Report to Mayor, City Council, Chair and Commissioners Re: Approve Project Authorizations A through G under Agreement No. A-8811 and Project Authorizations A and B under Agreement No. A-8812 with Absolute International Security, Inc. May 1, 2024 Page 2 BACKGROUND Enhancing public safety and our community’s quality of life is at the forefront of the City Council’s priorities. In alignment with this priority, effective security operations management to deter crime and suspicious activities is provided at Housing Authority and City-owned facilities. The Housing Authority manages three mobile home parks and four apartment complexes. The properties are provided with a security program consisting of unarmed guard services, including access control, parking enforcement, asset protection, and a visual deterrent for crime and suspicious behavior through observation. Since August 2004, the Housing Authority has contracted with Newport Pacific Capital Company, Inc. (Newport Pacific) to oversee operations at the Housing Authority facilities. Newport Pacific, in turn, contracts with OPSEC Specialized Protection (OPSEC) to provide security services at the sites. The Housing Authority and Newport Pacific periodically review the services provided for the properties. In addition, the City contracts with OPSEC to provide security services for City events at the Palmdale Amphitheater, DryTown Water Park, and SAVES. DISCUSSION To align and consolidate city-wide security efforts, a Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 23- 002-4400 for Unarmed Security Guard Services was released on December 12, 2023. Notifications were distributed through PlanetBids to 164 security service vendors, and 18 complete bids were received, with no bidders from the Antelope Valley. On March 14, 2024, interviews were held with the top four bidders. Absolute International Security, Inc. received the top interview and overall evaluation score. While Absolute International Security, Inc. is based in Irwindale, CA, its goal is to recruit and employ from within the Antelope Valley. Master Services Agreement No. A-8811 for the Housing Authority will house Project Authorizations A through G. Master Services Agreement No. A-8812 will house Project Authorizations A and B. All agreements/project authorizations are attached for reference.
