Report
Summary
This agreement will provide necessary security guard services to the many Water Services Department locations. Annual increases in hourly labor costs have contributed to an increase in expenditures for security guards. The purpose of this amendment is to request additional funds for providing security guard services on an as-needed basis for the Water Services Department.
The Water Services Department utilizes security guard services across the many water plants operating in the City of Phoenix. Additional funds are needed to support the use of security guards until the agreement ends on June 30, 2026, at which time a new competitive solicitation will be conducted.
Contract Term
The agreement term remains unchanged, ending on June 30, 2026.
Financial Impact
The initial authorization for Security Guard Services was for an expenditure not-to-exceed $4.5 million. This amendment will increase the authorization of the agreement by an additional $545,000 for a new total not-to-exceed value of $5,045,000.
Funding is available in the Water Services Department's Operating budget.
