Protests shall be submitted in accordance with the requirements of this chapter and any directions included in the solicitation, and shall be addressed to the Department Director or designee. Unless otherwise specified in the solicitation, the written protest shall be accompanied by an electronic copy USB flash drive in PDF format. In case of a variance in the content of the written and USB flash drive submittals, the written version shall prevail.

The Project Manager, or an assigned alternate CITY manager in cases where the conduct of the Project Manager for the procurement is called into question, shall conduct the administrative processing of protests filed with CITY, and shall be responsible for the processing, documenting a protest, and recommending a decision to the Department Request For Proposals# 2122- 001
Redondo Beach Transit Center( RBTC) Security Services
12 Director or designee. The Department Director or designee shall request legal counsel to review and advise concerning any legal issues involved in a protest.

The Department Director or designee shall be responsible for overseeing the decision process and for the content of the decision. The Director shall ensure that all relevant parties within CITY have been involved in the decision- making process and shall, as circumstances require, obtain the concurrence of the City Manager or other personnel in a decision prior to its issuance.

CITY may decide a protest solely upon the written submission. The protest submission should, therefore, include all materials necessary to support the protester' s position.

Additional or supplemental materials may only be submitted at the request of, or with the permission of, the Department Director or designee.

If the procurement uses federal funds, a notice of receipt of a protest must be given to the appropriate regional office of the Federal Transit Administration ( FTA). The form of notice may be specified by the regional office.

Protests of the Solicitation Process
A protest related to the technical scope or specification, terms, conditions, or form of a solicitation must be received no later than ten ( 10) working days prior to the date established for opening of bids or receipt of proposals; if the protest addresses an amendment to the solicitation, it must be received no later than ten ( 10) working days prior to the date established for opening bids or receipt of proposals or five ( 5) working days after the date of issuance of the amendment, whichever is later; in no event, however, may a protest of this nature be submitted after bids or proposals are received.

The protest must conform in all respects to the requirements set forth above.

Upon receipt of such a protest, the Department Director or designee shall notify all prospective offerors and other known interested parties of the receipt and nature of the protest, and shall post a notice of the protest on CITY' s procurement web page. Unless the Department Director or designee determines that delay will be prejudicial to the interest of CITY or that the protest patently lacks substantial merit, the solicitation process will be extended pending resolution of the protest.

Protests will be considered and either denied or sustained, in part or in whole, by the Department Director or designee in writing. A written decision specifying the grounds for sustaining all or part of or denying the protest will be transmitted to the protestor prior to the receipt of bids or proposals in a manner that provides verification of receipt.

A notice of the decision shall be provided to all parties given notice of the protest, and posted to CITY' s procurement web page.

Should the protest be upheld in whole or in substantial part, the Project Manager may either ( 1) amend the solicitation to correct the document or process accordingly; or ( 2) cancel the solicitation in its entirety. If the solicitation is amended, the time for receipt of Request For Proposals# 2122-001
Redondo Beach Transit Center( RBTC) Security Services
13 bids or proposals shall be equitably extended to permit all participants to revise their bids or proposals to reflect the decision. If the protest is denied, the solicitation shall proceed as if the protest had not been filed, unless the protester pursues the protest with the Federal Transit Administration ( FTA), or otherwise appeals the decision of the Department Director or designee, as defined below.

Protests received by CITY after the time periods specified above shall be considered untimely and may be denied on that basis unless the Department Director or designee concludes that the issue( s) raised by the protest involves substantial prejudice to the integrity of the procurement process.

Protests of the Evaluation Process
All bidders/proposers will be notified of the recommended award, upon a determination by Project Management staff of a recommendation to be made to the City Manager, or the City Council, as appropriate. This notice will be transmitted to each proposer at the address contained in its proposal form, and shall be posted on the procurement page of the CITY website. Transmittal may be by electronic means or by hard copy. Any proposer whose proposal is valid at the time of the staff determination may protest the recommended award on one or more of the following grounds:
a) That the recommended awardee does not meet the requirements of the solicitation; b) That the bid or proposal recommended for acceptance does not meet the criteria of the solicitation or award; and
c) That the evaluation process conducted by CITY is improper, illegal, or the decision to recommend award is arbitrary and capricious.

The protest must conform in all respects to the requirements set forth above. The protest must be received by CITY at the address specified in the solicitation, no later than five ( 5) calendar days after the date such notification is publicly posted or sent to the bidder or proposer, whichever is earlier. A written decision stating the grounds for allowing or denying the protest will be transmitted to the protestor and the proposer recommended for award in a manner that provides verification of receipt. Such decision shall be final, except as provided in the Appeals section below or by applicable law or regulation.

Evaluation of Protests
A protest decision should ordinarily be written and published within ten ( 10) working days of receipt of the protest. The Department Director or designee may extend the response period if additional time is required to gather and evaluate information necessary for the decision or for other good cause.

Upon receipt of a protest, the Project Manager shall notify parties involved in the procurement as identified above, and such CITY personnel or others as may be appropriate or necessary to determine the validity of the protest. Copies of the protest submittal, or portions thereof, may be provided to the notified parties as appropriate.

