MEETING DATE: October 18, 2011 ITEM NUMBER:
SUBJECT: EMERGENCY SERVICES EQUIPMENT REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
DATE: OCTOBER 4, 2011
FROM: OFFICE OF THE CEO
PRESENTATION BY: THOMAS R. HATCH, CEO
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: THOMAS R. HATCH @ (714) 754-5328
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize staff to release the Request for Proposal
(RFP) for Emergency Services Equipment (Attachment 3) based. upon the analysis provided by
both the Emergency Services Equipment Contracting Committee and the Police Department. '
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
Council Policy 100-6 provides guidelines for evaluating the potential contracting of on-going City
services on a long-term or permanent basis. As set forth in the policy, a committee was formed.
and comprised of three segments: Project Responsibility, Department Representative and
Employee Representative. The committee was tasked with the following:
- Hearing a presentation from department representatives and asking questions about the
specific proposal under consideration;
- Working together to outline how to evaluate a comparable City effort to provide the same
or similar service;
- Having the project facilitator draft an analysis addressing the available alternatives for
service delivery as outlined by the committee; and,
- Determining if outside comparative data would be useful.
On September 12, 2011 the Emergency Services Equipment Contracting Committee met to
discuss the duties and responsibilities of the Emergency Services Equipment program and
determine "the available alternatives for service delivery." After hearing a presentation by
department staff and asking questions, the Contracting Committee determined the following
alternatives for the Emergency Services Equipment program:
1. Retain existing service level to existing cost.
2. Contract with another public entity.
3. Contract with a private provider.
On September 20, 2011 and September 28, 2011, the Contracting Committee met to discuss,
clarify and finalize the alternatives/options and the draft RFP. The following is an explanation of
the attachments.
Attachment 1, a memo from the Contracting Committee to the City CEO Tom Hatch, provides
identification and analysis of each alternative and survey information provided by other
agencies.
Attachment 2, a memo from Police Chief Tom Gazsi to the City CEO Tom Hatch, provides a
written evaluation (including pros and cons) of each option addressed by the Contracting
Committee.
Attachment 3, the draft RFP for Emergency Services Equipment, prepared by the Police
Department and reviewed and finalized by the Contracting Committee.
Based on the attached information it appears that the most viable alternatives are to retain the
existing service level but at a lower cost through reorganization or contracting with either a
public entity or private company for services. It is difficult to determine which of these
alternatives would provide the highest level of service at the lowest cost without issuing an RFP
so that appropriate cost analysis and comparisons in level of service can be made.
A few items should be noted with regard to the draft RFP. While we have identified in the draft
RFP the current level of expected service we have.done so on the assumption that the Council
wishes to retain the existing level of service, whoever provides it. However, the draft also
includes a specific request to proposers to identify "innovative and/or creative approaches for
providing the service that will maximize efficient, cost-effective operations or increase
performance capabilities." This would allow the Council to evaluate either a different level of
service, method of delivery, or other alternative that could maintain or enhance service levels at
a lower overall cost. The RFP also requests proposers to offer information about hiring existing
city employees and possible acquisition of City equipment currently used to perform the service.
Also note, that employees or groups of employees, who wish to submit a proposal in response
to the RFP, will be permitted to do so. Staff recommends that employees who wish to submit
bids or responses to RFPs as contract providers, should be advised to do so in compliance with
the RFP requirements and at the same time as other bidders.
As directed under Council Policy 100-6, the above is an analysis addressing the available
alternatives for service delivery as outlined by the Emergency Services Equipment Contracting
Committee.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
The City Council may decide not to release the RFP and direct the CEO to evaluate other
alternatives identified by the Emergency Services Equipment Contracting Committee.
FISCAL REVIEW:
The fiscal impact for outsourcing the identified City service is unknown at this time. If the City
Council directs staff to release the RFP a complete analysis of the proposals and the costs for
each will be provided to the City Council at that time.

CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends releasing
analysis provided by both the
Police Department.

