| Approval of Amendment No. 2 to extend the term of service with Blackstone Security Services, Inc. |
| Background Information |
At the September 2, 2014, regular Board of Supervisors' meeting, the Board approved Gila County's utilization of a State of Arizona, State Procurement Office contract with Blackstone Security Services, Inc. to provide armed security guards at the entrance to the Globe Courthouse to man the security equipment.
Staff sought input from the Sheriff's Office, County Attorney's Office and the Courts on utilizing armed security or unarmed security. The consensus was to continue to use armed security.
On September 1, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement which renewed the contract for one additional year beginning September 15, 2015, through September 15, 2016. |
| Evaluation |
The existing term of service between Gila County and Blackstone Security Services, Inc. will expire on September 15, 2016. Staff desires to extend the term of service for an additional year.
The service will provide two guards posted at the main entrance of the Globe Courthouse, from 7:30 A.M. to 5:30 P.M., Monday through Friday to man the security equipment at the entrance the public will be utilizing, as well as to locker any weapons brought into the Courthouse by a member of the public. The annual cost to the County of $82,750 reflects the hourly rates for which the State has contracted with Blackstone Security Services, Inc. less the ten holidays the County facilities will not be open for business. |
| Conclusion |
| Staff wishes to extend the term of service with Blackstone Security Services, Inc. to provide armed security to man the security equipment in the Gila County Courthouse in Globe, AZ.
