Heading
RECOMMENDATION
Title
AUTHORIZE the Chief Executive Officer to execute Contract Modification No. 8 to Contract No.PS560810024798 with RMI International, Inc. (RMI) to continue providing existing infrastructure protection services, increase the not-to-exceed contract value by $15,000,000 from $105,453,758 to $120,453,758, and extend the period of performance from October 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022.
Issue
ISSUE
The existing contract will expire on September 30, 2021. In order to continue the existing infrastructure protection services at Metro stations, parking lots/structures, and critical infrastructures, Contract Modification No. 8 is required. This modification will also allow time for System Security and Law Enforcement (SSLE) to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of Metro's existing infrastructure protection service requirements and consult with the newly formed Public Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC) in the development of the revised scope of services resulting in a new solicitation.
Background
BACKGROUND
RMI provides critical infrastructure protection services at selected locations of the regional Metro System to protect Metro assets and to prevent unlawful entry into secured areas, which if breached can disrupt Metro Operations and put Metro staff at risk. In order to continue to provide preventative physical security at Metro stations, parking lots/structures, and critical infrastructures, and to increase visible protection presence at bus/rail maintenance facilities consistent with industry best practices, Contract Modification No. 8 is required. Metro staff will continue to manage all areas being patrolled and guarded by RMI in an effort to deter and detect threats, mitigate security risks while minimizing costs wherever possible.
