RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the Executive Director to execute the purchase order # 24-03902 and associated disbursements with Universal Protection Service LP, DBA Allied Universal Security Services (“Allied”) in the amount of $362,217, using the State of Utah Contract #MA4436.
BACKGROUND:
UTA has utilized armed guard security services for over 20 years to provide employees with safety and security. UTA has approximately 135 Ticket Vending Machines on its rail platforms that require frequent service for fare collection. UTA’s safety commitment is a top priority, so having an armed guard with them as they perform service, is a critical protection.
On February 5, 2024, UTA partnered with Allied to provided armed guard security services for fare collection. The contract 23-03818CG period of performance expires January 15, 2025.
DISCUSSION:
UTA Staff is requesting to utilize State Contract MA4436 with Allied to continue the services of an armed security guard. Utilizing this State Contract instead of extending the current contract 23-03818CG will reduce UTA expense by an estimated amount of $4.80 per hour.
PO 24-03902 is for the period of 2025-2029 until the State Contract MA4436 expires on 2/28/29.