The Department Director or designee may request additional written information from the protestor or other parties, as necessary to determine the validity of the protest. A formal Request For Proposals# 2122- 001

14 or informal hearing may be held. If a formal hearing is held, testimony shall be given under oath and a transcript or electronic recording of the proceeding shall be made; the transcript or recording shall be provided to the protestor and made part of the protest record.

The Department Director or designee shall redact from any submission under the protest process information which has been identified as proprietary, and which, in his/her judgment, is protected from disclosure under the State Public Records Act prior to furnishing such submission to any other party, unless the person furnishing the information consents, in writing, to distribution of the information to other interested parties.

Decision
Upon receipt and evaluation of all relevant information, including any pertinent law or regulations, the Department Director or designee shall prepare a decision. The decision will contain four parts:

IV. DETERMINATION - States the decision and any remedy or subsequent action, e.g. cancellation of the procurement, resulting from it. Ordinarily, each issue raised in the protest will be discussed separately in Parts III and IV.

Decisions shall be signed and issued by the Department Director or designee.

The City Manager or designee shall review the written record of the protest and may conduct such further investigation as is deemed necessary or appropriate to reach a decision.

3. Technical ApproachlWork Plan

3. Technical Approach/ Work Plan
Provide a detailed narrative addressing the technical approach/work plan proposed to perform the work described in Attachment 2 Scope of Service requirements, and demonstrating the understanding of and ability to meet City' s needs and requirements.

Approach and Work Plan
a. Describe the approach and work plan for completing the tasks specified in the Scope of Service to ensure service quality. Provide detail including use of personnel, shift and staffing plans, and procedures for supervision, schedules, lunch and other breaks for security staff, and related staff issues.

AGS understands that the City is currently seeking unarmed security guard services at the new Redondo Beach Transit Center ( RBTC). Our firm is committed to meeting the highest standards in securing the City's sites with the best qualified guards, in order to protect them against security threats such as unauthorized access, harm included by criminals with the intent of damaging the sites and more, AGS employs a tailored approach philosophy catered to the exact needs and challenges of the City. Our overall approach plan can be divided into three stages: Inception, Implementation, and Iteration (3i).

1. Inception Stage ( I- 1)'.

In the Inception Stage, solutions and best practices are formulated in response to project specifications, client needs, and inherent challenges of the environment-tobe- secured.

Inception of our approach begins with thoroughly understanding the project specifications in the solicitation document.

Then, beyond what is provided to us by the City, strategic security planners of AGS identify key challenges inherent to the client' s security environment; these challenges can be geographical or demographical in nature. Challenges not readily apparent to the client or even other security firms are easily analyzed by leveraging our pre-existing security expertise, Subject Matter Experts ( SMEs), and extensive independent research.

Furthermore, upon award we employ a philosophy of tight-knit stakeholder engagement; by establishing clear and consistent lines of communication we can better understand client needs and expectations.

The second half of inception deals with crafting specific solutions and best practices in response to the project requirements, inherent challenges, and client needs we have already identified. AGS will focus on the most effective solutions unique to our firm, drawing resources and expertise from our nationwide infrastructure and owned affiliate firms. By drawing from multiple sources, our approach becomes multi-faceted and develops the flexibility to exceed all client expectations.

AMERICAN OWNED I 1 I AMERICAN OPERATED

3. TechnicalApproach/Wbrk Plan

2. Implementation Stage ( 1- 2):

Upon award, we begin implementing the solutions identified in the Inception Stage.

Key elements of this stage are efficiency and a swift, streamlined process; we are known for quick transitions, even on major contracts where we have little infrastructure.

3. Iteration Stage ( I- 3):

The Iteration Stage is the ongoing maintenance of contract performance levels and quality of service over time. The key elements of this stage are comprehensive monitoring and supervision practices, and the implementation of effective complaint resolution. The Iteration Stage is synonymous with our Quality Control Program, which makes use of Iterative Quality Feedback and Total Quality Management philosophies.

Sample testing and measuring techniques are supported by a good Quality Assurance/Quality Control ( QA/QC) system. AGS innovatively:

Supports walk-throughs before and after resolution has been met.

Uses QA to understand what needs to be re- examined in the future; "managing by fact" is an important constant.

Plays the role of the Auditor in the QA process to ensure accountability.

Gathers information on similar incident cases to reduce vulnerabilities.

Automates processes and procedures when possible when gathering the above information.

To ensure adequate staffing, our firm implements a five-step employment plan to all new contracts
Five-Step Employment Plan
AGS has over 23 years of experience providing security guard services in both the government and private sectors. AGS's client-first approach is present in all aspects of our services, including the type of guards we employ. We recognize that our guards must be as varied as our client base, and it is reflected in our recruitment, training, and placement of our guards. For example, AGS guards that work in retail have a different skillset than AGS guards that work in government facilities, and we would never put a retail guard on a post in a government facility. AGS understands that each guard needs to be trained to properly service the clientele they are assigned to protect. From the recruitment to training stages, we have our City's best interests in mind.

AGS understands that at the heart of this contract is the competence, reliability, and trustworthiness of its security professionals. Accordingly, AGS goes through many stages, including rigorous and selective screening and vetting, in order to guarantee the most competent, reliable, and trustworthy security personnel that are qualified and licensed to carry out their duties.

