RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
the Clerk of the Council to execute a third amendment to the agreement
with Dougherty + Dougherty to design and construct City facility
improvements in an amount of $350,000 for a total agreement not to exceed
$1,271,090.
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 initiative 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 projects 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.
Dougherty + Dougherty have been retained by the City to perform
Architectural Design Services and Program Management. 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 October 2006.

Drastic increases in material costs have severely affected the total
proj ect budget. Addi tionally, the scope of work to be performed for
these proj ects requires specialized contractors. As a result the labor
costs are much higher than originally anticipated. Staff recommends the
additional $350,000 in order to account for these unforeseen cost
increases.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for the proposed improvements are available in the UASI Grant Fund
(account no. 125-320 & 125-067 various object accounts).
