Principal Structural Engineer
Mr. Kelsey has over 13 years of experience in structural engineering, designing both new and retrofit projects for various types of structures including infrastructure,
military, commercial, and water/wastewater facilities. Mr. Kelsey has performed extensive structural design, seismic analysis, evaluation and condition assessments for new and existing buildings, infrastructure, civil and water/wastewater structures throughout California. He has a passion for creative engineering design while providing efficient, cost-effective solutions for his clients.
Relevant Project Experience
City of San Diego Box Culvert Transition Structure Emergency Repair Project, San Diego, CA - Mr. Kelsey provided the structural design for multiple transition box structures, custom curved box culverts, and other miscellaneous concrete structures for the City of San Diego. The transition structures consisted of custom reinforced concrete vertical shafts with depths up to 60’ below grade supporting City standard circular manholes that extended the upper 20’ to roads above. A key aspect of the project included the connection of a new curved box culvert to a large arch shaped corrugated steel storm drain tunnel, which required a new concrete frame structure with a custom connection consisting of through-bolted curved plates buttressing each side of the existing tunnel shell designed to resist heavy soil surcharge loads from above.
City of San Diego Sheldon Drive Sewer Improvements, La Mesa, CA - Mr. Kelsey provided the structural design for a 10’-0” tall v-shaped concrete retaining wall adjacent to a new manhole structure for the City of La Mesa. The wall was located on a steep sloping property near existing residences where a new manhole and piping was required to be installed. The new manhole structure and piping penetrated the retaining wall foundation, requiring special considerations for the reinforcing detailing, constrained space and irregular configuration at the site while minimizing disturbance to local traffic and the community.
Helen Woodward Animal Center Stormwater Upgrades, Ranch Santa Fe, CA - Mr. Kelsey provided the structural design for a precast below grade wet well foundation. The foundation consisted of reinforced concrete and accounted ground water pressure due to the high-water table at the site. The design was coordinated with the precast manufacturer for the wall foundation connection and roof slab design. Waterproofing details were provided and a stringent precast concrete performance specification was developed to help ensure a leak-free and long-lasting structure. The design followed the requirements of the California Building Code and included environmental factors for liquid containing structures per ACI 350-06 to limit cracking of the concrete.
Padre Dam Water Reclamation Facility Clearwell Emergency Repair Project, Santee, CA – Mr. Kelsey provided the emergency repair design of the PDMWD WRF Clearwell in Santee, CA as a subconsultant to Dudek as part of their current asneeded engineering contract. The project included concrete rehabilitation due to extensive concrete cover loss with some corroded rebar repair due to sulfuric acid exposure. The condition assessment and repair were performed during a shutdown, therefore the report, recommendations and cost estimates were completed simultaneous to the mobilization of the contractor in order to meet the project schedule. The concrete repairs were coordinated with the required coating surface preparation to be applied after concrete repair curing and KS performed structural observations of the work to ensure proper implementation.
City of San Diego Cooks Cave Emergency Project, La Jolla, CA - Mr. Kelsey provided the emergency design for a replacement pavement slab as a subconsultant to Dudek as part of an emergency storm drain repair for the City of San Diego.
Design included a reinforced concrete slab designed for H20 loading spanning over (2) shallow storm drain pipe trenches to prevent surcharging of the HDPE pipes due to vehicle loading. The project required a quick design turnaround and cost-effective solution to minimize construction time and limit traffic impacts while completing the project before the wet season.
Vista Irrigation District AB Line and Meyer’s Siphon, Vista, CA - Mr. Kelsey provided the structural design for a new siphon transition structure for Vista Irrigation District in Vista, CA. The structure consisted of a below-grade reinforced concrete vault approximately 8’-0” wide x 20’-0” long x 10’ deep. The vault had two interior levels with upper and lower cells to accommodate the inlet at an existing open flume and elevation drop to the outlet siphon pipe.

The pipeline crosses over a river with foundations that were scoured out during heavy flooding. The new pipeline and foundations required a quick solution and design as the existing pipe had to be taken out of service and diverted following its collapse. Design included new concrete bridge abutments, bridge anchorage, and preliminary design of the steel bridge crossing.
City of San Diego Bear Drive Retaining Wall Replacement, San Diego, CA - Mr. Kelsey provided the structural design for a new 10’-0” tall concrete retaining wall with vehicle barrier. The 100’ long wall as located on a narrow, downward sloping residential street with limited space. Special considerations for construction and traffic access were required and a Caltrans impact barrier was incorporated on top of the wall for safety. Site visits were performed for observations of the existing wall configuration and considerations for possible impacts to nearby residences located directly adjacent to the street.
City of Carlsbad Lake Calavera Outlet Improvements, Carlsbad, CA - Mr. Kelsey provided the structural design for improvements of an existing outlet vault and pipe supports for the City of Carlsbad. The project consisted of strengthening modifications to an existing concrete below grade vault due to a new pipe connection with steel bolted cover. The new pipe and steel cover imposed thrust loads on the existing outlet structure, which required the construction of a new structural wall with epoxy reinforcing steel dowels embedded into the existing vault wall to resist the loading.
