Council approves four‑year crossing‑guard contract shared with school districts
Summary
The council approved a four‑year professional services contract with All City Management Services Inc. to provide school crossing guard coverage at 32 sites; the total contract amount is not to exceed $2,447,615 and costs will be split equally with Tracy Unified and Jefferson School Districts.
The Tracy City Council unanimously approved a four‑year professional services agreement with All City Management Services Inc. to provide school pedestrian crossing‑guard services across 32 sites in the city.
Lieutenant Dan Garcia of the Tracy Police Department presented the contract, which runs from July 15, 2025, through July 14, 2029. Garcia told the council the agreement would supply crossing‑guard coverage for 32 locations, roughly three hours per day across 180 school days annually, totaling roughly 18,558 guard hours over the contract term. "This professional services contract will cover a 4 year term from 07/15/2025 to 07/14/2029 with the total amount not to exceed $2,447,615," Garcia said.
Garcia said the city will share the financial burden equally with Tracy Unified School District and Jefferson School District and that half of the expense will be offset by school contributions. The police department will fund the contract through its operations budget and the agreement tasks the vendor with recruitment, background checks, training and program oversight.
Public speakers encouraged additional safety investments, including illuminated crosswalk signage at identified high‑risk locations; several speakers urged the council and staff to pursue Safe Routes to School grants and further capital improvements to reduce unsupervised mid‑block risks. City staff said they regularly apply for state and federal Safe Routes grants and will prepare a memo with the latest grant‑application status.
The contract was approved by unanimous roll call. City staff said the agreement aligns with council strategic priorities for public safety and is aimed at maintaining a sustainable crossing‑guard program in coordination with the school districts.
What happens next: The vendor will begin onboarding and providing crossing guards on the project start date. Staff committed to follow up on grant applications and to provide a memo updating council on Safe Routes funding and potential locations for illuminated crosswalks.
