Juby, Seni r Project Manager 6 IAcmo\Agreements\Agreement w Carollo ERP.bm.04.16.226-Fy2526-156.doex EXHIBIT "A" SCOPE OF SERVICES AWIA Emergency Response Plan 5-Year Update Task 1 —Project Management Consultant to provide AWIA Emergency Response Plan 5-Year Update services. Consultant will actively manage all components of the project, including budget and schedule management, and tracking of all project deliverables. Consultant will provide monthly progress reports and keep minutes for all kickoff and planning meetings. This task includes a 30 to 60-minute virtual kickoff meeting, and up to six (6) 30-min progress meetings. Task 2 Emergency Response Plan Updates Consultant to provide AWIA Emergency Response Plan (ERP) 5-Year Update services. The City's 2021 ERP will be utilized as a baseline for updates and revisions based on the updated 2025 RRA and requirements outlined in AWIA for the 2025 recertification cycle. This task will result in updates to the existing ERP document specific to any new asset - threat pairs, or any changes in organizational structure since the prior ERP update. This update will also consider how real -world incidents across the industry have redefined emergency response actions, priorities, and structures to enable the 2026 ERP to meet the needs of the City during emergencies. The current ERP is robust and provides detailed response guidance based on core Incident Command System (ICS) principles. The plan duplicates significant planning considerations that have been long-established by Emergency Management personnel within the City of Redlands Fire Department. The primary goal of this ERP update will be reducing duplication in the Water ERP, and aligning response guidelines and procedures between the City's general Emergency Management Plan and the Water ERP. With new changes noted above, the ERP must still maintain alignment with the following AWIA legislative requirements. Consultant will reduce duplication while maintaining full compliance with the following: • Strategies and resources to improve the resilience of the system, including physical security and cybersecurity. • Plans and procedures that can be implemented, and identification of equipment that can be utilized, in the event of a malevolent act or natural hazard that threatens the ability of the community water system to deliver safe drinking water. • Actions, procedures, and equipment that can obviate or significantly lessen the impact of a malevolent act or natural hazard on the public health and the safety and supply of drinking water provided to communities and individuals. • Strategies that can be used to aid in the detection of malevolent acts or natural 7 1:\cmo\Agreements\Agreement w Carollo ERP.bm.04.16.226-Fy2526-156,doex hazards that threaten the security or resilience of the system. Task 2.1 — Data Review and Coordination Consultant will review the 2021 ERP in the context of the latest RRA update and identify any current gaps in the plan. Identification of gaps will include coordination efforts, as needed, with other stakeholders within the City to align the plan to other relevant groups and emergency response documents. Based on previous scoping discussions with the City, it is expected that the Fire Department (Emergency Management Group) will be a primary stakeholder to engage in the drafting process. It is assumed that the team will hold two virtual stakeholder discussions to help develop an ERP that accurately aligns with how the City's water utility would respond in an emergency. Task 2.2 Draft ERP Update Consultant will take the gaps identified and information gathered in task 2.1 to update the City's Water ERP. The Consultant team will plan for and facilitate a two-hour virtual workshop with City staff to review changes to the ERP and discuss immediate feedback provided by staff. This meeting will provide context for any further changes or modifications to the ERP before finalization. Task 2.3 - Final ERP Consultant will incorporate comments and edits provided by the City into the ERP And finalize for compliance purposes. 8 L\cmo\Agreements\Agreement w Carollo ERP.bm.04.16.226-Fy2526456.docx EXHIBIT "B" FEE SCHEDULE 1.
