Contract Award for Portable Radiation Detectors <br />January 17, 2012 <br />Page 2 <br />approved by the UAWG. The PRND Subcommittee has developed a three -phase PRND Project <br />with this request representing Phase I. <br />Phase I includes the purchase of approximately 80 Portable Radiation Detectors to be issued by <br />Terrorism Liaison Officers and personnel assigned to John Wayne Airport and the Disney Resort <br />Area. This phase also includes the development of a draft PRND Annex or deployment/response <br />policy. <br />Phase II will address the need for more sensitive detection equipment in the form of 5 covert <br />backpacks which will be assigned to the Operational Area's HazMat teams and the Orange <br />County Health Care Agency. The backpacks serve as a more sensitive level of detection and <br />Isotope identification at mass gathering sites to aid in investigation and alarm adjudication when <br />a pager has alarmed. <br />Phase III focuses on installing fixed detection assets at highly critical sites such as the John <br />Wayne International Airport and Disney Resort Area. Fixed assets at ingress /egress or "choke <br />points" allows for a more controlled detection capability, and preserves resources for response <br />actions when needed. <br />The equipment will be acquired using the US Communities Government Purchasing Alliance. <br />Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS -2312 authorizes the City to purchase against contracts from <br />any public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. Mallory Safety & Supply Company's <br />contract for portable radiation detectors was awarded as a result of open competitive bidding by <br />the County of Fairfax, Virginia, under the US Communities purchasing alliance and meets the <br />City's requirements. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are available in the FY 2009 UASI Grant fund account (accounting no. 12514407 - 63001, <br />Activity 10427101182). <br />l� <br />Paul M.
