Master Agreement for Training and Exercise Services August 16, 2016 Page 2 manages projects which include providing training and procuring equipment utilized by the 34 jurisdictions in Orange County. In an effort to address the unique needs of a high- density, high- threat urban area, the Anaheim /Santa Ana Urban Area ( ASAUA) allocates a set percentage of its annual grant allocation to fund training and exercises for the Orange County region. With oversight from the Santa Ana Police Department's Homeland Security Division, the ASAUA Homeland Security Regional Training and Exercise Program provides the ASAUA stakeholders with regional training and exercises necessary to meet the goals and objectives set forth in the ASAUA's homeland security strategy and target capabilities identified in the Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA). The goal of this master agreement is to enhance the capabilities of the current program by providing access to a wide range of training and exercise professionals in support of a comprehensive and regional approach. On June 6, 2016, the Santa Ana Police Department issued a request for qualification (RFQ) No. 16 -068 to identify and qualify suitable vendors capable of delivering a broad choice of homeland security related training courses taught by subject matter experts and /or recognized professionals in the field of law enforcement, fire, health care, and emergency management. Additionally, the RFQ sought to identify and qualify suitable vendors who are capable of developing and delivering a broad range of homeland security related exercises ranging from simple workshops to complex multi - discipline, multi- agency full scale exercises. Vendors were allowed to submit proposals that addressed only training courses, only providing exercises, or providing both training courses and exercises. An evaluation committee consisting of representatives from the Cities of Santa Ana, Anaheim, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, Irvine, Laguna Beach, and Newport Beach, as well as the Orange County Intelligence Assessment Center (OCIAC) and the OC Health Care Agency, reviewed and rated all proposals received to determine if the necessary qualifications were met. The proposals were evaluated and scored according to criteria identified within the RFQ. The RFQ was advertised on June 6, 2016 and proposals were solicited. A summary of the proposals and offers received is as follows: 164 Vendors were notified 40 Vendors downloaded the RFQ 0 Proposals received from a Santa Ana vendor 17 Proposals received Proposals were opened on July 12, 2016 and evaluated. A total of 17 vendors were qualified based on their response to the specifications and requirements identified by the City. All qualified vendors will have the same master, or uniform, agreement, based on which the Santa Ana Police Department's Homeland Security Division will request individual purchase orders to be issued for training courses and exercises from the selected vendor on an as- needed basis. 25H -2
