TOPIC: Indirect Cost Allocation Plan and Internal Service Fund Cost Allocation Methodology Services
AGENDA TITLE
Agreement with Cherry Bekaert Advisory LLC for Indirect Cost Allocation Plan and Internal Service Fund Cost Allocation Methodology Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Cherry Bekaert Advisory LLC for Indirect Cost Allocation Plan and Internal Service Fund Cost Allocation Methodology Services for a total aggregate amount not to exceed $150,000 for a three-year term beginning August 20, 2024 and expiring August 19, 2027, with a provision for a twoyear extension (Agreement No. A-2024-XXX).
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes
DISCUSSION
The Finance and Management Services Agency (FMSA) oversees the comprehensive cost allocation process, which includes the Indirect Cost Allocation Plan and Internal Service Fund Cost Allocation. The primary purpose of these cost allocation plans is to ensure that the City’s method of identifying and distributing indirect costs and internal service costs is fair, comprehensive, well-documented, and defensible. These cost allocation plans are used for the budget development process and to recover costs through charges to restricted funding sources. In addition, due to the increased scrutiny from state and federal agencies, staff recommends to continue using experienced firms for these services to remain compliant with applicable laws and regulations.
The proposed services include two primary components: an Indirect Cost Allocation Plan (Indirect Costs) and an Internal Service Funds Cost Allocation Methodology. The Indirect Cost Allocation Plan aims to recover the General Fund’s overhead costs of providing indirect support services to operating departments and programs. The Internal Service Funds Cost Allocation Methodology aims to develop a full cost allocation methodology to recover annual operating costs of internal service funds from interagency customers.

AGENDA TITLE
Agreement with Siemens Industry, Inc. for the Main Library and Outdoor Library at Jerome Park Projects (General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Siemens Industry, Inc. for equipment, licenses, construction oversight of security camera installation, and integration into the City network for the Main Library Renovation and Outdoor Library at Jerome Park projects, in the amount of $64,200, with a 10% contingency, for a total not to exceed amount of $70,620, for a term expiring December 31, 2026, with a provision for a one-year extension (Agreement No. A- 2024-XXX).
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes
DISCUSSION
Ensuring safe, equitable, and accessible facilities is an important part of providing Library Services to the community. Therefore, included in the scope of work for the Main Library Transformation and Outdoor Library at Jerome Park projects, contractors will procure and install security camera systems. While the contractors will handle the installation of the cameras, Siemens, as the City’s primary security systems vendor, will be required to configure the camera system to ensure continuity and proper integration with the City’s existing security platform.
Siemens will provide the Library with both an on-site server and uninterruptible power supply that will integrate with the City’s current camera system and allow continuous recording of the Main Library’s 28 cameras and the Outdoor Library’s single camera.
Siemens will also provide Milestone device licenses for the cameras that will integrate into the City’s current system. Further, Siemens will assist with construction oversight of the camera installations as needed to ensure the new security systems are installed to the City’s specifications and standards.
The Santa Ana Police Department currently has a master agreement with Siemens for on-going, citywide video surveillance system maintenance, repair, and installation City Council 20 – 1 8/20/2024

RFP No. 20-053 meets this requirement.
Construction of the Main Library Transformation Project and Outdoor Library at Jerome Park are anticipated to be completed in March 2026 and March 2025, respectively.

Other Insurance Provisions
The insurance policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:

DISCUSSION
On April 19, 2022, the City entered into an Agreement with Group 4 Architecture, Research + Planning Inc. for design and engineering services for the Main Library Renovation Project.

The Main Library building consists of 39,790 square feet and has two floors and a below-grade basement. Additional improvements will include, but are not limited to, hazardous material removal, demolition, repair and restoration of exterior marble façade, addition of an accessible elevator, repair and revitalization of northfacing windows, a full historic restoration of interior spaces, mechanical improvements, plumbing improvements, electrical improvements, low-voltage, communications, and electrical security.
The amendment includes additional compensation for the following:
• Additional historical restoration support services due to the complexity of the exterior marble restoration and other historic building features.

2. Section 2.a., Compensation, is hereby amended to include Exhibit D-1 of this First Amendment. The compensation for services provided is increased by $499,383 for a total Agreement amount not to exceed $2,657,948.