DATE: SEPTEMBER 29, 2011
SUBJECT: EMERGENCY SERVICES EQUIPMENT CONTRACTING COMMITTEE
Council Policy 100-6 provides guidelines for evaluating the potential contracting of on-going City
services on a long-term or permanent basis. As set forth in the policy, a committee should be formed
and comprised of three segments: Project Responsibility, Department Representative and Employee
Representative. The committee is tasked with:
- hearing a presentation from department representatives and asking questions about the specific
proposal under consideration,
- working together to outline how to evaluate a comparable City effort to provide the same or
similar service,
having the project facilitator draft analysis addressing the available alternatives for service
delivery as outlined by the committee,
- determining if outside comparative data would be useful.
On September 12, 2011 the Emergency Services Equipment Contracting Committee met to discuss the
duties and responsibilities on the Emergency Services Equipment Program and determine "the available
alternatives for service delivery". After hearing a presentation about the draft Request For Proposal
(RFP) by department staff and asking questions, the Committee determined alternatives for the
Emergency Services Equipment Program.
On September 20, 2011 the Committee met to further discuss and clarify the draft RFP and
alternatives/options. Below are alternatives for the Emergency Services Equipment Program provided
by the City.
The Committee met again on September 28, 2011 to review a draft of this memo and to discuss the
options, and RFP.
I. Retain existing service level at existing cost.
Currently there are two full time employees providing all services, and the committee recognizes
that they perform different duties as it relates to Telecommunications. These duties are separated to
(1) all the basic communications of the City and offsite facilities and (2) communications and
equipment installation and maintenance on all rolling stock, especially public safety. While each
staff personnel has specific duties, both are trained to perform backup functions when necessary.
Therefore, the title of the RFP should probably change to Citywide & Public Safety
1
Attachment 1
Telecommunications Services. Given that, the committee does not see an option for reorganization
or reduction in current service level to reduce operating costs. The current staffing/personnel budget
is $208,211 and the maintenance & operations budget is $254,089.
2, Contract with another public entity.
The City could contact other local agencies to determine the desire to form a Joint Powers Authority
(JPA) to provide Citywide & Public Safety Telecommunication Services under a common/shared
staffing agreement and/or a common/shared facility. Currently the South Bay Regional Public
Communications Authority (SBRPCA) is a good example of cities who have regionalize this service.
Below is some information from the SBRPCA website.
"SBRPCA is a JPA currently owned by the cities of Gardena, Hawthorne and Manhattan Beach
while also providing communications services under contract to the cities of El Segundo and
Hermosa Beach."
"A technical services staff of seven provides radio communication installations, as well as light bars,
mobile camera and computer systems and all necessary equipment for full-service, emergency
vehicles. These technical services are also provided to the following outside agencies: El Camino.
College Campus Police Department, Gardena Public Works Department, Hermosa Beach Public
Works .Department, L.A. Impact, Manhattan Beach Public Works Department and the Redondo
Beach Fire Department. "
Should the City wish to pursue a regionalized effort through a JPA, communication with SBRPCA is
recommended,
Also, the County of Orange currently provides services for public safety radio equipment to other
agencies in the County,
3. Contract with a private provider.
The City could contract with a private provider for Citywide & Public Safety Telecommunications
Services. Unfortunately there are no examples in Orange County of agencies contracting all services,
however the committee recognizes the possibility exists. Therefore an RFP may provide information
about the availability of this option.
As directed under Council Policy 100-6, the above is an analysis addressing the available alternatives for
service delivery as outlined by the Emergency Services Equipment Contracting Committee. Attached is
a drafted Request For Proposal (RFP) prepared by Police Department staff, reviewed and approved by
the Committee, should you desire to present it to City Council.
The Emergency Services Equipment Contract Committee is available should you have any questions or
request more information.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Tom Hatch, Chief Executive Officer
FROM: Tom Gazsi, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Response in Compliance with City Council Policy 100-6
DATE: October 10, 2011
Per City Council Policy 100-6 guidelines, the Department's Chief of Police is to
provide the Chief Executive Officer with a response to the alternatives proposed
by the Emergency Services Equipment Contracting Committee.
Outlined in the Emergency Services Equipment Contracting Committee
Memorandum, Finance Director Bobby Young identifies the Committee's three
(3) alternatives for Citywide & Public Safety Telecommunication Services, which
are as follows:
1. Retain Existing Service Level at Existing Cost
2. Contract with Another Public Entity
3. Contract with a Private Provider
The following is a brief assessment of the alternatives from the perspective of the
Police Department.
Altemative 1: Retain Existing Service Level at Existing Cost
Pros: The City maintains its current level of service through the model of two
(2) designated and specially trained employees, who are additionally cross
trained to support and aid in the responsibilities of the other. This model
effectively and efficiently meets citywide needs 2417 and minimizes the down
time and turnaround of mission critical equipment.
Cons: The City would remain responsible for the salary & benefit costs of the
two (2) employees, in addition to maintenance & operation costs.
As systems and technology change, commensurate adaptation and training
must occur as well as support of programs and equipment. This requires
extensive training and support measures which can be costly.
Altemative 2: Contract with another Public Entity
Pros: The City may reduce its costs associated to employee salary &
benefits, in addition to overall maintenance & operation costs. - _
Attachment 2
A contract :with one or more cities could increase Costa Mesa's access to
additional resources and: services. This could potentially enhance the overall.
effectiveness of services to the City:
Cons: The fiscal impact: of contracting with. another public entity is unknown
at this time. There are examples of public entities providing contract services.
for portions of the Citywide & Public Safety Telecommunication: Services.
scope of work (e.g., the orange County Sheriff's Department contracts to.
provide service for the County's 800 M.Hz radio system).
It; :is: also unknown how contracting with °another public entity may affect
service levels .in the .areas of ,responsiveness to work requests; turnaround.
time; and quality assurance:
Alternative'3 Contract with a Private Provider
Pr=:: eliminate its employee salary benefit.. costs Maintenance
& operation:costs may also be reduced.
Alternative; 3 may create :interest of a local private source to meet the
respective services.
Cons The fiscal impact of contracting with a private provider is unknown at.
this time. There is no. example of a private provider that contracts services for
the entire Citywide & :Public Safety Telecommunication Services scope of
work. Various private providers may be required, and a. need for contract
management. and quality assurance would be require,'
It is also unknown :how contracting with a private provider. may affect service
levels: in the areas of responsiveness to work requests, turnaround time; and
quality assurance.
These responses are !:.brief assessment. of the alternatives identified by the
Committee. A further:assessment may be conducted as direction. is provided,.
Staff is available. should you have any questions and/or request further

