FILE NUMBER
Authorize a one -time purchase and payment of purchase order to Mallory Safety & Supply for the
purchase of NFPA Level III certified Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear protective
suits in an amount not to exceed $170,000, subject to non - substantive changes approved by the
City Manager and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
The United States Department of Homeland Security, Office of Grants and Training have
developed the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) funding program. This initiative is 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. Santa Ana has been designated as an Urban Area Core City for the twelfth
year.
The Orange County Operational Area (OCOA) has been outfitted with CBRN (Chemical,
Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) certified personal protective ensembles (protective suit &
gas mask). This was the result of a gap analysis identifying protection at this level for Law and
Fire as a critical need in the event of a CBRN event/attack. In such an event, the role of Law
Enforcement and occasionally fire personnel will be scene control, evidence preservation, and
some decontamination procedures. This type of activity would take place in the "warm zone ".
Per the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) 1994 (2012 Edition) regulations, the warm zone
requires a minimum of Level III protection. The current cache of suits is expiring and requires
replacement. This purchase will replace 290 CBRN certified protective suits that were purchased
10 years ago.
