Dyan Ayala, Procurement Specialist
City of Fresno, CA
Dear Ms. Ayala and Members of the Selection Committee:

Thank you for considering Allied Universal® for your security needs. After carefully evaluating the requirements of your project, we are confident in our ability to provide exceptional security services for the City of Fresno.

Here are the key highlights of our proposal:
x Local Office Support: Our adaptable local office located at 4672 W. Jennifer Ave., Suite 101, Fresno, CA 93704 ensures that we can meet your evolving security needs promptly and efficiently. Allied Universal® has grown to employ over 530 security professionals, offering extensive security solutions throughout the Fresno area. Our enduring partnership with local law enforcement agencies, is a cornerstone of our operations in Fresno. We are proud of our longstanding relationships. These relationships underscore our deep commitment to the community, local organizations, and law enforcement agencies.

Understanding the unique challenges of recruitment and retention in this market, our local team is dedicated to actively create new local employment opportunities every day, reinforcing our bond with the community, and enhancing our service offerings. Allied Universal offers a unique advantage in an ability to deliver responsive security services at the local level, with national support.
x Experienced and Dedicated Workforce: With a proven track record of recruiting and retaining top-tier security professionals, we are committed to delivering the highest caliber of service tailored to your specific requirements.
x Award Winning Technology
o HELIAUS
® will analyze the Security Professionals’ activity via GPS and schedules to not only better interact with the City and the public, but also to identify and mitigate security challenges such as vandalism, theft and trespassing by responding with metrics allowing teams to identify new leading indicators or refine existing data sets and stay ahead of the curve in addressing security concerns that were previously unidentified or poorly documented.
o Evolv Weapons Detection System. We are excited to introduce an alternative solution to a standard metal detector and X-ray machine. The County of Fresno (Hall of Records and Social Services), Fresno USD, and Table Mountain use this technology because it’s faster, more accurate, and less invasive.

If you have any questions or are ready to set up a meeting to discuss this proposal, please reach out to me by either calling me at 831-682-3335 or email to [email protected].

Sincerely,
Erik Homan, Government Business Development Manager

Application Review and Assessment – We carefully analyze employment history, stability, and relevant experience and qualifications for each specific job opening.

Interviews – Initial in-person interviews assess punctuality and appearance, and clarify points of a candidate's application. We may conduct multiple interviews. Candidates who continue beyond the initial interview also attend our orientation program.

Electronic I-9 and E-Verify – We use E-Verify, the government’s employment eligibility system, to verify identity and proof of eligibility to work in the U.S. for all potential employees.

Management Testing – Management testing involves one or more behavioral assessment tools that help assess a candidates' management abilities, drive, maturity and people skills, as well as evaluate whether they are a good fit for a specific position.

Social Security Trace – We run Social Security checks on each candidate to verify address history and determine what repositories should be included in our criminal background check.

Criminal Background Checks – Before we assign employees to a post, each employee undergoes a criminal records background check (except where that is conducted as part of the state guard licensing agency). Where required, we submit fingerprints to the appropriate law enforcement agency for a detailed background investigation. We also conduct statewide criminal checks as required. Allied Universal only hires individuals suitable for employment in the positions for which they are being hired and who also meet eligibility requirements for a security guard license or credential where required by state law.

National Sex Offender Registry (except CA and NV where such checks can only be done in accordance with state law) – For the most complete and current report, this additional step in the background check process searches the Federal Department of Justice database, which includes real time listings of registered sex offenders.

Pre-employment Drug Testing – Applicants complete an oral 10-panel drug test prior to assignment. Lab urinalysis testing is available at an additional charge.

Motor Vehicle Report – Security Professionals designated to drive a vehicle must have driving eligibility verified by a Motor Vehicle Report. They also complete on-site training before they can operate a vehicle.




 

  


Allied Universal® Response to City of Fresno 2024 22
Security Professional Integrity/Honesty Assessment – We may require behavioral assessments on a pre-placement basis to help evaluate attitudes and behaviors linked to integrity, honesty, trustworthiness, and customer service aptitude. Assessments, available for an additional charge, predict but do not guarantee performance or behaviors.

Education and Employment Verification – Allied Universal will also include specific education and employment verification (for a nominal fee) if the City requires specific checks.

