Explanation
Background: Ordinance No. 0273-2013, approved by City Council on March 4, 2013, authorized the Board of Health to enter into a $315,000 contract with United Security, LLC, for security officer services for their facility at 240 Parsons Avenue for the period March 1, 2013 to February 28, 2014. The purpose of this legislation is to modify that contract with United Security, LLC, by adding $25,000.00 to it.
A Request for Proposal (RFP), # SA003632 "Security Officer Services at 240 Parsons Avenue," was publicly posted to the City of Columbus Vendor Services website from June 14, 2010 until July 6, 2010. All 31 companies registered with the City of Columbus under commodity code 99046 (Guard and Security Services) were notified of the RFP. A total of six companies submitted responses to the RFP. The CPH evaluation committee unanimously recommended awarding the contract to United Security, LLC, as the lowest, responsive, responsible and best bidder under the provisions of City Code, Chapter 329. This is the third year of the five year contract.
There is a need for an additional $25,000.00 because of additional needs for security officer services throughout the year for such events as the Farmers’ Market and because the contract has been flat-funded since FY2011. The terms and conditions of the current contract will remain the same. The only change will be to the Maximum Obligation which will be increased by $25,000.00, from $315,000.00 to $340,000.00. The contract compliance number for United Security, LLC, is 26-3179987 and it expires on 11/22/2015.
Fiscal Impact: The need for this $25,000.00 modification was included in the Third Quarter Financial Review for the Health Special Revenue Fund, Fund No. 250. This legislation is submitted as an emergency in order to avoid a break in the needed services provided by United Security, LLC.
