TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute all documents necessary to amend Contract No. 95866000LBPD24750 with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, for providing law enforcement services, to increase the contract amount by $3,147,962, for a revised contract amount not to exceed $33,222,590, for the term of July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2022. (Districts 1,2,6,7,8)
DISCUSSION
On March 7, 2017, the City Council approved the Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) to enter into Contract No. PS95866000LBPD24750 with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro) to provide law enforcement services daily based on an eight-station model focusing on addressing crime, disorder, and reducing the system's vulnerability to terrorism. The total cost of the contract over the five-year period was an amount not to exceed $30,074,628.
On December 5, 2018, LA Metro approved an enhancement to the contract of one Detective, two Quality of Life Officers, and the purchase of one vehicle. Subsequently, LBPD began providing those services and receiving reimbursement from LA Metro. No formal amendment to the contract for these services was approved by the LA Metro Board until 2021. Modification No. 3, for these services, increases the contract amount by $3,147,962, bringing the total five-year contract amount to $33,222,590.
LBPD staff anticipates the revised contract amount will not be sufficient to allow for full reimbursement through the contract term, which ends June 30, 2022. The projected costs for the five-year contract are approximately $36.1 million. LBPD personnel are working with LA Metro on an additional contract modification, anticipated to be considered by the LA Metro Board before the end of this year.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Arturo D. Sanchez on September 10, 2021 and by Budget Analysis Officer Greg Sorensen on September 14, 2021.
