�rt CITY OF SANTA ANA 00 I MS1 a)ra Orr POST-co j ,/ . SM&c" WK -: AWrvravl 1K `F-, � �r 4 K atm. s MONITORING CENTER An ACO license is required for this RFP and UL827-certified monitoring facilities are required for this RFP. The security of the Zoo is of paramount importance to the City of Santa Ana. The proposed video surveillance system and related services will assist with post-event security investigations, forensics, while also providing live remote monitoring, and audio communication services after hours. Live monitoring may lead to police dispatch by the central station providing monitoring services. Police dispatch by a central station based on electronic signals and alerts is the classic definition of an alarm or intrusion detection system- consequently, The City has decided to impose alarm system requirements on this project and that includes an ACO license for the Proposer and UL827 certification for the central station to be used by the Proposer. Independent of the logic used to arrive at these requirements (ACO license or UL827 certification), it is important to note that the City, at its discretion, can impose requirements if it deems that such requirements will result in improved security and efficacy for this project. ACO licensing and UL827 certification attest to a number of desirable factors: A. Alarm company personnel must undergo a criminal history background check by CA Department of Justice. H. Alarm company owners/manager must pass licensing examination. C. Central Stations that are UL listed have demonstrated to Underwriter's Laboratories that they meet or exceed required safety and reliability standards. This certification attests to the fact that the central station is a trusted and reliable source for alarm monitoring. City of Santa Ana RFP No.25-082 Page 23 of 40