HELIAUS AI Platform to Manage Operations
HELIAUS®, Allied Universal's proprietary platform, is the smart technology of tomorrow that places insight into the hands of Security Professionals to better protect the City’s people, brand, and assets.

Leveraging a sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) engine that uses powerful algorithms to generate risk-averse recommendations, HELIAUS offers a fundamental shift in integrated security solutions. HELIAUS is not just a tour or incident management system, is a comprehensive workforce management solution. With HELIAUS at the center of your security operations, your Security Professionals are always connected and engaged, situationally informed, and armed with the right recommendations to create safer, more secure environments.

HELIAUS - Technology Platform
HELIAUS provides instant post orders, incident reporting, GPS tracking, visitor logging and more.

Every aspect can be tailored to the City’s security program, vertical market, location, business model, or site-specific needs.

HELIAUS consists of two parts--HELIAUS Mobile and HELIAUS portal. Our HELIAUS mobile device allows Security Professionals to share information and acts as a virtual coach on post.

HELIAUS portal provides real-time site and historical information to identify trends and develop future insights.

Customizable Dashboards and Reporting
The HELIAUS online portal, accessible by Allied Universal management as well as City representatives, is the most powerful security intelligence management dashboard
available in the industry. With your configurable and detailed dashboard, your representatives can access all of your data quickly and easily in one place, creating one security
ecosystem for your site.

Widgets available for your dashboards include:
x Tour results
x Incidents
x Officer tracking
x Activity heat maps
x Training and certification compliance
x Post orders
x Business intelligence
HELIAUS allows scheduled and on-demand reporting via text or email, giving the City total control of the information. In addition, we can set up key alerts tied to specific types of reports. For example, if a Security Professional notices an incident while on duty, they can fill out a customized report through our system that will notify key points of contact in real time for resolution. 



 

  


Allied Universal® Response to City of Fresno 2024 31
Quickly Identify Safety and Security Trends
The HELIAUS dashboard will allow you to view historical trends that are customizable by date, category, and location. These insights provide you with a full view of your site, allowing you to adjust resources and responses as needed through the HELIAUS tour and workflow applications.

Configurable Tours and Workflows
While Security Professionals send data to the online portal, they also receive post order instructions in real time. Through HELIAUS, we can program custom workflows to virtually coach Security Professionals when they scan an NFC tag, approach a beacon, or enter a specified GPS zone.

Tasks assigned to areas can include following checklists, taking videos or photos, sending the client an email or text message, answering follow-up questions and more.

Tour Routing
HELIAUS allows for the programming of tours based on each site. Tour schedules determine which zones Security Professionals should visit, what activities should be performed in each zone, and when each zone should be visited. The progress of these tours is tracked in real-time through the portal along with any data Security Professionals capture along the route. If a tour is missed, our security teams are immediately alerted to correct the issue.

HELIAUS allows for two types of tour routes--pre-programmed static tours defined by the security management team and dynamic tours generated based on AI recommendations.

AI-Powered Dynamic Tours
With dynamic tours, our AI engine collects and analyzes data to find trends and potential deficiencies to correct. These recommendations then become actionable by putting Security Professionals in the right place at the right time to help drive prescriptive post orders and better outcomes for your site. HELIAUS recommendations improve your security team's decision making and create efficiencies that reduce the frequency and impact of incidents, creating savings for your business.

Additional Mobile Capabilities
Outside of the tour and activity tracking functions of HELIAUS, it also aids with:
x Incident Reporting – Your security team can create incident reports on the go, filling out key details by typing or simply speaking into their phone. Incident reports are categorized and can be accompanied by photos, videos and additional notes. 



 

  


Allied Universal® Response to City of Fresno 2024 32
x Event Reporting - Similar to incident reporting, this feature allows Security Professionals to document activities such as maintenance issues, slip and fall hazards, suspicious activity and more while on the go.
x Tasks and Messages – Messages can be sent and tasks
assigned to Security Professionals while on duty. This feature keeps the Security Professional in the HELIAUS app while allowing Supervisors to communicate important information such as emergency notifications or special events.
x Visitor and Vehicle Management - Security Professionals can check in or out anyone coming on or off your property.