AMERICAN OWNED 12 1 AMERICAN OPERATED

3. TechnicalApproach/W'ork Plan
Step One: Recruitment
We will recruit potential candidates by running advertisements on various online platforms, allowing us to reach the largest number of candidates possible at little to no overhead cost, leading to cost savings for City.

Also, online recruitment will lessen environmental impact by reducing paper and plastic waste.

Step Two: Screening
Given how important proper character and temperament are to being a security officer, we maintain a strict and rigorous screening process that is comprised of three stages, each of which screens various aspects of our applicants. Screening occurs in three stages:

1. Automated Screening
Aspects ScreenedNetted: Qualifications/ Licenses/Education/ Experience Using a proprietary software, we will create an online checklist comprised of both City' s and AGS' s required qualifications for candidates, which will be checked against all incoming job applications. Inadequate and incomplete applications will be screened out, and qualified applications will be saved to a short list.

Automated screening can also be done continuously 24/ 7 without human assistance, which saves AGS time and money, allowing us to give City our best price.

2. In- Person Assessments
Aspects ScreenedNetted: Character/Temperament/Personality We will contact all short-listed candidates to come in for an interview with AGS employees from multiple departments, including the recruiter, a Human Resources representative, and the scheduler.

The purpose of such an intense review process is to screen out not only unqualified candidates, but those that may become troublesome further along in their employment. This will reflect in our work with City—we endeavor to assign only the most courteous and competent officers to City' s sites, and a thorough in- person assessment will help us do just that.

3. Background Checks S Verification
Aspects ScreenedNetted: Honesty/ Trustworthiness/ Credibility We will also conduct background checks on qualified candidates to check for any automatic disqualifications such as felonies, DUIs, dishonorable discharges, crimes of violence, unlawful sexual behavior, acts of domestic violence, any crime of child abuse, and any misdemeanors or felony crimes of moral turpitude. We will use state and federal databases ( e. g., FBI, DOJ, etc.) to assist in our background checks. We will make all information found in our background checks available to City.

AMERICAN OWNED 1

3. Technical Approach/Work Plan
Background checks will be conducted through an independent background check and will also include the following:

4. Social Security Number Trace
Federal Criminal Records
State Criminal Records
Criminal Records from other States if the employee disclosed, or the background check identifies, that the employee lived in another state in the last seven years
National Sexual Offender Registry Search
We will also conduct a series of tests prior to employment, which may include:
e Physical ExaminationlTesting

4. Drug Urinalysis Testing
E-Verify
Step Three: Hiring
We will offer employment to all qualified candidates that pass all three stages of screening. Upon hiring, all employees must attend orientation that includes sexual harassment training.

AGS's Dedication to Fair Employment
AGS is dedicated to offering employment fairly to all individuals, and we have policies in place to reinforce this.

Non- Discrimination
AGS has zero tolerance for discrimination against any employee or any applicant for employment because of age, race, religion, color, handicap, sex, physical condition, developmental disability, sexual orientation or national origin. This policy shall be enforced in all aspects of personnel interaction, including but not limited to the following:
recruitment and employment, promotion, demotion, transfer, compensation, selection for training including apprenticeship, layoff and termination.

Equal Opportunity
AGS intends to offer equal opportunity to veterans, the handicapped, and the disabled.

We will also reasonably accommodate religious observances and practices when this can be done without undue hardship on the conduct of our business.

To implement these policies, AGS and its officials will continue to carry out our commitments to:

Recruit, hire, train and promote persons in all job classifications without regard to race, sex, color, religion, national origin, age sexual orientation, veteran status, and/or handicap.
4 Base decisions on employment to further the principle of equal employment opportunity.

C. Ensure that all personnel actions (including, but not limited to compensation, benefits, transfers, layoffs, retire from layoffs, or return from disability or pregnancy leave) are administered equally.

AMERICAN OWNED 1 41 AMERICAN OPERATED

3. Technical"Approach/Work Plan
G Ensure that promotion decisions are in accord with principles of equal employment opportunity by presenting valid requirements for promotion.

Step Four: Training
All AGS employees are subject to the following types of training:

Type Timeframe Description
Initial Training Before AGS provides all security officers with comprehensive assignment pre-assignment training, which is necessary to familiarize Officers with the normal protocols. Training will include the following:

Role of Security Officer
Legal Aspects
Emergency Situations
Observation and Awareness
Security Breach Procedures
Customer Service
C. Facility Layout
Report Writing
Access Control
Patrol Procedures
Site-Specific Before AGS will create a customized training program for Training assignment officers assigned to City. Depending on City' s needs, the program may expand. This will be created upon
award once we can correspond with the City and
receive feedback.

Annual As needed Retraining and recertification will occur as needed and Retraining in consideration of task changes. For example, an and officer moved from a roving patrol post to a storefront Recertification fixed post will be given additional customer service training.

AGS will keep all certifications and licenses current.

Training Gap Regularly A training gap analysis ensures that all officers Analysis continue to meet ours and the City' s standards.

