PROGRAM NARRATIVE
PROJECT ABSTRACT. This project provides the Police Department with partial funding for a
command vehicle, as well as funding for electronic control devices, and personal protective gear
to provide police officer with additional tools to manage large-scale incidents, response to
resistance or aggression, and protect officers responding to incidents in hazardous environments.
PROBLEM STATEMENT. The City of Round Rock's Police Department has a critical need for
equipment used by officers to fight and prevent crime, including gang and drug-related activities,
routine criminal investigations, security surveillance, and large-scale emergency response.
GOALS, OBJECTIVES, PERFORMANCE MEASURES. The project will:
1. Provide $116,341 toward the purchase of a Public Safety Command Vehicle. The
command vehicle will enhance and improve on-site incident management capabilities and
support the five Regional Type -2 SWAT Teams, 35 LE Strike Teams, Type -3 Incident
Management Teams (IMT) and CBRNE1 Response Teams in Texas.
The vehicle will provide incident command with advanced capabilities and situational
awareness. It will respond to all -hazards incidents in the Urban Area and beyond as
needed, and will support pre -planned events, regional training, and exercises. The
command vehicle will provide redundant, interoperable communications capabilities,
including voice, data, wireless -mesh video and satellite capabilities. This vehicle can be
rapidly deployed to respond to and manage emergency incidents within the Urban Area,
and through mutual aid agreement, will reach areas within and outside the State of Texas.
The 38 -foot vehicle has the capacity to fully support 17 seated positions in a climate -
controlled environment.
The total cost of this vehicle will be $420,000 — of which $304,000 is being funded by a
grant through the federal Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) program. The balance of
the funds necessary for the vehicle's technology elements — wireless and satellite
connectivity and other technology — to complete this project would be funded by this
Congressionally Selected Award. Cost: $116,341.
2. Fund the initial deployment of TASER electronic control devices to 85 field officers.
This deployment would provide field officers with another tool for less -lethal response to
resistance or aggression. Every field officer and sergeant in the Department will receive
an electronic control, cartridges, and holsters. Cost: $86,314
1 Chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high -yield explosives
3. Fund protective gear for field officers responding in hazardous environments. Personal
protective gear includes air -purifying respirators (APR), CBRN suits, and related
footwear. Cost: $97,345.
Thus, this project would provide the Police Department with additional tools to manage large-
scale incidents, response to resistance or aggression, and protect officers responding to incidents
in hazardous environments.
The City of Round Rock understands that it must provide data measuring the results of this
project. To that end, the Police Department proposes the follow set of performance measures
associated with this project:

PROJECT DESIGN. The City will purchase the equipment and supplies using normal
procurement rules that adhere to state and federal requirements. Once acquired, the Police
Department will provide the necessary training and place the equipment and supplies into
service. As the command vehicle will be a regional asset within the State of Texas, a set of
milestones already is established for that element of the project — the major components of which
are outlined above. Training for electronic control devices and personal protective gear will be
provided by the Police Department. Pre -planned deployments will be built into the Department's
normal training regime in-house and in coordination with regional exercises. The placement in
service and deployment of electronic control devices will be captured as part of the Department's
existing system to report and monitor police response to resistance or aggression.
Acquisition of the equipment and supplies is anticipated to be completed during the first year of
the project. By the end of the project's second year, all training and deployment will have been
conducted.
MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY. The Police Department's Logistics
and Research Unit will be responsible for the acquisition of the equipment and supplies outlined
in this project. This unit of the Department employs two logistics officers supervised by an
administrative manager. Training will be administered through the Department's Training and
Recruiting Detail, which is composed of three trainers and a sergeant supervisor. Training and
Recruiting personnel also will participate in the design and administration of preplanned
exercises in coordination with the City's emergency management function — which is comprised
of a civilian emergency management coordinator and a Police Lieutenant.

