BACKGROUND:
Since 2005, the City, in partnership with a broad range of non-profit organizations, social service agencies, and faith-based organizations, have worked together to operate and program the Hulen Place Homeless Service Campus. The Campus provides a centralized environment to provide an array of housing and supportive services designed to assist homeless individuals and families to address their issues and achieve housing stability. The Campus offers a coordinated system of care that includes strategic outreach, crisis intervention, interim housing, and coordinated case management. A central theme of the Campus is a collaborative focus on nationally acclaimed best practice strategies and is administered consistent with the City' s adopted Housing First Plan and other rapid re-housing approaches.
In 2019, staff released Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 7651 for unarmed security guard services at the Hulen Place Homeless Service Campus. The City identified Power Security Group Inc. as the most responsive organization.
On December 17, 2019, the City approved an Agreement for Unarmed Security Guard Services with Power Security Group Inc. for security guard services in the amount of $94,080 for a one-year term with the option to renew for an additional one-year term.
On March 23, 2021, the City approved a First Amendment to Agreement for Unarmed Security Guard Services for $152,000 for a one-year term.
In March 2022, Power Security Group Inc. was requested to add 24-hour security guard services at 2881 Hulen Place when the project was under rehabilitation and the Access Center parking lot due to break-ins and theft occurring on these properties.
DISCUSSION:
To provide ongoing security guard services at City-owned properties located at 2800, 2801, 2880 and 2881 Hulen Place (Hulen Properties) and to ensure the safety of staff and guests, the Office of Homeless Solutions issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 2208. The RFP was broadcast to 500 external vendors and 114 City of Riverside vendors. The City received 15 responses and identified Power Security Group Inc. as the most responsive organization. The security guard company will be providing security guard services seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The proposal results for RFP 2208 are summarized in the table below:
