SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR UN-
ARMED SECURITY GUARD SERVICES AT THE TRAIN STATION
FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: Community & Economic Development Department
SUMMARY
This action is to approve a new contract services agreement with Maxwell Security
Services ("Contractor") for un-armed security guard services for both train and bus
service at the train station located on Garnet Station Road.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve a contract for un-armed security guard services at the train station with
Maxwell Security Services for a 3 year term commencing February 1, 2009 at
$34,800.00 per year, with two 1 year renewal options at the mutual consent of
the city and contractor.
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
On June 18, 2008 Council approved a 3 year lease agreement with Crucero to provide
regional bus services at the train station that commenced on August 152. At that time
Council approved an amendment to the existing security contract with Maxwell Security
Services to provide un-armed security service to accommodate the new regional bus
service operated at the train station, in addition to the services already being provided
for the Amtrak trains.
The Procurement & Contracting Division, in cooperation with Community & Economic
Development, conducted Request for Proposals (RFP) 09-10 that was issued on
December 12th, posted to the city's website, and Notices were sent to 28 potential
Item No. 2 • L •
vendors. Five firms submitted proposals that were evaluated by a committee
consisting of members from Community & Economic Development, Facilities
Maintenance, and the Police Department. Proposals were received from the following
five firms (listed alphabetically): Adams Security, Barry's Security, Coachella Valley
Security, IS[ Security, and Maxwell Security.
Proposals were evaluated on multiple criteria including their qualifications and
experience, pre-employment procedures, training, supervision, communications,
references and cost. While cost was not the sole determining criteria, the proposals
ranged from a low of $34,800.00 (Maxwell), to a high of $101,959 (Barry's), per year.
The evaluation committee ranked Maxwell Security Services, the incumbent, as the
highest ranked firm based on their proposal and overall comparative value of their
$34,800.00 annual cost. Maxwell is proposing no increase in cost to the city from their
current contract rate.
Maxwell Security Services, based in Palm Springs, CA has over 14 years of experience
in providing security guard services for commercial, industrial, and municipal clients
throughout Southern California, including World Mark in Palm Springs and the City of
La Quinta.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The $1,300/month revenue from the lease agreement with Crucero previously
approved by Council for regional bus services out of the train station will help offset
some of the City's costs to provide security services. Funds are budgeted in 4471-
43200, Railroad Station, Contractual Services.

endorsements. Certificates of insurance will not be accepted in lieu of required
endorsements, and submittal of certificates without required endorsements may
delay commencement of the Project. It is Contractor's obligation to ensure timely

agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the Project will be
submitted to the City for review.

pertains to a given issue, and is not intended by any party or insured to be
limiting or all-inclusive.

other claim or loss which may reduce the insurance available to pay claims
arising out of this Agreement- City assumes no obligation or liability by such

claim or claims if they are likely to involve City, or to reduce or dilute insurance

to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Contractor to insure,
indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.
7.4 Waiver. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a
non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a
waiver. A party's consent to or approval of any act by the other party requiring the party's
consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the other party's
consent to or approval of any subsequent act. Any waiver by either party of any default must be
in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other
provision of this Agreement.
7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative. Except with respect to rights and
remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the
parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or
remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights
or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.
7.6 Legal Action. In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may
take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages
for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or
injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement.
7.7 Liquidated Damages. Since the determination of actual damages for any
delay in performance of this Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to determine
in the event of a breach of this Agreement, the Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and
shall pay to the City the sum of NONE ($__Q_) as liquidated damages for each working
day of delay in the performance of any service required hereunder, as specified in the Schedule
of Performance (Exhibit "D"). The City may withhold from any monies payable on account of
services performed by the Contractor any accrued liquidated damages.
7.8 Termination Prior to Expiration Of Term. This Section shall govern any
termination of this Agreement except as specifically provided in the following Section for
termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time, with
or without cause, upon thirty (30) days' written notice to Contractor, except that where
termination is due to the fault of the Contractor, the period of notice may be such shorter time as
may be determined by the Contract Officer. In addition, the Contractor reserves the right to
terminate this Agreement at any time upon, with or without cause, upon sixty (60) days' written
notice to City, except that where termination is due to the fault of the City, the period of notice
may be such shorter time as the Contractor may determine. Upon receipt of any notice of
termination, Contractor shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be
10
specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Except where the Contractor has initiated
termination, the Contractor shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to
the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract
Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may be
approved by the Contract Officer, except as provided'in Section 7.3. In the event the Contractor
has initiated termination, the Contractor shall be entitled to compensation only for the
reasonable value of the work product actually produced hereunder. In the event of termination
without cause pursuant to this Section, the terminating party need not provide the non-
terminating party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.
7.9 Termination for Default of Contractor. If termination is due to the failure of
the Contractor to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the
provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract
or otherwise, and the Contractor shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of
the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the
City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any
payments to the Contractor for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed
the City as previously stated.
7.10 Attorneys' Fees. If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or
defend or made a party to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement,
the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be
granted, whether legal or equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees. Attorney's
fees shall include attorney's fees on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to attorney's
fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking
depositions and discovery and all other necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in
such litigation. All such fees shall be deemed to have accrued on commencement of such
action and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment.
8.0 CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES: NON-DISCRIMINATION
8.1 Non-liability of City Officers and Employees. No officer or employee of
the City shall be personally liable to the Contractor, or any successor in interest, in the event of
any default or breach by the City or for any amount which may become due to the Contractor or
to its successor, or for breach of any obligation of the terms of this Agreement.
8.2 Conflict of Interest. No officer or employee of the City shall have any
financial interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement nor shall any such officer or employee
participate in any decision relating to the Agreement which effects his financial interest or the
financial interest of any corporation, partnership or association in which he is, directly or
indirectly, interested, in violation of any State statute or regulation. The Contractor warrants that
it has not paid or given and will not pay or give any third party any money or other consideration
for obtaining this Agreement.
8.3 Covenant Against Discrimination. Contractor covenants that, by and for
itself, its heirs, executors, assigns, and all persons claiming under or through them, that there
shall be no discrimination against or segregation of, any person or group of persons on account
of race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, national origin, or ancestry in the performance
of this Agreement. Contractor shall take affirmative action to insure that applicants are
employed and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color,
creed, religion, sex, marital status, national origin, or ancestry.
