Summary of Work to be Performed
We understand that the City of Miami is seeking our assistance to implement the
requirements of the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) Grant. This proposal
is for consideration as a contract amendment to our current contact for all -hazards
Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) development. The City of
Miami has requested our immediate assistance in this effort due to aggressive
deadlines in the grant and our current work in Miami on emergency management
and continuity planning. The work under UASI looks at the various hazards
present in the terrorism threat. As such, it is closely related and will dovetail with
our current all -hazards planning efforts. In addition, based on our institutional
knowledge, capabilities, and our extensive background in this area, we are
uniquely suited for this assignment.
The UASI grant has a series of aggressive deadlines. Based on our work to date,
we will be able to quickly ramp -up to support the City and, as a result, provide
considerable cost savings to the City.
The UASI Process includes is a comprehensive threat, vulnerability, capability,
and needs assessment, which will be used to develop a Homeland Security
Strategy for the Urban Area. All Hands will assist the City in performance of the
work required to complete these processes. The assessment will address terrorism
threats, vulnerabilities, and response capabilities for the entire Miami, Miami -
Dade County, and Broward County geographical area. Time is of the essence as
this assessment must be completed by September 30, 2003.
To facilitate the data collection process, All Hands will assist in conducting
facilitated workshops to assist jurisdictions with the assessment. This workshop
will facilitate the collection of current baseline capabilities and assist jurisdictions
in determining desired capabilities based on various scenarios.
We will provide the City with support necessary to complete the Homeland
Security Strategy and to provide support for procurement, training and exercise
activities as outlines in the Scope of Work (SOW) shown below.
II. Qualifications and Experience
All Hands consultants are extremely qualified to support the UASI project. As
described in our earlier CEMP proposal, our consultants have decades of relevant
experience as city, county and state level emergency managers and first
responders. Please refer to that proposal for full documentation of our
qualifications and experience.
III. Methodology and Approach
All Hands uses a proven approach to emergency planning. All Hands will work
closely with City employees and related officials including Miami -Dade and
