Uh

Good

I'm the senior contract administrator overseeing this amendment for general services.

Well, thank you all for the briefings conducted.

I know that we still have um one to two remaining, um, but we do appreciate your time and walking through those briefings.

We also said to you um right before the weekend uh a summary of all of the questions that were asked in those briefings, responses have been provided to those.

Um as we uh round out the remaining um briefings that we have, we will send up a revise and updated memo for that.

So that is all the information that you could ever want.

But if there's more that you shall ever need, we will provide that.

Um we're really excited to be bringing this amendment forward as we've got a lot working um right now on security front with this amendment and then in our future RFP.

So I will kick it over to Cammy and team to begin the presentation.

All right.

Thank you so much for having us and thank you for the briefings that we did have uh with folks.

It really helped us kind of craft um craft the uh deck that you're gonna see today uh to make sure that we address all of the the questions that you brought up.

Um there's a lot of information here, so we are happy to meet with council members uh to follow up on anything specific or anything that was unclear, but we'll go ahead and jump into it.

So this is the citywide security services agreement, so not only general services but across the city, all the agencies uh that use the Securitas agreement.

So, brief agenda.

We're gonna talk about the amendment requests.

We're also going to dive in and talk about kind of what we've been doing uh on the new solicitation, uh, because that's one of the drivers for the amendment request that we have today.

So we're gonna talk about some of the strategic uh enhancements that we've made.

Also, we're gonna spend some time talking about spend because I know um how we've spent those contract dollars is of importance uh to this body.

So then uh we're gonna go on just give you a general overview of um the citywide security services agreement, what we provide, what what it entails, and then give you uh uh a timeline not only for the amendment but also for the RFP, and then we'll uh close out with what our request is.

So the amendment request uh before you today is uh for a uh an extension of time and capacity.

So the current Securitas agreement, we began that on January 1 of 2022.

Uh that is set to expire December 31 of 2026.

So we are coming before this committee today to ask for an extension of nine months to that agreement, which would put us beyond the five-year uh contract term.

Uh but uh we'll go into some of the details of why we're asking for um uh for that extension uh of time.

And then also we're asking for an extend our uh capacity increase of 11 million dollars, and that is specifically to cover the expenses for that additional nine months.

Uh so two drivers, uh two main drivers that we have for um for requesting this uh time and and capacity increases.

One is that we were very intentional about making sure that we allowed full transparency to potential bidders on the new RFP about the collective bargaining agreement between Securitas and the SEIU Local 105.

We have a member from the SEIU in the audience today, so if you have any questions of her, please feel free to ask those.
