RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to accept, at no cost to the County, the Meridian Vehicle Barrier Kit and Trailer, with an approximate value of $96,159, from Bay Area Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI)/City and County of San Francisco for the period April 25, 2023 through the life of the equipment.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No direct fiscal impact. There will likely be indirect costs associated for the maintenance and insurance costs from Public Works which is estimated at $49 per month and would covered with existing appropriations from the Sheriff's General Fund budget.

BACKGROUND:

The Bay Area Urban Areas Security Initiative received funding to enhance election security and purchased numerous vehicle barrier systems and trailers. Although the vehicle barrier system's primary purpose is to enhance election security, the barricade system could be deployed in circumstances that necessitate the closing of roads to reduce the risk of mixing heavy pedestrian areas with vehicle traffic. Bay Area UASI offered each county in the operational area at least one vehicle barrier system and trailer at no charge.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Sheriff's Office will not be able to acquire free protective equipment.
