RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a contract to Mallory Safety & Supply Company for security system cameras, hardware, and a
maintenance agreement in an amount not to exceed $217,000.
DISCUSSION
The United States Department of Homeland Security, Office of Grants and Training has developed
the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) funding program. This initiative was designed to enhance
the domestic preparedness of urban areas by ensuring that all emergency first responders have
adequate and appropriate equipment to prevent, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism. In
2011, Santa Ana was designated as an Urban Area Core City for the ninth consecutive year.
Utilizing UASI funds, the Police Department built a robust perimeter camera system at the Police
Administration Building in 2008. A future phase of the comprehensive security system is to install
cameras in the Civic Center Complex. An upgrade to the Storage Area Network (SAN) is necessary
to prepare for increased capacity required by the expansion. Additionally, 44 cameras of the existing
system are now outdated, including the compression rate of the recording, and are identified for
replacement. The contract will also fund a maintenance agreement for hardware for the period
beginning with installation of the new cameras and expiring on April 301h, 2013.
Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase against contracts from any
public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. The equipment will be acquired using the US
Communities Government Purchasing Alliance. Mallory Safety & Supply Company's contract for
cameras, hardware and maintenance was awarded as a result of open competitive bidding by the
County of Fairfax, Virginia, under the US Communities purchasing alliance and meets the City's
requirements. To allow for unanticipated charges, an additional 10 percent contingency has been
included in the award amount for the camera and hardware purchase.
