After a qualification evaluation, CSTI and seven additional <br />vendors were deemed qualified. <br />On December 1, 2020, the Santa Ana City Council reviewed and approved seven vendor <br />agreements for training and exercise for the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area. At that time <br />CSTI, which is the training component of the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal <br />OES), indicated they would be significantly delayed in the return of their agreement. The <br />Project Manager opted to move forward with the remaining seven agreements to avoid <br />unnecessary delays in services to the Urban Area. The December 1, 2020 staff report <br />informed the City Council that CSTI was delayed due to an extended agreement review <br />process, and that the item would be presented at a future City Council meeting for <br />consideration. <br />CSTI has since returned a signed agreement to the City and is prepared to move forward <br />with the agreement. This action will add CSTI to a cadre of seven vendors approved
