Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or the City Manager's designee, to execute an amendment to Contract 154530 with IPSA Security Services, LLC to extend the contract term and provide additional funding to the agreement. Further request to authorize the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item. The additional expenditure will not exceed $665,000.
Report
Summary
The purpose of this agreement is to provide experienced, licensed, unarmed, uniformed security guards who will be responsible for the physical security of all Water Services Department (WSD) Water Production facilities, Wastewater facilities, and Remote facilities. This short-term extension is necessary to prevent any lapse in mission-critical security operations while WSD completes the planning, market research, scope alignment, site assessments, and stakeholder review needed for a new competitive solicitation. During this extension period, the scope of services and service levels will remain unchanged, allowing adequate time to develop, finalize, and issue the updated solicitation without compromising ongoing security needs.
Contract Term
Upon approval, the contract will be extended through December 31, 2026.
Financial Impact
Upon approval of $665,000 in additional funds, the revised aggregate value of the contract will not exceed $5,710,000. Funds are available in the Water Services Department Operating budget.
