DISCUSSION
The United States Department of Homeland Security, Office of Domestic
Preparedness has developed the Urban Areas Security Ini tiati ve funding
program (UASI). UASI provides funds to local emergency first responders to
enhance security and overall preparedness to prevent, respond, and recover
from acts of terrorism. The grant specifically provides funding for anti-
terror equipment, planning, training, exercises, and technical assistance.
The City of Santa Ana has been designated as an Urban Area Core City for
the second year and has been awarded funding from the Department of
Homeland Security UASI program in the amount of $8,220,754.
As one of the requirements of the UASI grant, Santa Ana Police, Jail, and
Ci ty personnel are required to receive training in the National Incident
Management System and the Incident Command System. The City issued a
Request for Proposal (RFP) for a vendor to provide this training. American
Homeland Solutions was the only vendor to respond to the RFP and they meet
all of the listed specifications for this mandated training. Staff
recommends entering into this agreement with American Homeland Solutions in
an amount not to exceed $50,000.
