Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The City currently utilizes unarmed uniformed security guard services for approximately 32 City owned facilities and for miscellaneous events as needed. The existing Unarmed Uniformed Security Guard Services Contract No. PRC00953 with Universal Protection Service, dba Allied Universal will expire August 24, 2025.

Policy Considerations: The recommendations in this report are in accordance with the City standards for non-professional service agreements and security-guard service contracts (City Code Chapter 3.56).
City Code Section 4.04.020 and Council Rules of Procedure (Chapter 7, Section E.2.d) mandate that

unless waived by a two-thirds vote of the City Council, all labor agreements and all agreements greater than $1,000,000 shall be made available to the public at least ten (10) days prior to Council action. This item was published for 10-day review on June 6, 2025, as required.
Economic Impacts: None.
Environmental Considerations: California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): This report concerns administrative activities that do not constitute a “project” as defined by the CEQA Guidelines Sections 15378(b)(2) and 15378(b)(4) and are not subject to the provisions of CEQA.

Sustainability: Not applicable.
Commission/Committee Action: Not applicable.
Rationale for Recommendation: The existing contract for unarmed uniformed security guard services, PRC000953, with Universal Protection Service, dba Allied Universal, will expire on August 24, 2025. On January 21, 2025, the City posted a RFP P25061521006 to solicit proposals from qualified contractors for the ongoing need for these services. This RFP closed on February 27, 2025 and the City received a total of 13 proposals. Nine (9) proposals were determined to be non- responsive as they did not meet the minimum qualifications of the RFP. An evaluation panel made up of City and County staff reviewed the four (4) responsive proposals and scored each proposal according to pre-determined evaluation criteria which included qualifications and experience, capacity and capability, employment practices, cost, RFP response, and references. After proposal evaluation, the two highest-ranking contractors were interviewed, and additional scores were added for presentation, critical problem-solving skills, and communication. After all evaluations and interviews were complete, the evaluation panel determined that Universal Protection Service, dba Allied Universal is the highest-ranking proposer. As the incumbent, Allied Universal will utilize the current security professionals working at City sites.
The recommended not-to-exceed amount of $42 million includes estimated annual price increases aligned with the increases to the City’s Living Wage Ordinance and/or increased costs associated with the contractors collective bargaining agreement and contingencies for increased levels of service.

3. BACKGROUND CHECKDescribe in detail the extent of your company’s background check on new employees.Allied Universal evaluates candidate background and experience, as well as communication and interpersonal skills, as key elements in determining a candidate’s fit for a position. We also offer customized screening options at client request, including any additional background checks that City of Sacramento may require for a specific location or role. After carefully reviewing candidate background, we invite the most qualified candidates for formal interviews with local branch recruiting teams.Allied Universal’s standard background screening for healthcare includes: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.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. 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.FACIS Level III –The gold standard for exclusion screening, verification and monitoring to include OIG, SAM, FDA, DEA, TRICARE, FBI, U.S. DOJ, U.S. Treasury, U.S. Dept of State, and Medicaid. OIG/GSA –An annual run to identify individuals excluded from federally funded healthcare programs for a variety of reasons, including Medicare and Medicaid fraud. Pre-employment Drug Testing –Applicants complete an oral ten-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.

For patrol services, does your company also check into the employee’s DMV driving record? If yes, please explain the process.Allied Universal performs criminal background checks for its candidates.The background check process includes a criminal records background check, where each employee undergoes a check before being assigned to a post. If required, fingerprints are submitted to the appropriate law enforcement agency for a detailed background investigation. Statewide criminal checks are also conducted as required. Allied Universal uses Sterling Talent Solutions for these background checks, a partnership that has been in place for more than ten years. For most background checks, results are returned within 2-4 business days of complete submission. However, as the background checks must pull criminal history and records data from the counties where applicants have resided, background checks can take longer in areas where records are not digitized, and this can delay the return of a successful background check. We work closely with our HR team and applicants to ensure data is submitted correctly and the process is monitored so we can notify applicants as soon as background checks are cleared. Yes. For Security Professionals designated to drive a vehicle, Allied Universal verifies driving eligibility through a Motor Vehicle Report. These professionals also complete on-site training before they can operate a vehicle.