Exhibit D.
In the event the repair of any of these environments impacts the City with less than 80% of its
inventory, an acceptable solution that keeps the City whole must be identified, with exception of
the Fire Station Alerting Systems the requirement is 100%. Due to the "mission critical" nature
of most all systems supported, the City strives for a constant 100% availability or usability.

rather than days. Response time required varies dependent upon the equipment and the
inventory being maintained. Mission critical (dispatch consoles, phone system, CAD, etc.) will
need to be addressed immediately. Equipment that is mission critical, but for which a backup
system and/or inventory is maintained, would need to be addressed efficiently to ensure the spare
unit and/or inventory is replaced and available for operational needs. Proposers should identify
Attachment 3 10
response times they propose for various items of telecommunications or radio equipment and any
increased costs due to the need to respond immediately.
The successful bidder shall have specific knowledge of the following:

particular evaluation criteria may also be considered even if not specified below.

for other public agencies of similar size, references.

Attachment 3 16
7. EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS AND SELECTION PROCESS
In accordance with its Municipal Code, the City will adhere to the following procedures in
evaluating proposals. An Evaluation/Selection Committee (Committee), which may include
members of the City's staff and possibly one or more outside experts, will screen and review all
proposals according to the weighted criteria set forth above. While price is one basic factor for
award, it is not the sole consideration.
A. Responsiveness Screening
Proposals will first be screened to ensure responsiveness to the RFP. The City may reject
as non-responsive any proposal that does not include the documents required to be
submitted by this RFP. At any time during the evaluation process, the City reserves the
right to request clarifications or additional information from any or all Proposers
regarding their proposals.
B. Initial Proposal Review
The Committee will initially review and score all responsive written proposals based
upon the Evaluation Criteria set forth above. The Committee may also contact Proposer's
references. Proposals that receive the highest evaluation scores may be invited to the
next stage of the evaluation process. The City may reject any proposal in which a
Proposer's approach, qualifications, or price is not considered acceptable by the City. An
unacceptable proposal is one that would have to be substantially rewritten to make it
acceptable. The City may conclude the evaluation process at this point and recommend
award to the lowest responsible bidder. Alternatively, the City may elect to negotiate
directly with one or more Proposers to obtain the best result for the City prior to making a
recommendation or selection.
C. Interviews, Reference Checks, Revised Proposals, Discussions
Following the initial screening and review of proposals, the Proposers included in this
stage of the evaluation process may be invited to participate in an oral interview.
Interviews, if held, are tentatively scheduled for , 2011 and will
be conducted at City of Costa Mesa City Hall, 77 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626.
This date is subject to change. The individual(s) from Proposer's firm or entity that will
be directly responsible for carrying out the contract, if awarded, should be present at the
oral interview. The oral interview may, but is not required to, use a written
question/answer format for the purpose of clarifying the intent of any portions of the
proposal.
In addition to conducting an oral interview, the City may during this stage of the
evaluation process also contact and evaluate the Proposer's references, contact any
Proposer to clarify any response or request revised or additional information, contact any
current users of a Proposer's services, solicit information from any available source
Attachment 3
17
concerning any aspect of a proposal, and seek and review any other information deemed
pertinent to the evaluation process.
Following conclusion of this stage of the evaluation process, the Committee will again
rank all Proposers according to the evaluation criteria set forth above. The Committee
may conclude the evaluation process at this point, and make a recommendation for
award, or it may request Best and Final Offers from Proposers. The City may accept the
proposal or negotiate the terms and conditions of the agreement with the highest ranked
firm, which shall be determined to be the lowest responsible bidder. The City may
