That the City Council award a security contract to Golden West K-9 for $165,735.
These funds have been budgeted in FY 1998-1999 in account numbers 5500-8007
(City Hall), 5503-8088 (Metrolink Stations), 5502-8001 (City Park Facilities) and

BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clarita is in need of security services at City Hall, the Metrolink
Stations, and the City's parks. The current provider has been working for the City
for several years, but over time, the City's needs in this area have changed. In
anticipation of the expiration of the current security contract, staff felt that it was
an appropriate time to reexamine the City's security needs, and back in February,
began the process to procure security services.
The notice inviting bids was posted on March 25, and 29 and April 1, 1998. Sealed
bids were returned on April 30. Twelve security firms responded to the request for
bids. The low bidder, Olympic Security, our present security provider, did not
complete the bid package accurately. Staff consulted with the City Attorney on this
matter, and the bid was deemed non-responsive.
The second low bidder, Golden West K-9, submitted a complete bid package.
References were checked, and staff is confident that this firm has the experience and
personnel available to meet the City's security needs. Golden West K-9 has an
active Private Patrol Operator's license and is in good standing with the State
licensing board. Golden West has offices located in Santa Clarita and Pacoima.
