TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: John Brand, Senior Management Analystg
DATE: October 8, 2002 (CC meeting of October 16, 2002)
SUBJECT: Consider an Agreement to Provide Security Guard Services
at the Moorpark Metrolink.
SUMMARY
The City Council is being asked to consider the authorizing the
City Manager to execute a service agreement with a security firm to
be selected to provide guard services at the Moorpark Metrolink
Station. The City has contracted for guard service at the station
since 1993. Cost proposals from area security firms have been
received. However, evaluation of the proposals and of the firms'
qualifications has not been completed. Sufficient funds are
appropriated in the current budget to accommodate the cost
proposals received.
BACKGROUND
On March 13, 1993, the City Council initially funded and approved
the establishment of a security guard at the Moorpark Metrolink
Station, and entered into an Agreement with the firm of Security
Above for that purpose. The security guard is intended to deter
property damage to the station and to the vehicles parked there.
The guard is on duty at the Station for eight hours per day, five
days per week. The shift usually ends thirty minutes after the last
train of the night is scheduled to arrive. This is to allow any
stranded passengers to feel safe while they make arrangements for a
ride. Metrolink does not operate on weekends or on major holidays.
Security Above requested termination of its Agreement effective
October 31, 2002. Upon termination notification, staff sought
proposals from security firms serving this area. The three

proposals received range in cost between $13.50 and $16.00 per
hour. Under the City's current Agreement, it pays Security Above
$12.30 per hour. The appropriation for Metrolink Security in the
FY 2002 -2003 appears to be sufficient to meet the cost quotations
staff has received to date. No additional appropriation or budget
adjustment would be necessary.
Staff asks that the City Manager be authorized to select the most
capable and affordable firm and to execute an Agreement for
continued security services at Moorpark Station.
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to select a firm to provide security
services within the authorized budget and to execute the Agreement
to provide security guard services at the Moorpark Metrolink
Station.
