~'''t. .~.~. /~< v y COMBINED AREAS STRATEGIC PLAN FOR TERRORISM PREPAREDNESS Ultimately. the success of the project depends upon the organization, training and experience of the project team. Effective project management is a fundamental strength of the URS. An example of our competence and success is the Los Angeles Airport Master Plan and Environmental Impact Report program recently certified and adopted by the City of Los Angeles. After approximately 10 years of work. and through the creation of more than 12 thousand pages of documents, the URS-led project management team has completed the environmental clearance for the largest and most complicated public works project in the history of the City of Los Angeles. 2.3.2 Subconsultants/Subcontractors URS will have one subconsultant. Jim McGeahy, Sole Proprietor, working out of the Santa Ana office. Jim will be managing the following responsibilities: Threat Assessment Vulnerability Assessment . Capabilities Assessment 2.3.3 Technical Approach and Milestones This section presents our approach to completing the Countywide Strategic Plan for Terrorism Preparedness. In this section we also identify major milestones and potential implementation issues. 2.3.3.1 Project Understanding URS understands that the Santa Ana Urban Area (UAj, the Anaheim UA and the Orange County (County) Sheriff's department have decided to approach terrorism prevention and preparedness as a regional program including the 34 incorporated cities in the county as well as the unincorporated areas. Additionally. the strategic plan desired will provide the roadmap for expenditure of not only UASI grants, but for other grant funds related to homeland security and emergency response. The urban areas submitted the initial plan required by the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) in April 2004. The plan includes a subjective analysis of potential targets, a discussion of needs assessment and goals, objectives and implementation actions with a focus on the prevention of terrorist attacks. We understand that the strategy and assessments required in the scope of work should be broken down in two sections: one for the Santa Ana UA (generally the southern portion of the County) and one for the Anaheim UA (northern portion of the County). The strategy desired includes three components: a risk assessment, a capabilities assessment and a spending strategy. Based on our UASI project experience, we are aware that the strategy will include the public sectors of fire services, Jaw enforcement, emergency management, hazardous materials, public works, public health, health care, emergency medical services, public safety communications and government administrative. We expect that Caltrans, public utilities, private industry and possibly community-based groups will also provide limited input as in the development of the strategy. We are aware that the Regional Technology Integration Initiative (RTII) will be conducting threat and vulnerability assessments for the operations area. If data is available and URS 6 It'
