CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR'S OFFICE <br />OF EMERGENCY SERVICES <br />CaI DES <br />GOVERNOR'S OFFICE <br />OF EMERGENCY SERVICES <br />Grant Program: <br />Grant Award No.: <br />Cal OES ID#: <br />Urban Areas Security Initiative <br />#2018-0054 <br />059-95050 <br />Subrecipient Name: <br />Proj ect No: <br />City of Santa Ana <br />OC Civic Center Camera System <br />Maintenance <br />REQUEST FOR NONCOMPETITVE PROCUREMENT AUTHORIZATION <br />Activity: OC Civic Center Camera System Maintenance Cost: $181,400(of $261,000) <br />2. Describe what the proposed vendor/contractor will provide. <br />One year of all-inclusive maintenance for the entire City system. Currently, the City of Santa Ana is <br />under a three year Master Services Agreement with Siemens Industry, Inc. for individual expansion <br />projects, as well as maintenance. The Agreement is due to expire in November of 2020, and this request <br />is for the third and final year of maintenance (renewed via contract amendment each of the three years <br />of the agreement based on the availability of funding). Due to efforts by the City to streamline and <br />maintain accountability of expenditures with vendors, a Master Services Agreement was established <br />under which several City Departments provided funding for their individual share of maintenance of the <br />city-wide camera system (i.e. Parks & Recreation paid for their maintenance portion, Santa Ana City Jail <br />paid for their maintenance portion, etc.). The total cost for maintenance for the entire system in year <br />three is $261,000. The City seeks to use FY2018 UASI funding for maintenance on only that portion of <br />the system that was originally acquired with grant funds (system network backbone, Police Department <br />cameras/hardware, and Civic Center Area cameras/hardware). The grant portion for that maintenance <br />alone equates to $181,400, which is the sole basis for this request for noncompetitive procurement <br />authorization. <br />Describe your organization's standard procedures when considering a noncompetitive contract, including <br />the conditions under which a noncompetitive contract is allowed, and any other applicable criteria (i.e. <br />approval requirements, monetary thresholds, etc.). <br />The City of Santa Ana permits sole source procurements when the product or services are only available <br />from a single supplier who is the sole distributor or manufacturer of a product or service for which no <br />acceptable substitute is available. This exclusiveness should be documented by the requesting <br />department and is subject to verification. Council authorization shall be required for sole source <br />procurements in excess of, or in the aggregate of $25,000. <br />4. Indicate which of the following circumstances resulted in your organization's need to enter into a <br />noncompetitive contract. See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Subpart D, §200.320. <br />a. The item is available only from a single source. (Describe and detail the process used to make that <br />determination.). <br />The current vendor (Siemens Industry, Inc.) has unique institutional knowledge of a very complex, <br />integrated solution that involves several sub -systems they designed, built, and have been maintaining <br />since 2010. Furthermore, Siemens has dedicated a single engineer who possesses the pre -requisite <br />
