EXHIBIT A PROPOSED ACTIONS Willdan is committed to providing the five cities supported under the Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) project with the same outstanding level of practical, responsive, and forward -looking support the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area has received in the past. We can make this assertion, in part, because our proposed Project 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. Supporting Willdan on the COOP project is SRA International who brings local COOP planning experience proven and refined on projects throughout southern California. Together, their insights into the ASAUA's needs, objectives, and operating procedures are unrivaled, and their ability to advise and support tha ALAI IA matrhlacc in itc rlanraa of nrartiralifii anri ni iality The Willdan team will provide the following COOP planning, training, and exercise services to the Cities of Santa Ana, Anaheim, Fullerton, Huntington Beach, and Irvine during the period of performance ending October 30, 2009: A. Phase I- Planning. The planning phase of this project will be conducted over a 7- month period that is subdivided into 5 events or milestones. 1. Initial Planning Meeting. The purpose of the initial planning meeting will be to introduce the members of the Willdan team, review the approach and timeline, and discuss project roles and responsibilities. Members of the Willdan Team and the jurisdictional Stakeholder Project Managers will participate in this meeting. The outcome of this meeting will be an agreement between the Willdan Team and Stakeholder Project Managers on the approach and timeline of the project. The Willdan project manager will facilitate this meeting and his staff will coordinate the invite and track the RSVP's. Willdan will provide all of the planning materials for these meetings. 2. Kick Off Meeting. Each of the five cities will conduct a project kick off meeting. The purpose of the meeting will be to provide a larger audience, comprised of city department heads and planners, with a project overview/approach, COOP overview, project requirements, and planning team roles and responsibilities. These meetings will produce comprehensive project understanding among the planning participants at multiple levels. Willdan will coordinate and facilitate these meetings and provide all of the required reference materials. 3. Departmental Meetings. Willdan will coordinate and facilitate a series of planning meetings to develop each city's departmental COOP. We anticipate that approximately three planning meetings will be required for each city department. Moreover, each city will require one jurisdictional planning meeting to develop the overarching city COOP for each jurisdiction. Willdan, working in concert with each jurisdictional stakeholder project manager, will coordinate, facilitate, and provide the materials for each of these planning WiIJ{~~n ~op~ji~ry
