DISCUSSION
The Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Agency has maintained a focus on

preserve security and safety for staff and the public who visit these sites. Services that
are required include enhancement of access control at the Santa Ana Zoo and
installation of a new camera system at the Santiago Park ECO Center. In addition to the
new equipment, live remote video and audio monitoring will be provided to ensure
consistent security throughout all hours of the day.
Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 25-082 was issued on June 9, 2025 on the City's
online bid management and publication system. A summary of vendor participation and
results is as follows:
1,042 Vendors notified
4 Santa Ana Vendors notified
76 Vendors downloaded the RFP packet

Proposals were solicited, opened on July 16, 2025, and evaluated. Two proposals were
submitted by the RFP deadline and were determined to be responsive to the
specifications and met the City's requirements. An evaluation committee reviewed and
rated the proposals according to the criteria listed in the RFP.
Staff recommends awarding an agreement to the highest -ranked firm, Am-Tec Total
Security, Inc. (Exhibit 1). In reviewing the proposals for Zoo and ECO Center security
camera installation and maintenance, several items stood out in Am-Tec's proposal and
interview as significant strengths.
Am-Tec presented a clear and concise proposal that highlighted their experience and
reputation as ongoing partners with many municipalities. Their duration of experience
as a firm is over 40 years. Their interview exhibited what they stated in their proposal
about teamwork.
Their proposal illustrated a cohesive team committed to supporting one another,
meeting deadlines consistently, and working collaboratively to achieve shared
objectives. This unity and dedication reflect the commitment to the overall success of
the project. Their cohesiveness and spirit of supported partnership was evidenced in the
quality and style of their interview. They worked together as a team to explain what they
would offer the zoo, and answered questions in a way that proved their ability to
understand each other and work together and to respect the department's time and
guidelines. Their ability to present information in a way that was simple, clear, and
consistent, showed an ability to work with staff at the zoo and ECO Center to
accomplish system goals.
Am-Tec's demonstration of their in-house monitoring system and data analytics
answered the department's questions thoroughly about how the system would work,
and their emphasis in the proposal on adherence to the approved budget and timeline
was mirrored in their interview approach.
In addition, the low monthly camera monitoring rates will save the City money over the
life of the contract.
In summary, Am-Tec was able to validate through their interview what they stated in
their proposal and their fee rates will make them a more cost-effective vendor both at
point of installation and overtime.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Contractor shall perform services as set forth below.
The City is seeking a qualified firm that has expertise and experience in designing, providing, installing, maintaining,
and monitoring security camera systems. The City is particularly interested in a firm that has experience in assisting
municipalities or similar large commercial customers with any technical issues that may arise. Contractor shall
perform dur€ng the term of this Agreement, the tasks and obligations including all labor, materials, tools, equipment,
and incidental customary work required to fully and adequately complete the installation, monitoring, and
maintenance of security cameras at the Zoo and ECO Center. There are two installation/new equipment parts to
this project:
1) Enhancement of access control at the Santa Ana Zoo, and
2) Installation of a new camera system at the Santiago Park ECO Center.
In addition to supplying and installing system enhancements at the Zoo, and supplying/installing the new system at
ECO Center, the firm must provide both facilities with a multi -year monitoring and maintenance contract. The zoo's
existing video surveillance system is capable of capturing and recording images day and night Said images provide
the details needed for the successful prosecution of security investigations In addition to post -event investigations
and forensics, the video surveillance system is used for live remote monitoring and audio communication; live
monitoring takes place mostly after-hours. The new system installed at ECO Center, and additional components
installed at zoo, must meet these standards.
CONSTRUCTION METHODS
During installation, work must be performed by Contractor between the hours of 7:00am-5:00pm, Monday — Friday.
Contractor is responsible for running power from existing sources to camera or speaker locations as needed.
Contractor is responsible for ensuring guest safety during installation. Zoo and ECO Center staff and visitors can
be directed away from the immediate work area with caution tape or temporary barricades. Contractor is responsible
for meeting industry best practices to ensure installation is safe.
I••JO
A. Provide and install 2N IP Force intercom (or approved equal, please refer to Section XII. General Terms and
Conditions, letter A. Alternatives) at perimeter gate https://www.2n.comlen-US/products/intercoms/2n-ip4orce/
B. Provide and install 2N Indoor View (or approved equal, please refer to Section XII. General Terms and
Conditions, letter A. Alternatives) for connectivity to the perimeter gate https://www.2n.com/en-
USlproducts/indoor-stationsl2n-indoor-view/
C. Provide necessary equipment to install and link these devices for proper functioning
D. Install one Dell UltraSharp 43 4K USB-C Hub Monitor - U4323QE (or approved equal. please refer to Section
XII General Terms and Conditions, letter A. Alternatives) in the zoo office and set the display up to show a
constant CCTV feed of the cameras being monitored at the zoo
E. Include 10% contingency for replacement of equipment as it ages over the course of the contract.
F Maintain equipment as follows:
1. Service Provider will test - at least once per day - all equipment (cameras, speakers and related gear)
needed for providing the remote live video monitoring service; a remote test will satisfy this requirement.
When a failure or performance degradation is detected, Service Provider will inform the Santa Ana Zoo
within two hours of discovering the problem; a service visit will take place within 24 hours of detecting
a problem and said problem will be repaired within 72 hours of its detection. This type of repair time will
require that Service Provider keep an inventory of replacement cameras and parts.
2. Training for City staff on the use of the video surveillance system is considered an integral part of the
maintenance services. When video surveillance system is first installed, Service Provider will conduct
training for City staff (not to exceed 1 hour). After this first training session related to initial system

