. EXHIBIT A SOW Project Understanding The Santa Ana Urban Area (UA). 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 unincorpotated areas. This strategic plan will provide the road map 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. The strategy and assessments required in the scope of work will 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. law 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 consistent with our collection requirements, any information we receive from the RTII will be used to assist in the target ranking strategy. In developing the strategy, URS will be responsibie for the following: . Utilizing the existing data to the maximum extent possible . Collecting data and validating from jurisdictions and agencies . Evaluating the data. conducting analysis and providing recommendations . Preparing project documents . Attending meetings at least weekly . Completing the strategy in 120 days This scope of work includes as Attachment 1, the following documents: a project cost estimate, a billing milestone schedule, and a URS fee schedule with teduced rates to be used for any additional services that may be requested for this project.
