BACKGROUND
The City of Chino provides professional security guard services to monitor municipal facilities, assist with conflict de-escalation, and maintain a safe environment for employees and visitors. These services are regularly utilized at City Hall, the Senior Center, and the Carolyn Owens Community Center, which host public transactions, recreational programming, and community meetings. The City’s current contract for these services expires on June 30, 2026. In anticipation of this expiration, staff evaluated municipal security needs and initiated a competitive procurement process to select a service provider for the upcoming term.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
On April 16, 2026, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP No. 2026-0013) for comprehensive, unarmed private security patrol services via PlanetBids, in accordance with City procurement policies. The RFP established specific operational, technological, and training requirements designed to provide consistent coverage across the three designated municipal locations.
The requested scope of services requires the contractor to provide three unarmed, uniformed security officers and a high-visibility, marked patrol vehicle to conduct both foot and vehicular patrols.
The City received a total of thirty-three proposals by the designated deadline. An evaluation committee consisting of staff from Administration, Community Services, Parks and Recreation, and Police departments reviewed and scored each submission separately to maintain confidentiality and fairness. Staff then scored these proposals using the following weighted criteria:
• Experience/Qualifications: 20%
• Past Performance/References: 20%
• Plan Methodology/Project Approach: 30%
• Quality and Responsiveness of Proposal: 15%
• Cost Evaluation: 15%
Following the evaluation, American Global Security (AGS) was identified as the highest-ranked proposer.
