CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report
Subiect
Resolution of the City of San Bernardino authorizing a contract between the City of San
Bernardino and California Aviation Services, Inc. (CAS) of Riverside, CA for helicopter patrol
services through FY 2008/09, with two two-year options for renewal. Additionally, to increase
the Purchase Order #300128 for helicopter patrol services in FY 2006/07 by $290,700 to an
amount not to exceed $520,884.
Backl!round
On June 19, 2006, the Mayor and Common Council approved Resolution No. 2006-182,
authorizing a 90-day trial contract between the City of San Bernardino and CAS for helicopter
patrol services. On September 18,2006, the Mayor and Common Council approved Resolution
No. 2006-345, authorizing a 120-day extension of the trial period contract between the City and
CAS for helicopter patrol services.
The goals of this program are to improve officer and public safety, improve the quality of law
enforcement services delivered to the community, reduce response time to critical police calls for
service, and increase the number of "on sight" arrests. Helicopter patrol services commenced on
July 19, 2006, in support of the Operation Phoenix and CITE special enforcement programs.
The second trial period focused on supporting regular patrol operations.
During the two trial contract periods CAS provided one helicopter, four days per week
(averaging 4.5 flight hours per day). Included in the contract were the pilot, maintenance, fuel,
and equipment needed to fly direct air support operations for patrol officers during busy evening
shifts.
Performance measures were established at the start of the first trial contract period and have been
monitored and evaluated throughout both trial periods. Response times, first on scene and
significant events associated with the program are detailed in Exhibit "A".
Based of the success of the trial program, the Police Department is proposing a contract between
the City of San Bernardino and California Aviation Services, Inc. (CAS), of Riverside, CA to .
continue helicopter patrol services through FY 2008/09, with two two-year options for renewals.
Additionally, we request that the Mayor and Common Council approve an exemption from the
bid process (Per Municipal Code 3.04.010(b)(3)). The Police Department further requests
approval to increase Purchase Order #300128 to CAS by $290,700 to an amount not to exceed
$520,884 to continue helicopter patrol services for the remainder of FY 2006/07 (January 19,
2007 to June 30, 2007).
e
e
e
The terms of the contract are as follows:
1.
CAS will provide a fully equipped and staffed helicopter, 5-days-a-week, 5-hours-a-day,
1,320 hours annually to meet the terms of the proposed contract at the fixed hourly rate of
$465.00 per hour of actual flight time. The rate includes the aircraft, the pilot, all fuel
and liquids, and police aviation equipment needed to fly direct support operations for our
patrol officers as well as liability insurance coverage required by the City Attorney's
Office.
2. CAS will base operations, including refueling, for City of San Bernardino flights out of
San Bernardino International Airport so that the air crew will remain in the City.
3. The contract will establish a pooled flight-hours program and will allow flight hours not
used during periods when weather does not allow for safe flight operations to be pooled
for future use. These hours will enable the crews to fly additional hours during busier
months and will expire at the end of each fiscal year if not used.
4. The contract will allow the City to continue flight operations on an annual basis by
issuing a purchase order and to extend the contract for two additional two-year periods at
the current fixed rate.
Financial Imnact
Funding for helicopter patrol services over the life of the contract will be derived from Measure
Z funding. Funding for the period from January 19, 2007 to June 30, 2007 is included in
Account #001-223-5502 in the amended City budget for FY 2006/07.
Recommendation
I. Adopt Resolution.
2. Increase Purchase Order #300128 by $290,700 to an amount not to exceed $520,884 to
fund helicopter patrol services, including insurance expenses provided by CAS for the
contract extension period.
3. Approval of the contract is subject to the City Attorney being satisfied that the necessary
insurance coverage totaling $10,000,000 in aviation liability and property coverage is
continued.

EXHIBIT "A"
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Contractor to Provide:
Helicopter patrol services within the corporate limits of City or as such limits may be modified by
annexation or exclusion during the term of the contract. This service may be extended per the
direction of the Helicopter Patrol Services Administrator or the on-duty watch commander to
outlying regions surrounding the City in extraordinary situations such as pursuits and mutual aid
requests.
A patrol helicopter equipped to perform the law enforcement patrol mission from the air. Helicopter
shall be minimally equipped with a police radio and a searchlight (SX 5 or SX 16). Optional
equipment may include a FUR with monitor and recorder, mapping systems, siren and a public
address system.
