Summary Explanation/Background
The Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD) established a County Business Enterprise (CBE) participation goal of 25%. Universal Protection Service, LLC d/b/a Allied Universal Security Services, LLC committed to 25% CBE participation and Global Security Consulting Group, Inc., committed to 25% CBE participation. The respective participation plans were reviewed and approved by OESBD (Exhibit 4).
The purpose of these agreements is to engage the contractor(s) to provide security guard services at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and North Perry Airport; Group 1 - Terminal Inspections at FLL, Group 2 - Airside and Landside Operations at FLL, and Group 3 - Security Guard Services at HWO (Exhibits 1-3).
On June 15, 2021 (Item No. 102), the Board approved Request for Proposals (RFP) No. GEN2120413P1, Security Guard Svcs for Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Int'l & North Perry Airports. The RFP was advertised and, at the time of the submittal deadline on March 2, 2022, eight firms submitted proposals in response to the RFP.
On June 10, 2022, a Combination Initial and Final Evaluation Committee meeting was held. The Evaluation Committee evaluated, scored, and ranked the firms: (Group 1) 1 - Universal Protection Service, LLC d/b/a Allied Universal Security Services, LLC, 2 - Global Security Consulting Group, Inc., 3 - Security Alliance, LLC, and 4 - American Guard Services, Inc.; (Group 2) 1 - Universal Protection Service, LLC d/b/a Allied Universal Security Services, LLC, 2 - Global Security Consulting Group, Inc., 3 -Security Alliance, LLC, and 4 - American Guard Services, Inc.; and (Group 3) 1 - Universal Protection Service, LLC d/b/a Allied Universal Security Services, LLC, and 2 - American Guard Services, Inc.
The Evaluation Committee’s proposed recommendation of ranking was posted on the Purchasing Division website from July 13 - 15, 2022, which provided an opportunity for any proposer or interested party to present any new or additional information regarding the responsibility of the proposers. The Evaluation Committee’s final recommendation of ranking was posted on the Purchasing Division website from July 18 - 22, 2022, which provided an opportunity for any aggrieved proposer to file a formal protest. No objection or protest was received.
The County held five negotiation meetings with Universal Protection Service, LLC d/b/a Allied Universal Security Services, LLC: August 30, September 9, September 15, October 26, and November 1, 2022. The County held six negotiation meetings with Global Security Consulting Group, Inc.: August 30, September 9, September 16, October 27, October 28, and November 2, 2022. These meetings were attended by representatives of Universal Protection Service, LLC d/b/a Allied Universal Security Services, LLC; Global Security Consulting Group, Inc.; and staff from the Broward County Aviation Department, County Attorney’s Office, Finance and Administrative Services Department, Risk Management Division, and the Purchasing Division.
Global Security Consulting Group, Inc., the first ranked firm for Group 2 - Airside and Landside Operations at FLL, is not the incumbent and requires a period of transition to provide the essential services. To accommodate this transition period, the existing Agreement with the incumbent, Universal Protection Services, LLC d/b/a Allied Universal Security Services, will need to be extended for a one-month period to provide continuity in service. Motion D seeks a one-month extension for airside and landside security personnel at FLL with the incumbent and will provide minimum hourly rates and benefits consistent with the recently amended Living Wage Ordinance.
The Agreement between Broward County and Global Security Consulting Group, Inc., for Security Guard Services for FLL (RFP No. GEN2120413P1) Group 2 - Airside and Landside Operations at FLL does not contain the standard insurance language requiring “If Contractor maintains broader coverage or higher limits than the insurance requirements stated in Exhibit C [of the Agreement], County shall be entitled to all such broader coverages and higher limits.” This was negotiated and approved by Broward County’s Risk Management Division.
