County of Los Angeles Internal Services Department Request for Information (RFI) No. 19-001 FREE Wi-Fi SERVICES @ COUNTY PARKS 1.0 PURPOSE The County of Los Angeles (County) Internal Services Department (ISD) is releasing this Request of Information (RFI) to obtain information from firms that that can provide a free Wi-Fi service with open access to all social media sites for the public at County Parks within the jurisdiction of the County Department of Park and Recreation (DPR). Specifically, the County is seeking information from firms interested in entering into a Public/Private Partnership (PPP), or similar agreement, wherein the County would grant a firm(s) advertising privileges at County Parks in exchange for implementation and ongoing provision of free Wi-Fi services. Information received in response to the RFI may be used by the County for planning purposes. Vendors are advised that the County reserves the right to use any information gathered in response to this RFI to develop future solicitations. This RFI does not commit the County to contract for any services whatsoever. The County shall not be liable in any way or have any responsibility for any costs incurred in connection with the preparation, submittal, or presentation of any response to this RFI. 2.0 BACKGROUND DPR strives to provide residents and visitors with quality recreational opportunities across its 182 County parks. Free Wi-Fi service is currently available at only 30 County parks. While other parks offer computers, the lack of Wi-Fi access renders them inadequate for many park users’ needs. In accordance with a motion approved by the County Board of Supervisors (Board) in August 2019, this RFI will enable the County to gather market information and to gauge the vendor community’s interest in entering into a PPP with the County. Information gathered will help the County determine whether to move forward with a PPP or similar contracting approach to accomplish its goal of providing new and free Wi-Fi services for the public at all County parks. The County firmly believes that Park patrons of all ages would benefit from Internet access at all County Parks to enable them to easily obtain information about parks, reserve picnic areas and other amenities, register for recreation programs, and sign up to volunteer at their local parks. To this end, the County is committed to providing free Wi-Fi at all county parks. 3.0 REQUESTED SERVICES The County is surveying the market for companies that can provide free Wi-Fi services at all County parks listed on Attachment 1. Wi-Fi services proposed must include all work necessary to implement and maintain fully-operational and ongoing Wi-Fi service at the County’s 182 parks, at no cost to the Public. This work includes, but is not limited to, surveying, designing, and installing services necessary to provide Park patrons with consistently available internet access at speeds allowing access all social media sites without delay. Request for Information – No. 19-001 1 4.0 RESPONDENT’S CORPORATE INFORMATION Provide the following Corporate and contact information, including: A. A description of the firm’s organization, including corporate status, names of principals, number of employees, client base, areas of specialization and expertise. B. Detailed financial information relating to the ability to implement free Wi-Fi services at all County Parks listed on Attachment 1. C. A list of previous clients, including other municipalities/cities, for which similar services has been performed under a PPP, or similar type of arrangement. NOTE: References of agencies and projects that demonstrate your ability to perform projects of this magnitude and successful completion of projects on established timelines. The Count is interested in system and end user equipment that are currently in production. 5.0 INFORMATION REQUESTED The County is requesting responses that address the items below for provision of free Wi-Fi services at all County Parks. The response should be very specific about costs (if any), one-time and on-going, expected from County. A. A detailed description of how the Wi-Fi coverage will be implemented and operated at each of the 182 parks shall include: i. Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) for proposed services. ii. Description of your firm’s proposed administration roles, how they would coordinate with County staff, and how those roles are envisioned to be funded. 1. Provide a flowchart of the workflow and the suggested roles and responsibilities between the County and your firm for every stage of the process of implementing and providing ongoing Wi-Fi services at County Parks (i.e. implementation, preparation, advertising, marketing and administration). iii. A preliminary project timeline that reflects all planning and implementation with milestones to outline the progress of the project. To the extent possible, a plan, schedule, and cost proposal (if applicable), broken out in detail within the different elements (i.e. implementation, financing and administration). B. Provide a plan describing approaches for how your firm will market services to the public, and how your firms plans to advertise at each Park. C. Provide an overview of how your firm would monitor and mitigate any inherent security risks associated with providing free Wi-Fi at County Parks. Include a discussion on: i. Any limitations and restrictions of the proposed free Wi-Fi service, including limitations and restrictions for client access; and ii. Your firm’s ability to comply with the County Internet filtering policy to prevent access to inappropriate sites. D. Provide a description of your firm’s current environmental policies and practices. Request for Information – No. 19-001 2 6.0 PRESENTATIONS The County may opt to schedule presentations by Respondents at its sole discretion.