City of San Diego North City Conveyance System, San Diego, CA - Mr. Kelsey provided the structural design for the City of San Diego NCCS project which included a new pipeline bridge and dechlorination structure. The 48” diameter pipeline utility bridge spanned 100’ over an existing railway under the existing Miramar Road concrete bridge. The pipeline bridge included a new steel framed support structure anchored to the existing bridge abutments and columns. Considerations for gravity, seismic and thermal expansion loads were required during design. Slip connections were utilized for longitudinal expansion and the pipe was designed to free span over 30’ between bridge columns South Coast Water District Lift Station 6 Rehab - Mr. Kelsey provided the structural design services for the foundation and wall rehabilitation of an existing CMU building due to foundation settlement at the South Coast Water District (SCWD) Lift Station 6 in Laguna Beach, California. This project had to consider constructability due to limited site access and space, and the complexity of leveling the existing building without damaging the existing equipment and underground utilities while remaining operational. The scope of work included site visits for structural observations, repair recommendations, construction documents for the specification of a helical anchor foundation system, and the required epoxy injection repairs for cracking that had occurred.
Gafner Advanced Water Treatment Plant Improvements Project, Leucadia, CA - Mr. Kelsey provided the structural design for improvements at the existing Gafner Advanced Water Treatment Plant for Leucadia Wastewater district including design for facilities such as clear wells, chlorine contact tanks, reactor/clarifiers, and filter structures. The project consisted of a condition assessment and report, structural repair drawings, and cost estimates for repairs to multiple structures. The design included the replacement of structural steel beam supports for existing pumps, and the design of new steel supports for new pumps and mixers, concrete surface and crack repair, and steel corrosion repair details.
OMWD Neighborhood No.1 Pump Station, San Diego, CA - Mr. Kelsey provided the structural design for a new sewer pump station and electrical building to be constructed in the 4S Ranch neighborhood of San Diego, CA for Olivenhain Municipal Water District. The project included a reinforced concrete rectangular below grade pump station and an above grade CMU electrical building with steel framed roof structure. Numerous penetrations and suspended equipment at the pump station top slab required precise reinforcement detailing to reduce rebar congestions and improve the performance of the structure.
General Atomics Flood Wall, San Diego, CA – Mr. Kelsey provided the QA/QC review for the structural design of approximately 2,500 lineal feet of concrete masonry unit retaining/flood walls for General Atomics (GA). Heavy rains in the Sorrento Valley area of San Diego had flooded several GA buildings prompting construction of watertight flood walls. Poor soil conditions coupled with the high flood plain elevation required the use of enlarged concrete foundations, drilled piers and extensive collaboration with the geotechnical engineer to provide safe wall designs capable of resisting lateral fluid and buoyant uplift pressures. A 500 lineal foot drilled pier wall was required next to an existing stormwater channel which required advanced pile analysis to minimize embedment depths, demolition and excavation required.

STRATEGIC PLAN CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS
• Efficient, Responsive, and Effective City Services
• Safe Community
• Well-Maintained Infrastructure
• Fiscally Responsible and Transparent City Government
BACKGROUND
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security provides funding to state and local governments through the State Homeland Security Program (SHSP). In past years, the City has received several such grants to fund equipment and training for the City’s Police and Fire Departments. The SHSP is administered locally by the County of Los Angeles, whose approval authority determines how much each city will receive and what may be purchased with the grant funds. The funds are distributed after the City executes a formal Subrecipient Agreement (SRA) with the County, completes the authorized purchases or training, and submits a claim for reimbursement.
DISCUSSION
The County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors has accepted the 2019 State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) selection for the Los Angeles County Operational Area and received requisite State approvals to proceed with the allocation of funds to program recipients. In order to facilitate this effort, the County of Los Angeles requires an SRA with the City of San Marino, which outlines the requirements of the grant and provides guidelines for SHSP reimbursement of eligible expenses related to portable automated license plate readers (ALPR). The SRA was approved at TO: Mayor and City Council

STATE HOMELAND SECURITY PROGRAM GRANT FUNDS
Susan Jakubowski, Mayor
Steve Talt, Vice Mayor
Steven W. Huang, DDS, Council Member
Gretchen Shepherd Romey, Council Member
Ken Ude, Council Member
the February 10, 2021 City Council meeting and awarded the City $51,789 to cover the costs associated with the purchase of portable ALPRs.
This amount is in addition to the $70,199 that was approved as part of the 2018 SHSP Grant which purchased three ALPR devices that are in use. The City also currently leases 22 ALPR cameras that are deployed throughout the City. Portable license plate readers provide another tool for the Police Department to provide a safe community. These ALPR devices will be mounted on two new police vehicles. As the officers patrol the city in their vehicles, the devices will be reading license plates to obtain information concerning stolen or wanted vehicles.
