Community Development Agency <br />www.santa-ana.org/cd <br />Item # 16 <br />City of Santa Ana <br />20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br /> Staff Report <br />November 16, 2021 <br />TOPIC: Agreement with Patrol Solutions, LLC for Security Guard Services for Downtown <br />Santa Ana and Civic Center area <br />AGENDA TITLE: <br />Agreement with Patrol Solutions, LLC for unarmed security guard services for Downtown <br />Santa Ana and Civic Center area (Revive Santa Ana Program) <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Patrol Solutions, LLC for <br />unarmed security services for Downtown Santa Ana and Civic Center area, for a one- <br />year term, in the amount of $185,990, beginning November 16, 2021 through November <br />15, 2022, with an option of two one-year extensions, for a total aggregate amount not to <br />exceed $545,000, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and <br />City Attorney. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The City of Santa Ana’s Downtown (DTSA) and Civic Center area are composed of a <br />variety of businesses, residential apartments/lofts, historical properties, schools, non- <br />profits, government offices, parking structures/lots, parks and plazas where thousands of <br />people visit. Safety and security is a priority and Downtown has four full-time dedicated <br />Santa Ana police officers, parking structure security, and, prior to the pandemic, a security <br />presence throughout Downtown Santa Ana. The parking revenue that previously funded <br />security guard services was depleted because of economic decline associated with the <br />COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the limitation of parking revenue funds, DTSA has gone <br />without security guards since May 2021. <br />With available funding through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), security guard <br />services for the Downtown is being proposed again this year. This service agreement is <br />in line with ARPA regulations, which will help recover the economy within a business <br />district that has been financially impacted by the pandemic. In August 2021, the City of <br />Santa Ana’s Community Development Agency released a Request for Proposal (RFP) <br />#21-099 for unarmed security guard services. The City received 20 proposals and 13 met <br />the required qualifications.
