HomeMy WebLinkAboutStaff Report 331-05Guidelines were adopted and approved by Council in February 1993. The assignment of adult
crossing guard locations is considered by the City/School Traffic Safety Committee only for those
intersections that meet' minimum standards and which have been approved by the City/School
Traffic Safety Committee. These standards (Attachment C) require that at least 20 school-age
pedestrians utilize the crosswalk location per hour, on the way to or from school. In addition, other
traffic-related factors are considered such as crossing location,' traffic volume, CalTrain crossings,
availability of bus service, andlor the number of traffic lanes involved.
All City Management Services, Inc. has been responsible for the management of all crossing guard
program functions during the regular school year and the summer session since August 1999. At
that time, All City Management Services, Inc. was selected following a request for Proposal (RFP)
process (CMR:326:99). The company has provided adult crossing guard personnel, supervision and
safety equipment, the operation of pedestrian signals, and has assumed responsibility for the safe
crossing of school-aged pedestrians at 26 designated school area crosswalks.
DISCUSSION
The work to be performed under the contract is for providing crossing guard services and
administrative oversight at locations and hours designated by the City. Staff sent out Requests for
Bids to three vendors, and one bid was returned. One vendor who did not submit a bid stated they
would be unable to meet the full specifications for the amount of work involved. Staffhas reviewed
the one bid that was submitted and recommends that the bid of $13.89-$14.81 per hour submitted
by All City Management, Inc. be accepted. The bid is three percent below the staff estimate of
$296,000 per year. The change order amount of $29,600, which equals 10 percent of the total
contract, is requested because over the course of the contract, additional locations and hours staffed,
which meet Council guidelines and approved by the City/School Traffic Safety Committee, may be
added. Factors include enhanced summer school sessions or new locations being added due to
residential redevelopment of previously zoned commercial areas.

working outdoors in inclement weather, and the danger of directing traffic. As a result, it often
takes a significant period of time to fill vacancies.
Parking Enforcement Officers, Community Service Officers or Patrol officers must be used
when temporary vacancies need to be filled. One crossing guard location was staffed each
morning by a Parking Enforcement Officer from September until February due to a vacancy and
the difficulty of finding a qualified person. The coverage of the crossing guard locations takes
these regular employees away from their normal duties for one to one and one-half hours in both
the morning and afternoon. With the addition of new crossing guards, as well as the ongoing
difficulty in recruitment, scheduling and staffing, the adult crossing guard program is currently
consuming approximately .35 FTE of staff s time. Staff research indicates that a number of
cities contract their adult crossing guard programs to private vendors that specialize in providing
this service. As a result, staff distributed a Request for Proposal (RFP) for adult crossing guard
services. This includes coverage at the actual locations, as well as the administration of hiring,
training and scheduling.
Selection Process
On June 14, 1999, staff sent RFPs to 14 firms. A three-week response time was provided. One
vendor, All City Management Services, submitted a proposal. On July 7, 1999, staff clarified
an issue that was raised about the RFP and redistributed the RFP. Once again, All ,City
Management Services was the only company to submit a proposal. Staff found the proposal to
be satisfactory. Staff checked the company's references for previous work performed and found
no complaints. A partial list of cities currently using All City Management Services for crossing
.guard management include Mountain View, Pittsburg, Pleasanton, Tracy, Dublin and Moraga.
RESOURCE IMPACT
Funds in the amount of $133,000 were approved in the FY 1999-2000 Police Department's
budget for crossing guard services. In 1998-99, the department spent $97,139 in hourly salaries
for crossing guard services and $36,130 in regular staffing to recruit, staff and supervise the
program.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS
The provision of adult crossing guards is consistent with City policy. This report recommends
a change from temporary City employees providing the service to having a private contractor
provide the service.