FISCAL IMPACT & PROCUREMENT REVIEW
There will be no impact to the General Fund as this is a reimbursement grant. The County of Los Angeles and the State of California, upon receipt of goods by the City of San Marino Police Department, will process a reimbursement. Reimbursement is expected to take 90-120 days. No further appropriations are needed as the $51,789 was included as part of FY 2021-22 Capital Equipment Budget.
Based on bids received by various vendors who provide ALPRs that are similar to the models that are already in use by the Police Department, staff recommends pursuing ALPRs from Vigilant Solutions, LLC. Below is a summary of the bids that were received.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the staff report as to legal form.
Vendor Name
Cost for 2 3-Camera ALPRs + 5
Years of Hosting Notes
Vigilant Solutions, LLC $ 51,738.05
Leonardo 57,123.00 *
NDI Recognition Systems N/A **
Genetec N/A **
Coban Technologies/Safe Fleet N/A **
* Quote Does Not Include Sales Tax and the City is responsible for paying sales tax of 9.5%.
The City would also incur setup charges and additional yearly migration fees to transfer data into the LEARN system that the Police Department uses for the 3 ALPRs already in place. ** Company was non-responsive and did not provide a bid after numerous attempts
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Council authorize the purchase of six ALPR cameras to be deployed in two patrol vehicles with five (5) years of data hosting offered through the State of California FY2019 Homeland Security Grant Program in an amount not to exceed $51,789 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. If the City Council concurs with staff’s recommendation, an appropriate motion would be:
“I move to authorize the purchase of six ALPR cameras with 5 years of data hosting from Vigilant Solutions, LLC offered through the reimbursable State of California FY2019 Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP) in an amount not to exceed $51,789.”

Program Overview, Objectives and Priorities
fY 2019 HSGP NOFO
Overview
One of the core missions of DHS/FEMA is to enhance the ability of state, territory, local, and tribal governments to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from terrorist attacks and other disasters. DHS/FEMA’s comprehensive suite of grant programs are an important part of the Administration’s larger, coordinated effort to strengthen homeland secLirity preparedness.
The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) is one tool among a comprehensive set of initiatives authorized by Congress and implemented by the Administration to help strengthen the Nation against risks associated with potential terrorist attacks.
The 2018-2022 FEMA Strategic Plan creates a shared vision for the field of emergency management and sets an ambitious, yet achievable, path forward to unify and further professionalize emergency management across the country. The HSGP supports the goal of Readying the Nation for Catastrophic Disasters. We invite all our stakeholders and partners to also adopt these priorities and join us in building a more prepared and resilient Nation.
Objectives
Within this broader construct, the objective ofthe FY 2019 HSGP is to provide funds to eligible entities to support state, local, tribal, and territorial efforts to prevent terrorism and other catastrophic events and to prepare the Nation for the threats and hazards that pose thc greatest risk to the security of the United States.
State Homeland Security Program (SHSP): The SHSP supports state, local, tribal, and territorial preparedness activities that address high priority preparedness gaps across all core capabilities that support terrorism preparedness.
Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI): The UASI Program assists high-threat, highdensity Urban Areas in efforts to build, sustain, and deliver the capabilities necessary to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from acts ofterrorism.
Operation Stonegarden (OPSG): OPSG supports enhanced cooperation and coordination among Customs and Border Protection (CBP), United States Border Patrol (USBP), and federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies. OPSG provides funding to support joint efforts to secure the United States’ borders along routes of ingress from international borders to include travel corridors in states bordering Mexico and Canada as well as states and territories with international water borders.
Performance Metrics
Performance metrics for this program are as follows:
SI-ISP and UASI:
• Percent improvement in Stakeholder Preparedness Review (SPR) capabilities against Threat and Hazard identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) targets; and • Percent ofstates and territories with a Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) and SPR that meet current DHS/FEMA guidance.
OPSG:
FY 2019 HSGP NOfO
• Percent of funding that provides intelligence-based operational support; and • Percent of funding that provides force multiplier activities across two or more state, local, or tribal law enforcement agencies.
For purposes of the SHSP and UASI program, DHS/FEMA requires states, territories, and high-risk urban areas to complete a THIRA/SPR and to prioritize grant funding to support closing capability gaps or sustaining capabilities identified in this process. Additional information on the THIRA/SPR process, including other National Preparedness System (NPS) tools and resources, can be found at https://www.fema.gov/national-prepai-edness system.