TOPIC: Jail Security and Control System Upgrade Consulting Services
AGENDA TITLE
Agreement with Pennell Consulting, Inc. for Jail Security Control System Upgrade Consulting Services (General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Pennell Consulting, Inc. to provide consulting, system design, and project management services to the City of Santa Ana Police Department Jail for a three-year term beginning August 20, 2024 and ending August 19, 2027, with two one-year extension options, in an amount not to exceed $193,184 (Agreement No. A-2024-XXX).
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes
DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Police Department Jail (SAJ) is a 502-bed, direct supervision correctional facility designed and constructed from 1996-1997. As with any correctional facility, the security control system plays a significant role in its safe operation. This system controls door locks, intercoms, sallyports, facility water and lighting, and elevators. It must seamlessly integrate with emergency alarms, fire detection devices, digital video surveillance, and other related systems.
Since its original design in 1996, the security controls system at SAJ has remained largely unchanged. Incremental improvements have been made to support continued functionality, but the control hardware has not been significantly upgraded since it was first installed. Due to the system's age, many components are obsolete and difficult to maintain or replace.
On September 12, 2023, the Police Department and the Public Works Agency released Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 23-140, seeking consulting and project management services from firms with the specialized expertise necessary to assist the City in planning and designing a contemporary security control system for SAJ. This project City Council 22 – 1 8/20/2024
Jail Security and Control System Upgrade Consulting Services August 20, 2024
phase consists of a focused system inspection and needs assessment, replacement system design and specification, assistance with the creation and review of the RFP for the construction phase, and project management services through the end of construction and acceptance.
The RFP was advertised on the City’s online procurement management and publication system, with Proposals due on October 10, 2023. Three proposals were received and evaluated by a selection committee. Based on the criteria outlined in the RFP, the following summarizes the top three responding firms and their ranking:
Firm City Rank
Pennell Consulting, Inc. Lakewood 1
Guidepost Solutions LLC Los Angeles 2
P2S Inc. Long Beach 3
Staff recommends awarding an agreement (Exhibit 2) to Pennell Consulting, Inc. to provide consulting, system design, and project management services based on the scope of work and selection criteria outlined in RFP 23-140. Their proposal demonstrated the firm has the necessary capacity and expertise to complete the required services. The firm’s rates are reasonable and within industry standards, the team qualifications are appropriate for this project, and the proposal was determined to provide the best value for the City.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding will be available in the FY 2024-25 budget upon City Council approval of carryforward from FY 2023-24. Funding for subsequent fiscal years will be included in the proposed budgets for City Council consideration as follows:

new that has been discovered in a final presentation prior to creating the construction RFP documents. (Deliverable 5)
Updated project costs and project schedule are included with each submittal (Deliverable 3). Stakeholder review meetings are held for each DD and CD submittal.
Project Procurement: We will support the Santa Ana City staff with the tasks identified in the consultant RFP. We can support procurement via on-line meetings, in person with our local staff, or both.
Construction Scope of Work and rating criteria: Using our team’s many years of experience with this type of work, we will collaborate with City staff to review, propose, and develop a comprehensive, coordinated, and constructible, construction RFP.
Our team will maintain no contact with any potential vendors.
Construction Phase: We will support the Santa Ana City staff with the tasks identified in the consultant RFP. Our extensive experience in both project and construction management will complement and support the City staff where needed. Our local presence provides us with the ability to physically respond on-site same day if necessary to assist in the resolution of issues.
We will respond to RFI’s, product data, shop drawing, and substitution (when permitted) submittals, pay requests, and change orders. Each document is carefully reviewed and responded to.
Site observations and well documented contractor progress meetings lead to successful projects and litigation prevention. We will participate in progress meetings but can also lead and document them. This is a highly technical project of which it is extremely difficult for non-technical people to lead or document. We are well versed in performing these tasks.
Substantial and Final Completion requirements must be clearly stated and defined in the construction RFP documents. Once well defined, it is much easier to determine if the requirements have been met for both.
Accurate Record Documents are typically difficult to obtain. Our technique is to specify that red-lined or updated as-built documents are submitted on a periodic basis in exchange for progress payments for this task.
Post construction warrantee site visit is an excellent way to verify contract compliance and determine if extended warranty RFP should be issued.

