HomeMy WebLinkAbout02 UASI GRANT 09-05-06AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 5,2006
TO: WILLIAM HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
FROM: SCOTT M. JORDAN, CHIEF OF POLICE
SUBJECT: URBAN AREA SECURITY INITIATIVE (UASI) GRANT
SUMMARY:
The City of Tustin, acting through the City of Santa Ana Police Department in its capacity as the
Core City for the Santa Ana Urban Area, under the FY05 Urban Areas Security Initiative, has
applied for, received and accepted a federal homeland security grant. The grant is entitled the
"FY05 Urban Areas Security Initiative." The grant is from the federal Department of Homeland
Security, Office of Domestic Preparedness, through the State of California Office of Homeland
Security, and is intended to enhance countywide emergency preparedness.
The terms of the grant require that the City of Tustin use certain grant funds for the hardening of
specific identifiable targets within the City of Tustin. The Tustin Police Department has identified
the City Hall/Police Department parking structure as an area of security concern and recommends
the installation of both vehicle and pedestrian access-controlled gates to control the public access
to areas housing critical equipment and resources, as well as provide a safe and controlled
employee parking area.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Open and close a Public Hearing.
2. Authorize acceptance and expenditure of UASI grant funds as recommended by the
Police Department, and authorize the Chief of Police to sign any grant-related
documents.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The grant award of $115,358 will fully fund the project. The City of Santa Ana will serve as the
applicant/fiscal agent for the grant funds, and will reimburse the City of Tustin the full amount of
the grant award upon verification that the funds have been spent in accordance with grant
procedures.
BACKGROUND:
The Tustin Police Department is co-located with City Hall and all the major resources and
assets that would assist in a response to an act of terrorism are housed at the facility. Currently
access to areas housing critical equipment to respond to a weapon of mass destruction attack
or act of terrorism is easily accessible. The facility is surrounded by a parking structure which
has no physical security. The structure allows free access to points of vulnerability around the
entire facility. The City of Tustin would like to secure the parking structure and pedestrian
access to the structure. This project would close the gap and provide the necessary security in
order to enhance the Tustin Police Department's ability to protect critical infrastructure and
effectively deploy critical assets during an act bf terrorism.
The Tustin Police Department is a mutual aid partner to the City of Santa Ana. Santa Ana is the
second densest city in California and has been designated as a core city by the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security. The City of Tustin borders the eastern city limits of the City
of Santa Ana, first responders for the City of Tustin would be amongst the first to arrive due to
the close proximity. This target hardening project would ensure an effective response with the
necessary assets and will provide an increased level of safety and security for both emergency
equipment and employees.
Following a structural review and security assessment of the structure, it was determined that
the most cost effective and efficient means to secure the premises was the addition of gates
and access readers linked to our existing Access Control system. The most significant costs
associated with establishing electronic access controls are incurred in procuring and assembling
the network infrastructure. By utilizing our existing system, those costs were avoided, since we
already have an extensive infrastructure in place.
Since we utilized our existing Hirsch Electronics Access Control System, there was no open
market bid process on this project. Pursuant to the City of Tustin Purchasing Policy, Section
1624 E. (1), "If a (proprietary) manufacturer is the sole source of supply, the purchasing agent is
authorized to contract with the manufacturer at prices and on terms most advantageous to the
City." With this exception allowance, we solicited a proposal for the parking structure work from
Enterprise Security, Inc. Enterprise Security is the City of Tustin's current security system
service vendor. (See Attachment A, "Parking Structure Security Upgrades Proposal.") We are
contractually obligated to Enterprise Security for maintenance, service and installation of the
Hirsch Access Control and Video Surveillance systems operating at various locations
throughout the city, including the Police facility, City Hall, the Senior Center, and the Public
Works yard.
This project requires the direct interface to panels, servers and equipment supported by
Enterprise Security and our service contract would be voided were we to permit access to such
equipment by any other vendor. Furthermore, the manufacturer of our proprietary system,
Hirsch Electronics, recommends Enterprise Security as the only authorized dealer in the Orange
County area with sufficient staff and expertise to expand and support our system.

RE: Garage Access Project
Dear Ms. Frazier,
As you are aware, Enterprise Security, Inc. is currently the Contracted Security System Service Company of
record for the City of Tustin. As such, we currently service and support various locations throughout the city
including the Police Station, City Hall, Senior Center, and the City Yard off of Red Hill. Our contractual duties
include the proper maintenance, service and installation of the Hirsch Access Control and Video Surveillance
Systems.
Recently it has come to our attention that there is an Access Control Project that is under consideration for the
Parking Garage which is contiguous to the Police Station and City Hall Buildings. Furthermore, this project
would require the direct interface to panels, servers and equipment that is covered under our Service Contract with
the City. Unfortunately, our ability to support, service and maintain the systems under our current contract will be
null and void in the event that another vendor is permitted to such equipment that is supported by our firm.
Moreover, we will not be able to support or warranty another firm's installation of such equipment. I apologize
for any inconvenience this may cause, but it is in the best interest of all parties involved that this be clarified
before any further time passes. If you have questions regarding this matter, please let me know.
Regards,
Joseph Daniel Emens

