Santa Fe renews deal with costlier security firm

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) -  

Santa Fe has extended an agreement with a security company for its city buildings despite the firm's higher cost.
 
The Santa Fe City Council recently voted 5-1 to renew a contract with Chavez Security for a second year even though the deal will cost half a million dollars more than bids from other companies.
 
Chavez Security is charging the city about $517,000 per year, a rate of $136,000 more than another competitor offered. That amounts to at least $540,000 over the course of the four-year contract.
 
Council members say the company received the contract through a fair process.
 
Chavez Security will be responsible for patrolling several downtown properties including parking lots and garages, the city's three libraries and the Santa Fe Community Convention Center.
