DISCUSSION The FY2008 UASI grant program for the Los Angeles/Long Beach area is administered by the City of Los Angeles. Earlier this year, the performance deadline for the FY2008 grant was extended to October 31, This deadline extension allows the region more time to complete authorized projects.

Under the FY2008 UASI grant program, the City has been awarded a $15,000 grant for the purchase of uninterruptible power supplies and related equipment. In the event of a power outage in the region, this equipment will strengthen the resiliency of the City s public safety interoperable radio system by providing backup power. Additionally, the City s network will be able to remotely monitor this equipment to determine if any change in the status of the power supply has occurred. The UPS equipment has an estimated life expectancy of approximately 5 years. Public Works will collect Internal Service Funds to cover the replacement cost for the equipment at the end of its lifecycle. FISCAL IMPACT The cost for the uninterruptible power supplies and related equipment is estimated to total $15,000. The City will be reimbursed by the City of Los Angeles for authorized grant expenditures. ~~. Scott G. Miller, Director Finance Approval fl~ no Page 2 of 2 8/11/2011
