This initiative was <br />designed to enhance the domestic preparedness of the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Areas <br />(ASAUA) by ensuring that all emergency first responders have adequate and appropriate <br />equipment and training to prevent, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism. The Santa Ana <br />and Anaheim Police Departments alternate fiscal responsibility for the grant. The City of <br />Anaheim has fiscal responsibility for the FY12 UASI Grant for the ASAUA, which encompasses <br />34 cities and two police departments that represent two universities in Orange County. <br />In August 2012, Request for Proposal (RFP), #12-051, was issued to identify a suitable vendor to <br />support the Homeland Security Training and Exercise Program of the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban <br />Area. This program is a complex three-year multi-disciplined emergency management training <br />program for the entire county. Three proposals were received and evaluated for; compliance with <br />minimum requirements, overall responsiveness to the RFP, experience, references, and total <br />project cost. Representatives from OC Sheriff's Department - Emergency Management Bureau, <br />OC Health Care Agency, Anaheim Fire Emergency Management, Anaheim Fire & Rescue, and <br />Santa Ana Police Department reviewed and evaluated the proposals and conducted reference <br />checks provided by the proposers. Willdan Homeland Solutions, Inc. met all of the listed <br />specifications for these mandated training and exercise deliverables. <br />25C-1
