HENSLEY, CHIEF OF POLICE April 20, 2005 Captain George Saadeh Santa Ana Police Department 60 Civic Center Plaza Santa Ana, CA 92702 Dear Captain Saadeh, On the 18th of February 2005, the City of Santa Ana and the City of Costa Mesa entered into an agreement to transfer or purchase equipment or services for FY04, Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI). The agreement included $128.000.00 in funding for security gates and fencing for the Costa Mesa Police Department and Costa Mesa Fire Station #5 facilities. The project included erecting security gates to both the rear vehicle entrances that access police and fire vehicle parking areas, as well as employee parking for both of the facilities. Pedestrian gates were also being included in the project. The vehicle and pedestrian gates would be accessed using card reader devices. Security camer,as would be added to an existing system that would provide the necessary visibility to the parking areas and gate access points. The company that provided the quotation for the project was Siemens, a company that has installed other security systems throughout the City. Due to time constraints, at the time of applying for the UASI Grant the Siemens quotation was the only benchmark that could be used to estimate the cost of securing the Police and Fire facility. Since the time of entering into the agreement with the City of Santa Ana on this project, a more specific project cost estimate was obtained from Meyer & Allen Associates, the architectural firm the City of Costa Mesa has used for other projects in the City. Meyer & Allen Associates estimate was for $173,648 for the project. This estimate included more specific information and costs associated with the project. Refer to the attached estimate for more specific details. On April 19, 2005, Lt. Allen Huggins (Security Gate and Fencing Project Manager for City of Costa Mesa) spoke to Sgi:.