We work with our clients to identify and address these
gaps ( using Training Gap Analysis)—which are often
understood in the following categories:

General Job-Related Training

3. Technical'Approactt/Wdrk Plari
4 Human Interaction/Customer Service
S Post Order Compliance
Communications
Emergency Response
Step Five: Staffing
To properly staff the City' s contract and comply with all requirements of its security personnel, we will ensure that all officers assigned will be appropriate for the contract by utilizing a checklist of the City's requirements. Officers must fulfill all checklist items before being considered for assignment to this contrail.

Requirement Met?
Be able to read, write, speak, and understand English V Be 18 years or older V
Have United States citizenship and/or legal residency V Maintain a neat and clean appearance V
Be licensed in California to perform private security. V Be certified to provide in first aid, AED, and CPR V
An example checklist used to verify assignment compliance.

In addition, we will address any concerns brought up by City' s stakeholders during the transition period ( e.g., locality to site, behavioral concerns, etc.) and staff appropriately.

We recognize the City' s right to remove any guard who does not meet the proper standards for customer service and performance.

Consistent Coverage Plan
AGS understands that gaps in security coverage can occur at any time, opening up security vulnerabilities and causing worry and anxiety for the client. Fortunately, we plan for emergency coverage before it is needed and have ample resources at the ready for emergency and additional coverage. Through this Consistent Coverage Plan, AGS fills these gaps and ensures the client both continuous security coverage and peace of mind.

We can provide this same peace of mind to the City through our Consistent Coverage plan, and can fulfill the following requests and more:

Back-filling requests
Emergency service requests
Expansion of service requests
Additional coverage requests
Flex-Force Officers—To guarantee a breakless continuity of quality coverage, we keep a reserve of local Flex-Force Officers who have also been trained at City's site and thus are already familiar with their tasks and duties.

AMERICAN OWNED 16 I AMERICAN OPERATED

3. Technical Approach/Work Plan
Roving Supervisors—To immediately address coverage gaps, we have roving supervisors on duty during all coverage hours to be available as a temporary replacement while a Flex-Force Officer is en route.
24/7 National Dispatch Center—AGS can handle emergency requests immediately through our 24/ 7 National Dispatch Center, which is active twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Dispatchers are trained to be friendly, helpful, and understanding in times of emergency.

Automated Scheduling—AGS can be alerted to gaps in coverage caused by sick leave, vacation time, etc. through our automated scheduling system, MITC.

Procedure to Resolve Unforeseen Gaps in Coverage
If for any reason a post is left uncovered, the following procedure will be followed:

1. The uncovered post will be reported to the security/facility manager of the building and arrangements for a replacement will be communicated.

2. The roving supervisors will be alerted to the uncovered post and one will arrive as a temporary replacement.

3. An on-call Flex-Force Officer will be contacted from the reserve and, if it is confirmed they will be covering the post, the security/facility manager will be informed of the replacement.

4. The Flex-Force Officer will be put on the schedule in the missing officer's place and, once they arrive at the post, will relieve the roving supervisor.

This process ensures that at no time is the post left uncovered for an extensive length.

Proposed Operational Programs and Methods
b. Discuss proposed operational programs and methods, including but not limited to hiring procedures, recordkeeping methods; training and evaluation; drug testing policy and other related information particular to providing security for this site. Examples– Provide samples of reporting system, post orders, field photos, equipment and other relevant information to illustrate the company's capabilities for security services.

As a firm we have devoted much of our efforts to bring security to multiple sectors. All AGS clients benefit from the versatility of bespoke solutions tailored to clients' needs and environmental nuances.

AGS possesses a variety of unique capabilities such as the following:

Automated Officer Scheduling and Management( MITC)

Among many advantages to MITC integration, MITC allows us to fill positions quickly with real-time publishing; they implement improved time management with prompts; no-shows, over and under-schedule alerts and alarms; and the service supports any device smartphones, tablets, PC).

Improved MITC facilitates communication of schedules in real time to employees, Communication managers, and client representatives. Communication features such as schedule prompting can improve time management by sending emails or text messages with schedule reminders prior to an employee's shift.

Cost Reduction By automating workforce management, MITC reduces overhead costs incurred by the time and manpower needed for scheduling; this saves time and money. Additional benefits of this system include making obsolete those expensive employee badges, time cards, and timesheets, saving between $ 5 and $ 9 dollars per badge in hard costs alone; elimination of unauthorized overtime, extended breaks, early departures, late arrivals and more; and buddy-punching becomes obsolete.

Innovative Auto-reminders for employees reduces the possibility of missed shifts or Compliance late arrivals. This system also enables MITC to send officers messages to Measures update necessary information such as post orders and ensuring compliance with requisite training and certifications. All messages are time-stamped to confirm that officers heard the Supervisor' s directive( s).

Universal MITC's technology allows officers to go online via cellular phone or Accessibility computer to check their schedules and payroll at any time. Not only does this add to system efficiency, but also significantly decreases traditional paperwork-related errors/malfunctions.

Increased MITC' s online scheduling system provides the ability for our clients to log in Transparency and view their site scheduling, which officers are covering shifts, and that and Auditability their posts are properly covered. Further, any client looking to conduct audits will have access to most of the records they need online.

The following is an outline of AGS' s Transition plan:

Pre-Transition
Transition Team Assigned
Will include site-specific recruiters, trainers, and managers/ supervisors.

