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 Santa <br />Ana has fiscal responsibility for the FY11 UASI Grant for the ASAUA, which encompasses 34 <br />cities and two university police departments. <br />In 2012, the Police Department completed a request for proposals process for training, exercises <br />and program management services, and Willdan Homeland Solutions was selected as the most <br />qualified proposer. On October 15, 2012, Willdan Homeland Solutions was awarded a contract <br />for providing training, exercise and program management services. Since October 2012, Willdan <br />Homeland Solutions has completed several quality training and exercise programs, including the <br />Active Shooter and Chemical /Biological Explosive Warm Zone Exercises, and crowd <br />management/Mobile Field Force training for command staff, trainers and line personnel. <br />The Police Department needs to revise the Statement of Work to include some priority training <br />programs and delete others. The revised attached Statement of Work (Exhibit A -2) adds new <br />training and exercises, including Community Emergency Response Team and Mobile Field Force <br />25A -1 <br />