recommend award without Best and Final Offers, so Proposers should include their best
proposal with their initial submission.
Recommendation for award is contingent upon the successful negotiation of final
contract terms. Negotiations shall be confidential and not subject to disclosure to
competing Proposers unless an agreement is reached. If contract negotiations cannot be
concluded successfully within a time period determined by the City, the City may
terminate negotiations and commence negotiations with the next highest scoring Proposer
or withdraw the RFP.
8. PROTEST PROCEDURES
Failure to comply with the rules set forth herein may result in rejection of the protest. Protests
based upon restrictive specifications or alleged improprieties in the proposal procedure which are
apparent or reasonably should have been discovered prior to receipt of proposals shall be filed in
writing with the RFP Facilitator at least 10 calendar days prior to the deadline for receipt of
proposals. The protest must clearly specify in writing the grounds and evidence on which the
protest is based.
Protests based upon alleged improprieties that are not apparent or which could not reasonably
have been discovered prior to submission date of the proposals, such as disputes over the staff
recommendation for contract award, shall be submitted in writing to the RFP Facilitator, within
forty-eight hours from receipt of the notice from the City advising of staff's recommendation for
award of contract. The protest must clearly specify in writing the grounds and evidence on which
the protest is based. The RFP Facilitator will respond to the protest in writing at least three days
prior to the meeting at which staff s recommendation to the City Council will be considered.
Should Proposer decide to appeal the response of the RFP Facilitator, and pursue its protest at
the Council meeting, it will notify the RFP Facilitator of its intention at least two days prior to
the scheduled meeting.
9. CONFIDENTIALITY
The California Public Records Act (Cal. Govt. Code Sections 6250 et seq.) mandates public
access to government records. Therefore, unless information is exempt from disclosure by law,
the content of any request for explanation, exception, or substitution, response to this RFP,
protest, or any other written communication between the City and Proposer, shall be available to
the public. The City intends to release all public portions of the proposals following the
evaluation process at such time as a recommendation is made to the City Council.
Attachment 3 18
If Proposer believes any communication contains trade secrets or other proprietary information
that the Proposer believes would cause substantial injury to the Proposer's competitive position
if disclosed, the Proposer shall request that the City withhold from disclosure the proprietary
information by marking each page containing such proprietary information as confidential.
Proposer may not designate its entire proposal as confidential nor designate its Price Proposal as
confidential.
Submission of a proposal shall indicate that, if Proposer requests that the City withhold from
disclosure information identified as confidential, and the City complies with the Proposer's
request, Proposer shall assume all responsibility for any challenges resulting from the non-
disclosure, indemnify and hold harmless the City from and against all damages (including but
not limited to attorney's fees that may be awarded to the party requesting the Proposer
information), and pay any and all costs and expenses related to the withholding of Proposer
information. Proposer shall not make a claim, sue, or maintain any legal action against the City
or its directors, officers, employees, or agents concerning the disclosure, or withholding from
disclosure, of any Proposer information. If Proposer does not request that the City withhold from
disclosure information identified as confidential, the City shall have no obligation to withhold
the information from disclosure and may release the information sought without any liability to
the City.
10. EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS
Proposers and Proposers' representatives should not communicate with the City Council
members about this RFP. In addition, Proposers and Proposers' representatives should not
communicate outside the procedures set forth in this RFP with an officer, employee or agent of
the City, including any member of the evaluation panel, with the exception of the RFP
Facilitator, regarding this RFP until after Contract Award. Proposers and their representatives
are not prohibited, however, from making oral statements or presentations in public to one or
more representatives of the City during a public meeting.

