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