body
DEPARTMENT: Department of Public Works
SUBMITTED BY: John Rutkowksi, Interim Director of Public Works
BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Public Works - Public Building Operation (DPW-PBO) is responsible for providing unarmed security guard services for the Municipal Center. Security services are provided Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. Security services are also provided as needed for special meetings and events that are held outside business hours at the Municipal Center.
DISCUSSION:
DPW-PBO staff is satisfied with the services provided by Talon Premier Security during the second term of the contract. Based on the vendor’s performance, staff recommends extending the contract for a third option year. Talon Premier Security has requested a 3% contract increase to account for rising labor costs, which staff views as reasonable.
In the coming months, staff will be recommending service and staffing changes that would provide the opportunity to reduce the amount of this contract in 2026.
The term of the third option year is January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026, with one option year remaining.
FISCAL IMPACT:
CIP#: N/A
Security services for the Municipal Center are expensed to the Operational Services account listed below. The proposed 2026 budget includes a total of $175,000 for security services. The requested award is within the budgeted amount proposed for this expense.
