The initiative was designed <br />to enhance the domestic preparedness of urban areas by ensuring that all <br />emergency first responders have adequate equipment and systems to <br />prevent, respond to and recover from acts of terrorism. The grant <br />provides total reimbursement to local agencies for equipment purchases <br />approved and authorized by the Office of Disaster Preparedness. <br /> <br />The grant approved is for the installation of a security management <br />system at the Crooke Reservoir located at 730 E. Memory Lane. The system <br />will include video surveillance equipment and motion sensors for the <br />reservoir, pumping station and well nos. 27 and 28. The cost of <br />installing this system will be paid for with UASI funds. <br /> <br />Security Solutions Inc. installed and commissioned a security management <br />system at the West Reservoir last year. Security Solutions, Inc. was <br />qualified for the installation of the initial video security system <br />resulting from the City's open bid process and was selected based on the <br />City's competitive bidding criteria. The new security management system <br />planned for the Crooke Reservoir will be integrated with the existing <br />system. <br /> <br />25E-1 <br />
