Schedule A
Merced Police Department
The Grantor determined awards and adjustments based on the Project's merit, operational scale, compliance with the Request for Application (RFA), and program regulations. Certain activities or budget items proposed in Schedule A may have been deemed ineligible for funding. The final, binding list of authorized activities and expenses is set forth in Schedule B - Detailed Budget Estimate.

Project Description
The Merced Police Department's project will provide enforcement to increase the awareness on the dangers of driving under the influence along with enforcement activities to help combat the occurrences of DUI/DUID injuries and deaths. Funds will be used to fund overtime expenses to conduct saturation patrols and DUI checkpoints. In addition, we will purchase equipment, such as one DUI/DUID Enforcement Patrol Vehicle and six DUI/DUID Enforcement Patrol Motorcycles to improve our Traffic Unit for more effective operations.

Camera boxes will be built and installed at ten intersections with the highest count of crashes in order to improve evidence collection and investigate the causes. Other supplies and equipment needed for effective patrols and checkpoints include: changeable message sign trailer with LIDAR, cordless light tower, and heavy duty traffic cones.

The MPD project will allow for more visible enforcement and the reduction of impaired driving collisions that will greatly improve public safety.

DUI/DUID related driving and crashes continue to pose a significant risk to public safety and these resources are critical to reducing impaired driving, and protecting lives.

The acquisition of one patrol vehicle and six motorcycles are essential to improve officer mobility, visibility, and response times, allowing law enforcement to effectively patrol high-risk areas during saturation patrols, conduct sobriety checkpoints, and respond swiftly to DUI/DUID-related incidents. The addition of these vehicles will exponentially increase enforcement capabilities across our city by enabling coordinated operations, expanded coverage, and proactive deterrence.

Problem Statement
Despite the legalization of marijuana, the Merced Police Department (MPD) continues to see crimes being committed related to marijuana. The following arrests have occurred over the past two full calendar years:
11357 possession violations [2024 = 4, 2025 = 6]
11359 marijuana for sale [2024 = 0, 2025 - 1]
11360 sell/give/transportation of marijuana [2024 = 0, 2025 = 2] 23222 possession of marijuana while driving vehicle [2024 = 6, 2025 = 6] In 2025, the MPD had 11 arrests for 23152(F) and 2 arrests for 23152(G). The total number of DUl arrests in 2025 was 262.

In 2025, the MPD reported 100 crashes that involved the primary collision factor being under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Twenty-three people were injured and two people were killed.

MPD identified ten intersections that are victim to the most collisions. These intersections will be outfitted with in-house built camera boxes. The three cameras on each box will record all movement and provide accurate details of the collisions for improved documentation and evidence collection.

Checkpoint safety will be improved with the purchase of one changeable message sign trailer with LIDAR, one cordless light tower and heavy duty safety cones.

The MPD Traffic Unit has aging vehicles creating expensive repair costs. The requested one DUI/DUID Enforcement Patrol Vehicle and six DUI/DUID Enforcement Patrol Motorcycles will improve the Traffic Unit's ability to enforce DUI/DUID laws.

All of the objectives specified in this grant application will assist the MPD with decreasing the numbers of marijuana related arrests and crashes.

Schedule A
Performance Measures/Scope of Work (Proposed Solution)
The Merced Police Department will complete the following objectives:
(2) Checkpoints will be completed (1 each 6-month period); Aim is to reduce DUI/DUID injuries and deaths which improve roadway safety in our community; statistics will be kept during the checkpoint for drivers passing through and citations issued; press release will be issued to educate the community on the successes
(10) Saturation Patrols will be completed with (4) Officers per patrol (approximately 1 every other month - Q1 = 3, Q2 = 1, Q3 = 3, Q4 = 3); Aim is reduce DUI/DUID injuries and deaths which improve roadway safety in our community; statistics will be kept during the patrols; press release will be issued to educate the community on the successes
(1) DUI/DUID Enforcement Patrol Truck will be purchased; (Q1 = purchase, Q2 = receive, Q2-Q4 = use for checkpoints and saturation patrols)
(6) DUI/DUID Enforcement Patrol Motorcycles will be purchased; (Q1 = purchase, Q2 = receive, Q2-Q4 = use for checkpoints and saturation patrols)
Each vehicle will be ordered, received, paid, tracked, documented, and inventoried using City of Merced procurement processes.
(1) Cordless light tower ordered Q1, received Q1, paid Q2. (1) Changeable message sign trailer with LIDAR ordered Q1, received Q1, paid Q2. (10) Camera Boxes with supplies ordered Q1, received Q1, paid Q2. (12) Press Releases will be issued informing and educating the public about DUI/DUID and the results of operations (1 for each operation).

Checkpoint Management training will be scheduled as soon as possible.

Project Performance Evaluation
Each quarter, the Grant Coordinator will meet with the Traffic Unit Lieutenant and Traffic Unit to discuss progress on the objectives of the grant. This will ensure that all objectives are on track to be completed by the end of the grant period. This meeting will also include discussions on the effectiveness of each objective.

Topics will include: did a checkpoint get any arrests?, did patrols get any arrests?, how many officers completed training?, what's the status of supplies and equipment? These will be among the initial questions to be asked and then discussed on a quarterly basis. The primary goal of the grant is to decrease the number of marijuana related driving arrests. This saves lives, saves property, and saves money.

Program Sustainability
The Merced Police Department will have no plan in effect that will be 100% dedicated to DUI/DUID driving enforcement and/or compliance. Without grant funding, the goals and objectives described in this grant application will not be completed. The current sworn personnel level does not permit focused operations of this type to occur.

Administrative Support
The staff involved in this grant application and subsequent grant management are the following:

Crime Analyst writes, applies, accepts, manages, reports and closes out the grant. .. Administrative Assistant processes timesheets overtime slips, requests for purchases, and paying invoices.

Accountant completes the requests for reimbursement and all other financial documentation such as running reports to audit timesheets and overtime slips.

Traffic Unit Sergeant assigns and coordinates all grant objectives and operations and purchases equipment and supplies.

Schedule A
The MPD has an impeccable record in grant management. Due dates of program/fiscal reports are met on a consistent basis. The MPD currently has the following grants open and active: 2024 USDOJ JAG, 2025/26 CA OTS STEP, 2025/26 CA ABC, and 2025/26 CA DOJ Tobacco.

All operations are tracked using a project number that is assigned by the Accountant. The project number is used for accurately tracking expenses and costs.

A Data Collection Sheet is used for each operation listing the name of the operation, the date/time, the personnel that worked, the hours that each person worked, and then the results of operation. This Data Collection Sheet is then used to compare to employee timesheets and subsequent overtime reports.
