On November 15, 2022 (Item No. 67), the Board approved the Agreement with Allied Universal for Security Services at FLL.
On June 4, 2024 (Item No. 66), the Board directed and authorized the Director of Purchasing to execute the First Amendment, which was executed on November 27, 2024. The First Amendment increased the 2024 bill rates to fund an increase in the cost of the security service employees’ healthcare plan.
The proposed Second Amendment will allow for the staffing of additional posts at Terminals 1 and 4 to maintain compliance with Transportation Security Administration ("TSA") National Amendment TSA-NA-23-02.

The current Not-To-Exceed amount of the contract is $31,949,808. The proposed Second Amendment will add $4,500,000 over the remaining three years of the contract for a new Not-To-Exceed amount of $36,449,808.
