Date: August 19, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: John La Rock, Community Services Director
By: Edwin Ohanian, Administrative Analyst | [email protected] Subject: Community Services — Approve Second Amendment to Contract Services Agreement for Encampment Prevention Overnight Security Guard Services.
Expenditure: Not-to-Exceed $200,000 (General Fund-Measure SST Fund).
RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation of the Community Services Director that City Council approve a second amendment to the contract services agreement with Absolute International Security, Inc. of Irwindale, CA (C2023-124), in the amount of $200,000, for a new not-to-exceed amount of $619,912.32, to provide encampment prevention overnight security guard services at various city parks and facilities and extend the contract term for a one-year period beginning September 12, 2025 and ending September 11, 2026.
FUNDING
Funding is available in the Measure SST Fund’s fiscal year 2025-26 operating budget.
DISCUSSION
In 2023, the Community Services Department initiated overnight unarmed security guard services to enhance park safety and compliance with closure hours at select City parks. Following a successful two-month pilot with California Panther Security and subsequent extensions through August 2023, a competitive Request for Proposals process led to the award of a one-year contract to Absolute International Security, Inc. (AIS) in November 2023, with options for two one-year extensions.
Since commencing services in November 2023, AIS has effectively patrolled Columbia, El Nido, Entradero, Los Arboles (Rocketship), Torrance, Victor, Walteria, and Wilson Parks on a rotating basis seven nights a week from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Adjustments have been made as needed, such as shifting patrols from Walteria to Sur La Brea Park to address higher activity levels, and targeting areas like Entradero Park with extended on-site presence to deter recurring after-hours use.
Operations have proceeded as planned, with AIS providing detailed daily reports on encounters - including after-hours users, unhoused contacts, occupied vehicles, coyote sightings, and TPD callouts - which are compiled weekly and shared with the City's Homeless Outreach Team, Park Rangers, and City Council. These efforts have supported effective education and enforcement, fostering compliance without escalation in most cases. Given the program's success in 1 City Council
August 19, 2025

2 maintaining park safety and regulatory adherence, staff recommends exercising the option to extend the contract with AIS for an additional year.
The previous two contract years with AIS were funded by the Fiscal Year 2022 Economic Development Initiative Community Project Funding Grant (FY22 CPF) through the Office of Congressman Ted Lieu. The FY22 CPF allocated $1,000,000 in grant funding for the Torrance Homeless Response Encampment Infrastructure Project. Eligible expenses include administrative, planning, operations, and maintenance costs, including City staff time in administering the grant. This new amendment with AIS will be funded by the Measure SST Fund’s fiscal year 2025-26 operating budget as part of the City’s homelessness response efforts.
Accordingly, it is the recommendation of the Community Services Director that your Honorable Body approve a second amendment to the contract services agreement with Absolute International Security, Inc. of Irwindale, CA (C2023-124) in the amount of $200,000, for a new not-to exceed amount of $619,912.32 for a one-year period beginning September 12, 2025 and ending September 11, 2026, to provide encampment prevention overnight security guard services.

Attn: Mr. Edwin Ohanian
Re: Notice of Service Rate Adjustment
Dear Mr. Ohanian,
Thank you for choosing AIS for your security needs. We appreciate your business.
Please accept this letter as a formal request for a service rate increase effective September 12, 2025, through September 11, 2026.
Current Rate New Rate (Effective September 12,
2025)
Regular Unarmed Rate $30.68/Hour $31.62/Hour
Overtime/Holiday Rate $46.02/Hour $47.43/Hour
Regular Unarmed with
Vehicle Rate $34.97 /Hour $36.04/Hour
Overtime/Holiday Rate $50.31/Hour $51.85/Hour
Below are outlined reasons why the above adjustments must be made:
The service rate aligns with the Consumer Price Index for Los Angeles area, which averaged between August 2024 to May 2025 at 3.07%.
The service rate increase serves to compensate for both the mandatory living/minimum wage requirements as well as to further stabilize the manpower needed to service your contract.
Please feel free to contact us to discuss any questions you may have. As always, we are here to help, and again, we appreciate the opportunity to serve you.
Sincerely,
Lisa Phan, Controller