BUDGET NARRATIVE
This document provides additional detail about the equipment and supplies to be purchased
through this grant project. Procurement will be accomplished using the City of Round Rock's
normal procurement method, which is consistent with Texas and federal law.
Technology -related command vehicle equipment
What is being purchased here essentially is the connectivity and networking piece of the
command vehicle. The major elements being purchased are:
Satellite Antenna (data and voice) $36,530.45
Firewall $3281.35
Network Router and Switches $13,866.40
Wireless Accept Point $891.24
IP Phones (wired and wireless) $7,580.00
Uninterruptible Power Supply $2,027.46
Other Technology Equipment $14,549.76
Satellite Service (data and voice) $9,172.00
Installation $28,000.00
Shipping $4,442.12
TOTAL $116,340.79
Installation of this equipment will allow the command platform to interact with other tactical and
command elements, and will allow electronic information to be brought directly into the tactical
command. The network elements and connectivity features do not lend themselves well to being
leased.
Fit -Test Instrument for Air Purifying Respirators
This equipment is necessary to ensure that the APRs purchased elsewhere in this project fit
properly. Without ensuring a proper fit of these masks, officers may experience APR failure
during deployment in a hazardous environment.
Electronic Control Devices and Related Equipment
The unit cost is based on Texas state -contract -pricing for Taser Model X26E with an extended
life battery, holster, and 25 -foot cartridge.
This equipment would provide police officers another less -lethal tool with which they may
respond to resistance or aggression incidents.
CBRN equipment for SWAT officers
Budget would provide for APR mask system, tactical headset system and CBRN protective over-
garments (coat, trousers, gloves, over -boots) for 25 members of the Department's SWAT team.
Unit cost is determined by taking the total cost for these items (some of which are different sizes)
and backing out an overall unit cost per SWAT officer.
Air Purifying Respirators
Project would provide masks, filters, carrier for each of 85 officers, as well as a filter mount plug
tool for every five officers. The unit cost was determined by taking the total cost and calculating
an average per -officer cost.

PROGRAM NARRATIVE
PROJECT ABSTRACT. This project provides the Police Department with partial funding for a
command vehicle, as well as funding for electronic control devices, and personal protective gear
to provide police officer with additional tools to manage large-scale incidents, response to
resistance or aggression, and protect officers responding to incidents in hazardous environments.
PROBLEM STATEMENT. The City of Round Rock's Police Department has a critical need for
equipment used by officers to fight and prevent crime, including gang and drug-related activities,
routine criminal investigations, security surveillance, and large-scale emergency response.
GOALS, OBJECTIVES, PERFORMANCE MEASURES. The project will:
1. Provide $116,341 toward the purchase of a Public Safety Command Vehicle. The
command vehicle will enhance and improve on-site incident management capabilities and
support the five Regional Type -2 SWAT Teams, 35 LE Strike Teams, Type -3 Incident
Management Teams (IMT) and CBRNE1 Response Teams in Texas.
The vehicle will provide incident command with advanced capabilities and situational
awareness. It will respond to all -hazards incidents in the Urban Area and beyond as
needed, and will support pre -planned events, regional training, and exercises. The
command vehicle will provide redundant, interoperable communications capabilities,
including voice, data, wireless -mesh video and satellite capabilities. This vehicle can be
rapidly deployed to respond to and manage emergency incidents within the Urban Area,
and through mutual aid agreement, will reach areas within and outside the State of Texas.
The 38 -foot vehicle has the capacity to fully support 17 seated positions in a climate -
controlled environment.
The total cost of this vehicle will be $420,000 — of which $304,000 is being funded by a
grant through the federal Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) program. The balance of
the funds necessary for the vehicle's technology elements — wireless and satellite
connectivity and other technology — to complete this project would be funded by this
Congressionally Selected Award. Cost: $116,341.
2. Fund the initial deployment of TASER electronic control devices to 85 field officers.
This deployment would provide field officers with another tool for less -lethal response to
resistance or aggression. Every field officer and sergeant in the Department will receive
an electronic control, cartridges, and holsters. Cost: $86,314
t Chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high -yield explosives
3. Fund protective gear for field officers responding in hazardous environments. Personal
protective gear includes air -purifying respirators (APR), CBRN suits, and related
footwear. Cost: $97,345.
Thus, this project would provide the Police Department with additional tools to manage large-
scale incidents, response to resistance or aggression, and protect officers responding to incidents
in hazardous environments.
The City of Round Rock understands that it must provide data measuring the results of this
project. To that end, the Police Department proposes the follow set of performance measures
associated with this project:

