Bicycle Safety Grant Funding Recognition and Professional Services Agreement October 18, 2022
through a series of safety education workshops and events. The goal of the program is to reduce the number of deaths and injuries in traffic collisions involving bicycles and pedestrians.
The bilingual education program is intended to reach a wide cross-section of community members. It will include a series of comprehensive workshops consisting of educating adults about traffic safety and educating youth about bicycle safety and maintenance. At the end of the adult series, community members will recommend improvements to the Public Works Agency to guide the pursuit of future grant funds. At the end of the youth series, community youth will earn a bicycle, which they repaired and maintained during the course of the classes.
The Program includes the following:
• Family-friendly bicycle safety skills classes taught by the League of American Bicyclists Certified Instructors
• Access to nighttime lights and helmets distributed to the community during safety equipment events targeting pedestrians and bicyclists
• Equipment demonstration events
• Youth pedestrian and bicycle traffic safety fairs at community events All tasks outlined in the Program’s scope of work will be delivered directly by SAAS and will be paid by SAAS’s fiscal agent Charitable Ventures of Orange County, Inc. (Exhibit 2) utilizing the Office of Traffic Safety grant award.

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
With a population of just under 330,000, the City of Santa Ana is one of the 14 highest population cities in the state of California. The city is approximately 27.1 square miles and has a large volume of motor vehicle traffic, with the arterials carrying 30,000 to 40,000 vehicles per day. There are also 4 freeways that converge within the city and a total of 450 miles of streets.
The City of Santa Ana has a mobility challenge in the community. An analysis of census data that was part of the City's Vision Zero Plan (comparing household size with the number of automobiles per household) showed that 55 percent of Santa Ana's residents do not have access to an automobile. To meet this demand, the City of Santa Ana has been working on developing an ever-expanding bicycle and pedestrian network. In addition, Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) bus transit ridership is among the highest in Orange County, with 55 of the 100 busiest bus stops in Orange County within the City of Santa Ana, alone. The city also has a young median age of 29.7 years, and 28 percent of the residents are below 18 years of age.
Relative income levels and vehicle ownership within the city are significantly lower than the statewide average. The population’s median age is also the youngest of the 7 largest cities in Orange County, and residential density is one of the highest in the state. Transit ridership in Santa Ana is the highest in the county, with several of the busiest OCTA bus lines serving the City. As a result of climate and demographics, the bicycle-dependent population is relatively high when compared to other communities in the county or the state. Also, a significant portion of the city's adult bicyclists may not speak English or understand the rules of the road.
This Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program aims to increase awareness to ultimately reduce the amount of pedestrian- and bicyclist-related crashes in the city, especially for children walking to and from school.
Having been identified as a Federal Highway Administration Focus City, there is an urgent need to make immediate changes in the City of Santa Ana to improve traffic safety for all residents. For this reason, this project is a priority, especially the community.

