RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
the Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with Security Solutions,
Inc. the amount of $164,455.00 plus a contingency of $10,000 for a total
project amount not to exceed $174,455 to install a security management
system at Crooke Reservoir.
DISCUSSION
On July 27, 2006, the City received approval of $175,000 from the Urban
Area Security Initiative (UASI) grant from the federal Department of
Homeland Security, through the State of California, Office of Homeland
Security, to harden critical infrastructure. The 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 grant approved is for the installation of a security management
system at the Crooke Reservoir located at 730 E. Memory Lane. The system
will include video surveillance equipment and motion sensors for the
reservoir, pumping station and well nos. 27 and 28. The cost of
installing this system will be paid for with UASI funds.
Security Solutions Inc. installed and commissioned a security management
system at the West Reservoir last year. Security Solutions, Inc. was
qualified for the installation of the initial video security system
resulting from the City's open bid process and was selected based on the
City's competitive bidding criteria. The new security management system
planned for the Crooke Reservoir will be integrated with the existing
system.

Because, the initial system was custom built by Security Solutions, Inc.,
and due to the complexity of the integration process, staff recommends
that Security Solutions, Inc. be retained to build the new video security
management system at the Crooke Reservoir and integrate the new system
with the existing system. This specific project is contingent on
approval from the Department of Homeland Security.
