DISCUSSION
On September 19, 2005, the City Council accepted a $8.4 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.
A consortium of 19 Orange County jurisdictions makes up the UASI Santa Ana
Urban Area, with the City of Santa Ana the lead agency. An objective of
the consortium is to improve communications between first responders during
an emergency. A project underway is the installation of wireless
computers, including a 4.9 GHz "air" card for data sharing between all Fire
and Police vehicles responding to an emergency. A prior UASI grant wired
Santa Ana Fire Department first responder vehicles into the ad-hoc network.
The Santa Ana Police Department maintains a fleet of 110 black and white
patrol cars and approximately 40 specialized vehicles for a total of
approximately 150 first responder vehicles. On September 05, 2006,
utilizing UASI grant funding, the City Council awarded a contract to
Tribalco to furnish all labor, materials and equipment to install the
mobile computer system in police department vehicles, based upon the City

of Garden Grove's contract. In the first phase, funding allowed for the
wiring of approximately 80 vehicles. Utilizing funds from the fiscal year
(FY) 2005 UASI Grant will add 40 more police vehicles to the mobile ad-hoc
network. Tribalco has agreed to extend the pricing for the second phase.
As a result, staff recommends Council approval of this action.
