STAFF REPORT
EXTENSION OF AUTHORITY TO CONTRACT FOR
SECURITY SERVICES AT NRW CENTRAl. POLICE STATION
Ba~kiJl"ound
Since May 1994, Mega Forces Security, a local African-American minority-owned and operated finn, has
provided security services for the new police station site, as well as the Pacific Federal buildings "A" and "B".
The service was initiated on an emergency basis to stop extensive vandalism that was occurring. Staff is well-
pleased with the excellent job Mega Forces has done in preventing theft and vandalism at the subject properties.
Mega Forces currently provides services from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m., Monday through Friday and around the
clock on Saturday and Sunday. This amounts to roughly 476 hours per month, at $9.50 per hour for one
unarmed security guard, or a total of approximately $4,522 per month -- say $5,000 per month. Such monies do
not include a payment of approximately $2,700 for monies due and owing Mega Forces and services already
rendered This will be paid under a separate transaction.
The existing authority to pay for this service and services rendered has expired The pUlpose of this item is to
request a ninety (90) day extension of authority, so that there will be no interruption in the continuity of security
services, as the new Central Police Station project progresses. As construction nears completion (expected near
August 1995) and expensive furniture and equipment is moved into the new facility, security will be even more
important than it currently is.
The urgency of the maller, due to the payment authority having expired, has precluded the possibility of
entertaining competitive bids. it is feared that an interruption or termination of security services could lead to a
delay in completion of the New Central Police Station. Due to staffs complete satisfaction with the services
rendered and the viewpoint that confumation of security services is critical, the recommendation is to authorize
payment of the $2,700 immediately, extend the payment authority for an additional ninety days with Mega
Forces Security and subsequently solicit competitive bids for services until completion of the Police Station.
On October 20, 1994, the Redevelopment Commillee considered this item and recommended that Mega Force's
security services be so extended.
Staff recommends adoption of the form motion.
