This is a 2024 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) Expenditure Plan for Solano County, California, detailing funding allocations across multiple county agencies and the Office of Emergency Services. The plan allocates $448,956 in total grant funding across various emergency response initiatives, with the Sheriff's Office receiving the largest allocation at $313,658. Specific equipment and services funded include hazardous materials team training, cellular camera equipment, automatic license plate reader systems, sandbag machines, interoperable communications equipment, response team personal protective equipment, access control camera systems, and staffing positions. The expenditure plan supports a competitive procurement for low-light amplification and night vision devices, specifically 8 units each of Articulating Ruggedized Night Vision Goggles (ARNVG) with Gen 3 L3 18UM White Phosphor, MAWL-DA Modular Advanced Weapon Lasers, and Wilcox G24 Black Night Vision Goggle Mounts. The Invitation for Bids (IFB) #625-0909-26 was released on September 15, 2025, with bid responses due October 15, 2025, at 5:00 pm, contract selection scheduled for November 3, 2025, and deliveries requested by January 1, 2026.

The county will award the contract as a firm fixed-price purchase order to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with potential splitting of awards among multiple vendors. Bidders must maintain an active vendor application with the county and submit proposals electronically through the OpenGov Solano County Portal, including product warranties, specification sheets, and compliance documentation with federal and state regulations. Market pricing for similar equipment is demonstrated by a sample quote of $248,256.00, with industry standards including warranties of approximately 10 years and 3-year service plans. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned. The procurement is funded entirely through the 2024 HSGP allocation, with the county reserving the right to evaluate bids based on compliance with non-discrimination, drug-free workplace, and debarment certifications, and considering integration requirements with existing emergency response infrastructure and communication systems.
