Agenda Item 6
6.\nCONTRACT AMENDMENT: PARKING ENFORCEMENT SERVICES – F2M21-23,\nC2M21-21, M2M25-79\nThe current agreement with Inter-Con Security Systems for parking enforcement services\nexpires June 30, 2026. Staff reached out to Inter-Con Security Systems to add Automated\nLicense Plate Recognition (ALPR) to the Inter-Con vehicles to maximize efficiency when\nrunning license plates and matching them with overnight permits. The service will cost an\nadditional $64,931.40 for FY 25/26 and $52,290.41 for FY 26/27. However, the cost is\nexpected to be offset by increased parking citation revenues resulting from expanded\nparking enforcement coverage. Staff recommends amending the contract to add the cost\nof the ALPRs to vehicles. In addition, staff is requesting to extend the contract for an\nadditional four years through June 30, 2030, aligning with the City’s parking citation\nsystem contract. Staff recommends dispensing with the competitive bidding process under\nMunicipal Code Section 3.38.050 to avoid operational disruptions.\nRecommended Action:\nCity Council approve an amendment, subject to final\nlanguage approval by the City Manager and City Attorney, to the contract between InterCon Security Systems, Inc. and the City of Alhambra (C2M21-21) for parking enforcement\nservices in an amount not to exceed $6,605,615.30 to extend the current contract for an\nadditional four years through June 30, 2030, with the option to extend three separate oneyear terms; authorize the Finance Director to appropriate an additional $117,221.81 in\nexpenditures and increase budgeted revenues by $100,000 per year in the FY 25/26 and\n26/27 budget; authorize the Chief of Police to execute said agreement; and, direct staff to\nundertake the steps necessary to finalize Council’s action.