Operator Management
Velocity uses Windows
Active Directory for initial
Operator Authentication.
The Name & Password used to log onto
the operating system also assigns opera-
tor privileges within the Velocity applica-
tion. User defined Rights and
Pennissions restrict access to critical
Velocity components and functions.
Rights detennine which Operator Group
can view or modify a Configuration Tab,
Report, Graphic, etc. Permissions restrict
individual Operator access to functions,
such as the ability to clear alarms, forgive
passback. reset credential counts, etc.
,
-.
The "Switch User" feature permits another
Velocity operator to become the operator
of record in the Velocity Application
without logging off and back into the
Operating System.
Enrollment Manager
The Enrollment Manager consists of
three panes: All Personnel, Personal
Information, and Credentials. The All
Personnel Pane is a spreadsheet-like view
of the primary User Defined Fields.
Filters and search criteria are available to
locate a Person by any field, such as
"Last Name," "State" or "Company."
Throughout Velocity, clicking on a col-
umn header will sort by that column for
"on the fly" arrangements.
The Credential Pane displays Function,
Status, Expires On, Last Access Time,
Last Door, Tag Status, Alert Status and
the card Hot Stamp Reference Number.
In addition to the person's name
(Salutation, Firs~ Middle, Last. Suffix),
Photo and Signature, there are 999 User
Defined Fields (assignable to 10 tabs)
and Additional Image Fields. The user
can define the labels, their color. and
whether a field is mandatory or can
support standard text entry, an enforced
dropdown list of entries, or a dropdown
list of entries with the ability to enter text.
User defined fields can be used for
address, phone number, hair color,

The "Credential Template" reduces
keystrokes, errors and time when adding
credentials. Multiple credentials can be
assigned to a person and each can be a
different technology such as: Wiegand,
ScramblePad@. ScrambleProx@
ScrambleSmart', Proximity. Magnetic
Stripe, Bar Code, Biometric, or Smart
Card (MIFARE, DESFire, PIV).
Credential parameters include:
. Badge Template
. Activation & Expiration Dates
. Card, Code. Dual, Code+Card,
Code+Dual, Card+Dual. All
. Functions (Access, Relay. Alann,
Password, Special) with associated
Door Group or Control Function
. Limits (including global) for Day,
Use, and Absentee - with Auto-
Delete Option
. Two Person Rule with A. B, and
Executive Designations
. Threat Authority Level
. User Tagging & Alerts
. Duress Operation
. Special Needs Time Extension
A Door Group is a global list of autho-
rized readers with associated Time
Zones. Control Functions for Relay and
Alarm also provide for time based con-
trol functions such as Trigger, Force On,
Lock Down, Mask, Start Exit Timer-
even a Special Function to set the Threat
Level in designated controllers. Control
functions can be used for security
measures or for control of elevators,
HV AC, lighting, etc. A credential can
perform multiple functions, but only one

a TWAIN device (e.g., a scanner) or a
video camera for use with a printed
badge. The pboto can be used with
Pboto Call-Up on selected doors to dis-
play who is going through the door.
Data ImportlExport Wizard
The Data Import Wizard takes supplied
data from a delimited file (.IXt or .csv)
and inserts new people and photos into
the personnel database, builds creden-
tials from templates, and automatically
downloads credentials to the controllers.
Personnel data, credential information,
and images are easily exported to a
delimited text file (flat fIle) with the
Data Export Wizard.
XML & API InteroperabUity
The Velocity Web Server is XML
enabled to accept a variety of Velocity
commands from 3rd party applications
and to return responses and lists to those
applications. The XML Writer can route
selective or all alarms and events over
designated TCPIIP ports. An Application
Programming Interface (API) allows
exchanging Person and Credential infor-
mation with a 3rd party application. The
XMU API Software Development Kit
(SDK) is ordered separately.
AIann Monitoring
Velocity presents alarms in both the
Alarm Viewer and Graphics. From
either, an operator can acknowledge an
alann and enter notes for accountability
and a permanent record. The user may
define the alarm priority (99 levels), as
well as text and/or audio (W A V)
instructions by Alarm Type.
The Alann Viewer has dedicated panes
for new and Acknowledged Alarms with
columns for Description, Acknowledged
Time, Workstation Acknowledged From
and Who Acknowledged. Each point has
an icon to indicate the current alarm!
nonnal status, available DVR clips, and a
counter to indicate multiple inslances.
Active and Acknowledged Alanns, with
counts, are shown in the status bar at the
bottom of the main window. The Alarm
Viewer can be configured to pop up on a
new alarm or to be launched by double
clicking the counters.
Status Viewer
The Status Viewer provides dynamic infor-
mation for user selected groups of poinls.
Status, alarm, masking and other data are
available for every point in the system.
Control functions are also available.
Graphics and Badging
For consistency, Velocity uses the same
integrated tools to create badges and con-
struct graphic pages, such as floor plans.
Badge creation is done by dragging
Objects from the Object Library onto a
"canvas" to create a badge template.
Objects include photos, signatures, and text
which are linked to the User Defined
Fields and hnages in the Personnel data-
base. Rich customization options include
fouts, colors (text, line and fill), grouping.
justification and resi7ing.
Graphics supports imported drawings
using file fonnats (dxf, bmp, wmf, emf,
jpg, gif) typically available as exports from
AutoCAD, Visio and other drawing pack-
ages. Objects for status and control,
embedded onto the drawings, represent
Ports, XBoxes, Modems, Controllers,
Doors, Readers, Inputs, Relays, DVRs,
Cameras, Control Zones, Graphic Links
and Command Sets. Objects are dragged
and dropped from the Topology Tree in the
Object Library onto discrete layers in a
Graphic. The user is able to edit or create
their own "integrated" objects. Custom
embedded links for AXIS IF cameras and
H1ML web pages are also supported.

for setup and configuration. Tbe Add New
Controller wizard provides for a quick
setup of the DIGI*TRAC controllers by
populating the database with default para-
meters and allocating the full complement
of Readers, Inputs, Relays, and Doors.

Time Zone, Door Group, etc., without
having to "back out" of your current dialog.