Final Selection of Managers and Supervisors
Recruitment Ads
As soon as we receive an official notice to proceed from the City, we will begin running online advertisements for recruitment through various platforms. These initial advertisements will not specify the client or any sensitive client information that may indicate the nature of the project prior to its official inception.

Pre-Employment Screening (Automated?
Automated employment screening is an ongoing process which occurs whenever we receive an employee application. Typically, we receive applications shortly after we begin running recruitment advertisements in the pre-transition phase.

AMERICAN OWNED I
10 1

AMERICAN OPERATED
9 3. Technical Approach/Work Plan
Prior to transition, we will create an online checklist of the City, requirements and our own requirements for security officers. We use a proprietary software that compares the checklist criteria with each employee application we receive, and then automatically sorts applications in terms of best fit.

The most qualified applications are aggregated in a short-list of potential candidates, who are then called in for a second stage employment screening in- person during the transition period. All other qualified candidates who do not make this short list are held in reserve, while unqualified candidates are deleted.

Our automated system streamlines the process and reduces overhead costs, savings which we pass to our clients. It also allows the process to remain ongoing and constant throughout the transition phase, allowing us to maintain a constant influx of qualified candidates if needed.

Note that AGS will initiate this Transition Plan when the City's current provider is notified of its end date. In addition, The City will provide us with a notice to proceed.

Week 1
On- site Review
AGS liaisons and transition team members assigned to The City' s locations will visit and conduct site surveys. Comprehensive site surveys will determine and analyze site layouts, nearby infrastructure, critical vulnerabilities, environmental factors, key entrances/ exits, and other local considerations.

Important factors to note will be the presence of parking space for AGS officers, restroom facilities, resources for facility- specific emergency plans ( e.g. location of stairways, fire alarms, fire extinguishers, etc.), approximate square footage of the site area in need of coverage, gaps in the perimeter, and ideal patrol routes to optimize coverage.

With the permission of The City's management, AGS would like to take photographs and video of the various job sites. Our purpose will be to include this media in the orientation of the incoming Security Officers. We feel they will help familiarize the Officers with the site layout and surroundings as theyAassume their new roles.

Occupational
SHA1
Safety
and HearthAdminitntation
We wish to assure the City that AGS fully supports the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970.

AMERICAN OWNED j 11 j AMERICAN OPERATED

3. Technical'Approach/Wdrk-Plan
OSHA develops guidelines and issues regulations for safety and health standards and conducts inspections of workplaces for compliance. In instances of noncompliance, it issues citations and proposes penalties. In the 1980s and 90s, OSHA took a more active role in protecting against health hazards in the workplace, seeking to limit the exposure of workers to hazardous substances such as lead, asbestos, pesticides, and toxic chemicals and noise. As part of our on-site review, we will evaluate your OSHA procedures to ensure compliance.

Stakeholder Engagement( Meet with the City's Representatives) Alongside the On-Site Review, AGS liaisons/transition team members will meet directly with the City representatives, often the security or building manager of the facility. Key topics covered during the initial meeting will include the City's representatives' personal expectations for guard duties and performance, their areas of concern, common on- site procedures (e.g. locking/unlocking the facility, using their preferred software for administrative functions, etc.), general organization of their large- scale inventories, and any other resources available and pertinent for officers to use in their daily functions.

As a product of these meetings, AGS would like to receive a copy of the most current post orders for all job sites. If not, we would like to receive the most current version under development. Post Orders must be approved prior to Week 3.

Establish Lines of Communication
Once our liaisons have engaged personally with the City representatives at each site, our liaisons will seek to acquire contact information for establishing direct lines of communication; contact info will be organized into a hierarchy with a primary contact and an escalating list of secondary contacts.

Additionally, we will give the City representatives a toll-free number for our national dispatch center. Our 24-Hour Communications and Dispatch Center is a State-of-theArt, multi-million- dollar facility monitored by a team of highly qualified dispatchers and is remotely viewable by AGS corporate management for greater oversight.

AGS will begin exchanging information with the City as soon as we receive a Notice to Proceed. Our automated system reduces overhead costs allows us to pass savings on to our clients.

Contact Incumbents
Immediately we will obtain a list of incumbent officers from all job sites who are qualified for retention ( in compliance with both the City and AGS standards). AGS will not contact them prior to the incumbent firm receiving a notice of the transition. Once a notice has been received and the transition plan activates, we will immediately contact these qualified incumbents and offer them their" Right-of-First- Refusal" within the first week. They will be made aware of their new pay and benefits and any other changes in the contract.

1 3. Technical' Approadh/Wdrk Plan
Should they sign-on with our team at this point, their information will be recorded, and we will have them sign a commitment statement giving them until the second week of transition to change their minds; should they remain in their position past the second week, their assignment will be guaranteed. This ensures a finalized picture of our incumbent retention halfway through transition and prior to the final assignment of security personnel in the third week, while giving us enough time in the early recruiting phases to adapt to any last-minute changes.

This process could last until Week 1, 2 or later, depending on the incumbent officer.

Week 2
Second Stage Employment Screening ( In- Person)
New recruits who have passed our automated employment screening in the pretransition phase will be called in for in- person interviews.