This configurable set up can collect a variety of information, scan identification, provide access badges, collect license plate numbers, or take photos of visitors and vehicles, while cross checking individuals against our barred visitor
application that utilizes facial recognition. This can help expedite check-in for your employees, contractors, and
visitors.
x Fire and Safety Inspections - Equipping our Security
Professionals with the Fire and Safety module ensures your fire extinguishers, AEDs, first aid kits, and more are fully functional and compliant with industry regulations. The module provides step-by step instructions, real-time documentation, and instant alerts if malfunctions or irregularities are identified x SOS - This feature puts the security professional in immediate contact with 911 in case of emergencies. At the same time, HELIAUS records an event for upload to the cloud and alerts other Security Professionals in the area of the emergency. x Lost and Found - HELIAUS can track any lost or found items, including the reporting party's information, photos, and details of the lost or found item. This capability allows us to notify and verify property is returned to the rightful owner
x Custom Forms - HELIAUS can quickly transform any site-specific forms to be completed and stored inside of HELIAUS. Forms can include a variety of custom fields to ensure all of your required information is collected and properly stored electronically.

Quality Assurance
Allied Universal will review and monitor the City’s security program regularly to ensure maximum operational efficiency and satisfactory performance of contract obligations at all times. We use a number of Quality Assurance tools to measure client satisfaction and identify any opportunities for improvement. These include account audits, performance evaluations and inspections, on-site focus groups, and regular feedback through Allied Universal Voice. We also solicit feedback from and share best practices for on-site safety and hazardous situations with our Security Professionals in order to enhance our level of service, add value to your security program, and ensure compliance.

We have developed and implemented a number of innovative tools, programs and operational practices to help us meet our Quality Assurance objectives.

Operational Initiatives
In addition to our Security Professional Quality Standards, we have implemented key operational initiatives designed to ensure quality remains a top priority for our operations, including:
x Account Standards - All Allied Universal accounts must comply with account standards mutually agreed upon between the City and Allied Universal management. x Account Audits - Allied Universal conducts an annual audit for each account. The audit covers contract compliance, staffing levels and Security Professional deployment, review of post orders and procedures, training, documentation, wage review and billing consistency. x Performance Evaluations - Hourly personnel and management staff receive formal performance evaluations every year. We track all evaluations in our integrated human resources system.




 

  


Allied Universal® Response to City of Fresno 2024 36

Customer and Employee Feedback
Enhancing our quality assurance process and service delivery, our feedback processes provide formal and informal opportunities for valuable information that helps us monitor our frontline performance and identify improvement opportunities.
x Allied Universal Voice - Our formal "voice of the customer" program makes it easy to track client and employee
satisfaction and enhances communication through intuitive real-time surveys that capture feedback, identify trends, and guide continuous improvement initiatives to enhance the value of the City’s security program. Tracking your
experience from day one helps us deliver consistently
excellent service. By collecting and responding to your feedback, we are able to continuously evolve our services to meet your needs. A low survey score on any survey
triggers a Red Alert in our system, prompting management to follow up within 48 hours and take action, as needed. Our closed loop process ensures an action plan will be
developed with you to correct the issues. Our surveys will include:
- Transition assessments that track your satisfaction to identify areas where we can better serve the City and improve our transition processes - Client loyalty surveys to rate your experience with us so we can identify our strengths and opportunities for improvement
- Real-time surveys using our online client feedback tool that allows the City to rate its experience with Allied Universal any day at any time
x Employee Surveys – Ensuring employee satisfaction is essential to our Quality Assurance program. We survey our employees at key touchpoints when they are first hired (on day 3, 15, 30 and 60) using artificial intelligence-enabled text messaging that provides a quick and easy process to measure employee satisfaction and identify any issues that need to be resolved. If issues are reported, our system automatically sends follow-up texts to validate concerns and escalate to the management team. Throughout their employment, all employees have 24/7 access to Allied Universal Voice for real time reporting of any concerns 



 

  


Allied Universal® Response to City of Fresno 2024 37
as well as a third party-operated 24/7 ethics hotline (https://aus.ethicspoint.com) to anonymously report suspected compliance issues without fear of retaliation.

Measuring Results
Allied Universal strives to bring value to every client contract with superior service.
