STAFF REPORT
EXTENSION OF AUTIlORITY TO CONTRACT FOR
SECURITY SERVICES AT NEW CENTRAL POLICE STATION
Backlmlund
Since May 1994, Mega Forces Security, a local minority-owned and operated linn, 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 vAnnAli"", that was occurring. Staff is well-pleased with the excellent job Mega Forces has done
in preventing theft and v.~nAli"", 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 purpose 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.
o
The urgency of the matter, 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 staft's complete satisfaction with the services rendered and the viewpoint that
confirmation 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 Connnittee considered this item and recommended that Mega Force's security
services be so extended.
Staff recommends adoption of the form motion.
