Additionally, on December 18, 2025, City Councial approved an increase to the contract in an amount of $2,095,000 per year for a total annual amount of $5,595,000.

Recent change orders have expanded services to include security guard coverage at City acquired properties near Blackstone & McKinely Grade Separation project due to the vandalism of vacant buildings, Fresno Sanitary Landfill, Granite Park Sports Complex, Police Department Headquarters, Clarion Pointe, and unforeseen security needs.

In addition, Staff recommends approving a one-time increase for security needs at the Blackstone & McKinley Grade Separation Project acquired properties, Clarion Pointe, and Fresno Sanitary Landfill as detailed in the section below. BACKGROUND A Notice Inviting Proposals was advertised on September 19, 2024, and posted on the City’s website. Over 600 potential proposers were notified of the RFP, 75 of which downloaded the RFP documents. Nineteen proposals were received by the October 22, 2024 deadline. A Selection Committee determined Universal Protection Services, LP dba Allied Universal Services (Allied) provided the best value to the City and recommended an award. On April 24, 2025, City Council approved a contract with Allied for $3,500,000 per year for one year with four optional one-year extensions to provide Citywide security services.

As future increases to this agreement are subject to Council approval per Resolution 2018-075, General Services has included $300,000 in spending authority to quickly respond to unforeseen Department requests for added security during the remainder of the contract duration.