Priorities
DHS/FEMA continually assesses changes to the threat landscape to further the National Preparedness Goal (the Goal) of a secure and resilient nation. This analysis provides a perspective on critical preparedness trends for whole community partners to use to inform program priorities, allocate resources, and communicate with stakeholders about issues of shared concern. DIIS/FEMA have identified the following as national priority areas:
• Emerging Threats, including Cybersecurity
• Lifelines (more information found in this fact sheet and toolkit) • Safety and Security
• Food, Water, Sheltering
* Health and Medical
• Energy
• Communications
• Transportation
• I [azardous Material
In addition to addressing gaps identified by SPRs, recipients should consider funding projects that address the above priorities of DIlS/FEMA.

C. Eliibilitv Information
Eligible Applicants
The State Administrative Agency (SAA) is the only entity eligible to submit HSGP applications to DHS/FEMA, including those applications submitted on behalf of VAST and OPSG applicants. All 56 states and territories, including any state of the United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth ofthe Northern Mariana Islands, are eligible to apply for SHSP funds. Tribal governments may not apply directly for HSGP funding; however, funding may be available to tribes under the SHSP and OPSG through the SAA.
Eligibility Criteria
Etigible high-risk urban areas for the fY 2019 UASI program have been determined through an analysis of relative risk of terrorism faced by the 100 most populous Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) in the United States. Subawards will be made by the SAAs to the designated high-risk urban areas.
Eligible subrecipients under FY 2019 OPSG are local units of government at the county level or equivalent level of government and federally-recognized tribal governments in states bordering Canada or Mexico and states and territories with international water borders. All applicants must have active ongoing USBP operations coordinated through a CBP sector office to be eligible for OPSG funding.
Under FY 2019 OPSG, subrecipients eligible to apply for and receive a subaward directly from the SAAs are divided into three Tiers. Tier I entities are local units of government at the county level or equivalent and federally recognized tribal governments that are on a physical border in states bordering Canada, states bordering Mexico, and states and territories with international water borders. Tier 2 eligible subrecipients are those not located on the physical border or international water but are contiguous to a Tier 1 county. Tier 3 eligible subrecipients are those not located on the physical border or international water but are contiguous to a Tier 2 eligible subrecipient. Tier 2 and Tier 3 eligible scibrecipients may be eligible to receive funding based on border security risk as determined by the USBP.
Other Eligibility Criteria
National Incident Management System (NIMS) implementation Prior to allocation of any federal preparedness awards in FY 2019, recipients must ensure and maintain adoption and implementation of NIMS. Detailed information on NIMS requirements are in the Preparedness Grants Manual.
Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) Membership
FY 2019 HSGP NOFO
In support of the Goal, recipients must belong to, be in, or act as a temporary member of EMAC, except for American Samoa and the Commonwealth ofthe Northern Mariana Islands, which are not required to belong to EMAC at this time. All assets supported in part or entirety with FY 2019 HSGP funding must be readily deployable and NIMS-typed when possible to support emergency or disaster operations per existing EMAC agreements. In addition, funding may be used for the sustainment of core capabilities that, while they may not be physically deployable, support national response capabilities such as Geographic!Geospatial Information Systems (GIS), interoperable communications systems, capabilities as defined under the mitigation mission area of the Goal, and fusion centers.
Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Activities (LETPA) Per section 2006 ofthe liTornetand Security Act of2002, as amended (6 U.S.C. § 607), DHS/FEMA is required to ensure that at least 25 percent of grant funding appropriated for grants awarded under HSGP’s authorizing statute are used for law enforcement terrorism prevention activities. DHS/FEMA meets this requirement, in part, by requiring all recipients allocate at least 25 percent of the combined RSGP funds allocated under SI-ISP and UASI towards law enforcement terrorism prevention activities, as defined in 6 U.S.C. § 607. The LETPA allocation can be from SHSP, UASI, or both. The 25 percent LETPA allocation is in addition to the 80 percent pass through requirement to local units of government and tribes, referenced below.

For each project, several pieces of information must be provided to submit the project for consideration in the application, including the name of the project, the project description, the name of the subrecipient, if applicable, the recipient type (e.g., state or local), the project location (zip code ofthe primary location ofthe project), the primary core capability the project supports, and whether the project activities are shareable and deployable.
Development of fusion Center Investments (SHSP and UASI) If applicable, each IJ must include and identifi a fLtsion center investment that will:
• Indicate alignment to a designated Fusion Center.
• Provide both a brief narrative description and funding itemization of the project activities relating to the proposed resources that directly support the designated Fusion Center.
This descriptive narrative should align with both the financial itemization and improvement or sustainment of performance measures because ofreceiving the proposed funding. If the project description and funding itemization do not directly support the fusion center and the relationship to the fusion center is not identified, then the
FY 2019 HSGP NOFO
investment may be conditionally approved until a fusion Center Addendum is submitted and approved. Note: A sample project description and funding itemization are below.
Identi’ the expected improvement or sustainment of performance measures because of receiving the proposed funding for the itemized projects.
Effectively address performance measures identified in each fusion center’s individual assessment data found in the HSIN-Intel Fusion Centet Profile. A list of the 2019 Performance Measures can be found in the Preparedness Grants Manual.
