Security System Repairs- Falcon Dam

This notice is for informational purposes only. The International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) awarded a sole source contract to Integrated Security Solutions for urgent security equipment maintenance, repair, and replacement of existing equipment. This was awarded as a sole source due to the urgent nature. Accordingly, due to the proximity to the Mexican border the agency was at risk of vandalism, disaster, and terror attacks. Falcon Dam and Falcon Power Plant are located on the border adjacent to the Mexican town of Nuevo Guerrero which is one of the areas used and frequented by drug cartels. Numerous deadly gun battles have been fought in Nuevo Guerrero within several hundred yards of the facility and have been witnessed from Falcon Dam and the Falcon Power Plant. One danger that IBWC personnel face at Falcon is criminals crossing to the US side on IBWC property as they try to flee from Mexican Federal forces or cartel members. Our security personnel have caught several persons using our property to cross from Mexico into the United States. Some of these persons have been armed with various weapons