Two unarmed secu- rity guards pairolled four parks throughout their shift to assist with alerting the public to abide by City park hours ánd regutations. The security guards were tasked with patrolling across the various parks throlghóuithe shift to ensure the public did not remain in parks after hours. Although the security guards maintained ã patrol of four parks in one shift, the City could request for different parks to be patrolled and serviced. These patrols reported to the City' s Park Rangers, providing detailed reports of connections and encounters. They were also connected wit' n tfie City' s Police Department, in the case of non- compliance from any individual( s).
Through the City' s existing Outreach Coordinator and this pilot program, the City has determined that City parks änd facilities are vulnerable to homeless encampments. The overnight security services staff will make äontact with people experiencing homelessness in City parks and facilities and refer them to the City' s existing Homeless Response Team. Thii outreach will occur during park and facility closure hours of 10 PM- 6 AM, a time period in which outreach resources are typically not available in the City of Torrance. This RFP is seeking firms that will provide unarmed security guard services that may patrol four or more City parks and facilities in any given nigfrt witn the goal of preventing homeless encampments and assisting with alerting the public to abide by City park hours and regulations.

Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, and Other Responsibility Matters
1. By signing and submitting this proposal, the prospective primary participant is providing the certification set out below.
2. The inability of a person to provide the certification required below will not necessarily result in denial of participation in this covered transaction. The prospective participant shall submit an explanation of why it cannot provide the certification set out below. The certification or explanation will be considered in connection with the department or agency' s determination whether to enter into this transaction. However, failure of the prospective primary participant to furnish a certification or an explanation shall disqualify such person from participation in this transaction.
3. The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when the department or agency determined to enter into this transaction. lf it is later determined that the prospective primary participant knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department or agency may terminate this transaction for cause or default.
4. The prospective primary participant shall provide immediate written notice to the department or agency to which this proposal is submitted if at any time the prospective primary participant learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.
S. The terms covered transaction, debarred, suspended, ineligible, lower tier covered transaction, participant, person, primary covered transaction, principal, proposal, and voluntarily excluded, as used in this clause, have the meanings set out in the Definitions and Coverage sections of the rules implementing Executive Order 12549. You may contact the department or agency to which this proposal is being submitted for assistance in obtaining a copy of those regulations.
6. The prospective primary participant agrees by submitting this proposalthat, should the proposed covered transaction be entered into, it shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier covered transaction with a person who is proposed for debarment under 48 CFR part 9, subpart 9. 4, debarred, suspended, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this covered transaction, unless authorized by the department or agency entering into this transaction.
7. The prospective primary participant further agrees by submitting this proposal that it will include the clause titled " Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, lneligibility and Voluntary Exclusion- Lower Tier Covered Transaction," provided by the department or agency entering into this covered transaction, without modification, in all lower tier covered transactions and in all solicitations for lower tier covered transactions.
B. A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective participant in a lower tier covered transaction that it is not proposed for debarment under 48 CFR part 9, subpart g. 4, debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that the cerlification is erroneous. A participant may decide the method and frequency by which it determines the eligibility of its principals. Each participant may, but is not required to, check the List of Parties Excluded from Federal Procurement and Nonprocurement Programs. g. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of record in order to render in good faith the certification required by this clause. The knowledge and information of a participant is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.
10. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph 6 of these instructions, if a participant in a covered transaction knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is proposed for debarment under 48 CFR part 9, subpart 9. 4, suspended, debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department or agency may terminate this transaction for cause or default.