AGENDA TITLE
Agreement with PowerDMS for Field Training Management Software and Community Engagement Software (General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with PowerDMS (Agreement No.
A-2024-XXX) for software subscriptions as follows:
• One-year subscription to PowerReady for field training software in an amount not to exceed $8,074 for the period of March 28, 2025 through March 27, 2026 • Two-year subscription to PowerEngage for citizen engagement software in an amount not to exceed $59,375 for the period of September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2026
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes
DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Police Department (SAPD) utilizes a variety of technology software solutions to leverage resources and provide exceptional police services to the community. One such software used by the Training Division to manage the Field Training Officer (FTO) program is PowerReady (formerly Agency360).
The Department began using the Agency360 software in 2019 to automate recruit onboarding, centralize and standardize the field training records, and assess the trainer’s effectiveness. This cloud-based software provides real-time dashboards and reports to enable thorough analyses of the department’s FTO program and the readiness of new police officers. Additionally, the software provides immediate access to training aids, which support effective training and mentoring of new officers. In 2022, Agency360 was acquired by NEOGOV via its subsidiary platform, PowerDMS. The field training solution has since been rebranded and is now called PowerReady.
In March 2024, a purchase order and payment was issued to PowerDMS for the current one-year subscription to the PowerReady software in the amount of $5,029. SAPD City Council 23 – 1 8/20/2024
Field Training Management and Community Engagement Software August 20, 2024
would like to continue using the PowerReady software for another one-year period once the current subscription expires in March 2025, extending the subscription to March 2026.
SAPD’s Communications Division plays a critical role in the Department's efforts to provide police services with integrity, respect, and compassion. With an average of 10,000 calls for service dispatched every month, most police interactions originate in the Communications Division and set the stage for public perception of services provided. A critical function of the Communications Division is to ensure a high level of customer service to our citizens by keeping them informed about the status of their calls.
PowerEngage by PowerDMS is the complete citizen engagement software and feedback solution for law enforcement and emergency communications. It keeps citizens informed, measures community satisfaction, and boosts morale with one automated solution. The software sends automated text messages to callers to keep them informed about their call while providing information such as the nature of their call, their incident number, and the date and time they called. PowerEngage generates text messages when a call for service is pending for an extended period of time (longer than 60 minutes). The message will update the caller on the status of their call, such as when an officer has been dispatched and is en route. Once the call is closed, PowerEngage can automatically send a text message asking the caller for feedback on their interaction with the Police Department using their survey tool. The survey tool can help improve services, identify department deficiencies, and receive positive reinforcement from the community.
In researching for an automated text message and survey software platform, only two companies were identified that offered this type of product. PowerEngage was the most cost-effective option for a two-year agreement. This software system will require interface with the computer-aided dispatch (CAD) and records management system (RMS). Therefore, complete implementation of this system may take four months. Upon conclusion of the agreement, staff will evaluate the effectiveness of PowerEngage and analyze the outcomes. If the software platform is successful, a new procurement will be conducted to ensure best value for the community. Funding for this platform was approved by City Council as a recurring addition to the annual budget.

DISCUSSION
In 2010, the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) and the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) launched the Enhanced Collaborative Model Task Force to Combat Human Trafficking Program to help communities develop multidisciplinary task forces that employ victim-centered approaches to identify survivors, provide services, and investigate and prosecute all forms of human trafficking. Since then, the OVC has become the largest federal funder of anti-trafficking programs in the United States.
The Anaheim Police Department applied for the FY 2023 Enhanced Collaborative Model Task Force to Combat Human Trafficking Grant with the California Highway Patrol, Irvine Police Department, and Santa Ana Police Department as partners in the City Council 24 – 1 8/20/2024
FY 2023 Enhanced Collaborative Model Task Force to Combat Human Trafficking Grant August 20, 2024
Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force (OCHTTF). The Anaheim Police Department has been awarded $750,000 and the Santa Ana Police Department has been allocated a subaward in the amount of $75,000 as a sub-recipient under this grant.
The grant is anticipated to continue to fund the OCHTTF from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026. The OCHTTF is a partnership between the Anaheim Police Department, the Santa Ana Police Department, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office, Waymakers (lead victim service-providing agency), and other local and federal agencies.
The collaborative partnership between the Anaheim Police Department and the Santa Ana Police Department will address the following four areas: partnership, protection, prosecution, and prevention. The purpose of the OCHTTF is to work together to protect victims, prosecute offenders, and prevent further human trafficking in Orange County.
The grant will provide funding to reimburse the Santa Ana Police Department’s participation in the OCHTTF for any overtime work and travel expenses for the detective assigned to the OCHTTF for any qualifying training and conferences.
The Memorandum of Understanding from the Anaheim Police Department inadvertently omitted the grant amount to be subawarded to the Santa Ana Police Department (Exhibit 1). The First Amendment specifies the amount of the subaward as $75,000 and also provides the federal grant requirements associated with this subaward (Exhibit 2).

