid package which
resulted in a lowering of their score. I
believe we need the most qualified security and a process that is open and fair
to find the most qualified security company.
