Body
Staff Recommends: The Approval of the Attached Resolution.
Explanation:
The Police, Public Utility, Parking, and Parks Recreation and Cultural Arts Departments have a continued need for armed and unarmed security for various locations throughout the City.
The current Blanket Purchase Agreement with Pro-Secur ends May 6, 2021.
City staff recommends that it is in the City’s best interest to continue with Pro-Secur for one (1) year to allow the City to prepare for a significant budget increase for security services primarily due to the minimum wage increase.
City Staff has conducted a preliminary market research analysis, which shows a significant potential increase in costs for these services among other firms who have previously proposed to provide these services and firms under state contracts.
Pro-Secur has provided security services for the past two (2) years in an acceptable manner.
Section 38.41(C)(9) of the City Code provides that when the City Commission declares by a 5/7ths vote that competitive bidding and competitive proposals are not in the best interest of the City, such purchases are exempt from the competitive bidding and competitive proposal requirements.
Fiscal Impact:
This contract includes an approximate increase of 17% to the hourly rate of armed security and approximately 7% increase to the hourly rate of unarmed security. The overall estimated annual cost of $566,534.75 is substantially lower than other security firms.
A portion of the funding for this contract is available in the FY 2021 Operating Budget in the following account numbers:
