the amount not to exceed $201,418.16.
DISCUSSION
A primary goal of the Police Department is to provide safety and security
to all people in the city of Santa Ana. In fulfilling this goal, it is
critical that the jail maintain an efficient system to book inmates to
allow sworn police personnel to return to patrolling duties as quickly as
possible. In 2006, the Police Department received a grant from the
Department of Justice, Office Of Community Oriented Policing (COPS) to
automate the Jail booking system. The grant, approved by Council on June
19, 2006, included the requirement to purchase a mobile booking van to
ensure that police officers spend more of their time in the field and less
time in the process of booking arrestees.
The custom-built mobile booking unit will be deployed during major policing
activities. It will be equipped with a booking area, three cells that can
accommodate a total of 12 arrestees, and two curbside work stations. The
discrete cells allow for the separation of adult male, adult female and
juvenile arrestees.
The notice inviting bids was advertised on December 28, 2007, and bids were
solicited. A summary of the bid invitations and bids received is as
