Approval of a Professional Services Agreement with Commercial Protective Services for Security Services During Construction of the Fire Station No. 3 Project, P-857.

City of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda Item Report
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council approve a professional services agreement with
Commercial Protective Services in an amount not-to-exceed $55,000 for security
services during construction of the Fire Station No. 3 project.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Tragically, the construction site for Fire Station No. 3 was the site of a crime which
allegedly took place on January 3, 2009. The project was officially suspended on
January 9, 2009.
To promptly address the situation and provide necessary protection of City property,
on January 21, 2009, an agreement with Commercial Protective Services was
administratively approved for 24 hour unarmed guard service and 24 hours video
surveillance with 7 day video recording storage. They have provided excellent
service.
Construction on the project resumed on February 19, 2009. Staff believes it is
prudent to keep a security company on site during the regular work week for 16
hours a day with 24 hour video surveillance. The unarmed guard service would be
for the hours of 4 PM to 8 AM on weekdays, and 24 hours on weekends.
Staff is proposing this arrangement until the completion of the project, which is
expected to occur on May 31, 2009. The total amount expended under the
administratively approved contract with CPS Security at the time of this report writing
is about $15,000. An additional $40,000 (for a total of $55,000) is estimated to
extend the guard and video surveillance services to May 31, 2009.
