DISCUSSION: The Police Department (PD) approached the Purchasing Division to procure an annual agreement for crossing guards. The department will utilize this agreement to provide crossing guards for school crossings in the morning and afternoon hours for normal and summer school days during the school year. Each school crossing guard will work three hours per day. Currently, the Police Department covers 11 school districts and 137 schools with elementary age children for a total of 235 intersections. All 235 intersections will be provided coverage. Purchasing issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) which consisted of detailed specifications describing the City's standards and expectations and the required duties of the crossing guards. This RFP was advertised in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on March 31, 2021, April 7, 2021, April 14, 2021, April 21, 2021, and April 28, 2021. Two responses were received, All City Management Services, Inc. and National Security & Protective Services, LLC. National Security & Protective Services, LLC. was deemed non -responsive by Purchasing because they did not submit all the required information. The remaining bid was evaluated by using Best Value criteria, which included purchase price, proposer's approach and methodology to perform services, proposer's related project experience handling City volume, proposer's references, proposer's plan and method for hiring crossing guards, and commitment to business equity participation. After evaluation, the panel concluded that All City Management Services, Inc. presented the best value to the City and therefore recommends the crossing guard agreement to All City Management Services, Inc.

FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current operating budget, as previously appropriated, in the General Fund to support the approval of the above recommendation and execution of the agreement.
