This initiative was designed to enhance <br /> the domestic preparedness of urban areas by ensuring that all emergency first responders have <br /> adequate and appropriate equipment to prevent, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism. In <br /> 2011, Santa Ana was designated as an Urban Area Core City for the ninth consecutive year. <br /> Utilizing UASI funds, the Police Department built a robust perimeter camera system at the Police <br /> Administration Building in 2008. A future phase of the comprehensive security system is to install <br /> cameras in the Civic Center Complex. An upgrade to the Storage Area Network (SAN) is necessary <br /> to prepare for increased capacity required by the expansion. Additionally, 44 cameras of the existing <br /> system are now outdated, including the compression rate of the recording, and are identified for <br /> replacement. The contract will also fund a maintenance agreement for hardware for the period <br /> beginning with installation of the new cameras and expiring on April 301h, 2013. <br /> <br /> Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase against contracts from any <br /> public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. The equipment will be acquired using the US <br /> Communities Government Purchasing Alliance. Mallory Safety & Supply Company's contract for <br /> cameras, hardware and maintenance was awarded as a result of open competitive bidding by the <br /> County of Fairfax, Virginia, under the US Communities purchasing alliance and meets the City's <br /> requirements. To allow for unanticipated charges, an additional 10 percent contingency has been <br /> included in the award amount for the camera and hardware purchase. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 22B-1 <br />
