EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Police Department is seeking to award a requirements contract for property board ups.
A committee was formed to evaluate all proposals. Based on this evaluation, staff recommends award of a three-year contract with an option of two one-year extensions to Beam and Company, Inc for the amount of $25,650.00. Funding for this contract is available within the adopted FY22 Budget.
BACKGROUND
When the Police Department responds to an incident where entry was made into a private business, residence, or non-profit, and the property cannot be secured due to damage to the building, we have a responsibility to maintain security until a responsible party can physically respond to the scene and take over. When a responsible party is unavailable, this contract allows us to call out a board up company to secure the location and get our police officers back in service. The cost is billed back to the business/resident/responsible to recover costs. Materials vary depending on the need, but typically involve plywood, lumber and assorted hardware. This service is critical, as these incidents are most likely to occur in the middle of the night when our staffing resources are sparse and keeping officers in service to combat crimes in progress is most important.
