SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Department: Police
Prepared by: Todd Berringer,
Police Lieutenant
City Manager Approval: ______________
TOPIC: SECURITY SERVICES FOR THE SERVICE SUPPORT AREA
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AND CONTINUE
AS NEEDED A MONTH-TO-MONTH PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH
BARBIER SECURITY GROUP TO PROVIDE SECURITY SERVICES AT THE SERVICE
SUPPORT AREA, IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $31,770 MONTHLY
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute and continue as needed a month-to-month
agreement with Barbier Security Group to provide security services at the Service Support Area in an
amount not to exceed $31,770 monthly.
BACKGROUND:
In mid-2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the California Department of Transportation
(Caltrans) issued interim guidance restricting the removal of encampments on state property. In the fall
of 2020, the City began meeting with representatives from Caltrans and representatives from Marin
County due to the concern about the pandemic and expanding encampments in the Caltrans right-of-
way under the Central San Rafael viaduct. With the assistance of Senator McGuire, City staff began to
collaborate with the County of Marin and the State to engage in an effort to mitigate the growing public
health and safety issues associated with these encampments. An analysis of January through March of
2021, compared to the same time period a year prior, revealed a nearly 100% increase in the rate of
police and fire calls for service to the area.
City staff collaborated with the County of Marin and the State to establish a temporary Service Support
Area (SSA) between Fifth and Mission Avenues in June 2021. The SSA provides a safe, alternative
location for individuals who are experiencing homelessness where service social service providers can
meet with clients in a centralized area. This has been an effective approach toward getting individuals
the services, and ultimately the housing need, in a safe environment . All of the property under the freeway
is owned and controlled by Caltrans and Caltrans has been supportive of the City, County, and service
providers offering wrap around services at the SSA location.
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
ANALYSIS:
When the SSA first opened, the City entered into a short-term contract with Barbier Security Group for
security services staff thought would be needed to control access to the site. This agreement called for
staffing of the site by one uniformed security agent at the SSA, 24 hours per day, seven days per week
at a rate of $42.50 per hour, and additionally included City reimbursement of the company’s costs to
maintain a portable command center on the site. Barbier Security Group provides a necessary service
to the SSA to ensure the safety of the individuals residing at the SSA and the community and to restrict
access to the site by unauthorized persons. Additionally, Barbier Security Group maintains the peace
and directs service providers to the location of the individuals seeking assistance. There are currently
49 individuals experiencing homelessness currently residing at the SSA.
The services of Barbier Security Group have been reviewed and vetted by City staff and found to be of
high quality, and the company to be both responsive and responsible. Staff recommends that the City
continue to contract with Barbier Security Group for the secure operation of the SSA. The attached
resolution would authorize the City Manager to execute a new month-to-month agreement with Barbier
Security Group to provide one uniformed security agent at the SSA, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week
at a rate of $42.50 per hour. The proposed new agreement eliminates the requirement for Barbier
Security Group to provide a portable command center but includes City reimbursement in the amount of
$150 per month for their cost to rent a portable toilet for use by security personnel. The resolution would
also authorize the City Manager to continue the agreement until he determines that it is no longer needed,
at which point it may be terminated on 30 days’ notice.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed contract for security at the Service Support Area is month-to-month and can be cancelled
at any time with 30 days’ notice. The cost of security services provided to the SSA will not exceed $31,770
monthly and staff recommends funds from the American Recovery Plan Act (ARPA) be allocated towards
this contract.
OPTIONS:
The City Council has the following options to consider on this matter:
1. Adopt the resolution as proposed, approving the agreement with Barbier Security Group.
2. Adopt resolution with modifications.
3. Direct staff to return with more information.
4. Take no action.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute and to continue as necessary a month-to-
month agreement with Barbier Security Group to provide security services at the Service Support Area
in an amount not to exceed $31,770 monthly.
