Agreement with U.S. Security Associates for Unarmed Security Guard Services May 16, 2017 Page 2 Firm Location Average Score Annual Proposed rpp G4S Secure Solutions (USA) Inc. Anaheim 85 $ 1,486,628.54 U.S. Security Associates Fullerton 83 $ 1,210,638.00" GSSi, Inc. Wilmington 82 $ 1,413,051.04 Cypress Security LLC Santa Fe Springs 82 $ 1,352,447.88 Due to budgetary constraints PRCSA staff recommended reducing staffing levels at the Main Library decreasing the annual cost to $1,131,732. Following the evaluation process, staff evaluated the level of service needed at the Main Library. Due to budgetary constraints, PRCSA staff adjusted the number of guards at the library. PRCSA staff believes that with the higher level guard and changes in how guards patrol from US Security Associates, the change in staffing will result in equal or greater service. This reduction adjusted the U.S. Security Associates proposed annual fee from $1,210,638 to $1,131,732. In addition, PRCSA will be adding one new security guard at Birch Park to serve the Senior Center. The evaluation committee determined that the proposal submitted by U.S Security Associates was thoroughly responsive to the RFP (Exhibit 2). U.S. Security Associates is highly qualified, reputable, and has proven experience with similar contracts, as demonstrated by its municipal service contracts with the County of San Diego, County of Mohave and City of Tucson. In addition, U.S. Security brings state -of- the -art technology that will provide real -time incident reporting and transparency of operations, including compliance tracking, GPS tracking, and daily tracking to ensure officer accountability. Each guard assigned to the Santa Ana account will have a smart phone allowing them to check in for tour patrols and provide incident reports instantaneously. U.S. Security Associates has demonstrated the organizational credentials, resources, and experience necessary to provide the City of Santa Ana's desired level of service. Based on the information provided in the proposal, interview, and references, staff has determined that U.S. Security Associates will provide the best quality of service at a competitive cost to the City and therefore requests Council execution of the agreement for unarmed security services (Exhibit 3). Staff has added an option for the City Council to consider extending the current agreement with G4S under the same terms of the agreement on a month -to -month basis. This option will provide the City additional time that is needed to properly transition between service providers and develop options on alternative service delivery models that provide operation efficiency and budgetary cost savings. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #6 Community Facilities & Infrastructure, Objective #1 (establish and maintain a Community Investment Plan for all City assets), Strategy C (invest resources and technology to extend the service life of existing infrastructure to protect the City's investment and support a high quality of life standard). 25K -2
