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 would be front-line responders in any
terrorist-related incident within the Santa Ana urban area. On July 7,
2008, the City Cauncil awarded a contract for the purchase of video
surveillance equipment to upgrade to a technologically advanced perimeter
security camera system. The existing computer and radio service room has
been expanded to house the security camera system upgrade. The final
phase of this project is the installation of the video surveillance
equipment.
In order to allow prospective bidders an equal opportunity to submit bids,
a mandatory job walk was conducted on September 5, 2008. Prospective
bidders were given a tour of the job site at the police facility,
questions were asked and addenda issued.
