Through: 
Michael Kennington, Deputy City Manager/Chief Financial Officer 
From: 
Edward Quedens, Business Services Director 
 
Kristy Garcia, Procurement Administrator 
Subject: 
Three Month Extension and Dollar Limit Increase to the Term Contract for 
Private Security Officer Services for the Mesa Police Department (Citywide)  
 
Recommendation 
 
The Mesa Police, Economic Development, Arts and Culture, and Library Services 
Departments and Procurement Services recommend increasing the dollar limit with 
Universal Protection Service, LP, dba Allied Universal Security Services by $400,000, from 
$2,242,000 to $2,642,000, through July 31, 2026.  
 
Background / Discussion  
 
This contract provides private security officer services. The scope of work includes unarmed 
physical security services, mobile patrol using a golf cart, shuttle services for employees 
between City buildings and parking structures, and security for special events and festivals 
that are hosted by the City. Services are required for various City locations such as Mesa 
Arts Center, Mesa Libraries, Police facilities, 55 North Center, and City Hall.  
 
The current contract is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2026. A new solicitation is currently 
in progress and with 17 RFP responses received, the evaluation is still ongoing, and the new 
contract will not be awarded before the existing contract ends. To maintain uninterrupted 
services as well as possible vendor transition time if the incumbent is not the next vendor, a 
three-month extension through July 31, 2026, is required, along with a corresponding 
increase in contract capacity.