The primary helicopter shall have at least (3) seats and be able to cruise at a minimum of 110 knots
with a crew of two persons aboard with two-hour fuel endurance. A substitute helicopter shall be
equipped in the same manner as the primary helicopter unless the Helicopter Patrol Services
Administrator agrees otherwise.
A patrol helicopter that is FAA certified as airworthy under the standard category.
All fixed annual costs and direct operating costs to include: hull and liability insurance, reserves for
enginel major partsl airframe overhauls, fuel, oil, periodic 100-hour inspections, annual inspections,
unscheduled maintenance, scheduled maintenance, hangar and utilities.
A FAA commercially rated, law enforcement pilot (either currently an officer, former officer, reserve
officer, technical reserve officer, retired officer or equivalent experience) on duty at all times during
a patrol shift to fly the helicopter. The equivalent experience shall be subject to the final approval of
the Helicopter Patrol Services Administrator or the Chief's designee prior to acting as pilot in
command. The pilot shall have a current Class 2 medical certificate and be experienced in the
helicopter being flown.
All flight safety equipment for the contract pilot, to include a sage green nomex flight suit with a
leather nameplate, nomex gloves, black leather boots, flashlight, aeronautical charts, logbooks,
kneeboard, flight helmet with microphone and any other gear deemed necessary for safe, FAA legal
flight operations.
The term "flight hours" as used in this contract shall mean actual flight time, and shall specifically
include all time necessary for lift off, departure procedures and travel between helicopter's base and
the CITY.
e
e
e
EXHIBIT "A" (Continued)
Helicopter and all crew and equipment necessary to accommodate the City's 4/10-work schedule (5
days per week, 10 hours per shift and 5 flight hours per shift) from Wednesday through Sunday from
1530 hours until 0130 hours or other days and/or hours as requested by City. Shifts and flight hours
may be altered by the Police Department due to workload shift, special events or weather
consideration. Accrual of flight hours is essential to a long term flight operations program. The City
proposes to pay for a program that includes 1320 hours of flight time that are to be designated as
"Regular Patrol Flight Hours."
A standard shift includes 5 hours of flight time. If the crew is unable to use all of the flight time, the
unused flight hours will be reclassified from "Regular Patrol Flight Hours" (RPFH) to "Accrued
Patrol Flight Hours" (APFH). APFH hours shall accrue during the term of this Agreement and any
extensions thereof. APFH hours are intended to add additional flight dates to the calendar and are
not intended to extend any regular work shift. The City and Contractor shall meet quarterly during
the term of the Agreement to discuss the APFH hours. City and Contractor will use their best efforts
to coordinate the use of the APFf! hours in the subsequent calendar quarters.
The City will coordinate days for use of the APFH hours with the Contractor in advance. For each
extra flight day the Contractor will be allowed to invoice the City for $550.00 to cover additional
pilot flight hours.
In the event that the Helicopter Patrol Services Administrator determines there is a need for
additional patrols or other services, that person shall contact the Contractor to request such services.
If the weather. maintenance or other conditions force less flight hours in any week, the flight hours
may be made up at other times at the discretion of the San Bernardino Police Department. The flight
hours may be made up through additional patrol hours, special flights, and participation in
community relation events and static displays as an example.
Contractor shall plan to conduct periodic 1 OO-hour inspections on non-patrol days (Sunday through
Wednesday morning), so as to not impact patrol services to the City. This is especially significant if
contractor utilizes one helicopter to fulfill the terms of this contract. The City realizes unplanned
maintenance for equipment malfunctions that render the helicopter unairworthy may occur and
impact services to the City for short periods of time. Contractor shall make every effort to minimize
the impact of unforeseen maintenance. Contractor shall plan routine maintenance so services are not
impacted.
Placement of design logo to include the wording "Police" on the helicopter.
Police Department to Provide:
A sworn Police Officer observer to fly in the helicopter as Flight Officer. (Contractor may provide
Police observer upon mutual agreement of both Parties for the short term, or long term contract)
A police radio (control head and transmitter unit, 12 volt) designed for patrol cars if needed, for
mounting in each aircraft necessary for the fulfillment of the contract.
A mobile data terminal or equivalent data device being used by City law enforcement patrol services.
