<br />DISCUSSION
<br />On May 16, 2017, the City Council executed an agreement with Universal Protection
<br />Service, LP, Dba Allied Universal Security Services, formerly, U.S. Security Associates,
<br />Inc. to provide unarmed security guard services at various City locations for a three-year
<br />period beginning June 1, 2017 and expiring May 31, 2020, with provisions for two one-
<br />year renewal options. The agreement is currently in its final renewal option period, which
<br />is set to expire May 31, 2022.
<br />In preparation for the expiration of the agreement, staff released a Request for Proposals
<br />(RFP) for security guard services on February 9, 2022. It was determined there is a need
<br />for armed security guard services at certain City sites and the RFP was revised to
<br />incorporate an armed guard component. To provide adequate time to complete the RFP
<br />process and thoroughly evaluate the new armed guard component, staff is requesting to
<br />extend the existing agreement with Universal Protection Service for a six-month period
<br />and increase the agreement amount by $1,074,376. Some of the facilities served under
<br />this agreement include City Hall/Ross Annex, Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center,
<br />Corporate Yard, WORK Center, Main Library, Newhope Library, Santa Ana Senior
<br />Center, Park Patrol, and various Water Department facilities.
