This proposal covers the time and effort of KIPP contractors/course coordinators, agreed <br />upon student materials, travel and other allowable costs incurred in support of this project <br />as stipulated above. The total price for the aforementioned training and support in the <br />proposal is 54,950.00. <br />For reference, KIPP is a registered vendor with Orange County (Orange County vendor <br />#X04181) and is a California Corporation in good standing. KIPP is a Veteran Owned <br />Small Business with its offices located in the city of Long Beach, California. <br />SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION <br />KIPP is a current private vendor (Orange County vendor 4X04181) in the State of <br />California offering a variety of terrorism, intelligence and Homeland Security training <br />services. KIPP has been extensively involved with training for agencies, offices or <br />departments throughout California for many years. KIPP and its cadre of expert <br />instructors have been providing formal TLO training since 2004 throughout the state and <br />out of state, and had provided informal TLO training through the Terrorism Early <br />Warning (TEW) program since 2001. KIPP has provided more formal TLO training in <br />California than all other entities combined, public and private, and is on track to <br />significantly increase its total TLO training in 2011. For reference, KIPP is responsible <br />for training approximately 5000 public safety professionals as TLOs from July 2008 <br />through to the present, providing both one-day and three-day TLO courses. As such, <br />KIPP is an existing private vendor of TLO courses, and is uniquely qualified and capable <br />of quickly and comprehensively providing the type, scope, timeliness, quality and <br />quantity of training support needed by OCIAC for its TLOs. KIPP's principal and <br />associates are the co-developers and primary instructors in 5-day and previous 3-day <br />TLO courses and in the one day TLO Basic course. These courses were POST Certified <br />and DHS HSGP approved. When the State of Califomia wanted to formalize TLO <br />training in 2004, it turned to KIPP. Before and after founding KIPP, Mr. Kempfer has <br />been a course coordinator, training developer/and or instructor in this kind of material <br />and these topics for interagency, international, multi-jurisdictional and civil-military <br />organizations, with much of that being focused multi-jurisdictional response to <br />asymmetric threats facing Southern California going back to the mid-90s. When the state <br />of California wanted to formalize TLO training in 2004, it turned to KIPP. Hal Kempfer, <br />CEO of KIPP, is singled out because of his decade long affiliation with the TEW <br />program in multiple California counties and multi-disciplinary Emergency Operations <br />entities concerned with terrorism intelligence and information liaison issues, along with <br />an extensive and unique background working with the civil-military fusion centers and <br />regional law enforcement fusion centers on training programs or exercises. A retired <br />Marine Reserve LtCol and former senior intelligence officer for Marine Corps, Joint and <br />Coalition Commands, along with being a noted Homeland Security expert for that <br />service, he also has been a core instructor for the National Guard's National Interagency <br />Civil-Military Institute (NICI) and Joint Interagency Training Center West (JITC-W), the <br />Naval Postgraduate School's programs supporting Navy Region Commands worldwide <br />in anti-terrorism and all-hazards preparedness, and the U.S. Pacific Command's mobile <br />training teams and subject matter expert exchanges under Joint Task Force Homeland
