RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Delta Personnel Services, Inc. dba Guardian Security Agency, to increase the payment limit by $100,000 to a new payment limit of $700,000, to provide security guard services, with no change to the term.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment will increase department expenditures by $100,000 for a total department expenditure of $700,000 all of which is already budgeted in FY 2022-23, funded as follows:
$375,000 is assigned to Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) as Administrative Overhead (59% Federal, 35% State, and 6% County);

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

$225,000 is assigned to EHSD Community Services Bureau (63% Federal and 37% State);
$100,000 is assigned to EHSD Children and Family Services Bureau as Administrative Overhead (59% Federal, 35% State, and 6% County).

BACKGROUND:

County Public Services Officers (PSOs) provide security services at several Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) locations. EHSD, through a contract with Delta Personnel Service, Inc. dba Guardian Security Agency (Guardian), provides security personnel services at EHSD locations including when PSOs are unavailable due to vacation schedules, illness, and alternative work schedules, or for night and social occasion events. Guardian provides contingency security services to EHSD locations.

Upon request from EHSD, Guardian also provides security services to perform temporary and unanticipated security to safeguard equipment and property, prepare reports, conduct visual checks of areas in and around EHSD suites, and monitor and respond at the request of staff regarding unauthorized visitors to ensure the safety of visitors and employees at EHSD locations.

On April 12, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Board Order (C.83) to execute a contract between EHSD and Guardian for security services with a payment limit of $600,000 for a term July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023. This amendment is to increase the payment limit by $100,000 and expand the location of services whereby Guardian would provide unarmed security services on-site, at designated child welfare locations within the County, with no change to the term.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Designated child welfare locations will not have the needed security oversight to support placement of high needs youth.
