Project Description

Bid Title:	Request for Proposals for Park Security Services
Category:	Professional Consulting
Status:	Open

Description: The City’s Community Services Department operates and maintains parks, open spaces, facilities, and public spaces, which include Malibu Bluffs Park and Legacy Park. These parks have the highest visitation rate in the City and have become a central congregation site for people experiencing homelessness. The City has documented camping, storage of personal belongings and shopping carts, trespassing, damage to park property, and illegal activity at these parks. While City staff, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and the City’s Homeless Outreach Team conduct regular field checks, it is not feasible to control illegal activity at all times of the day. To deter, address, and report illegal activity at Malibu Bluffs Park and Legacy Park, the City seeks to contract park security services. Hiring park security guards would enhance current efforts to improve public safety. Additional safety measures that have already been implemented by the City include updated signage and outreach efforts. Staff are also in the process of adding security surveillance systems which will be integrated into the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Real-Time Watch Center. In November 2025, Council approved a 120-day contract for armed guard services at Malibu Bluffs Park and Legacy Park to improve public safety, and the City has worked with an existing contractor to provide these services since December 10, 2025. The City is issuing this Request for Proposals (RFP) for park security services to award a long-term contract for security services to continue to address criminal activity and achieve consistent public safety coverage at two of the City’s most visited parks. The ideal Park Security Services contractor will provide comprehensive park security services in accordance with the City’s Municipal Code and work collaboratively with all City Departments and Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Deputies to ensure public safety during the hours of operation. The ideal Park Security Services Contractor will provide marked vehicles for on-duty park security guards to enhance visibility. The park security guards are to abide by a Code of Conduct provided by the hiring company to the City. The park security guards are to be armed as a deterrent given the potential for altercation and are to patrol in a pair as an extra layer of security.