Finalize Security Manual and Post Orders Specific to Each of the City's Site Finalize Training and GA Program
Final Assignment of Security Officers
Week 3
Stay Apprised with Stakeholders
AGS will meet with the City stakeholders on a regular basis. In these meetings, AGS will brief the City officials about milestone completion. In addition, any adjustments or concerns from The City may be addressed quickly.

Initial Orientation/ Classroom Training
Each new Security Officer assigned to this task will attend one week of orientation and classroom-based training off premises. During this time, the incoming Officers will learn AGS' s training curriculum as well as the City - specific courses.

Issue Uniforms
Uniforms will be issued at no cost to the City. Each Security Officer will receive complete uniforms per RFP requirements. Uniforms will be refit regularly to maintain a professional appearance.

Week 4
Work Schedule Developed
The AGS Transition Team will develop and finalize a work schedule for all Security Officers assigned to the various job sites. The schedule will ensure that all scheduled hours are covered by a Security Officer. In addition, the schedule will allow for continuous coverage, allowing for overlap, meal breaks, etc.

Re-Fit/Re-Issue Uniforms
As needed, AGS will refit and reissue uniforms to our Security Officers. This will ensure that our force will always look professional to both our City client and the public.

Final Transition Review I Stakeholder Sign-off
AGS will review the Transition status with the City stakeholders on an ongoing basis.

As finalization nears, the Transition Team will capture and process any last- minute revisions received from the City management. Once the Transition Plan is approved, sign-off from all stakeholders will be obtained. Once finished, AGS will assume complete ownership and control of this task in the fifth week prior to transition start for each individual site.

Proposed Electronic Security Personnel Monitoring System d. Describe in detail the proposed electronic security personnel monitoring system intended to use during the performance of this contract. Proposed system shall provide reports that document patrols, and confirms that security officers are performing as expected.

Field Force Manager ( FFM) is a top-of-the-line Electronic Security Guard Monitoring/ Tracking System designed to provide an efficient and automated method to manage the services provided to our clients. The FFM software requires a tablet computer tablet) or GPS-enabled phone that supports FFM applications (i. e., iOS, Android, and/or BlackBerry). Crucially, AGS managers and City stakeholders may log in online using a computer, tablet, or smartphone to view the information generated by FFM. FFM has the ability to perform the following actions:

Geolocation: Provide geolocated checkpoints that can be read by a cell phone or tablet provided by AGS to our staff
AGS will provide a tablet to our staff to utilize FFM. (Note: We will provide a cell phone instead if the City prefers this option.) FFM' s GPS tracker function is a tracking device that allows AGS management and City stakeholders to monitor our Security Guards' movements during the course of their shifts in real-time. Additionally, FFM allows AGS management and City stakeholders to use a playback feature to get a visual depiction of a device' s route after the tour of duty.

3. Technical Approach/VVork'' PTan
Geolocated checkpoints can be easily created. Alternatively, AGS also offers a barcode reading feature that can be customized to the City' s needs. Events, incidents, prescheduled tasks, and other functions along with the standard patrol station can be programmed and used by the officers while on patrol. FFM can create a barcode report similar to Detex or Deggy) that can also be texted, emailed, or stored in the database for download. FFM's capabilities make it a highly customizable security solution that can meet all City needs regarding geolocated checkpoints.

Incident reports: Monitor incidents in real-time by gathering multimedia data image, voice, notes) with tag to security personnel that filed that incident FFM allows AGS management and City stakeholders to create customized reports, including incident reports. These reports are made available to Security Guards in the Forms Menu. Once a report has been filled out and the Security Guard presses Submit Form, the report will be sent to the portal and emailed to pre-selected personnel instantly.

Security Guards can observe and report incidents in real-time by gathering multimedia data (image, voice, notes) with a tag that links them to the report they are filling out.

These multimedia data will be part of the report, and a timestamp will be generated to indicate when the report was filed. FFM' s real-time customizable reports enable AGS management and City stakeholders to see and hear what our Security Guards experience. FFM' s modern, user-friendly capabilities will help ensure that all pertinent information is documented in our reports.

E• Guard patrol monitoring: Ensuring that personnel follow the patrol path that was designated by PO
As mentioned previously, FFM' s GPS tracker function is a real-time tracking device.

Its capabilities will help ensure that personnel follow the patrol path designated by their Post Orders. FFM allows AGS management and City stakeholders to create Geo Fences. Alerts will be automatically generated and sent out to pre-designated personnel when Security Guards enter or exit a designated Geo Fence.

All of our devices are programed with an email account, so our Security Guards are capable to get messages from our 24/ 7 Communication and Dispatch Center, supervisors, managers, and customers. In addition, FFM comes equipped with a 2- way messaging application that allows parties to send and complete " Job Requests" directly to and from the device. Consequently, upon receiving an automated alert that a Security Guard is not following a designated patrol path, our 24/7 Communication Center will contact the Security Guard directly to implement a corrective action. If needed, the issue will be immediately elevated to AGS supervisors and/or management for a quick and efficient resolution.

Timekeeping: Automatic record of check-in and check-out of personnel in realtime Security Guards can indicate when and where they will start or end their shifts at the push of a button in real-time. These check-ins can be evidenced through Geo Fencing alerts. In addition, breaks and lunches can also be tracked on FFM. Security Guards can also indicate any location changes necessitated by special jobs or events. AGS AMERICAN OWNED 1 151 AMERICAN OPERATED

management and City stakeholders can obtain time sheets from the management portal.

