Report
Summary
The contracts provide armed, unarmed, and event security guard services for departments Citywide. Security guard services are utilized by various departments for securing public and private property, monitoring City facilities, patrolling City parks, providing fire watch services, and securing City-sponsored events and more. Overall, these contracts will help to ensure the safety and protection of City-personnel, infrastructure, and properties. Additional funds are necessary due to an increase in usage of security guard services associated with the opening of the 100 West Washington building, special events coverage in and outside of City Hall and Council Chambers, and overnight security at City parks. The need for services is routinely evaluated, and as applicable, services are increased.
Contract Term
The contract terms remain unchanged, ending on November 30, 2028.
Financial Impact
Upon approval of $22,500,000 in additional funds, the revised aggregate value of the contracts will not exceed $36,500,000. Funds are available in the various departments' operating and capital budgets.