February 2024
Introduction:
Human trafficking in California is an unsavory reality, impacted by a foreign border, international airports, substantial shipping harbors, an internationally active entertainment industry, and the popularity of U.S. tourism to the state. As the third largest county in California and the sixth largest in the nation, Orange County celebrates a diverse population of over three million, with over 42 million visitors per year per the Orange County Visitors Association. Orange County contains numerous unincorporated areas and 34 cities; including the County Seat, Santa Ana, which has the sixth largest Spanish-speaking population in the nation. Orange County is a prime target for traffickers given the population density, the perceived affluence of residents, robust tourism and convention industry, along with its nationally recognized beaches, theme parks and home to world champion professional sports teams.
Orange County has a multidisciplinary, anti-human trafficking model designed to combat human trafficking through identification, rescue and assisting victims of all forms of human trafficking. 1 The duration of this MOU will encompass the entire
FY23 Enhanced Collaborative Model TaskForce to Combat Human Trafficking project funding cycle, anticipated to occur throughout 10/01/2023 - 09/30/2026.
EXHIBIT 1
City Council 24 – 4 8/20/2024
The Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force (OCHTTF) is a model program relying on a public-private sector and non-profit partnership including the Anaheim Police Department (APD) as the lead law enforcement agency; the Orange County District Attorney's Office, which, provides both misdemeanor and felony case vertical prosecution through its Human Exploitation and Trafficking Unit (HEAT); and Waymakers as the lead victim service-providing agency. The Task Force is strengthened by partnerships with federal, state and local agencies, and supported by many additional private sector and non-profit organizations.
Orange County is a unique model of true collaborative efforts. The OCHTTF has fostered rich partnerships which have empowered law enforcement agencies to work across jurisdictions to ensure successful identification and rescue of human trafficking victims and the eventual prosecution of trafficking perpetrators.
Scope of Collaborative Relationships:
The collaborative partnership between APD and the Santa Ana Police Department (SAPD) will address the four pillars of the task force goal: partnership, protection, prosecution and prevention.
The OCHTTF is a collaboration of law enforcement agencies, non-governmental organizations, faith-based organizations, and the community. The purpose of the OCHTTF is to work together to protect victims, prosecute offenders, and prevent further perpetration of this crime in Orange County, CA. The overall goal of the OCHTTF is to eliminate human trafficking in Orange County, California. This task force has made a tremendous impact in addressing all types of human trafficking cases. However, the success of the OCHTTF has highlighted the need to expand this comprehensive and multi-disciplinary approach in the battle against human trafficking. Hence, APD and SAPD are working closely together to combat human trafficking in Orange County by 2 The duration of this MOU will encompass the entire
FY 23 Enhanced Collaborative Model Task Force to Combat Human Trafficking project funding cycle, anticipated to occur throughout 10/01/2023 - 09/30/2026.
City Council 24 – 5 8/20/2024
focusing on three core objectives: identifying and quantifying the scope of the problem in Orange County; investigating suspected incidents vigorously and effectively in order to secure the appropriate criminal convictions for those responsible; and collaborating with local agency patterns within law enforcement, county and state government, and non-govemmental service providers to ensure the victims of these crimes receive the wrap-around services they need to rebuild their lives and avoid future victimization.
Period of Performance:
The term of this MOU shall commence upon its execution by the parties. The initial term of this MOU shall expire on September 30, 2026, unless otherwise terminated by the parties as provided herein. This MOU may be renewed on the same terms and conditions and upon mutual written agreement among the parties based on written notification from the Anaheim Police Department.
Human Trafficking Investigations
Anaheim Police acknowledges human trafficking investigations are very complex and time consuming. Like many other types of complex investigations, it takes time for investigators to build the skills and experience necessary to work human trafficking cases at an optimal level. This experience is never more needed than when investigating human trafficking of minors given, they have the potential to be life cases. With this in mind, APD requests SAPD to consider personnel who are open to a minimum of a two-year commitment to the task force. In this way, the task force benefits greatly from a reasonable term commitment and SAPD in turn gains a more experienced investigator upon completion of the assignment.