Reporting: Creates reports of scanned and missed points, incidents, patrol duration
FFM can easily generate reports of scanned and missed points, incidents, and patrol duration alongside all required reports (e.g., Daily Activity Reports, Incident Reports, Condition Reports, and other data). The automatically generated features in these reports, such as the GPS location, date, and time tags are essential in providing irrefutable accuracy of the event. Reports and other crucial data can be saved on both the device's memory and a " cloud" database. Specialty reports can be saved as a document file on each individual device. Training Manuals, Post Orders, Emergency Contact Information, and other literature can be added to each tablet. f• Easy export of report files
FFM allows for the easy export of report files, which can be exported en masse quickly and efficiently from individual devices and/or the cloud database. 6 Configurable client access portal for the geolocation tracking software that provides basic reporting functionality, as well as historical dab of patrols and travel patterns
FFM is fully customizable to the City's needs. AGS will provide the City will a configurable client access portal for FFM, which will provide basic reporting functionality as well as historical data of patrols and travel patterns. Searches cart be filtered to streamline operations.

Incident Report Sample
Please see the following pages for a sample daily log report generated via Field Force manager. AGS security officers create these throughout their shift by scanning barcodes along their patrol routes and taking pictures documenting their shifts. All pictures and barcode scans are time- stamped and geo-logged.

The Scope of Services is comprehensive, but it is only through in- depth dialogue with City stakeholders and site surveys wherein we can synthesize new ideas to improve the Transit Security Center Program.

During the transition period prior to contract start, we will work to discover any avenues for improvement via:

On-site surveys that assess every site for vulnerabilities, areas of concern, perimeter weakness, and other concerns to address through proper coverage Periodic meetings with stakeholders in which concerns originally overlooked or omitted from the Scope of Services can be addressed
In our mission to fully satisfy the City through full- service security services, we encourage the City to assist us in discovering areas of concern and crafting solutions collaboratively.

NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
American Guard Services, Inc. (AGS) was incorporated in 1997 under the laws of the state of California.

AGS' primary business is to assist its clients in the development and implementation of their security programs. AGS' customer base includes both the private and the governmental sectors. AGS as a whole provides uniformed and plain- clothed security officers to mare than 300 Industrial, commercial, public and government sector customers.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers cash in operating bank accounts, cash on hand and short-term securities purchased with maturity ofthree months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable: The Company records receivables at the amount invoiced to customers for services rendered. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables by considering a customer' s financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivables previously written off are recorded as gains when received. Management believes that an allowance of doubtful accounts of$ 75, 000 at December 31, 2018 and 2017 are adequate.

Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost. When management sells or retires an asset, its cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective asset accounts with any resulting gain or loss included in operations. Leasehold improvements are to be amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes required lease periods and renewals that are deemed to be reasonably assured. The Company calculates depreciation using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the applicable assets ranging from 3 to 15 year. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to costs and expensed as incurred. Expenditures far renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: The Company reviews its long- lived assets for impairment whenever an event occurs that indicates impairment may exist. The carrying value of intangible assets is based on management' s current assessment of recoverability. The Company evaluates recoverability using both objective and subjective factors. Objective factors Include management' s best estimates of projected future earnings, cash flows, analysis of recent sales and earnings trends.

Subjective factors include competitive analysis and the Company' s strategic focus. No impairment loss has been identified for year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Intangible Assets: Intangible assets consist of customer relationships which are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 15 years. The Company evaluates the remaining useful lives of intangible assets each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. 7 AMERICAN GUARD SERVICES, INC.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES( Continued) Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes fees for services rendered and invoiced to the customer, at contractual hourly rates and rental of equipment. Service fees recognized but unbilled of 457,638 and 5894,895 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, were included in accounts receivable in the accompanying balance sheet.

Income Taxes: The Company has elected " 5" Corporation status for Federal and state income tax purpose. Under this provision, the Company doesn' t pay Federal income taxes, and operating income and losses are passed through to the stockholders. State income taxes are provided for based upon earnings reported for financial statement purposes at the" S" Corporation rate of about 1. 5% to 7% at December 31, 2018 and 2017.

The Company' s policy is to recognize tax positions in the financial statements when it is more-likelythan-not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. As of December 31, 2018, the Company' s annual tax filings for the prior three years are open for examination by Federal agencies and up to four years by state tax agencies.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Subsequent Events: The Company has evaluated subsequent events through 8/ 12/ 2019, the date these financial statements were available to be issued, and has determined that no events or transactions need to be recognized or disclosed in these financial statements, except as disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements and notes
Recently Issued Accounting Standards: In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board( FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update ( ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers:

