BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clarita has a need for unarmed security guard services for various City
facilities, including City Hall, Metrolink stations, and park buildings. The presence of an
appropriately uniformed security guard serves as a visible deterrent to reduce the threat of injury
to the public, and prevents damage and loss of property within the parameters of each service
location.
In August 2007, the City entered into, a contract with Golden West K-9, Contract 07-00309,
allowing extensions through June 2009, with City Council approval. The original awarded
contract included provisions for annual increases based on the consumer price index. This item
seeks City Council approval to amend the existing contract, allowing for consumer price index
increases and adding security services for additional coverage at Todd Longshore Park, the
Commuter Rail Trail, and at the temporary Skate Park.
APPROVED
Golden West K-9 is a business located in Santa Clarita and was initially selected through the
competitive bid process. Golden West K-9 currently holds an active Private Patrol Operator's
License, and is in good standing with the California Bureau of Security and Investigative
Services. This company has provided excellent service to the City throughout the current contract
period. Their staff is well-qualified and knowledgeable of the City's standards for security
services, and has been responsive in meeting the City's needs on a day-to-day and emergency
basis. Staff is confident this firm has the experience and personnel available to continue to meet
the City's needs for security services.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
