DATE: June 21, 2011
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FRO : Joni Pattillo, City Manager
SUBJECT: Annual Contract Review: Crossing Guard Services~g~
Prepared by: Lmda Thuman, Lieutenant ~/~
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will conduct an annual contract review of the City's crossing guard eontractor,
All City Management Services, Inc. A proposed amendment has been included that will extend
the contract until June 30, 2012, and increase the number of crossing guards from 9 to 10 due
to Dublin Unified School District's expansion.

The estimated cost to fund crossing guard services for Fiscal Year 2011-2012 is $122,963. This
allows for up to eleven crossing guard locations, plus summer school coverage for the
elementary site. Sufficient funding has been included in Fiscal Year 2011-2012 budget and will
be funded by the General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Resolution approving the amendment to the
agreement with All City Management Services, Inc. for the provision of crossing guard services
for Fiscal Year 2011-2012.

DESCRIPTION:
The City of Dublin currently funds the provision of adult crossing guard services. Adult crossing
guards are typically assigned where official supervision of elementary school-aged pedestrians
is desirable while they cross a public street on the "suggested route to school." Further,
pursuant to the State of California Traffic Manual, Section 10-07.2, "adult crossing guards are a
supplemental technique and not a traffic control device". The City has funded crossing guard
services since Dublin's incorporation in 1982, with the exception of school year 1993-94 when
the Dublin Unified School District (DUSD) funded the service: The City has provided this
service under contract with various agencies, including Alameda County Department of Public
Works, TSU-Temporary Staffing, and with the current provider All City Management Services,
Inc.
The City of Dublin currently provides crossing guards that serve all six public elementary
schools. In Fiscal Year 2011-2012 an additional elementary school, Kolb Elementary, will be
added to DUSD, initially requiring additional crossing guard services. On April 19, 2011, City
Council voted to support expansion of the Crossing Guard program to Kolb Elementary School.
The direction was to provide funding to accommodate up to'two crossing guard locations. The
second location was to be assigned only for the period that sidewalk improvements remained
incomplete.
Under the proposed base service levels, crossing guard services will be provided at 10 separate
locations, for four hours per day, 180 days per year, throughout the regular school year. There
is funding available to accommodate one additional crossing guard if the need arises. The
proposed crossing guard locations are as follows:
1. Aspen & Central Parkway (Dougherty Elementary)
2. Shannon Ave. and San Ramon Valley Blvd. (Dublin Elementary)
3. Shannon Ave. and Vomac Rd. (Dublin Elementary)
4. Antone Way and Grafton (Green Elementary) -
5. South Dublin Ranch Drive & VVoodshire Lane (EM Fallon School)
6. Gleason and Tassajara (EM Fallon School)
7. Amador Valley Blvd. and Burton St. (Fredricksen Elementary)
8. Oak Bluff Lane and Newfields Lane.(Green Elementary)
9. Bonniewood Lane and Davona Drive (Murray Elementary)
10. Palermo and Lockhart (Kolb Elementary)
Summer School Coveraqe:
Additionally, during the summer school session, crossing guard coverage ~s provided at one
location, three hours daily, covering approximately 25 school days:
1. Shannon Ave and Vomac Rd (Dublin Elementary)
Current Contract Performance - All City Manaqement
G All City Management Services, Inc. (ACMS) provides a variety of traffic and safety-related
services including crossing guard services, parking enforcement, and traffic control to public
agencies. The City of Dublin has contracted with ACMS since July 1, 1995 (Attachment 1).
ACMS.is headquartered in Los Angeles and serves numerous cities in Northern and Southern
California. In response to the increased demand for crossing guard services in Northern
Page 2 .of 3
California, ACMS has assigned additional personnel to the area. Dublin is currently assigned
one Area Supervisor and one Field Supervisor who monitor the activities of crossing guards.
ACMS has submitted a proposal to continue to provide crossing guard services to the City of
Dublin in Fiscal Year 2011-2012 (Attachment 2). The proposed services involve the direct
provision of adult crossing guards, along with. all administrative support for the program,
including personnel recruitment, training, supervision, and payroll functions. For Fiscal Year
2011-2012 ACMS proposes to maintain their contract rates at 2010-2011 levels. The City
budgeted $100,830 for crossing guard services in Fiscal Year 2010-2011. The estimated cost
to provide crossing guards at 11 'locations for Fiscal Year 2011-2012 is $122,963.10. This
number is based on 7,995 hours of contract service at the rate of $15.38 per hour. As noted
above, ten of the locations are established as a base level of service and the eleventh location
will depend on the timing of completion of improvements adjacent to Kolb Elementary School.
Consistent with previous contract reviews, Staff has evaluated the cost effectiveness of the
services currently being provided by ACMS. Staff believes that ACMS has executed the terms
of contract fully. The contractual agreement with ACMS appears to be the most cost effective~
and efficient manner in which to provide the school crossing guard services. The ability to utilize
a well-established program with a sufficient pool of qualified personnel benefits the community.
In addition, the individuals assigned to the 'City of Dublin are adequately trained and supervised.
For the reasons outlined above, Staff would recommend that the City Council adopt the
proposed resolution amending the agreement with All City Management Services, Inc. to
provide Crossing Guard Services for Fiscal Year 2011-2012 (Attachment 3). ~