    WHY THE ORIGINAL INDIAN TRIBE OF THE GREATER LOS ANGELES AREA IS CALLED KIZH NOT TONGVA by E. Gary Stickel, Ph.D (UCLA) Tribal Archaeologist Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians/ Kizh Nation 2016 1 WHY THE ORIGINAL INDIAN TRIBE OF THE GREATER LOS ANGELES AREA IS CALLED KIZH NOT TONGVA by E. Gary Stickel, Ph.D (UCLA) Tribal Archaeologist Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians/ Kizh Nation The original Indian Tribe of the greater Los Angeles and Orange County areas, has been referred to variously which has lead to much confusion. This article is intended to clarify what they were called, what they want to be called today (Kizh), and what they do not want to be called (i.e. “tongva”). Prior to the invasion of foreign nations into California (the Spanish Empire and the Russian Empire) in the 1700s, California Indian Tribes did not have pan-tribal names for themselves such as Americans are used to (for example, the “Cherokee” or “Navajo” [Dine]). The local Kizh Indian People identified themselves with their associated resident village (such as Topanga, Cahuenga, Tujunga, Cucamonga, etc.). This concept can be understood if one considers ancient Greece where, before the time of Alexander the Great, the people there did not consider themselves “Greeks” but identified with their city states. So one was an Athenian from Athens or a Spartan from Sparta. Similarly the Kizh identified with their associated villages. Anthropologists, such as renowned A.L. Kroeber, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley, who wrote the first “bible” of California Indians (1925), inappropriately referred to the subject tribe as the “Gabrielinos” (Kroeber 1925).

    Community Profile

    The City of Lancaster is situated approximately 60 miles north of the City of Los Angeles in the heart of the Antelope Valley. At an altitude of approximately 2500 feet, Lancaster enjoys the high desert climate in both the winter and the summer. A small dusting of snow is not uncommon in the winter and temperatures can reach over 100 degrees in the summer. These weather conditions foster the unique and beautiful vegetation in the Antelope Valley. Thousands of visitors come to Lancaster in the spring to enjoy our beautiful orange poppy fields amongst the world famous Joshua trees. The movie industry has captured the essence of high the desert in its multitude of movies that are shot here each year bringing many additional visitors to patronize our hotels and retail establishments. City of Lancaster 37 HISTORY Following the completion of the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1867, Lancaster was established as a water stop along the route. In 1898, gold was discovered in the hills north of Lancaster and attracted many prospectors to the area. Some of the mines can still be seen and are still operational. Also in 1890, borax was found in what is now known as Boron, just to the north east of Lancaster. The world’s largest open-pit borax mine is still operational today. The 1930’s introduced the first airplane to the area and the Air Force started conducting flight tests at Muroc Air Base (now Edwards Air Force Base). (Aircraft pictures courtesy of NASA picture gallery) Today, the area is most recognized for its significant contributions in the aerospace industry.

CA-82 Location: 428 South Mission Drive, San Gabriel, Los Angeles County, California Latitude: 34.097386 Longitude: -118.1063 (Northeast corner of Mission, Bing Maps, WGS84) Significance: The chain of 21 missions built in California between 1769 and 1823 represent some of California’s earliest European habitation. Mission construction began while California was still controlled by Spain - long before Mexico gained control in 1821, and before the United States took possession in 1846. As each mission was dedicated, it formed the core of a new community, many of which grew into major California cities - San Diego, San Luis Obispo, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz and San Rafael all began as missions. Founded on Sunday, September 8, 1771, Mission San Gabriel Arcángel, was the fourth Alta California mission to be founded after San Diego de Alcala, San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo, and San Antonio de Padua. The name for the Mission comes from the Arcángel, Saint Gabriel. The Spanish government’s goal was to recruit local natives from areas that are today’s El Monte, La Puente, Pomona, San Marino, Santa Fe Springs, and Santa Anita. In this case, the Tongva, later to become the Gabrieleño, were used to build the Mission.