c. Staff and Supervisor Communicatio¡ r
Communication during and aÍter an incident is fundamental to the safety of an officer and his protectees. This is u iqn industry and crimc never waits, so to remedy traditional after- hour òommunication down- times, AIS has established our own 24- hour in- house DispatcffCommunication Center. Currently, 9 staff members operate this information hub that quiåtty and efficiently links offlicers in the field with command & control at headquafters. These efficient information relays have shortened the response time between officers, supervisors, management and clients in critical moments. Guards are also trusted with the business numbers of regional field supervisors to coordinate equipment drop offs, meet ups, etc.
Additionally, Absolute Intemational Security assigns a Project Manager and Field Supervisors to every site tÍrat it provides services to. This representative will have the authority to address any potentiat and on- going issues and coordinate any problems with the Operations management team Ùack at AIS heádquãfters. Our field supervisors routinely check up on sites and delivery documenting suppliôs such as sign- in sheets, Daily Activity Reports, Incident Reports, etc. During these visits, iupåiuirors will coliect recorded documentation for review and check up on the guard to see ifthere are any issues that nçed to be addressed- d. Post Management
At AIS we believe that it is more efhcient to be proactive than reactive. Therefore, we have established a check- in and out system for our guards to manage timekeeping. When our securify officer begins his shift, he repo( s directly to his post ( ob location) and calls our 24/ 7 in- house Communióations Center to check in. The dispatcher on duty logs all check- in and check- out times and verifies them against our assigned schedules for every guard and every shift for every client.
In addition, we also implement sign- in and sign- out sheets at job sites that are collected, processed, and verified against the call- in ãnd call- oui logs for each employee. These documents can be forwarded to clients at their request. This entire process ensures that the correct officer is on- duty at the assigned times and there is no unnecessary overtime or double shifts, and that each site has fult coverãge. This is again, verified in payroll, where every employee turns in. a time- sheet, detailing t h* e dates, jobsites, and times worked. The employee' s time sheet must match the assigned schedulé and our iogged check- in/ check- out times to ensure proper hours worked. Once the timesheet is validated, it is then processed for payment.
Despite all the verification however, the timekeeping process can still be disrupted by user and reporting effors. Therefore, supervisors make routine stops at each site to check up on our guards unO pirÈup documentation reports. Supervisors also have access to the guard tracking web client that ian be accessed through computer, tablet, or smartphone. This allows them to see in real time whether the guard is on dufy on site.

e. Stafling Capabilities
AIS currently services the Counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino- This includes municipal, goverrìment, and private contracts in both armed and unarmed positions' AIS is currently expandiãg company operations by partnering with local workforce agencies such as Goodwill, Vet Hunteis, unå e-" i¡" a' s Job Centers. This allows our company to meet specific officer requirements from our clients including bilingual in Spanislr, experience working with law enforcemónt, and oflicers with proven history of high- caliber security training' i. Staffing Plan
We willrtuffyou. location as indicated in RFP with offrcer( s) who have been highly trained in their security respónsibilities as well as customer service. We will utilize officers who have been trained for the speóific detaits and scope of work at your sites and we will train another two officers for backup. îhis will ensure that there is a consistent presence with officers who are familiar with the post assignments, employees, vendors and gu" Jts. Additionally, we will also have our Field Srp. ruirãr,
trainád for tnå specifications of your post and be ready to deploy at a moment' s notice' Wå will never send out an officer who does not understand the scope of work or what your expectations are. This ensures that you will always have highty trained personnel on site at any time.
For whatever reason, if the usual oifi"" t is unable to work, we wilt deploy a replacement that is also trained and has knowledge of all aspects of this post. Once on post, the replacement officer will be required to perform the same duties, tasks anå assignment to those of the regularly scheduled officers.
ii. Securify Guard Absences
As with any human capital industry, the security service industry has known attendance issues including t¿ rdiness and last- minute call offs. Absolute International Security has implemented many stãps to minimize this issue. The first step is to ensure clear communications between scheäulin!, communications, quality assurance, and operations departments to ensure that a clear schedule iã produced with officers who are qualifìed and happy with the sites that they are assigned to, thereby - ini* iring attendance mishaps âs much as possible. Secondly, we implement a pool of rover/ euálity Assurarice officers who are trained for the City of Torrance Parks and Facilities sites to allow us to filt vacant spots on a moment' s notice to ensure that the client never ends up with an unprotected site.
iii. Emergency Requests
AIS has izqn Communication Center for our clients to imrnediately speak to a communications officerlDispatch regarding any additional service needs, suggestions, questions, concems' or complaints. Any emerg" n-" y réqr" rts will be directed to AIS management who will contact the client with a plãn of acîion.- AlS will fulfill requests to the best of our ability, including using site- trained , up" rui. o., for emergency coverage if needed. Any emergencies will have AIS management contact thè client with the eient triefings and if necessary, pursue an in- person meeting to address the situation. Our clients will have the emails and phone numbers to our management team- proposal for RFp - City of Torrance - Encarnpment prevention overnight secr. rrity Guard services at city Parks and Facilities No.

