FROM:
Nils Bentsen, City Manager

Jeremy McDonald, Director of Public Works
Marc Morales, Management Analyst
SUBJECT:
Contract Amendment for Unarmed Security Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council and Board of Directors of the Hesperia Water District (District) authorize the City Manager to approve an amendment to the existing contract with Alltech Industries, Inc. in the amount of $46,184, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $96,184, for unarmed security services.
BACKGROUND
In previous years, the Civic Center and Mojave Corporate Yard have experienced theft and vandalism prompting the continuing need for unarmed security services. While unarmed security services have not completely eliminated theft and vandalism, their presence onsite has continued to deter these events from happening more often. In addition, their onsite presence has helped establish a safe environment for staff that may be at either facility after normal working hours.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The FY 2022-23 contract for unarmed security services was previously awarded to a vendor on May 17, 2022 and, due to inadequate performance, the contract was terminated in October 2022. To continue to provide unarmed security services, the City contacted the next lowest bidder, Alltech Industries, Inc., which was able to hold the original bid amount.
Since Alltech Industries, Inc. began services in November 2022, they have provided excellent service, respond to City inquiries timely, and provided daily service reports that are automatically generated at the end of each shift.
FISCAL IMPACT
A contract amendment in the amount of $46,184 is requested in order to continue unarmed security services through the end of the fiscal year. Sufficient funding exists in the FY 2022-23 General and Water Operating Fund Budget.
ALTERNATIVES
Provide alternative direction to staff.
