REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Al Zelinka, City Manager
VIA: Eric Parra, Chief of Police
PREPARED BY: Ingrid Ono, Executive Assistant
Subject:
title
Approve and authorize a one-year contract extension with Universal Protection Services, LP, DBA Allied Universal Security Services for street sweeping parking enforcement services
body
Statement of Issue:
In 2019, Council approved a three-year contract with Allied Security Services to outsource the City’s street sweeping parking enforcement. This contract was awarded through a competitive bid process (Attachment 2).
The current contract allows for two (2) one-year extensions to the contract to continue services. Based on Allied Universal Security Services’ (“Allied”) past performance, staff recommends approving the contract extension for an additional year. Allied has met the performance expectations of the Police Department over the past three years and has been responsive to inquiries during their current contract term.
Financial Impact:
The cost of the initial three years of the City’s contract with Allied was $362,000, $373,000, and $384,000 for a total of $1,119,000. A CPI adjustment for the one-year contract extension will cost $399,272.14. Funding for these services is included in the FY 2022-23 Budget and no additional funding is requested.
Recommended Action:
recommendation
Approve and authorize “Amendment No. 1 to Service Agreement Between the City of Huntington Beach and Universal Protection Services, LP dba Allied Universal Security Services (UASS) for Street Sweeping Enforcement Services” not to exceed $399,272.14 for the next calendar year; and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the attached contract.
end
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve, and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
The City’s current three-year agreement with Allied for street sweeping parking enforcement services has allowed the Police Department to replace five parking control officer positions and decommission three parking control vehicles and maintenance. By contracting for these services, the Police Department was able to realize cost savings while also increasing the reliability of street sweeping enforcement in the City.
As such, staff recommends that City Council extend the service agreement with Allied for an additional year for a total not to exceed amount of $399,272.14. The agreement was procured in 2019 through a competitive bidding process, and following this one year extension, the agreement will run through December 31, 2024.
Environmental Status:
