City Council to Consider Contract for Crossing Guard Services For PUSD School Sites

On Monday the City Council will consider a three-year, $853,554 contract with All City Management Services, Inc. (ACMS) for crossing guard services at select Pasadena Unified School District sites to promote school area pedestrian safety throughout Pasadena. 

ACMS has been providing crossing guard services for Pasadena since 2003. The City Council extended the contract four times since. 

The most recent contract with the firm, approved in November 2018,  will expire on June 30. 

City staff is recommending the extension of the contract as ACMS got the highest-rated score among four proposers. 

“With over 30 years of experience, ACMS exclusively provides crossing guard services and has demonstrated experience as well as a strong management structure and track record. ACMS’s proposal establishes an understanding of the requirements of the scope of work, as well as the capacity to implement the required work,” the staff report read.

ACMS reportedly provides crossing guard services to over 150 cities, counties and school districts throughout California including the County of Los Angeles Office of Education and the Cities of San Marino and Beverly Hills.

If approved by the City Council, the contract will be effective beginning August 2022 through June 2025. 

The proposed contract with ACMS provides the City of Pasadena the option to extend the contract for two additional one-year terms valued at $301,114 per year. 

The contract provides crossing guard services while school is in session at a total of 14 intersections at 10 PUSD school sites including Blair Middle School, Hamilton Elementary School, Longfellow Elementary School, Madison Elementary School, Marshall Fundamental Elementary School, among other PUSD sites.
