RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Librarian, or designee, to execute a contract with Strategic Threat Management, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $303,400 to provide security services for the period July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Library Fund – No impact to the General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Library is requesting approval for a contract with Strategic Threat Management, Inc., to provide security services at the Antioch Library, the Prewett Library and Library Administration.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Strategic Threat Management, Inc., will provide onsite security at the Antioch Library, and on-call as needed security services at the Prewett Library and Library Administration

The Antioch Library is a single story 11,000 square foot facility. It is a very well-used library that is open to the public 5 days each week and is visited approximately 79,500 times each year. Antioch High School, Antioch Middle School and Fremont Elementary School are within a one-half mile of the Antioch Library. The library holds 41,000 volumes and offers free internet computer and free wireless access. The Antioch Library provides free story times and events for adults, teens, children, and adults with developmental disabilities. Programs range from book clubs, financial planning seminars and computer docent sessions. The library is also home to an office of Project Second Chance – Contra Costa County’s Adult Literacy Program that teaches adults struggling to read and write.

The security services provided will ensure the safety of library patrons and employees at library locations and safeguard equipment and property. The contractor will conduct visual checks of areas in and around Library locations and monitor and respond to staff requests.

These services will assist in creating a safe and welcoming environment for library patrons and a safe environment for library staff.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County Library building sites, property and staff will not have security and safety mechanisms in place.