Sample Fusion center Project Description
The following is an example of a sample fusion center project description that could be included in a SHSP or UASI investment:
The X Fusion enhancement project willfund salaries, benefits, and trainingfor X number of Fusion Center intelligence analysts, maintenance and supportfor the center’s enabling systems, travel costs associated with training, and the replacement ofX computer monitors within the fusion Center. The pro/ect will directly sustain the Center ‘s achieved abilittes and work to close the gap of any current capabilities through the sustained jimding ofits current ana4’ticat staffand enabling systems. This project directly aligns with performance measures 2019.1-2019.23. We anticipate seeing an improvement ofthe quality and quantity ofreporting as a direct result ofthe funding ofthis project.
Sample fusion center funding Itemization

FY 2019 HSGP NOFO
specific situation and forms the basis for Operations Orders, in coordination with state and federal law enforcement agencies, to include, but not limited to CBP/USBP. CONOPs that are developed at the county level should he inclusive of city, county, tribal, and other local law enforcement agencies that are eligible to participate in OPSG operational activities, and the CONOP/Application should describe participating agencies in the Executive Summary.
CONOP/Application details should include the names of the agencies, points of contact. and individual funding requests. All CONOPs/Applications must be developed in collaboration with the local USBP sector office, the SAA and the local unit of government. Requests for funding in CONOPs/Applications must be based on risks and the operational enforcement support requirements of its corresponding USBP Sector. Sector offices will forward the CONOPs to USBP Headquarters for vetting and coordination. Applicants will forward corresponding OPSG Applications to the SAA for submission to FEMA. USBP Headquarters will reconcile all submitted CONOPs with the OPSG Applications.
Intergovernmental Review
An intergovernmental review may be required. Appticants must contact their state’s Single Point of Contact (SPOC) to comply with the state’s process under Executive Order 12372. See https://www.archives.gov/federal-registcr/codification/executive-order/ 123 72.htm I h ttps://wtvw.whitehouse.gov/wp-conteni/uploads/20 I 7/I I /SPOC-Feb -201 8.pd f.

Emergency Communications Investments
If an entity uses HSGP funding to support emergency communications investments, the following requirements shall apply to alt such grant-funded communications investments in support of the emergency communications priorities and recognized best practices:
• Applicants must describe in the investment how proposed communications investments align to needs identified in their SCIP. Effective project alignment will require advance coordination with the SWIC and consultation with governing bodies such as the SIGB or Statewide Interoperabitity Executive Committee (SIEC), as they serve as the primary steering group for the statewide interoperability strategy. Additionally, recipients should consult subject matter experts serving on governance bodies such as broadband experts, chief information officers, representatives from utilities, or legal and financial experts when developing proposals.
• The signatory authority for the SAA must certif’ in writing to DHS/FEMA their compliance with the £4fECOA’I Guidance. The certification letter should be coordinated with the SWIC for each state and must he uploaded to ND Grants at the
FY 2019 HSGP NOFO
time of the first Program Performance Report (PPR) submission.
All states and territories must designate a hill-time SWIC who has the authority and resources to actively improve interoperability with emergency management and response agencies across all levels of government, to include establishing statewide plans, policies, and procedures, and coordinating decisions on communications investments funded through federal grants. Note that the designated full-time SWIC may also be the state’s or territory’s cybersecurity point of contact. SWIC status information will be maintained by the DHS Office of Emergency Communications and will be verified by FEMA GPD through programmatic monitoring activities.
By the period of performance end date, all states and territories must update their SCIP, with a focus oivcommunications resilience/continuity, to include assessment and mitigation of all potential risks identified in the SCIP: natural disasters, accidental damage (human failures), intentional damage (sabotage, terrorism), cybersecurity, etc.
Following the initial update, the SCIP should be updated on an annual basis. SCIP status information will be maintained by the DHS Office of Emergency Communications and will be verified by FEMA GPD through programmatic monitoring activities.
All states and territories must test their emergency commtinications capabilities and procedures (as outlined in their operational communications plans) in conjunction with regularly planned exercises (separate/addition emergency communications exercises arc not required) and must submit an After Action Report/Improvement Plan (AAR/IP) to the Homeland Sectirity Exercise and Evaluation Program’s (HSEEP) electronic message inbox at hseepfema.gov within 90 days of exercise completion. Exercises should be used to both demonstrate and validate skills learned in training and to identify gaps in capabilities.
Resilience and continuity of communications should be tested during training and exercises to the greatest extent possible. further, exercises should include participants from multiple jurisdictions, disciplines, and levels of government and include emergency management, emergency medical services, law enforcement, interoperability coordinators, public health officials, hospital officials, officials from colleges and universities, and other disciplines and private sector entities, as appropriate. Findings from exercises should be used to update programs to address gaps in emergency communications as well as emerging technologies, policies, and partners. Recipients are encouraged to increase awareness and availability of emergency communications exercise opportunities across all levels of government.
