CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO —REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT
Resolution by the Mayor and Common Council to enter into a contract for Crossing Guard
Services with All City Management Services for two crossing guard positions at Belvedere
Elementary School and to enter into an Agreement with The San Manuel Band of Serrano
Mission Indians for payment of Crossing Guard Services through the SDF Grant.
BACKGROUND
Belvedere Elementary School is located at 2501 Marshall Blvd. in San Bernardino. Although
this school is located within the city limits of San Bernardino, it is located in the area of the
Indian casino. The San Manuel Band of Serrano Mission Indians requested that two crossing
guards be placed at the school location because of increased traffic and a concern for child safety
before and after school.
All City Management Services (ACMS) is a private vendor that provides crossing guard services
for several communities throughout California. This vendor also provides services for other
schools in the Redlands Unified School District. ACMS is fully insured, accepts general
liability, recruits, hires, equips and trains their Crossing Guards. ACMS will handle the day to
day operations of providing a guard at this school location including both supervision and
staffing for a rate that is very close to what the city is currently paying to manage the program
through the Police Department. The benefit to using ACMS is the better infrastructure in place
to substitute guards when needed for constant staffing, closer supervision and liability protection.
ACMS is the only company that was found in Southern California to provide these specific
services.
ACMS has provided a quote to the Police Department to provide one guard position at a rate of
$14.28 an hour at 4 hours per day and one guard position at a rate of$14.28 an hour at 6 hours
per day. This rate is competitive to what the department is paying to provide these services (not
including administrative costs). These positions are sometimes difficult to fill and even more
difficult to maintain a substitution list; therefore, some schools are at times without an active
crossing guard. The use of ACMS would likely alleviate this problem and they guarantee that
they will be able to fill the position at this competitive rate.
This matter requires that the City of San Bernardino enter into a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) with All City Management Services and with The San Manuel Band of Serrano Indians
to P rovide these services.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
In May 2009, the City was awarded monies from the Compact-related Special Distribution Fund
from the Indian Gaming Local Community Benefit Committee ("SDF Grant") to fund the
Crossing Guard Services for Fiscal Year 09/10.
A total of$34,272.00 is included in the FY 09/10 SDF 8iant account 123-776-5505 for Crossing
Guard Services.
