Police Department
SUBJECT: EXTENSION TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH
G4S SECURE SOLUTIONS (USA), INC. 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.
