File #: 23-407 MEETING DATE: 5/16/2023
REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Al Zelinka, City Manager
VIA: Eric Parra, Chief of Police
PREPARED BY: Gaute Svendsbo, Police Captain
Subject:
Approve sole source purchases of three Shotover Augmented Reality Mapping Systems from
Hangar One Avionics for the Huntington Beach Police Department Air Support Unit recently
purchased helicopters
Statement of Issue:
City Council approval is requested for the sole source purchases of Shotover Augmented Reality
Mapping Systems from Hangar One Avionics for the recently purchased helicopters and appropriate
monies from the Supplemental Law Enforcement Service Fund (SLESF).
Financial Impact:
The total cost of three Shotover Augmented Reality Mapping Systems is approximately $433,000.
Staff is requesting an appropriation of $433,000 in the SLESF for the purchase.
Recommended Action:
A) Approve Sole Source purchase of the Shotover Augmented Reality Mapping System from Hangar
One Avionics; and,
B) Appropriate $433,000 in the Supplemental Law Enforcement Service Fund.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
The Air Support Unit (ASU) has a mapping system in each helicopter. The system is used in the
helicopter to view and record the activity occurring on the ground. The current mapping system is
outdated and the current vendor has failed to provide customer support to rectify several ongoing
mapping issues.
The Shotover Augmented Reality Maping System is the industry leading system to assist in the

critical functions needed to complete the ASU mission. Hanger One Avionics (HOA) is the only
company providing their proprietary installation system with the Shotover map. The change to the
Shotover system with the HOA installation allows the ASU to continue providing the needed service
to our police assets on the ground. When installed in each helicopter, it is wired for the specific
mapping system used. Shot over is the only mapping system which can be installed without having to
retool or adjust the cameras, lights or wiring currently in the helicopters. Installation of a mapping
system can be a time-consuming process, but with HOA installation, the process will be completed in
one day with little to no downtime of ASU services for the communities we serve. Shotover mapping
with HOA installation is the only local, efficient option for the ASU.
Environmental Status:
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), administrative activities of governments that will
not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment do not constitute a project.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Financial Sustainability, Public Safety or Other

Sole Source Justification
1'1FCO(411 (For use on all goods and services acquisitions.)
Complete responses must be provided for all of the following items.
A. THE GOOD/SERVICE REQUESTED iS RESTRICTED TO ONE SUPPLIER FOR THE REASONS STATED BELOW:
1. Why is the acquisition restricted to this goods/services/supplier?
(Explain why the acquisition cannot be competitively bid.)
The Air Support Unit(ASU)has a mapping system in each Helicopter. The system is used in the
helicopters to view and record the activity occurring on the ground.The current mapping system is
outdated and the company has failed to provide customer support to rectify several ongoing mapping
issues.
This Shotover"Augmented Reality Maping System"is the industry-leading system to assist In the critical
functions needed to complete the ASU mission.Hanger One Avionics(HOA)is the only company
providing their proprietary installation system with the Shotover map.The change to the Shotover system
with the HOA installation will allow the ASU to continue to provide the needed service to our police assets
on the ground.When installed in each helicopter,it is wired for the specific mapping system used.The
installation of a new mapping system can be a time-consuming process,but with HOA,the process will be
completed in one day as no reconfiguration in the helicopters will be required and we will have little to no
downtime of ASU services for the communities we serve.Shotover mapping with HOA installation is the
only local,efficient option for the ASU.
2. Provide the background of events leading to this acquisition.
The current mapping system,Areocomputers Airborne Systems(AAS),began having trouble Identifying
addresses while the helicopters were in flight.Contact was made with MS and during a three month
process they were unable to fix the problem with their system and failed to provide timely and adequate
feedback and explanation as to why the system was failing.ASS has recently advised the ASU the series
UC6000 mapping we are currently using is going to be phased out in the coming year and will not be
updated.All of the events combined have forced us to look into other mapping computer systems.
3. Describe the uniqueness of the acquisition(why was the good/service/supplier chosen?).
The mapping system is one of the most crucial parts of the helicopter allowing us to provide Information
to the ground units in a timely and effective manner.The mapping system allows us to record the video
being captured by our camera and provide these pictures as evidence to each incident.It allows the pilot
and flight observer to quickly find locations,as well as relay timely information to the ground units.
The Shotover mapping system is 66%lighter than the MS systems,allowing us to save on fuel costs.
Shotover is the only system which would allow us to move forward without having to retool or adjust the
camera,light,or wiring in the helicopter.Shotover mapping with HOA installation is the only local,
efficient option for the ASU.
4. What are the consequences of not purchasing the goods/services or contracting with the proposed
supplier?
As stated above the current MS system we have is being phased out,is not fully operational,and would
leave the ASU with out one of the most crucial pieces of equipment in the helicopter.

279
5. What market research was conducted to substantiate no competition,including evaluation of other items
considered?
(Provide a narrative of your efforts to Identify other similar or appropriate goods/services,Including a summary of how the department
concluded that such alternatives are either Inappropriate or unavailable. The names and addresses of suppliers contacted and the reasons
for not considering them must be included Og an explanation of why the survey or effort to identify other goodsfservlces was not
performed.)
During the research of purchasing a new mapping system,we discovered there were no vendors
comparable to Shotover and no installation companies in or around California who would be able to meet
or match HOA's pricing and customer service.During this research process we discovered that 10 ASU
units have moved to the Shotover system,including Ontario PD,Riverside PD,LAPD,Las Vegas PD and
Atlanta PD,and the California agencies have used Hanger One Avionics as their installation company.
B. PRICE ANALYSIS
1. How was the price offered determined to be fair and reasonable?
(Explain what the basis was for comparison and include cost analyses as applicable.)
The price was consistent with current market values for similar services and products.
2. Describe any cost savings realized or costs avoided by acquiring the goods/services from this supplier.
There are no additional costs associated with this product or installation.

parcel information,business names and distance to target can be displayed directly over the live full
motion video.This product has a wealth of characteristics,options and features unmatched in the
market and has been acquired under Sole Source Justification by many agencies. These unmatched
items include:size,weight,features,interoperability with current aircraft systems,overlay quality,
warranty and support and as such is the best value now and in the future.