(9)
CITY OF SANTA ANA
commissioning, service provider maybe asked toprovide training for new hires from time to time. Those
training sessions generally will be limited to one per quarter and will not exceed four training sessions
per year.
3 If the video management system requires installing and enabling client software in the PCs of City Staff,
those software installations will be considered a part of the maintenance services. When first installed,
client software may be installed in as many as 10 PCs. Thereafter, service provider may be asked to
install and enable client software as new personnel is hired or new PCs are purchased. These software
installations will be considered a part of the maintenance services if these installs do not exceed 10 per
calendar year.
G. Provide video monitoring services as follows:
1 The remote live video monitoring service will be activated or armed every day (365 days a year) at 6pm
and will be disarmed or deactivated at 4am the following day. During the hours the system is active or
armed, it is expected that any human intrusion in the vicinity of the camera locations will be detected
by the system and that system in turn will create an alert at the monitoring center. Upon generation of
this alert it is also expected that a 'pre-recorded' or 'live' message will be played over the loudspeaker
informing the intruder that they have been detected, and urging the intruder to leave the premises.
2. Once an intruder has been detected and an audio message (talk down) has been delivered, the
monitoring center will follow a pre -established protocol that may include calling on -site security, City
staff, or City pofice, or any combination of the aforementioned.
3. There are many technologies and methods for remote live video monitoring. These may include on -site
analytics appliances, on -board camera analytics, camera motion detection, sensors tied to camera
inputs, or simply trained personnel watching live video streams, or combinations of some, or all, of
these technologies.
4. Provide methods, technologies and solutions you will use to perform remote live video monitoring
services.
5. Provide additional technology, product, or process that would be needed in order to support addressing
staff on -site during camera monitoring hours.
6. Furnish daily incident reports which will include: description of incidents, video and audio clips, steps
taken during the incidents, and final resolution.

C Provide necessary equipment as required to install and link these devices for proper functioning.
D. Include 10% contingency for replacement of equipment as it ages over the course of the contract.
E. Maintain equipment as follows:
1 Service Provider will test - at least once per day - all equipment (cameras, speakers and related gear)
needed for providing the remote live video monitoring service. a remote test will satisfy this requirement.
When a failure or performance degradation is detected, Service Provider will inform the Santa Ana Zoo
within two hours of discovering the problem; a service visit will take place within 24 hours of detecting
a problem and said problem will be repaired within 72 hours of its detection. This type of repair time will
require that Service Provider keep an inventory of replacement cameras and parts.
2. Training for City staff on the use of the video surveillance system is considered an integral part of the
maintenance services. When video surveillance system is first installed, Service Provider will conduct
training for City staff (not to exceed 1 hour). After this first training session related to initial system
commissioning, service provider may be asked to provide training for new hires from time to time. Those
training sessions generally will be limited to one per quarter and will not exceed four training sessions
per year.
3. If the video management system requires installing and enabling client software in the PCs of City Staff,
those software installations wiii be considered a part of the maintenance services. When first installed,
client software may be installed in as many as 10 PCs. Thereafter, service provider may be asked to
install and enable client software as new personnel is hired or new PCs are purchased. These software
installations will be considered a part of the maintenance services if these installs do not exceed 10 per
calendar year.
F. Provide video monitoring services as follows:
1. The remote live video monitoring service will be activated or armed every day (365 days a year) at 6pm
and will be disarmed or deactivated at 4am the following day. During the hours the system is active or
armed, it is expected that any human intrusion in the vicinity of the camera locations will be detected
by the system and that system in turn will create an alert at the monitoring center. Upon generation of
this alert it is also expected that a `pre-recorded' or 'live' message will be played over the loudspeaker
informing the intruder that they have been detected, and urging the intruder to leave the premises.
2. Once an intruder has been detected and an audio message (talk down) has been delivered, the
monitoring center will follow a pre -established protocol that may include calling on -site security, City
staff, or City police, or any combination of the aforementioned.
3. There are many technologies and methods for remote live video monitoring. These may include on -site
analytics appliance, on -board camera analytics, camera motion detection, sensors tied to camera
inputs, or simply trained personnel watching live video streams or combinations of some, or all, of these
technologies.
4 Provide methods, technologies and solutions you will use to perform remote live video monitoring
services.
5 Provide additional technology, product, or process that would be needed in order to support addressing
staff on -site during camera monitoring hours.
6 Furnish daily incident reports which will include: description of incidents, video and audio clips, steps
taken during the incidents, and final reselufion

An AGO license is required for this RFP and UL827-certified monitoring facilities are required for this RFP. The
security of the Zoo is of paramount importance to the City of Santa Ana. The proposed video surveillance system
and related services will assist with post -event security investigations, forensics, while also providing live remote
monitoring, and audio communication services after hours. Live monitoring may lead to police dispatch by the
central station providing monitoring services. Police dispatch by a central station based on electronic signals and
alerts is the classic definition of an alarm or intrusion detection system; consequently, The City has decided to
impose alarm system requirements on this project and that includes an ACO license for the Proposer and UL827
certification for the central station to be used by the Proposer. Independent of the logic used to arrive at these
requirements (ACO license or UL827 certification), it is important to note that the City, at its discretion, can impose
requirements if it deems that such requirements will result in improved security and efficacy for this project. AGO
licensing and UL827 certification attest to a number of desirable factors:
A. Alarm company personnel must undergo a criminal history background check by CA Department of Justice.
B Alarm company owners/manager must pass licensing examination.
C. Central Stations that are UL fisted have demonstrated to Underwriter's Laboratories that they meet or exceed
required safety and reliability standards. This certification attests to the fact that the central station is a trusted
and reliable source for alarm monitoring.