States, territories, and other eligible grant recipients are advised that HSGP funding may be used to support communications planning (including the cost of hiring a SWIC, participation in governance bodies and requirements delineated above), training, exercises, and equipment costs. Costs for transitioning to the FirstNet network may also be eligible. More information regarding FirstNet can be found in the Preparedness Grants Manual.
funds Transfer Restriction
The recipient is prohibited from transferring funds between programs (includes the SFISP, the UASI, and OPSG). Recipients can submit an investment/project where funds come from multiple funding sources (e.g., the SHSP and UASI), however, recipients are not allowed to divert funding from one program to another due to the risk-based funding allocations, which were made at the
fY 2019 HSGP NOFO
discretion of DHS/FEMA.
Pre-Award Costs
Pre-award costs arc allowable only with the prior written approval of DKS/FEMA and as included in the award agreement. To request pre-award costs, a written request must be included with the application, signed by the Authorized Representative ofthe entity. The letter must outline what the pre-award costs are for, including a detailed budget break-out of pre-award costs from the postaward costs, and a justification for approval.
Cost Principles
Costs charged to this award must be consistent with the Cost Principles for Federal Awards located at 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Subpart E. For more information on 2 C.F.R. Part 200, please refer to FEMA GPD Information Bulletin 400, FEA’L4 s Implementation of2 C. FR.

Travel
FY 2019 HSGP NOFO
Domestic travel costs are allowed under this program, as provided for in this NOFO. International travel is not an allowable cost under this program unless approved in advance by DHS/FEMA.
Construction and Renovation
Construction and renovation costs to achieve capability targets related to preventing, preparing for, protecting against, or responding to acts of terrorism are alLowed under this program. for construction and renovation costs to be allowed, they must be specifically approved by DHS/FEMA in writing prior to the use of any program funds. Applicants must use the EHP approval process. Limits on the total amount of grant funding that may be used for construction or renovation may apply. Additionally, recipients are required to submit Standard form 424C.
Maintenance and Sustainment
Maintenance and Sustainment related costs, such as maintenance contracts, warranties, repair or replacement costs, upgrades, and user fees are allowable as described in F? 205-402-125-1, Maintenance Contracts and Warranty Coverage funded by Preparedness Grants Policy (Ii ltp:/!www. lèma. gov/media-l ibrary/assets/documents/32474).
Management and Administration (M&A) Costs
Management and administration (M&A) activities arc those directly relating to the management and administration of HSGP funds, such as financial management and monitoring. A maximum of up to five percent of HSGP funds awarded may be retained by the state, and any funds retained are to be used solely lbr M&A purposes associated with the HSGP award.
Subrecipients may also retain a maximum of up to 5 percent of the funding passed through by the state solely for M&A purposes associated with the HSGP award.
A state’s HSGP funds for M&A calculation purposes includes the total of its Si-ISP, UASI, and OPSG awards. While the SAA may retain up to 5 percent of this total for M&A, the state must still ensure that all subrecipient award amounts meet the mandatory minimum pass-through requirements that are applicable to each HSGP program. To meet this requirement, the percentage of SHSP and UASI funds passed through to local or tribal jurisdictions must be based on the state’s total HSGP award prior to withholding any M&A.
In retaining these funds, states may retain a maximum of 2.5 percent of the OPSG allocation, which must be withheld from the pass-through to each subrecipient county or tribe in an equal percentage. The SAA may also retain additional funding from its SHSP award to manage and administer the OPSG award, but that additional amount is also capped at an amount equal to
2.5 percent of the OPSG award. Examples applying this principle:
SAA 1:
SHSP: $1,000,000
OPSG: $2,500,000
UASI: $2,500,000
M&A Maximum: $300,000 (5 percent of $6,000,000)
FY 2019 HSGP NOFO
Maximum M&A for SHSP = $50,000
Maximum M&A for OPSG = $125,000. Ofthat amount. $62,500 (2.5 percent) may be retained from the OPSG allocation, and the other $62,500 would come from the SHSP allocation. Any amount used to manage and administer OPSG that is charged to SHSP may be above and beyond the $50,000 available to manage the SI-ISP allocation.
SAA2:
SHSP: $3,500,000
OPSG: $1,000,000
M&A Maximum: $225,000 (5 percent of $4,500,000)
Maximum M&A for SHSP: $175,000
Maximum M&A for OPSG = $50,000. Ofthat amount, $25,000 (2.5 percent) may be retained from the OPSG allocation, and the other $25,000 would come from the SHSP allocation. Any amount used to manage and administer OPSG that is charged to SHSP may be above and beyond the $175,000 available to manage the SHSP allocation.
Please note, Information Bulletin (lB) 365: Management and Administration Costs in the J-lomeland Securiy and DHS/FEMA Policy 207-087-1, which can be found at http://www.iema.gov/library/viewRecord.do?id7837, do not apply to awards made in FY 2019 under this NOFO.

