Request for Qualifications for Public Safety Patrol Services

Due: Wednesday, April 23, 2025

INTRODUCTION

The City of Malibu is requesting written qualifications from Public Safety Patrol Service

Providers for the provision of comprehensive Public Safety Patrol Services throughout the

City neighborhoods and areas of Pacific Coast Highway impacted by the Palisades Fire.

BACKGROUND

The City of Malibu (City) is a coastal city located in the northwestern portion of Los Angeles

County, California, along 21 miles of the Pacific Ocean, with a population of approximately

10,000. The City is a general law city incorporated under California law in 1991. It operates

under the Council/Manager form of government and is considered a contract city. The five

Members of the City Council are elected at large. They serve staggered four-year terms,

with the Mayor selected among the Councilmembers. The City covers approximately 21

miles along the coast and offers a full range of municipal services. The City has 108 full-

time employees and 12 full-time equivalent part-time employees. The city, organized into

seven departments, provides several in-house services, including management and

administrative services, building safety, community services, public safety and

preparedness, environmental sustainability, planning, and public works. Police and fire

services are provided via contract with Los Angeles County. Other services, such as the

City Attorney, water, street maintenance, and garbage collection services, are also

provided by contract or from Los Angeles County. The City’s Adopted Fiscal Year 2024-

2025 General Fund Operating Budget is $61.8 million, and the City’s Overall Operating

Budget is $85.9 million.

On January 7, 2025, the Palisades Fire began in the Santa Monica Mountains hillsides of

Pacific Palisades, extending throughout Pacific Palisades, Topanga, and the City of

Malibu. The fire was contained on January 31, 2025, and the City has been steadfast on

working with all federal, state, county, and private utility partners to ensure an efficient

recovery process since then. Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) remains under resident and

contractor-only closure from Will Rogers State Beach in Pacific Palisades to Carbon

Beach in Malibu due to the widespread damage caused by the Palisades Fire. The

closure is in place until further notice, but it is expected to be lifted this summer, which

would welcome a strong influx of visitors to the city. Many visitors looking to access the

City’s shopping centers, business districts, hiking trails, and beaches would pass through

neighborhoods and areas of PCH heavily impacted by the Palisades Fire, increasing the

risk of criminal activity.

Currently, the California National Guard’s Military Police Brigade provides public safety

coverage at all canyon road entrances and access checkpoints within the burn area;

however, they’re expected to withdraw their resources prior to the summer. Though

support will be provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) as

needed, LASD has resumed pre-Palisades Fire operations, and the burn area will have

decreased law enforcement presence as a result. To deter potential criminal activity and

achieve more consistent public safety surveillance during an influx of visitors that is

expected after a potential PCH opening, the City aims to add public safety patrol services

throughout the areas of concern.

The ideal Public Safety Patrol Service Provider will provide public safety vehicles for each

assigned on-duty public safety patrol staff member. City-issued decals are to be attached

to each public safety patrol vehicle while operating within the City. Each staff member is

to follow uniform policies and a code of conduct in accordance with the hiring of a public

safety patrol service provider. Community member inquiries outside of the scope of work

are to be handled by City staff.

SCOPE OF WORK

The City is requesting written qualifications from public safety patrol providers for the

provision of comprehensive public safety patrol services for up to a two-year period.

The professional services provider will be required to perform the following:

1) Conduct Public Safety Patrol Services in neighborhoods impacted by the Palisades

Fire and areas within the resident and contractor-only closures, including the

neighborhoods of Big Rock, Calle del Barco, Las Flores, La Costa, Rambla

Vista/Pacifica, Carbon Canyon, and along the stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway

within the burn area.

2) Coordinate with City staff and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department to

develop coverage schedules to maximize effectiveness and prevent duplication of

effort.

3) Conduct routine check-ins with the City’s Public Safety Department to provide an

overview of criminal activity, community behavior, traffic, and other concerns

occurring within the patrol areas.

4) Contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, as needed, to respond to

criminal activity in the patrol areas, including theft, arson, vandalism, and more.

5) Contact the City’s Parking Enforcement Team, as needed, to respond to illegal

parking that poses public safety hazards.

6) Participate in community meetings, as needed, to provide insight into public safety

patrol coverage and gain knowledge about areas where additional patrols will be

required.

7) Be available to the City’s Public Safety Department, the Los Angeles County

Sheriff’s Department, and Los Angeles County Fire Department and Paramedics to

respond to requests for service during operation periods, which include scaling up

or scaling down patrol coverage.
