Company Information and Personnel Verification
General Company Information
DataGear was founded in 1998, over two highly successful decades ago. The heart of our business model, from which we have never deviated was, and remains, to design, build, implement, test and maintain extremely sophisticated, wireless, surveillance, security and communication systems, to include the physical installation of all required hardware and the implementation of all required applications.
When an access point is to be affixed to a wall, we affix it. When an access point is to be mounted on a lamppost, we bring in the DataGear owned bucket truck and mount it.
When a tower must be built to accommodate an access point, we build it and mount the access point atop it. DataGear Inc. epitomizes the definition of a full-service Industrial Data Solutions company.
As the incumbent company providing these services, this Gardena RFP is an absolutely perfect fit for DataGear. It requires the exact training, skills and experience that define us. We have a background and a successful track record with each of the hardware and software vendors required in the performance of this RFP.
Our expertise, experience, resources, and deep understanding of our customers’ needs, coupled with our partnerships with manufacturers, allow us to consistently deliver solutions that exceed the requirements, wants, needs and expectations of our customers.

AGENDA REPORT SUMMARY
Agenda Item No. 18.A
Section: DEPARTMENTAL
ITEMS - TRANSPORTATION
Meeting Date: December 17,
2024
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE GARDENA CITY COUNCIL AGENDA TITLE:
Approve Easement and Right of Way for Southern California Edison to Provide Electrical Power for Vehicle Charging Stations
COUNCIL ACTION REQUIRED:
Staff Recommendation: Approve Grant of Easement and Right of Way and Authorize Signature
RECOMMENDATION AND STAFF SUMMARY:
To support the construction and operation of a new electric vehicle charging station at its facility located at 13999 S. Western Avenue, GTrans is working with Southern California Edison (SCE) to bring sufficient electric service onto the property to accommodate that need.
GTrans is participating in SCE’s Charge Ready Transport (CRT) Program, which offers low-to no-cost electrical system upgrades to support the installation of electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment for qualifying vehicles. Under the program, SCE will design, construct, and install the necessary infrastructure on the utility-side of the electric meter. Once electrical work is complete, GTrans will install its seven existing chargers on the customer-side of the meter.
In order to begin its work, SCE requires the City to grant an easement and right of way for a segment of the GTrans yard leading from 139th street to the charging station location within the yard.
Therefore Staff is requesting Council's approval to grant the easement and right of way for the vehicle charging station and to authorize the Mayor to sign the required document, which has already been reviewed by the City Attorney.
FINANCIAL IMPACT/COST:
While granting the easement and right of way under SCE's CRT program is at no cost, GTrans has dedicated local, state and federal funds for the eventual construction and installation of its electric charging station. There is no impact to the General Fund.
