RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
the Clerk of the Council to execute a second amendment to the agreement
with Dougherty + Dougherty to design and construct City facility
improvements in an amount of $760,000 for a total agreement not to exceed
$921,090.
DISCUSSION
On August 16, 2004, the City Council accepted a $15 million Urban Area
Security Initiative (UASI) grant from the federal Department of Homeland
Security, through the State of California, Office of Homeland Security.
This ini tiati ve was designed to enhance the domestic preparedness of
urban areas by ensuring that all emergency first responders have adequate
equipment and systems to prevent, respond to and recover from acts of
terrorism. The grant provides total reimbursement to local agencies for
improvements approved and authorized by the Office of Disaster
Preparedness. The City has received authorization for two proj ects to
improve city facilities - upgrading the training room at the City Yard to
serve as the Emergency Operations Center, and the installation of
security bollards at the Santa Ana Train Station.
Emergency Services integrators (ESi) of Augusta, GA performed a facility
assessment to locate the City's Emergency Operation Center (EOC) on the
second floor of the Administration Building of the Corporate Yard at 220
S. Daisy Street. The existing training room is capable of providing the
essential elements required for an EOC. Improvements to the training room
include raised access flooring, reinforcement of glass windows, and
modification of the existing lighting, security and electrical systems.
In addition a separate generator will be installed to serve the EOC.

A report prepared by the Santa Ana Police Department recommended
installation of vehicle barrier bollards at the perimeter of the train
station. These will include decorative bollards as well as raised
planters and will meet federal standards for protection of this facility.
An additional project to be included in this contract is the installation
of a fountain on 2nd Street between Broadway and Sycamore. Chiarini
Marble and Stone, a Santa Ana business, donated portions of the proposed
fountain. The improvements includes construction of the fountain pool
with the donated travertine centerpiece, seat wall caps and seat wall
veneer as well as the installation of a new mechanical and electrical
system.
Dougherty + Dougherty have been retained by the City to perform
Architectural Design Services for three park improvement projects
including EI Salvador Center, Santiago Park Wildlife and Wetlands
Interpretive Center, and Centennial Park Playground. They have the
expertise and the manpower to design and construct the facility
improvements and to meet the required schedule of the grants. It is
anticipated that these improvements will be completed by November 2005.
