Award a contract to RSA Protective Technologies, LLC to provide, deliver,
and install security bollards in an amount not to exceed $200,000.
DISCUSSION
On November 5, 2007, the City Council accepted an $11.07 million Urban
Area Security Initiative 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
equipment purchases approved and authorized by the Office of Disaster
Preparedness.
The Santa Ana Police Department evaluated security measures relating to
protecting the Police Administration facility from terrorist threat and
determined that installing security bollards in front of the Santa Ana
Police Department building is the best solution to increase standoff
distance, mitigating the damage from a vehicle-borne explosive device.
The required security bollards are shallow mounted, Department of State
(DOS) K4-rated, and designed for an urban setting installation. RSA
Protective Technologies, LLC is the only supplier who can provide an off-
site engineered shallow mounted bollard system that is DOS crash tested and
certified for a minimum of three (3} years upon installation and
acceptance. In order to enhance protection and mitigation capabilities of
the Santa Ana Police Department building in the event of an act of
terrorism, staff recommends Council approval of the recommended action.
