Title
Consider recommendations regarding a Contract Renewal for Countywide Security Services Provided by Triumph Protection Group, as follows: (4/5 Vote Required)
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a Service Contract with Triumph Protection Group in an amount not to exceed $2,531,496.00 for the period of September 23, 2025, through June 30, 2026, with an option to renew thereafter for two additional one-year terms;
b) Find, in accordance with Government Code Section 31000, that the County of Santa Barbara does not have the employee resources to provide the security services being performed by Triumph Protection Group and that the County’s economic interests are best served by the contract;
c) Approve Budget Revision Request No. 0010815; and
d) Determine that the proposed actions are exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, as they involve the maintenance of existing public structures that will result in no or negligible expansion of existing use and approve the filing of the Notice of Exemption on that basis.
