Subject: Approval of an Agreement with Patrol Masters, Inc. for school crossing
guard se rvices in an amount not to exceed $368,352.
Recommended Action
Adopt a Resolution approving an agreement with Patrol Masters, Inc. for school crossing guard
services in an amount not to exceed $368,352.
Executive Summary
The city has provided school crossing guard services at several area schools under the
supervision of the Police Department since 2000. This service covers 33 locations at 16
elementary and middle schools throughout the city. The current agreement, including three
one-year extensions, expires on Oct. 6, 2019. A request for bids (Bid Number 20-01) for a new
agreement was advertised in July 2019, resulting in receipt of two bids. Responsive bids were
received from American Guard Services and Patrol Masters, Inc. After completing a best value
evaluation, Patrol Masters, Inc. was selected as the best value for the city.
The new agreement is for a one-year period, with the option for the City Manager to renew for
three additional one-year periods. Pursuant to CMC Section 3.28.040(D)(l), the City Council
shall be the awarding authority for any goods, services and/or professional services costing
more than $100,000 per agreement year.
Discussion
The city's Traffic Engineering Division of Public Works evaluates school locations based on
criteria contained in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD),
Section 7D .02 Adult Crossing Guards. Currently, there are 35 locations at 16 different schools
where crossing guard services are recommended. The crossing guards are present at their
dedicated locations in the mornings during school starting hours and in the afternoons during
school release hours, and they adjust their schedules during minimum days. A full list of all
locations is provided in Exhibit 2.
Following a formal bidding process, the city previously contracted with Patrol Masters for
school crossing guard services on August 25, 2015 for crossing guards at 22 locations
October 8, 2019 Item #7 Page 1 of 15
throughout the city. The contract was extended for an additional three years. During this time,
the contractor provided professional and reliable services with no reported incidents.
Fiscal Analysis
The vendor will bill the city at a rate of $25.99 per hour per location for 38 weeks of the school
year. The total cost of the new contract is $368,352. The previous contract was $249,728 and
that amount was funded in the adopted FY2019-20 budget. The remaining $118,624 will be
requested as a carryforward to FY2019-20 using FY2018-19 General Fund budgetary savings.
The increase in cost is due to an increase in the hourly rate by the contractor during the bidding
process, as well as the addition of 12 locations as recommended by the Traffic Engineering
Division between 2015 to 2019. The cost ofthe contract includes applicant screening, training,
and equipment for the crossing guards.
Next Steps
A total amount of $118,624 will be carried forward from the FY2018-19 budget, and a purchase
order will be opened to begin the purchasing process with the vendor in an amount not to
exceed $368,352. Crossing guard services will continue without interruption.
Environmental Evaluation (CEQA)
Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21065, this action does not constitute a "project"
within the meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change
in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment,
and therefore does not require environmental review.
Public Notification
This item was noticed in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act and was available for public
review at least 72 hours prior to the scheduled meeting date.

Cindy Anderson, Senior Management A'll~

{city of
Carlsbad
Re: Additional Materials Related to Staff Report Item No. 7 -Approve Agreement with
Patrol Masters, Inc.
This memorandum provides an update to Agenda Item No. 7 for the City Council meeting on Oct.
8, 2019.
The first paragraph of the Executive Summary should be amended as follows:
The city has provided school crossing guard services at several area schools under the
supervision of the Police Department since 2000. This service covers~ 35 locations at 16
elementary and middle schools throughout the city. The current agreement, including three
one-year extensions, expires on Oct. 6, 2019. A request for bids (Bid Number 20-01) for a new
agreement was advertised in July 2019, resulting in receipt of two bids. Responsive bids were
received from American Guard Services and Patrol Masters, Inc. After completing a best value
evaluation, Patrol Masters, Inc. was selected as the best value for the city.
The second paragraph of the Fiscal Analysis should be amended as follows:
The increase in cost is due to an increase in the hourly rate by the contractor during the bidding
process, as well as the addition of~ 13 locations as recommended by the Traffic Engineering
Division between 2015 to 2019. The cost of the contract includes applicant screening, training,
and equipment for the crossing guards.

Traffic Study Criteria
Guidance:An Adult Crossing Guard should be considered when:
•Special situations make it necessary to assist elementary school pedestrians in crossing the street.
•A change in the school crossing location is being made, but prevailing conditions require school crossing supervision until the change is constructed and it is not reasonable to install another form of traffic control or technique for this period.
Recommendations
•Staff recommends the adoption of a resolution approving an
agreement with Patrol Masters, Inc. for school crossing guard
services in an amount not to exceed $368,352.
