FOR JAIL SERVICES IN THE AMOUNT OF $250,203 Recommendation: Approve SUMMARY The existing Professional Services Agreement ( "PSK) with the G4S Secure Solutions (USA), Inc. ( "G4S ") for jail services expires on July 1, 2014. It is recommended that the City Council authorize and direct the City Manager to execute a one year extension to the Professional Services Agreement with G4S through June 30, 2015, in the amount of $250,203. DISCUSSION The Police Department began contracting its jails services in July 2012. After a Request for Proposals was conducted, the Agreement was awarded to G4S for a two year period, with an option to renew for three additional years on a year -by -year basis. The services provided by G4S include all labor, tools, equipment, materials, and supervision necessary to provide for a safe, efficient operation of the Police Department's Type I Jail Facility. The company is also responsible for recruitment, background checks, training, scheduling, discipline, termination, and uniforms for their personnel. The City's current Agreement requires the City to pay $244,100; however, to extend services for FY 2014 -15, the fee will be $250,203. The price reflects a 2.5% increase to accommodate an increase to the jail staff's hourly wage. The original Agreement provided no increases over the course of the initial two year period. Given that — and the quality of their past performance — the cost increase is reasonable. The negotiated increase in pricing during extension years is allowed under the Agreement. Based on the Agreement cost and scope of experience, G4S is the most qualified to provide the best jail services to the Police Department. This extension will serve as the first of three allowed under the original Agreement.
