Armed Security Guard Services

The Louisiana Housing Corporation is seeking armed security guard services for its facility in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The agency requires an armed guard to be on duty during normal hours of operation to maintain a secure environment. The contractor must ensure continuous coverage by providing a trained replacement guard if the primary guard is ill, late, or otherwise unable to report for duty. The designated guard must notify their supervisor as soon as possible regarding any lateness or absence. The scope of work allows the guard to take two fifteen-minute breaks at 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM, and a thirty-minute lunch break from 12:00 PM to 12:30 PM. The contractor must maintain a paging device, cellphone, or answering service to remain contactable by the agency twenty-four hours per day, with a requirement to return all calls within two hours. Bidders must ensure that all guards are fully trained and familiar with the specific site and expectations before reporting for duty. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget, and the performance of the administrative work will be offsite.
