platform and ROV to supplement existing port assets based off intelligence on the most current threat.In the event of a man-made or natural disaster,this system would be able to respond and still provide real-time video of current conditions underwater where above visibility would not be likely.The ability for the dive team to deploy after a disaster in primitive conditions would allow for better emergency response,further threat identification,and post incident assessment.The ability to gather this data would provide port officials with better information,allowing more effective planning,and the best opportunity to return the port to effective operations. With the ability to transport and deploy the dive team and ROV to a large event or soft targets would allow a means to detect threats when other infrastructure is not in place.This could include the ferry terminal that is just south of the City of Everett jurisdiction,an event at the Port of Everett,or anywhere else in the region. This project will consist of a of dive operations trailer and an ROV.The dive trailer will be equipped with exterior lighting,awnings,additional storage space, and temperature controlled for any type of operation or inclement weather.The ROV will have the depth capability of 1000ft with high performance motors and sensors,a pan and tilt camera with digital video recorder to get instant visual of a threat during an operation. Currently the City of Everett dive operations unit doesn't have a ROV or an adequate dive operations platform which can be utilized for lengthy deployments of divers for underwater threat assessments/detection within the Port of Everett.The setup would allow a better ability to identify underwater threats vs police operations above the surface. The Snohomish County Sheriffs Office is equipped with an ROV and dive trailer.However,their equipment is not readily available to the City of Everett's dive team.But any additional assets to include another ROV and dive operations platform which could be used for underwater threat assessments would greatly increase situational awareness and aid in the Port getting back to normal operations.Having two similar systems in the region would aid in redundancy and provide additional assets on larger calls.This redundancy would ensure that there would be a response capability virtually 100%of the time. Due to a diver's limitations,the ROV would provide a higher level of continuous situational awareness.The dive operations trailer would allow the dive team to support additional agency dive teams and additional first responders to allow for a more effective response during emergencies. PART X-NATIONAL PRIORITIES 40)IDENTIFY ONE PROGRAM PRIORITY THIS INVESTMENT MOST CLOSELY SUPPORTS(Program Priorities are identified in the NOFO): Program Priority 5 41)DESCRIBE HOW,AND THE EXTENT THIS INVESTMENT JUSTIFICATION MEETS ONE OR MORE OF THE NATIONAL PRIORITIES. This investment closely supports Program Priority 5,"Equipment and Capital Project". The new dive platform with supported dive equipment such as the ROV and attached sonar aid in the screening and detecting of threats within or around the Port. The use of the equipment will aid in the reduced long-term vulnerability of the Port's infrastructure and be another layer of protection the City of Everett Police Department has to offer. In the case of a natural or manmade disaster,this project would allow us to support the Port of Everett in assessing any damage to critical infrastructure and provide detailed information to allow the port to return to service. The Port of Everett maintains the largest public marina on the west coast with more than 2300 permanent and guest moorage slips. Adjacent to the Marina,the Port operates the largest boat launch in the State,with 13 saltwater launching lanes.The marine terminal handles hazardous cargo and is the only port terminal in the area able to handle the oversize cargo necessary to support the Boeing Aircraft production supply chain. The Port's Mount Baker Terminal is focused for aerospace cargo and is critical infrastructure for the Boeing aerospace industry.The Washington State Ferry runs between Mukilteo and Clinton which is adjacent to the city limits.The Ferry terminal is less than 1 mile from Port Facilities. We co-respond to security incidents involving the ferry system. Naval Station Everett provides a large profile facility that could attract potential security risks to the Port of Everett area. This investment meets the enduring needs of enhancing the protection of soft targets and crowded places,addressing emerging threats and training. With the continued development of the Port of Everett there will be an increase in the number of people in or around the Port. As part of the development there will be venues for larger gatherings such as markets,concerts and other events taking place in or around the Port's waterways. With the increase in functions taking place it will require a significant enhancement of the situational preparedness by the Marine Unit. The dive unit will now be able to scan and search areas and in and around the Port which in the past were deemed unsafe for a diver.The recorded video from the ROV can be utilized for threat/hazard identification and information gathering. The early detection and interdiction of a hazard or threat is imperative for public information warnings and intelligence gathering which will result in a more secure port. The new dive platform and support equipment will improve the dive team's response plan to provide an appropriate operational coordination and communications during exercises or operation. This new dive platform with support equipment could also be deployed to the area of the Mukilteo Ferry docks or the new passenger terminal at Paine Field in the event of an emergency. The new dive platform and support equipment will aid in the recovery of the Port to normal operations faster than it would have done previously.
