Summary & Background (First sentence includes Agency recommendation. Provide an executive summary of the action that gives an overview of the relevant details for the item.)
This request is to amend the existing contract to revise the hourly rates for certain position titles and to allow the Police Department to identify and make adjustments to security staff personnel for each position title. This will ensure sufficient staffing and security coverage is provided for all County facilities. Allied Universal is experiencing guards leaving for higher paying jobs with other security companies as well as difficulty in recruiting new guards due to their below market wages. No additional funding is required. These actions will not increase the current spending authority allocated. We will utilize a rotation or patrol with guards rather than the traditional single location model. This will enable us to use fewer guards with the same number of locations patrolled, thus not needing to increase spending.
The contractor is required at all times to provide and maintain an adequate number of properly trained personnel and an adequate quantity of necessary supplies and equipment to ensure the full and timely performance of the obligations and function of this contract. Security coverage is currently provided at approximately fifty (50) County facilities.
Community Impact: Provide a safe and secure environment for our employees, customers and community.
Department Recommendation: Recommend approval of this item.
Project Implications: Maintain security coverage for all County facilities.
Community Issues/Concerns: There are no community issues/concerns.
Department Issues/Concerns: To ensure a safe and secure environment is provided for our employees, customers and community.
