EXHIBIT A PROPOSED ACTIONS Willdan is committed to providing the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area (ASAUA) homeland security exercise program with the same outstanding level of practical, responsive, and forward -looking support it has received in the past. We can make this assertion, in part, because our proposed Program Manager, Jim Bailey, and his core team staff—including Wendy Kleinman, Mike Hooper, and Alberto Martinez— have served as the primary contractor support staff to the ASAUA homeland security exercise program for the past 3 years. Their insights into the ASAUA's needs, objectives, and operating procedures are unrivaled, and their ability to advise and support the ASAUA matchless in its degree of practicality and quality. The ASAUA Multi -Year Training and Exercise Plan is a three-year plan that incorporates training and exercise events. The scheduling of training and exercise events incorporates the building block approach and synchronizes the related homeland security training events with their respective exercises. The Willdan team will provide the following services in support of the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area Training and Exercise Program during FY 2008/09: A. Improvement Plan (IP) Workshop. The IP Workshop will be the commencement of the Multi -Year Training and Exercise Program. This workshop will gather Improvement Plan data, specifically areas of improvement and corrective actions, from previous exercises and real-world events for the follow-on Training & Exercise Planning Workshop. The IP Workshop will be a one -day (8 hour) exercise and will include approximately 50 participants, selected by City, from the region's USAR, forensics/coroner, public information, hospitals, and the private sector. The Willdan team will be responsible for logistical considerations, including food and beverages, exercise materials (badges, signage, and handouts) and providing an experienced facilitator. Cost: $4,860 B. Training & Exercise Planning Workshop (TEPW). This workshop will help lay the groundwork for many of the activities that take place in Year 1 and beyond. The TEPW is a strategy session that will solicit input from all stakeholders and draft the Three -Year Training and Exercise schedule. The goal of the 8 -hour workshop will be to coordinate training and exercises among partners, thereby avoiding duplication and pooling resources. The TEPW should include many, if not all, of the same 50 participants that attended the IP Workshop. We will be responsible for logistical considerations during the TEPW, including food and beverages, exercise materials (badges, signage, and handouts) and providing a facilitator and adequate support staff.
