Police Department www.santa-ana.org/pd Item # 27 City of Santa Ana 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 Staff Report December 2, 2025 TOPIC: Training Manikins for Police Department AGENDA TITLE Purchase Order to North American Rescue, LLC for Training Manikins (Specification No. 25-125A) (Non-General Fund - UASI) RECOMMENDED ACTION Authorize a purchase order to North American Rescue, LLC for Training Manikins, in an amount not to exceed $117,528. GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No DISCUSSION The United States Department of Homeland Security has developed the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) grant funding program. UASI is designed to address the unique planning, equipment, training, and exercise needs of high-threat, high-density urban areas and provides funds to local emergency first responders that assist in building an enhanced and sustainable capacity to prevent, protect, respond to, mitigate, and recover from acts of terrorism. The grant specifically provides funding for anti-terrorism equipment, planning, training, exercises, and technical assistance. Santa Ana has been designated as an Urban Area Core City since 2003. As such, for selected grant years, Santa Ana is the fiduciary for the region and manages projects, which includes providing training and procuring equipment utilized by the 34 jurisdictions in Orange County. To meet the distinct requirements of a densely populated and high-risk urban setting, the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area (ASAUA) designates a portion of its annual grant funding toward operational coordination for the training of first responders in Emergency Casualty Care (TECC). In an effort to further enhance the effectiveness of this training, an Invitation for Bid was issued to procure two (2) advanced training manikins. Currently the region has existing training Manikins which are outdated and lacking advanced capabilities necessary to improve the skill level of first responders.