Office for Civil Rights Notice for All Recipients
The Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has been delegated the responsibility for ensuring that recipients of federal financial assistance from the OJP, the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), and the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) are not engaged in discrimination prohibited by law. Several federal civil rights laws, such as Title Vl of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, require recipients of federal financial assistance to give assurances that ey will comply with those laws. Taken together, these civil rights laws prohibit recipients of federal financial assistance from DOJ from discriminating in services and employment because or race, color, national origin, religion, disability, sex, and, for grants authorized under the Violence Against Women Act, sexual orientation and gender identity. Recipients are also prohibited from discriminating in services because of age. For a complete review of these civil rights laws and nondiscrimination requirements, in connection with DOJ awards, see https://ojp.gov/funding/ Explore/LegalOverview/CivilRightsRequirements.htm.
Under the delegation of authority, the OCR investigates allegations of discrimination against recipients from individuals, entities, or groups. In addition, the OCR conducts limited compliance reviews and audits based on regulatory criteria.
Page:2 of 22
City Council 24 – 20 8/20/2024
reviews and audits permit the OCR to evaluate whether recipients of financial assistance from the Department are providing services in a nondiscriminatory manner to their service population or have employment practices that meet equal-opportunity standards.
If you are a recipient of grant awards under the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act or the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act and your agency is part of a criminal justice system, there are two additional obligations that may apply in connection with the awards: (1) complying with the regulation relating to Equal Employment Opportunity Programs (EEOPs); and (2) submitting findings of discrimination to OCR. For additional information regarding the EEOP requirement, see 28 CFR Part 42, subpart E, and for additional information regarding requirements when there is an adverse finding, see 28 C.F.R. §§ 42.204(c),.205(c%5).
OCR is available to help you and your organization meet the civil rights requirements that are associated with DOJ grant funding. If you would like the OCR to assist you in fulfilling your organization's civil rights or nondiscrimination responsibilities as a recipient of federal financial assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the OCR at [email protected].

OJP - Categorical Exclusion
NEPA Letter
The purpose or this program is to develop, expand, or strengthen a multidisciplinary approach to better respond to human trafficking. This collaborative approach must include victim and social service providers, law enforcement, prosecution personnel, individuals with lived experience, and a range of other governmental and non-governmental partners that work together to provide access to a diverse set of services for trafficking victims and to seek justice on their behalf.
None of the following activities will be conducted whether under the Office of Justice Programs federal action or a related third party action:
(1 ) New construction
(2) Any renovation or remodeling of a property located in an environmentally or historically sensitive area, including property (a) listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, or (b) located within a 1 00-year flood plain, a wetland, or habitat for an endangered species (3) A renovation that will change the basic prior use of a facility or significantly change its size (4) Research and technology whose anticipated and future application could be expected to have an effect on the environment
(5) Implementation of a program involving the use of chemicals (including the identification, seizure, or closure of clandestine methamphetamine laboratories)
ditionally, the proposed action is neither a phase nor a segment of a project that when reviewed in its entirety would not meet the criteria for a categorical exclusion.
Consequently, the subject federal action meets the Office of Justice Programs' criteria for a categorical exclusion as contained in paragraph 4(b) of Appendix D to Part 61 of Title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
Questions about this determination may be directed to your grant manager or Environmental Coordinator for the Office for Victims of Crime.
