Explanation

BACKGROUND:
This ordinance authorizes the Franklin County Municipal Court Judges to engage in the third year of a potential four year contract for security guard services in the Municipal Court building with Willo Security, Inc. (Willo). In fiscal 2004, the court submitted bid waiver legislation to contract with Willo, pursuant to ordinance number 0130-2004, after canceling all formal bids on solicitation number SA 000544. The result of this solicitation was that Global Security, the prior contract vendor, and Willo bid identical pricing. Subsequently, the court chose Willo due to prior contractual non-compliance issues with Global Security.

During 2004, $286,032.78 was expended with Willo for security services. During 2005, $279,840.14 was expended with Willo for security services.

Emergency action is requested in order to continue uninterrupted services.


Contract Compliance Number: Willo Security, Inc. 34-1808997


FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this expenditure in the amount of $295,000 is budgeted and available within the Municipal Court Judges 2006 special projects fund for court security.