PROJECT DESIGN. The City will purchase the equipment and supplies using normal
procurement rules that adhere to state and federal requirements. Once acquired, the Police
Department will provide the necessary training and place the equipment and supplies into
service. As the command vehicle will be a regional asset within the State of Texas, a set of
milestones already is established for that element of the project — the major components of which
are outlined above. Training for electronic control devices and personal protective gear will be
provided by the Police Department. Pre -planned deployments will be built into the Department's
normal training regime in-house and in coordination with regional exercises. The placement in
service and deployment of electronic control devices will be captured as part of the Department's
existing system to report and monitor police response to resistance or aggression.
Acquisition of the equipment and supplies is anticipated to be completed during the first year of
the project. By the end of the project's second year, all training and deployment will have been
conducted.
MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY. The Police Department's Logistics
and Research Unit will be responsible for the acquisition of the equipment and supplies outlined
in this project. This unit of the Department employs two logistics officers supervised by an
administrative manager. Training will be administered through the Department's Training and
Recruiting Detail, which is composed of three trainers and a sergeant supervisor. Training and
Recruiting personnel also will participate in the design and administration of preplanned
exercises in coordination with the City's emergency management function — which is comprised
of a civilian emergency management coordinator and a Police Lieutenant.

BUDGET NARRATIVE
This document provides additional detail about the equipment and supplies to be purchased
through this grant project. Procurement will be accomplished using the City of Round Rock's
normal procurement method, which is consistent with Texas and federal law.
Technology -related command vehicle equipment
What is being purchased here essentially is the connectivity and networking piece of the
command vehicle. The major elements being purchased are:
Satellite Antenna (data and voice) $36,530.45
Firewall $3281.35
Network Router and Switches $13,866.40
Wireless Accept Point $891.24
IP Phones (wired and wireless) $7,580.00
Uninterruptible Power Supply $2,027.46
Other Technology Equipment $14,549.76
Satellite Service (data and voice) $9,172.00
Installation $28,000.00
Shipping $4,442.12
TOTAL $116,340.79
Installation of this equipment will allow the command platform to interact with other tactical and
command elements, and will allow electronic information to be brought directly into the tactical
command. The network elements and connectivity features do not lend themselves well to being
leased.
Fit -Test Instrument for Air Purifying Respirators
This equipment is necessary to ensure that the APRs purchased elsewhere in this project fit
properly. Without ensuring a proper fit of these masks, officers may experience APR failure
during deployment in a hazardous environment.
Electronic Control Devices and Related Equipment
The unit cost is based on Texas state -contract -pricing for Taser Model X26E with an extended
life battery, holster, and 25 -foot cartridge.
This equipment would provide police officers another less -lethal tool with which they may
respond to resistance or aggression incidents.
CBRN equipment for SWAT officers
Budget would provide for APR mask system, tactical headset system and CBRN protective over-
garments (coat, trousers, gloves, over -boots) for 25 members of the Department's SWAT team.
Unit cost is determined by taking the total cost for these items (some of which are different sizes)
and backing out an overall unit cost per SWAT officer.
Air Purifying Respirators
Project would provide masks, filters, carrier for each of 85 officers, as well as a filter mount plug
tool for every five officers. The unit cost was determined by taking the total cost and calculating
an average per -officer cost.