directors, consultants and agents, any subcontractors or suppliers listed in the Proposer's
proposal, and any individual or entity who has been requested by the Proposer to contact the City
on the Proposer's behalf. Proposers shall include the Ex Parte Communications form (Appendix
C) with their proposals certifying that they have not had or directed prohibited communications
as described in this section.
11. CONFLICT OF INTEREST
The Proposer warrants and represents that it presently has no interest and agrees that it will not
acquire any interest which would present a conflict of interest under California Government
Code sections 1090 et seq., or sections 87100 et seq., during the performance of services under
any Agreement awarded. The Proposer further covenants that it will not knowingly employ any
person having such an interest in the performance of any Agreement awarded. Violation of this
provision may result in any Agreement awarded being deemed void and unenforceable.
12. DISCLOSURE OF GOVERNMENTAL POSITION
Attachment 3 19
In order to analyze possible conflicts that might prevent a Proposer from acting on behalf of the
City, the City requires that all Proposers disclose in their proposals any positions that they hold
as directors, officers, or employees of any governmental entity. Additional disclosure may be
required prior to contract award or during the term of the contract. Each Proposer shall disclose
whether any owner or employee of the firm currently hold positions as elected or appointed
officials, directors, officers, or employees of a governmental entity or held such positions in the
past twelve months using the attached "Disclosure of Government Positions Form." (See
Appendix F.)
13 CONDITIONS TO AGREEMENT, IF ANY.
The selected Proposer will execute an Agreement for Services with the City describing the Scope
of Services to be performed, the schedule for completion of the services, compensation, and
other pertinent provisions. The contract shall follow the sample form of Agreement provided as
Appendix B to this RFP, which may be modified by City. All Proposers are directed to
particularly review the indemnification and insurance requirements set forth in the sample
Agreement.
The terms of the agreement, including insurance requirements have been mandated by the
City and can be modified only if extraordinary circumstances exist. Submittal of a proposal
shall be deemed acceptance of all the terms set forth in this RFP and the sample Agreement for
Services unless the Proposer includes with its proposal, in writing, any conditions or exceptions
requested by the Proposer to the proposed Agreement. In accordance with the Municipal Code,
the City may consider the scope and number of conditions in evaluation proposals and
determining the lowest responsible bidder.
14. DISQUALIFICATION QUESTIONNAIRE
Proposers shall complete and submit, under penalty of perjury, a standard form of questionnaire
inquiring whether a Proposer, any officer of a proposer, or any employee of a Proposer who has
a proprietary interest in the Proposer, has ever been disqualified, removed, or otherwise
prevented from proposing on, or completing a federal, state, or local government project because
of a violation of law or safety regulation and if so, to explain the circumstances. A proposal may
be rejected on the basis of a Proposer, any officer or employee of such Proposer, having been

or local project because of a violation of law or a safety regulation. See Appendix E.
