Title
Motion 25-237, approving agreement for Edmonds New Start Center security services
body
DEPARTMENT: Executive
ORIGINATOR: Kara Main-Hester
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Ken Klein 5/9/27
PURPOSE: The purpose of this motion is to have Council authorize and approve the executive to sign an agreement for 24/7 security services for the Edmonds New Start Center.
BACKGROUND: ??The New Start Centers have had the need for 24/7 security services to ensure site security for the properties. The County Council approved the Piggyback agreement with Washington State Department of Enterprise Services (DES) for Security Guard Services in Motion 24-396. Pacific Security was an approved vendor under the DES competition and the County executed a contract with the firm. The services approved under Motion 24-396 expired while DES was experiencing unexpected delays in completing a new competition for Security Guard Services thereby the Piggyback agreement is no longer valid. The DES competition is now expected to be completed in June 2025 creating a potential and unacceptable gap in service, so the Facilities Department recommends that Council temporarily waive competitive requirements and authorize the department to continue contracting with Pacific Security. It is expected that security services will be needed until permits are received and the sites turned over to the general contractor. Additional services could be needed during the short time between completion of renovation and the site operator taking site control of the centers. Funding for the services was previously appropriated and was included in the budget presented to Council in April 2025.