Application Review Information
FY 2019 HSGP NOFO
Allocations
Risk Methodology
The risk methodology determines the relative risk of terrorism faced by a given area considering the potential risk of terrorism to people, critical infrastructure, and economic security. The analysis includes tht-eats from violent domestic extremists, international terrorist groups, and individuals inspired by terrorists abroad. See the Preparedness Grants Manual for additional information on risk methodology.
NOTE: The THIRA/SPR process is separate from the risk methodology, and its results do not affect grant allocations.
SHSP Allocations
FY 2019 SI-ISP funds will bc allocated based on two factors: minimum amounts as legislativcty mandated, and DHS/fEMA’s risk methodology. THIRA/SPR results do not impact grant allocation or award.
Each state and territory wilt receive a minimum allocation under the SHSP using thresholds estab]ished in the Homeland Security Act of2002, as amended. All 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico will receive 0.35 percent of the total funds allocated for grants under Section 2003 and Section 2004 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended. Each of the four territories (American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) will receive a minimum allocation of 0.0$ percent of the total funds allocated for grants under Section 2003 and 2004 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended.
UASI Allocations
FY 2019 UASI funds will be allocated based on DHS/FEMA’s risk methodology. TIIIRA/SPR results do not impact grant allocation or award.
Eligible candidates for the fY 2019 UASI program have been determined through an analysis of relative risk ofterrorism faced by the 100 most populous Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) in the United States, in accordance with the Homeland Security Act of2002, as amended. Detailed information on MSAs is publicly available from the United States Census Bureau at h ttps://www.census.gov/prorams-surveys/metrornicro .htm 1..
OPSG Allocations
The fY 2019 OPSG Risk Assessment is designed to identify the risk to border security and to assist with the distribution of funds for the grant program. Funding under OPSG is distributed based on the risk to the security ofthe border. Entities eligible for funding are the state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies that are located along the border of the United States. The THIRA/SPR process is not required for OPSG.
For the purposes of OPSG, the risk is defined as the potential for an adverse outcome assessed as a function of threats, vulnerabilities, and consequences associated with an incident, event, or occurrence.
FY 2019 HSGP NOFO
Based upon ongoing intelligence analysis and extensive security reviews, DHS/CBP continues to focus the bulk of OPSG funds based upon risk analyses. The risk model used to allocate OPSG funds considers the potential risk that certain threats pose to border security and estimate the relative risk faced by a given area. In evaluating risk, DHS/CBP considers intelligence, situational awareness, criminal trends, and statistical data specific to each of the border sectors, and the potential impacts that these threats pose to the security of the border area. F or vulnerability and consequence, DHS/CBP considers the expected impact and consequences of successful border events occurring in specific areas.
Threat and vulnerability are evaluated based on specific operational data from DHS/CBP.
Threat components present in each ofthe sectors are used to determine the overall threat score.
These components are terrorism, criminat aliens, drug trafficking organizations, and alien smuggling organizations.
Application Evaluation Criteria
FEMA will evaluate the FY 2019 HSGP applications for completeness, adherence to programmatic guidelines, and anticipated effectiveness of the proposed investments. FEMA’s review will include verification that each IJ or project:
• Aligns with at least one core capability identified in the Goal; • Demonstrates how investments support closing capability gaps or sustaining capabilities identified in the THIRA/SPR process; and
• Supports a NIMS-typed resource and whether those assets are deployable/shareable to support emergency or disaster operations per existing EMAC agreements.
In addition to the above, FEMA will evaluate whether proposed projects are: 1) both feasible and effective at reducing the risks for which the project was designed; and 2) able to be fully completed within the three-year PoP. FEMA will use the information provided in the application and after the submission of the first BSIR to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of a grant project. To that end, 1J5 should include:
• An explanation of how the proposed project will achieve objectives as identified in the SPR, including expected long-term impact where applicable, and which core capability gap(s) it helps to close and how;
• A summary ofthe status of planning and design efforts accomplished to date (e.g., included in a capital improvement plan); and
• A project schedule with clear milestones.
Recipients are expected to conform, as applicable, with accepted engineering practices, established codes, standards, modeling techniques, and best practices, and participate in the development of case studies demonstrating the effective use of grant funds, as requested.
Review and Selection Process (SHSP and UASI)
To ensure the effectiveness of proposed investments and projects, all applications will undergo a federal review. The federal review will be conducted by FEMA HQ Program Analysts. FEMA HQ Program Analysts will use a checklist to veri& compliance with all administrative and eligibility criteria identified in the NOFO. Recipients must be able to demonstrate how
FY 2019 HSCP NOFO
investments support closing capability gaps or sustaining capabilities identified in the THIRA!SPR process. us will be reviewed at both the investment and project level. A program hold may be placed on any investment which is foctnd to be noncompliant.
