BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the August 15, 2007 City Council meeting, City Council awarded the security services contract for the Lodi Transit Station and Parking Structure to Securitas Security Services USA, Inc. for three years, including a two-year extension. The three-year contract ends in October 4, 2010. Staff recommends the City extend the current contract to December 31, 2010, not execute the extension, and solicit request for proposals for security services since the City is adding camera monitoring requirements. The City recently received State funding for additional security improvements (cameras and a closed circuit security system) at the Lodi Transit Parking Structure. City staff plans to install cameras and a closed circuit security system inside the Lodi Transit Station with funds remaining from a 2008 State grant. In addition, there is new technology available to monitor and verify the security officers' performance inspectionsthat will be included in the proposed security services RFP. Currently, the Lodi Transit Station and Parking Structure have security guards during the evening weekday hours and 24 hours a day on weekends. Over the past year, burglaries increased at the Lodi Transit Parking Structure until the Lodi Police Department (LPD) completed a sting operation arresting two juveniles. The current security contractor has stepped up its operation by placing an additional security officer on site and utilizing a bicycle patrol. Since the LPD operation was reported in the Lodi News -Sentinel, there have been no reported burglaries at the transit facilities. FISCAL IMPACT: The annual cost for this service was budgeted in the Transit operation accounts. The amendment extension will be provided at the current rate ($14.70/ hour) and will cost approximately $17,500.