Check in and Check Out System
When a security officer begins his shift, he reports directly to the post ( ob location) and calls our 24- hour IN- HOUSE dispatch center to check in. The dispatch center keeps track of the check in and check out times which are computerized for every guard and every sh¡ ft for all Absolute International Security Customers.
Sign- in Sheets
In addition to calling in and out, we also implement sign in and sign out sheets at each job site. The sign in sheets are collected by one of our field supervisors and are turned in to our headquarters.
The sign in sheets are then compared with the call in and call out log for each employee. Once this is completed, the time sheets are checked against the post schedule to ensure that the coffect employee is checking in and out and that there is no unnecessary overtime being worked and there is fu[| coverage of the post. If there are any changes in the schedule or hours worked, it is updated on our weekly schedule. Atl sign in sheets and call in and out logs should match the schedule for a proposal for RFp - City of Torrance - Encampment Prevent¡ on Overn¡ ght Security Guard Services at City Parks and Facilitles RFP No

particular jobsite at this point. If the post does not require a sign in and out sheet, dispatch matches all time sheets to the call in and out logs to ensure the hours of work are accurate.
Electronic Sign- In Eq uipment/ lVlethod
AIS utilizes a guard touring software to keep track of work schedules and check inlout times.
Guards can clock- in from their personal or site phone and our attendance department will verify the guards' time and location when reviewing timesheets, AiS can implement a geofence which will only allow the guard to clock in when the guard is inside the designated geofence' Timesheet summaries breakdown hours in a pay period and allows for easy export of timesheet reports. Spot overages allow clients to easily see the differences between scheduled vs. worked hours. Upon request, AIS can provide a work t¿ blet for each site for employees to clock- in without using a GPS- enabled device.
Track Tik Guard Tour
AIS uses a mobile, web- based guard touring software solution called TrackTik. TrackTik is specifically designed for security companies that want real time oversight at their sites' This program wilt allow the client to see real time reports, GPS, and incident reports. Our guards are instructed to write hourly activity reports using a mobile phone that is provided by AIS. One key feature that we use is the scanning of NFC checkpoints. These checkpoints can be placed at an afea of importance which will physically force the guard to scan this checkpoint on a needed basis. Once scanned, the phone can provide a follow up prompt of the clients choosing. This can be a reminder to the guards to shut any open doors, or to make sure certain places are secure and locked. TrackTik can be accessed through any mobile device. This includes tablets, phones, and computers. The client can monitor the guard' s live GPS location which updates every few minutes. This can give peace of mind to the client knowing that the guard is on site and patrolling. Reporting an incident through TrackTik is very easy. The report will allow the guard to post any pictures of the incident, to write a detailed report of the incident and to follow- up on every post incident procedure as well. We have a dedicated department that oversees the TrackTik report to ensure every guard is doing an hourly activity report or a patrol. If a guard misses a scheduled patrol, a notification will be sent to our 24 hour dispatch center and they will contact the guard to remind them to do their patrol. Overall, TrackTik is a great tool that we use to monitor and supervise the gUards.

Certification Regarding Debarrnent, Suspension, and Other Responsibility Matters
1. By signing and submitting this proposal, the prospective primary partícipant is providing the certification set out below.
2. The inabifity of a person to províde the certification required below will not necessarily result in denial of participation in this covered transaction. The prospective participant shall submit an explanation of why it cannot provide the certification set out below. The certification or explanation will be considered in connection with the department or agency' s determination whether to enter into this transaction. However, failure of the prospective primary participant to furnish a certification or an explanation shall disqualify such person from participation in thís transaction.
3. The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when the department or agency determined to enter into this transaction. lf it is later determined that the prospective primary participant knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department or agency may terminate this transaction for cause or default.
4. The prospective primary participant shall provide ímmediate written notice to the department or agency to which thís proposal is submitted if at any time the prospective primary partícipant learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.
5.

L A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective participant in a lower tier covered transaction that it is not proposed for debarment under 48 CFR part 9, subpart
9. 4, debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that the certification is erroneous. A participant may decide the method and frequency by which it determines the eligibility of its principals. Each participant may, but is not required to, check the List of Parties Excluded from Federal Procurement and Nonprocurement Programs.
9. Nothing contained ín the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render in good faith the certification required by this clause. The knowledge and information of a participant is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.
10. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph 6 of these instructions, if a participant in a covered transaction knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is proposed for debarment under 48 CFR part 9, subpart 9. 4, suspended, debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department or agency may terminate this transaction for cause or default.