Fusion center investments will be jointly reviewed by FEMA and the DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis (l&A) for compliance with HSGP NOFO requirements to prioritize the alignment of requests with results from the annual Fusion Center Assessment Program. If a fusion center investment does not meet the requirements, a fusion Center Addendum must be completed and submitted for review and approval prior to expending funds allocated to fusion center activities.
Emergency communications investments will be jointly reviewed by FEMA and the DI-IS Office of Emergency Communications (OEC) to verify compliance with SAFECOM guidance. FEMA and OEC will coordinate directly with the recipient on any compliance concerns and will provide technical assistance as necessary to help ensure full compliance.
Review and Selection Process (OPSG)
Applications will be reviewed by the SAA and USBP Sector Headquarters for completeness and adherence to programmatic guidelines and evaluated for anticipated feasibility, need, and impact of the Operations Orders. for more information on Operations Orders and other requirements of OPSG, see the Preparedness Grants Manual.
DHS/FEMA will verify compliance with all administrative and eligibility criteria identified in the NOFO and required submission of Operations Orders and Inventory of Operations Orders by the established due dates. DHS/FEMA and USBP will usc the results of both the risk analysis and the federal review by DHS/FEMA to make recommendations for funding to the Secretary of Homeland Secitrity.
FY 2019 OPSG funds will be allocated competitively based on risk-based prioritization using the OPSG Risk Assessment described above. Final funding allocations are determined by the Secretary, who may consider information and input from various law enforcement offices or subject-matter experts within the Department. Factors considered include, but are not limited to threat, vulnerability, miles ofthe border, and other border-specific law enforcement intelligence, as well as the feasibility of fY 2019 Operations Orders to designated localities within border states and territories.
Financial Integrity Criteria
Prior to making a federal award, DHS/FEMA is required by 31 U.S.C. § 3321 note, 41 U.S.C. § 2313, and 2 C.F.R. § 200.205 to review information available through any 0MB-designated repositories of government-wide eligibility qualification or financial integrity information.
Application evaluation criteria may include the following risk-based considerations of the applicant:
I. Financial stability;
2. Quality of management systems and ability to meet management standards;
3. History olperformance in managing Federal awards;
4. Reports and findings from audits; and
5. Ability to effectively implement statutory, regulatory, or other requirements.

The SAA must pass-through at least 80 percent ofthe funds awarded under the SHSP and UASI to local or tribal units of government within 45 calendar days ofreceipt of the funds. “Receipt of the funds” occurs either when the SAA accepts the award or 15 calendar days after the SAA receives notice of the award, whichever is earlier.
FY 20t9 HSGP NOFO
SAAs are sent notification of HSGP awards via the GPD’s ND Grants system. If an SAA accepts its award within 15 calendar days of receiving notice of the award in the ND Grants system, the 45-calendar days pass-through period will start on the date the SAA accepted the award. Should an SAA not accept the FISGP award within 15 calendar days of receiving notice of the award in the ND Grants system, the 45-calendar days pass-through period will begin 15 calendar days after the award notification is sent to the SAA via the NDGrants system.
It is important to note that the PoP start date does not directly affect the start of the 45-calendar days pass-through period. For example, an SAA may receive notice of the HSGP award on August 20, 2019, while the PoP dates for that award are September 1, 2019, throtigh August 31, 2022. In this example, the 45-day pass-through period will begin on the date the SAA accepts the HSGP award or September 4, 2019 (15 calendar days after the SAA was notified of the award). whichever date occurs first. The PoP start date of September 1, 2019, would not affect the timing of meeting the 45-calendar day pass-through requirement.
Other SHSP and UASI Pass-Through Requirements
The signatory authority of the SAA must certify in writing to DHS/FEMA that pass-through requirements have been met. A letter of intent (or eqttivalent) to distribute funds is not considered sufficient. The pass-through requirement does not apply to SHSP awards made to the District ofColumbia, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is required to comply with the pass-through requirement, and its SAA must also obligate at least 80 percent ofthe funds to local units of government within 45 calendar days of receipt of the funds.
Under SI ISP, the SAA may retain more than 20 percent of funding for expenditures made by the state on behalf of the local unit(s) of government. This may occur only with the written consent ofthe local unit of government, specifying the amount of funds to be retained and the intended use of funds. States shall review their written consent agreements yearly and ensure that they are still valid. If a written consent agreement is already in place from previous fiscal years, DHS/FEMA will continue to recognize it for FY 2019, unless the written consent review indicates the local government is no longer in agreement. If modifications to the existing agreement are necessary, the SAA should contact their assigned FEMA HQ Program Analyst.
Additional OPSG Requirements
The recipient is prohibited from obligating or expending funds provided through this award until each unique and specific county-level or equivalent Operational Order/fragmentary Operations Order budget has been reviewed and approved through an official electronic mail notice issued by DHS/FEMA removing this special programmatic condition.
