This is a Board of Supervisors meeting minute order from Solano County, California, documenting the adoption of Resolution No. 2024-198 authorizing participation in the 2024 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) for the period September 1, 2024 through May 31, 2027. The resolution approves the county's grant expenditure plan and authorizes the Sheriff, Undersheriff, Director of Administrative Services, or Emergency Services Manager to execute all necessary grant-related documents and service contracts. The procurement includes fixed asset purchases totaling $247,098 for multiple equipment categories: an automatic sandbag machine, an access control camera system, portable cellular cameras, light amplification and night vision devices, and interoperable communications equipment. The county also approved $135,298 for Solano Operational Area joint-agency response teams and non-county agencies designated for training and equipment and protective gear purchases. The grant term extends for approximately 32 months from the September 2024 start date through May 2027.

The total 2024 HSGP grant allocation recognized by the county is $448,956 in unanticipated grant revenue, which is offset by approved grant expenditures. The resolution requires a four-fifths vote for the Appropriation Transfer Request and grants broad authority to county officials to manage contract administration and modifications throughout the grant period. No specific incumbent vendors, set-asides, or bidding deadlines are detailed in this minute order; however, the related competitive procurement for night vision devices through Invitation for Bids #625-0909-26 references a bid release date of September 15, 2025, with responses due October 15, 2025, and contract selection set for November 3, 2025, with deliveries requested by January 1, 2026. The funding is entirely federal through the HSGP with no local matching funds indicated.