For wireless offload, the in-vehicle application must be able to support 256 bit Rijndael encryption of the offloaded data. 34. The in-vehicle software read/hit wireless transmission shall support buffering to a queue should the connection temporarily be lost. 35. The on-board LPR software shall analyze each frame without requiring external input/output triggering to read the license plate in the camera’s Field of View (FOV).
36. The on-board LPR software shall be able to detect and read license plates with embossed characters, flat characters, and any kind of paint/background. 37. The on-board LPR software shall be able to detect and read license plates with a maximum angle of 45° in front and 70° in depth. 38. The on-board LPR software shall contain an OCR equivalent optimization system to improve discrimination between the similar characters for the license plates found in the City of Sacramento39. The on-board LPR software shall be able to detect and read several types of license plates such as vehicle license plate with one line, two lines, different alphabets on same plate, etc. 40. The on-board LPR software shall be a font independent system. Consequently if license plates contain several font types or new fonts are used in the area, the system shall handle a license plate with these new fonts. 41. When in-vehicle mapping is enabled, user shall be able to navigate in the map view, zoom in and zoom out of the map view. 42. The in-vehicle application shall support the capability to manually capture a still image with the overview camera. 43. The in-vehicle application shall support the capability to automatically capture a vehicle context image with a manually entered license plate read. 44. The in-vehicle application shall support live feed of the context camera such that a user can maneuver the vehicle to optimize the context image before a manual capture. 45. When reviewing reads and hits, a user shall be able to search for a full or partial license plate in the database, with OCR equivalents and fuzzy matching, to determine if a particular license plate has been captured in the system. 46. The in-vehicle application shall be configurable for read privacy control (With read privacy control, a stored read does not include a license plate image cut out, a context image or a license plate interpretation. A stored hit will include a license plate image cut out, a context image and a license plate interpretation irrespective of the configuration of read privacy control.) 47. In order to safeguard the chain of custody, the in-vehicle application shall support data watermarking, which electronically marks every read and hit. If this information were to be modified in any way, the corresponding watermark would not match the data and this would be displayed in the Back-Office application for review. 48. The in-vehicle application shall be able to display statistics on the stored reads and hits including, but not limited to, count per camera and count per hit type. 49. The application shall be responsive in comparing a captured license plate against multiple and voluminous databases with less than a 2 second response to a query of a database containing up to 14,000,000 entries.
50. Upon receiving a hotlist hit, the in-vehicle application will display the following information:a. Image cut out of the license plate.b. Color context image of the vehicle.c. License plate interpretation.d. Camera identification.e. Date and timestamp.f. GPS coordinates or, as an option, street address and map view of the location of the hit.g. Hotlist attributes including name, priority and color.h. Multiple hit indicator i.e. has this read license plate been matched against more than one hotlistentry.i. Other fields on the hotlist such as plate state or category, VIN, etc.51. Any hits which have not been acknowledged by the user shall be displayed as unresolved hits inthe interface until they are acknowledged or resolved. The system must continue to process licenseplate data in the background and all captured data must be stored.52. The system shall alert the user of subsequent hits while reviewing hits.53. The system shall be configurable to limit the number of hits against each hotlist category.54. Upon notification of a hit, if the user determines the license plate from the hotlist does notcorrespond to the actual license plate cut out image, the user shall be able to edit the license plateinterpretation. The original hit is automatically rejected and the edited license plate is automaticallychecked against the hotlist database.C. Interfacing requirements.1. The System must be compatible with the current Back Office application used by the City ofSacramento, the Genetec Security Center, version 5.. An authorized City of Sacramento supervisor or manager shall be able to do the following functions:a. Configuration of embedded LPR systems.b. Live event monitoring from the vehicle.c. Reporting on any of the LPR vehicles.d. Dynamic graphical map viewing.The new LPR equipment must communicate directly with Security Center without any“middleware” to download the encrypted hotlists already exiting in the Security Center software.The reads and hits must be sent in real time to the Security Center software and stored in theSecurity Center databases.Contractor’s LPR vehicles must appear in Security Center as individual and separate vehicles.Grouping all reads/hits under a single vehicle entity in Security Center will not be an option.
