SUBJECT:
Contract Amendment for Unarmed Security Services with Alltech Industries, Inc.
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. for an additional $164,400 for a revised not-to-exceed contract amount of $579,364 and approve a one-year contract extension for unarmed security services.
BACKGROUND
The City and District have continued to use unarmed security patrols after business hours and weekends at the Civic Center and Public Works Corporate Yard to minimize theft and vandalism, and provide a safe environment for staff after normal business hours, which has been proven to be beneficial. The current vendor, Alltech Industries, Inc., began services in November 2022 and has provided excellent service, responded to City inquiries in a timely manner, and provided daily service reports that are automatically generated at the end of each shift.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Public Works requested bids for Fiscal Year 2022-23 from local vendors located in the High Desert that could provide security services, with two (2) bidders responding. The contract was originally awarded to Infinity National Services. Due to repeated break-ins and two (2) vehicles being stolen from the Public Works yard, the contract was terminated with Infinity National Services for lack of performance.
Alltech Industries Inc. was the second bidder on the list from the original RFB in April 2022 and was contacted and agreed to hold the original bid price to finish out the 2022-23 fiscal year contract for security services. Alltech Industries completed the contract through June 30, 2024. Then, in the 2024-25 fiscal year, Alltech Industries, Inc. agreed to continue security services with the City of Hesperia with a (6.5%) increase to pricing. Staff researched their request through the consumer price index (CPI) and found it to be acceptable, as there was an increase for the same services noted at (7.1%). With the (6.5%) increase and no security issues finishing out the 2023-24 fiscal year, the City of Hesperia, with council approval, chose to extend Alltech’s contract into fiscal year 2024-2025.
All mentioned above, with Alltech Industries, they have chosen to hold pricing with no increase for fiscal year 2025-26 to continue excellent security services with the City of Hesperia. As a note, there has not been a security breach at any city-owned locations monitored by Alltech Industries from their original start date of November 2022.
