(Motorola), to purchase and\ndeploy ASTRO Managed Detection and Response (MDR) system which provides 24x7x365\nSecurity Operations Center support for the Los Angeles Port Police (Port Police) systems.\nThe MDR is categorized as a ‘Security-as-a-Service’ offering whereby an organization\noutsources some of its security operations to a third-party provider. It goes beyond simply\ndetecting threats to working to remediate them on an organization’s network. The\nemployment of this system will enhance cyber security monitoring of Port Police systems,\nspecifically, the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Records Management Systems (RMS),\nland-mobile radio system, and the 9-1-1 computer telephone system. The proposed\nAgreement is for a term of three years and an amount not to exceed $1,177,886.87. Year 1\nwill primarily consist of an assessment of the various networks and solutions for\nvulnerabilities, penetration testing, system monitoring, and staff training. Years 2 and 3 will be\nprimarily monitoring and additional testing, as required, for any system changes. The\nsubscription services will be provided in each of the three contract years. Additionally, this\namount includes contingency funds which are often needed for technology-related projects\nwhich frequently face unforeseen problems. The Harbor Department will be financially\nresponsible for payment of expenses incurred under the proposed Agreement.\nRecommendation: Board resolve to (1) find that the Director of Environmental Management\nhas determined that the proposed action is administratively and categorically exempt from the\nrequirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Article II Section 2(f)\nand Article III Class 1(6) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines; (2) find that in accordance\nwith the Los Angeles City Charter Section 1022, the services to be provided herein cannot be\nperformed by Harbor Department personnel or other current City job classifications; (3) find\nthat in accordance with the Los Angeles City Charter Section 1022 and Los Angeles\nAdministrative Code Section 10.15(a)(10) the proprietary nature of the ASTRO technology\nlimits the availability of specialized expertise to only the particular system vendor, and the\ndesire to utilize the same public safety system as the Los Angeles Police Department would\nmake it undesirable or impractical to utilize another system vendor; (4) approve the proposed\nAgreement between the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department and Motorola Solutions, Inc.;\n(5) authorize the Executive Director to execute and the Board Secretary to attest said\nAgreement for and on behalf of the Board; and (6) adopt Resolution No.____________.\nAccounting/Commission Office
