TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Robert Guthrie, Chief of Police
By: Dr. Jennifer Brutus, Sr. Management Analyst
SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH INTER-CON
SECURITY SYSTEMS, INC. FOR OFFICIAL PARKING
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY
The City has a Professional Services Agreement (“Agreement”) with Inter-Con
Security Systems, Inc. ("Inter-Con”) for official parking enforcement services, and the
current Agreement expires on June 30, 2020. It is recommended that the City Council
approve, authorize, and direct the City Manager to execute a new Professional
Services Agreement with Inter-Con for the period of July 1, 2020, through June 30,
2023, with the option to renew on an annual basis for a maximum of three additional
one-year periods.
BACKGROUND
Inter-Con has been the City’s parking enforcement services provider since 2007. For
the past 12 years, the company has been responsible for providing overnight parking,
daytime street sweeping, and general parking enforcement throughout the City. Even
though Inter-Con’s performance has been positive and adequate over the past six
years of the current Agreement, a Request for Proposals was distributed in May 2020
to ensure the best and most qualified parking enforcement services company is being
utilized to meet the needs of the City. Given that it has been approximately six years
since the City last bid the contract for parking enforcement services, it was
appropriate to evaluate whether other parking enforcement services companies could
provide superior service. While past practice has provided preference to local
vendors, the City’s purchasing policy states that proximity to the City and
convenience alone are not acceptable reasons for awarding a bid to a company other
than the lowest responsive, responsible bidder.

DISCUSSION
After a two-week submission period during which a Notice Inviting Proposals was
published three times in the Arcadia Weekly, and four vendors were sent a Request
for Proposal, three parking enforcement proposals were received on May 21, 2020. A
committee comprised of four City staff members reviewed and rated the proposals
using a 100-point evaluation system. The proposals were evaluated according to
thoroughness and understanding of work, related experience, references, quality of
proposal, and costs. Figure 1.1 is a summary of the average scores and final rank.
Figure 1.1 – Average Scores for Parking Enforcement Proposals
Though cost were considered as part of the evaluation of all proposals, it was not the
sole deciding factor. An analysis of scores revealed that Inter-Con is the most
qualified and best-suited parking enforcement company for the City in every
category. Inter-Con is a San Gabriel Valley based company with its headquarters
located 7.6 miles from the City. The company has over 40 years of experience in
providing customized security and parking enforcement solutions for federal, state,
and local governments. Other cities that contract with Inter-Con for parking
enforcement services include Alhambra, Azusa, Covina, Glendora, San Gabriel, La
Verne, and Pasadena.
The proposed Agreement with Inter-Con will cover a term of three years: July 1,
2020, through June 30, 2023, with the option to renew on an annual basis for three
additional one-year periods. The pricing factored into the fully burdened billing rates
for the first three years is based on current medical insurance premiums using the
best information available to Inter-Con. The rates are firm and also reflect the cost of
built-in wage increases over the first three-years of the new contract. The total cost
per year will not exceed $237,241, which amounts to a maximum of $711,723 over a
three-year period.

The alternative service providers include ACE Parking (”ACE”) and SP Plus
Municipal Services (“SPPLUS”), whose cost proposals were significantly higher than
Inter-Con’s. Inter-Con’s initial cost proposal was for $294,104 per year and the
Department was able to negotiate it down to $237,241. ACE’s total cost was
$379,998 and SPPLUS’s total cost was $514,847, which are significantly higher than
Inter-Con. One of the main factors contributing to the higher costs was that both
companies charge for salaried personnel to supervise parking officers, whereas Inter-
Con utilizes its Senior Parking Enforcement Representative (“SPER”) in a
management capacity. It is of great benefit to the City that Inter-Con’s SPER is able
to effectively supervise employees, assist with day-to-day operations, and address
staffing concerns, thus eliminating unnecessary pass-through costs to the City for
higher-level managers.
In comparison to FY 2019-20, Inter-Con’s cost for FY 2020-21 is proposed to be
13.29% higher. This price increase is primarily attributed to an increase in labor rates
in order to maintain an attractive wage premium over regular minimum wage rates.
Other cost factors include increases in medical insurance, payroll taxes and
insurance, and other operational costs. This is viewed as a reasonable cost for this
service, given the change in the minimum wage environment.
It is important to take into consideration the fact that parking control services are a
significant revenue source. Over the past six years of the current Agreement, the City
has brought in approximately $2,548,740 in parking citations revenue, which is
approximately $1,560,263 in net revenue in comparison to the estimated final six-
year contract cost of $988,477 with Inter-Con. For the next three years, the City is
expected to bring in $400,000 annually in parking citations revenue; however, the net
revenue amount after the contract cost will be $162,759 annually.
In terms of staffing, Inter-Con’s proposed project staffing plan is comprised of four
contract employees. Inter-Con will provide one full-time Senior Parking Enforcement
Representative (“SPER”) and two full-time and one part-time Parking Enforcement
Representatives (“PER”). The company will also have available a minimum of two
part-time Reserve Force PERs to ensure post coverage at all times. In addition, Inter-
Con Security will be responsible for their own hiring, training, and scheduling; as well
as any discipline and termination of staff members. The company will supply properly
marked uniforms and two vehicles.
According to the proposed Agreement, Inter-Con will pay the City $50 per quarter
hour (15 minutes), up to a maximum of $200 for each unfilled 8-hour shift. This
clause remains because an unfilled shift by Inter-Con equates to a lack of
enforcement and revenue for the City. In addition, Inter-Con will pay $5.00 for each
voided citation due to an unsatisfactory or unjustified citation. This provision is to
prevent over-zealous employees from issuing unwarranted citations and to cut down
on administrative reviews of citations. However, Inter-Con’s parking enforcement

