Reject the bid from Gaumard Scientific Co., Inc. as nonresponsive. <br />The United States Department of Homeland Security, Office of Grants and Training have <br />developed the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) funding program. This initiative is designed <br />to enhance the domestic preparedness of urban areas by ensuring that all emergency first <br />responders have adequate and appropriate training & equipment to prevent, respond to, and <br />recover from acts of terrorism. Santa Ana has been designated as an Urban Area Core City since <br />2003. As such, for selected grant years, Santa Ana is the fiduciary for the region and manages <br />projects which include, providing training and procuring equipment utilized by the 34 jurisdictions <br />in Orange County. <br />Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) has been a UASI-funded course delivered for the <br />past several years. It was developed specifically for Law Enforcement first responders to train in <br />the use of immediate life-saving measures when an officer or civilian is injured. The course <br />emphasizes medical and physiological conditions specific to life-threatening (with an emphasis <br />on Active Shooter) injuries and how to treat them until proper medical care can be administered. <br />Such conditions include, but are not limited to: gun -shot wounds, perforated lungs, and partial or <br />complete amputation of limbs. The course was designed to be as genuine as possible and <br />employs a number of training aids including life-sized mannequins, moulage (fake blood), and <br />stress -inducing noises and scenarios simulating a realistic tactical situation. Realism in any law <br />enforcement related training is the instrument that will ensure a commensurate response during <br />real-world situations. <br />2213-1 <br />
