City of Alameda
This letter is to confirm that the service of providing, training, and managing School Crossing Guards is our single/sole source service. All City Management Services (ACMS) is the only company that exclusively provides private Crossing Guard services. We have diligently and in good faith attempted to identify competitors that solely provide the services associated with and necessary for the operation and management of a full-service Crossing Guard program. To the best of our knowledge no other company exclusively provides a like service in the State of California.
All City Management Services with almost forty (40) years of exclusive experience in this industry is the largest provider of private crossing guard services currently employing over 8,500 Crossing Guards, serving over 320 clients.
Unlike any other potential service provider, ACMS has significant experience as a single service organization specifically founded, organized, and designed to relieve Cities, Police Departments and School Districts of the responsibilities and concerns of operating and managing a crossing guard program. This includes personnel recruitment, background clearances, training, equipment, payroll functions, providing substitute guards, local supervision, administrative functions, investigating any community complaints, problem resolution, ongoing communication with school staff and site safety inspections. In training Crossing Guards ACMS utilizes its proprietary "Employee Handbook for School Crossing Guards". ACMS performance standards and training procedures are now serving as the model for the forthcoming California Safe Routes to School Crossing Guard Training Guidelines.
If you desire additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at 800 540 9290 or visit our website at www.thecrossingguardcompany.com. Thank you for your interest in our services.
Sincerely,
David Mecusker