officers have averaged more than 12,000 citations per year for Arcadia with an error
rate of less than 1%. For this reason, the Department is confident that Inter-Con’s
efficiency and quality will continue into the next contract.
Inter-Con has performed successfully in the City for the past six years and their
proposal cost was the lowest among those submitted. It is therefore recommended
that the City Council approve Inter-Con as the Department’s provider of official
parking enforcement services for the period of July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2023,
with the option to renew on an annual basis for three additional one-year periods.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”), based on Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, as it
can be seen with certainty that it will have no impact on the environment. Thus, this
matter is exempt under CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT
The project cost to the City is not to exceed $237,241 per year for the period of July
1, 2020, through June 30, 2023. Annual revenues to the City as a result of Inter-
Con’s efforts are expected to be approximately $400,000 per year. As a result, the
potential net increase in revenue is $162,759 per year or $488,277 over the first
three years of the proposed Agreement. The cost and revenue amounts will be
budgeted annually as part of the budget adoption process.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council determine that this project is exempt under
the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); and approve, authorize, and direct
the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Inter-Con
Security Systems, Inc. for official parking enforcement services.

insurance required by this Section shall contain standard separation of insureds
provisions. In addition, such insurance shall not contain any special limitations on the

devices, equipment and wearing apparel as are necessary or lawfully required to

maintenance of all safety measures.

Extra Work without prior written authorization from City's Representative.

Exhibit "E"
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
1 ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
1.1 Billing. The billings for all services rendered pursuant to the Agreement shall be
submitted monthly, based upon the services rendered at the time of the submission, to
City by Contractor, and shall be paid by the City within twenty (20) days after receipt of
same.
1.2 Voided Parking Citations. Any parking citations that are deemed inappropriate
during or immediately after the issuance of a citation can be voided by the parking
enforcement representative (PER) that issued the parking citation as long as he/she
follows up with a correct citation. If the PER determines that the parking citation should
be voided due to an error on his/her part, and a correct cite will not be issued, the PER
shall obtain authorization for such void from the highest ranking representative on duty
at the time that the decision is made. If the said representative cannot be reached, the
issuing PER shall obtain authorization from person(s) named by the Contractor Director
and the Chief of Police, or his designee.
1.3 Unsatisfactory/Unjustified Void of Parking Citations.
1.3.1 Although the City understands that voided parking citations will occur during
regular patrol, it is the City’s intention to issue only valid citations. All voided citations
must be recorded in a daily log and reviewed and authorized by the Chief of Police, or
his designee. Weekly, the Chief of Police, or his designee, will report to the Contractor
any unsatisfactory and unjustified voids by an PER. The Contractor shall be
responsible for reporting the appropriate action taken to prevent future occurrences. At
no such time shall an PER exceed two percent (2%) of unsatisfactory or unjustified
voids in a one-month period. If this does occur, Contractor must deduct $5.00 per void
in excess of two percent (2%) per PER. This condition will apply to all PERs who have
been working for the Contractor for more than one month.
1.3.2 If several citations were issued for the same type of violation in a relatively close
period of time, all of these citations will be considered a mistake that accounts for one
void only. (Examples of such special considerations include: A sign missing from a
street whereby 13 vehicles were cited because PER did not realize the sign was
missing; PER fails to realize that a street was exempt from the overnight parking
ordinance; PER does not honor a special exemption for an event.) If a continual error
has been brought to an PER’s attention, and if the problem continues to occur, it will not
be deemed for special consideration.
E-1
1.3.3 The parties agree that Inter-Con shall be liable for two hundred dollars ($200.00)
liquidated damages if a scheduled eight (8) hours shift is unfilled due to short staffing
(equivalent to a $200.00 maximum penalty per day). In regards to tardiness, penalty of
fifty dollars ($50.00) for every fifteen (15) minutes a contract employee is late up to one
(1) hour or two hundred dollars ($200.00) total.
2 CITY SUPERVISION
2.1 The City’s Chief of Police, or his designee, shall have the right of general
supervision of all work performed by Contractor and shall be the City’s agent with
respect to obtaining Contractor’s compliance hereunder. No payment for any services
rendered under the Agreement shall be made without prior approval of the Chief of
Police, or his designee.
