The grant provides total reimbursement to local agencies for <br />equipment purchases approved and authorized by the Office of Disaster <br />Preparedness. <br />The City of Santa Ana's Emergency Operations Center (EOC) will be activated <br />in the event of an emergency. The EOC requires a trailer mounted mobile <br />diesel generator to replace the existing generator which staff has <br />determined is obsolete and no longer adequate for the current needs of the <br />EOC. The recommended action will allow for the purchase of a mobile <br />generator that will meet current needs and enhance the EOC by providing the <br />City with the back up power when responding to an emergency, Weapons of <br />Mass Destruction (WMD) events, or acts of terrorism. <br />The notice inviting bids was advertised on May 10 and 12, 2006, and bids <br />were solicited.