Topic 606. Under Topic 606, the entity is required to recognize revenue upon transfer of goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. Management is currently assessing the Impact of Topic 606 on the financial statements. The updated standard is effective for annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases ( Topic 842). The guidance in this MU supersedes the leasing guidance in Topic 840 Leases. The main difference between previous GAAP and Topic 842 is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 for nonpublic business entities, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption Is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of this standard on its financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2019
NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
American Guard Services, Inc. ( the Company or AGS) was Incorporated in 1997 under the laws of the state of California. The Company' s primary business is to assist its clients in the development and implementation of their security programs. The customer base includes both the private and the governmental sectors. AGS provides uniformed and plain-clothed security officers to more than 300 industrial, commercial, public and government sector customers. As of December 31, 2019, AGS provides services throughout United States of America.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ( U. S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to, but not limited to, the determination of depreciation and amortization expense.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of financial statement presentation, the Company considers all highly- liquid financial instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable: The Company records receivables at the amount invoiced to customers for services rendered. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables by considering a customer' s financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivables previously written off are recorded as gains when received. Management believes that an allowance of doubtful accounts of$ 75, 000 as of December 31, 2019 was adequate.

Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or lease terms. The estimated useful lives of the assets are:

Furniture and fixtures 7 years
Equipment 5 years
vehicles 5 years
6 AMERICAN GUARD SERVICES, INC.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2019
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES( Continued) Property and Equipment ( continued): The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate impairment may exist and the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates recoverability using both objective and subjective factors. Objective factors include management' s best estimates of projected future earnings, cash flows, analysis of recent sales and earnings trends. Subjective factors include competitive analysis and the Company' s strategic focus. An impairment loss would be recognized when the estimated future cash flow from the use of the asset and its eventual disposal is less than its carrying amount. No impairment loss has been identified for 2019.

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to costs and expensed as incurred, while major renewals and betterments are capitalized and are subject to depreciation and amortization over the estimated useful lives.

When property and equipment are retired or sold, the cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations.

Intangible Assets: Intangible assets consist of customer relationships and covenant not to compete which are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 15 years. The Company evaluates the remaining useful lives of intangible assets each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization.

Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes fees for services rendered and Invoiced to the customer, at contractual hourly rates and rental of equipment. Service fees recognized but unbilled of 605, 289 at December 31, 2019 were Included in accounts receivable in the accompanying balance sheet.

Advertising Costs: Advertising costs, except for costs associated with direct-response advertising, are charged to operations when incurred.

Income Taxes: The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, has elected under the Internal Revenue Code to be taxed as an S Corporation. In lieu of corporation income taxes, the stockholders of an S Corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of the Company' s taxable income.

Therefore, no provision or liability for federal income taxes has been included in these financial statements. The state tax rate for Subchapter S Corporations varies. 7 AMERICAN GUARD SERVICES, INC.

December 31, 2019
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES( Continued) Income Taxes ( continued): The Company uses a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Benefits from tax positions are recognized in the financial statements only when it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more- likely-than-not recognition threshold are recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more- likely-than- not recognition threshold are derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. At December 31, 2019, the Company did not have a tax position that failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold.

The Company' s tax years that remain open and are subject to examination by jurisdiction are:

Federal: 2016 to 2019
State: 2015 to 2019
Pending Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ( FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update ( ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ( Topic 606), requiring an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U. S. GMP when It becomes effective and permits the use of either a full retrospective or retrospective with cumulative effect transition method. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015- 14 which defers the effective date of MU 2014-09 one year making it effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. In May 2020, the FASB deferred the effective date of MU 2014-09 one year making it effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the effect that the standard will have on the financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued MU 2016-02, Leases ( Topic 842). The guidance in this ASU supersedes the leasing guidance in Topic 840, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. In July 2019, the FASB voted to delay implementation of Topic 842 for private companies until the annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. On May 20, 2020, the FASB approved one- year effective date deferral of MC 842 for private companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The guidance requires companies to apply the requirements in the year of adoption using a modified retrospective approach. The Company has not yet adopted the standard, and the management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of MU 2016-02 on the financial statements. 8 AMERICAN GUARD SERVICES, INC.

NOTE 11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID- 19 outbreak as a pandemic, which has spread across the globe and impacted worldwide economic activities. In response, many states and local governments began a series of restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home orders, and advisories and quarantining of people who may have been exposed to the virus.

The COVID- 19 crisis has impacted the Company business since the Company provides security for major cruise lines and ports throughout the United States, and all cruise operators have ceased operations due to COVID- 19. The cruise line/ port industry represents approximately 40% of the Company' s business revenue. In addition, the Company provides crossing-guard services for many school districts, which have also shut down without the prospect of re-opening for the remainder of the school year. Furthermore, the Company provides security services for many government agencies, including city halls and government buildings throughout the United States, and they have also been shut down indefinitely. Although COVID- 19 has directly impacted the Company' s business segment of cruise lines and ports, the Company has been able to recoup the costs and maintain profitability by expanding its services with some of its largest customers in new states and Ventura County, California. Although the full financial impact of COVID- 19 may not be known at this time, the outbreak could have an adverse effect on the Company' s financial statements and its operations for the year ending December 31, 2020.

In May 2020, the Company entered into a$ 15, 000,000 Business Loan Agreement with revolving line of credit with Active Universal Capital which bears an interest rate at 6% per annum and is personally guaranteed by the stockholders and secured by accounts receivable with a maturity date of May 1, 2023.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through November 6, 2020, the date on which the financial statements were available to be issued.
