III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
On January 7, 1987, the Housing Authority issued a Request for Proposals for
security services at El Pueblo, Pittsburg. At 3:00 p.m, on February 17, 1987 the
bids were opened and All Pro Security, 2617 Pleasant Hill Road, Pleasant Hill , CA
94523 was the low bidder.
During the regular meeting of the Advisory Housing Commission on Monday,
February 23, 1987, testimony was heard from residents of E1 Pueblo complimenting
Argus Security Patrol and requesting that Argus be allowed to continue as the
security services provider for E1 Pueblo. After lengthy discussion and comment by
the Chairperson that according to HUD regulations and the Housing Authority' s adopted
Procurement Policy, the bid must be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, a
motion was made and passed on a 4-2-1 vote recommending award of the bid to Argus
Security, the second low bidder.
At the end of the meeting, after discussing the legality of the vote
recommending award of the bid to Argus Security, the Advisory Housing Commission
voted to reconsider the question and requested a legal opinion on its reconsideration
of the award of the bid. The Advisory Housing Commission then unanimously voted to
to recommend awarding the bid to All Pro Security and to authorize the Executive

contract for security services at El Pueblo, Pittsburg. Additionally, the Advisory
.Housing Commission requested that the Board of Commissioners take into consideration
the success, industry, cooperation and efficiency of Argus Security Patrol , the
security guard service currently serving the people of E1 Pueblo.
A legal opinion on the legality of the reconsideration of the vote concerning
the security services contract was obtained from County Counsel and indicates that
the subsequent decision to recommend the award of the contract to All Pro Security
appears to be in order. County Counsel further states that the recommendation to
hire All Pro may be taken to the Board of Commissioners without further action by the
Advisory Housing. Commission.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board of Commissioners elect to not authorize award of the bid to
All Pro Security, the Board would have to disqualify all bids and. issue a new Request
for Proposals, at considerable cost to the Housing Authority.
