CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT:
Resolution of the City of San Bernardino awarding a service agreement and an annual purchase
order in an amount not to exceed $331,323 to the Wackenhut Corporation for clerical support
services, within the Records Division.
BACKGROUND:
On September 17, 1997, Resolution #97-286 was adopted authorizing the Police Department to
contract with the Wackenhut Corporation to provide clerical support services in the Records
Bureau, pursuant to Bid #Q98-047.
On July 6,1998, Resolution #98-197 was adopted authorizing the Police Department to extend the
contract and annual purchase orders with the Wackenhut Corporation for clerical support within
Police Dispatch and Records Bureau until June 30, 1999.
On June 21, 1999, Resolution #99-148 was adopted authorizing the Police Department to extend
the contract and annual purchase order #99-2249 with the Wackenhut Corporation until December
31, 1999, to allow sufficient time to re-bid the contract for clerical support services
Police Department staff wOlked with the Purchasing Division to develop appropriate technical
specifications for the specialized tasks presently performed by contractual services within the
Records Division. These tasks represent 23,832 hours of staffing annually broken down into the
following positions.
Position Annual Hours
Duties Performed
Subpoena Coordinator 1,992
Employee trained in jail operations who
fingerprints and processes sex, narcotics and
arson registrants as well applicants for jobs.
Liaison between the District Attorney's Office
and police employees receiving criminal and
traffic subpoenas for court testimony.
Employee is responsible for tracking and
notifying employees of the status of criminal
trials and the need to appear in court.
Permits aerk 2,080
File clerk
1,040
Files, retrieves and photocopies confidential
crime and traffic accident reports and arrests.
Document Imaging
Scanning derks
18,720
Scans crime reports and related documents
into the document imaging system. Indexes
reports for later retrievability and ensures
quality control.
Purchasing conducted an extensive research via the Yellow Pages, Internet and staffing agencies
attempting to locate vendors offering specialized law enforcement clerical staffing services. Police
Department staff further checked with allied law enforcement agencies attempring to locate other
contractual staffing services. The bid price of $331,323 for FY 99/00 is $13,972 or 6% higher than
the Annual Purchase Order of $311,610, which was issued to the Wackenhut Corporation for FY
98/99. Therefore, it is recommended that the City award a service agreement and an annual
purchase order to the Wackenhut Corporation
These extensive searches were unsuccessful in identifying other staffing agencies that successfully
fulfill the requirements of the purchase order. Other staffing agencies were found to be deficient in
one or more of the following critical performance measures.
. They lacked employees with the necessary training, skil1level and expertise to perform
specialized tasks,
. They have significant employee turnover, which negatively affects productivity and increases
training costs, or most importantly,
. They do not guarantee or cannot provide trained employees to backfill vacancies, which
necessitates using City employees on overtime.
This is considered a preferred vendor; therefore, the Police Department requests an exemption to
the competitive bid requirement pursuant to Section 3.04.01(B)(3) of the San Bernardino Municipal
Code. The Police and Purchasing Departments recommend awarding a service agreement and an
annual purchase order to Wackenhut Corporation based on a lack of identifiable vendors,
Wackenhut's past performance record with the Police Department and the efficiency gained by
limiting clerical staffing services to one proven vendor.
Awarding of a service agreement and an annual purchase order to Wackenhut Corporation will allow
the continued operation of these vital services without interruption. The purchase order will be for
one year with the option of five one-year extensions, and will commence on January 1, 2000.
Contracting out these services has proven to be cost effective and efficient. The Department's
efficiency would be negatively impacted by the loss of the contractual staffing as other city
employees would need to be hired or redirected to assume these duties on a regular or overtime
basis that would exceed the cost of the contractUal services.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Police Department's adopted budget for FY 99/00 includes $317,603 for contractUal clerical
services under Account #001-222-5505 (Records/Professional Services). We anticipate expending
$148,547 of these funds by December 31, 1999 for continued clerical services pursuant to
Resolution #99-148. The remaining budgeted funds amounting to $169,056 will be sufficient to
cover the contractual costs with the Wackenhut Corporation for the remaining six months of FY
99/00.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution.

REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS
TO
PROVIDE CLERICAL SUPPORT SERVICES
FOR
CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
POLICE DEPARTMENT
1999-324
I. INTRODUCTION
The City of San Bernardino has a population of 184,000. It is a full service city, providing fire,
police, utility, public works, library and leisure services. The City has an estimated 1,200 full-
time employees and an annual budget of approximately $79 million.
The City operates under a Mayor/Council form of government, with the Mayor elected at large
and a seven-member Council elected by geographic wards. The Mayor is the Chief Executive
Officer of the City and appoints all officers, with the consent and approval of the Common
Council. The City Attorney, City Clerk, and City Treasurer are elected officials.
II. PURPOSE OF REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS (RFQ)
The City of San Bernardino is seeking to hire an individual and/or firm to provide police clerical