The following requirements are for all grant-related activities:
Send all media advisories, alerts, videos, graphics, artwork, posters, radio/PSA/video scripts, storyboards, digital and/or print educational materials for grant-related activities to the OTS PIO at [email protected] for approval and copy your OTS coordinator. Optimum lead time would be 7 days before the scheduled release but at least 3 business days prior to the scheduled release date for review and approval is appreciated.
The OTS PIO is responsible for the approval of the design and content of materials. The agency understands OTS PIO approval is not authorizing approval of budget expenditure or cost. Any cost approvals must come from the Coordinator.
Pre-approval is not required when using any OTS-supplied template for media advisories, press releases, social media graphics, videos or posts, or any other OTS-supplied educational material.
However, copy the OTS PIO at [email protected] and your OTS coordinator when any material is distributed to the media and public, such as a press release, educational material, or link to social media post. The OTS-supplied kick-off press release templates and any kickoff press releases are an exception to this policy and require prior approval before distribution to the media and public.
If an OTS-supplied template, educational material, social media graphic, post or video is substantially changed, the changes shall be sent to the OTS PIO at [email protected] for approval and copy to your OTS Coordinator. Optimum lead time would be 7 days prior to the scheduled release date, but at least 3 business days prior to the scheduled release date for review and approval is appreciated.
Press releases, social media posts and alerts on platforms such as NextDoor and Nixle reporting immediate and time-sensitive grant activities (e.g. enforcement operations, day of event highlights or announcements, event invites) are exempt from the OTS PIO approval process. The OTS PIO and your Coordinator should still be notified when the grant-related activity is happening (e.g. car seat checks, bicycle rodeos, community presentations, DUI checkpoints, etc.).
Enforcement activities such as warrant and probation sweeps, court stings, etc. that are embargoed or could impact operations by publicizing in advance are exempt from the PIO approval process. However, announcements and results of activities should still be copied to the OTS PIO at [email protected] and your Coordinator with embargoed date and time or with “INTERNAL ONLY: DO NOT RELEASE” message in subject line of email. Any earned or paid media campaigns for TV, radio, digital or social media that are part of a specific grant objective, using OTS grant funds, or designed and developed using contractual services by a subgrantee, requires prior approval. Please send to the OTS PIO at [email protected] for approval and copy your grant coordinator at least 3 business days prior to the scheduled release date.
Social media posts highlighting state or national traffic safety campaigns (Distracted Driving Month, Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, etc.), enforcement operations (DUI checkpoints, etc.), or any other grant-related activity such as Bicycle rodeos, presentations, or events, are highly encouraged but do not require prior approval.
Submit a draft or rough-cut of all digital, printed, recorded or video material (brochures, posters, scripts, artwork, trailer graphics, digital graphics, social posts connected to an earned or paid media campaign grant objective) to the OTS PIO at [email protected] and copy your OTS Coordinator for approval prior to the production or duplication. Use the following standard language in all press, media, and printed materials, space permitting:
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Space permitting, include the OTS logo on all grant-funded print materials, graphics and paid or earned social media campaign grant objective; consult your OTS Coordinator for specifics, format-appropriate logos, or if space does not permit the use of the OTS logo. Email the OTS PIO at [email protected] and copy your OTS Coordinator at least 21 days in advance, or when first confirmed, a short description of any significant grant-related traffic safety event or program, particularly events that are highly publicized beforehand with anticipated media coverage so OTS has sufficient notice to arrange for attendance and/or participation in the event.

Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Lyons Security Services, Inc. to provide unarmed and armed security guard services at various City sites, in an amount not to exceed $18,042,746, which includes a contingency of $3,007,125, for a three-year term beginning November 1, 2022 and expiring October 31, 2025, with an option for two, one-year extensions, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and the City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
In an effort to provide a safe environment for the public and City staff, the City maintains contracted security guard services at the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC), City Hall, Main Library, Newhope Library, City Yard, Santa Ana Zoo at Prentice Park, WORK Center, Garthe Water Station, South Water Station, various park sites, and Park Patrol. The current contract for security guard services expires on November 30, 2022.
On February 9, 2022, the Public Works Agency released Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 22-026, seeking the services of qualified firms to provide armed and unarmed security guard services. To continue providing a safe environment for the public, the City enhanced the existing scope of security guard services by adding armed guard services at certain locations. At this time, SARTC, City Hall and the Park Patrol will have an armed supervisor for these assignments. The City has the discretion to add armed guard services in other locations, as needed. In an effort to retain a consistent security team for the duration of the agreement, an annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase will take effect on July 1.

DISCUSSION
Warner Avenue is classified as an East-West Major Arterial in the City’s General Plan Circulation Element and the County of Orange Master Plan of Arterial Highways.
Improving the one-mile segment of Warner Avenue from Main Street to Wright Street has been a long-term priority project that is being constructed in several phases.
Improvements include widening the street from a four-lane roadway to a six-lane arterial, to address safety issues and provide adequate vehicular capacity. Also included in the project is the installation of parkways, raised median landscaping, storm drains, protected bike lanes, sound walls, street lights, and traffic signals. The City is acquiring properties for the development of Phase 2 of the Warner Avenue Improvements Project, bounded by Oak Street and Grand Avenue. Construction is anticipated to begin in Spring 2023.
The proposed improvements for the Project originated as a mitigation measure for the Tustin Legacy Project, which involves the redevelopment of the former Tustin Marine Corps Air Station as a mixed-use commercial, residential, and industrial project. As such, the City of City Council 15 – 1 10/18/2022
