EXHIBIT A: RFP 13-005 SECTION I SCOPE OF WORK 1.0 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this Request for Proposal is to identify a suitable vendor to support the Active Shooter Training Program for the Anaheim / Santa Ana Urban Area (ASAUA). This vendor will be responsible for working with the stakeholders in the Urban Area to train public safety personnel on how to respond to an active shooter event and train-the-trainer on how to deliver the training with the input and coordination of the Urban Area's stakeholders. The selected vendor shall provide an active shooter training curriculum that is DHS approved. 1.2 BACKGROUND INFORMATION The support requested for this active shooter training program will be paid in part or in full with funding from the United States Department of Homeland Security's Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) grant. Funding from this grant is applied to homeland security related training, exercises, equipment, and projects in the Anaheim / Santa Ana Urban Area (ASAUA). The ASAUA is comprised of the 34 cities and two universities in Orange County, California. The Santa Ana and Anaheim Police Departments alternate fiscal responsibility for the grant. The ASAUA Urban Area Working Group (UAWG) has identified regional active shooter training program as a priority for public safety agencies in Orange County. The tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) adopted by the Orange County regional UASI Active Shooter Training Program are designed to prepare public safety first responders to react to an active shooter event - both homegrown/domestic threats and terrorism based events. These TTPs are based on SWAT, HRT, and military Special Operations tactics that have been modified for public safety personnel working in the Field Operations environment. Prior to being selected as the tactical model to be taught these TTPs were evaluated and selected by public safety personnel with decades of public safety experience in the field, as SWAT operators, and as Army Special Forces operators. Most importantly these evaluators have years of practical experience teaching and utilizing these tactics in actual lethal threat environments. This tactical model was then presented to the UAWG and accepted as the UASI regional active shooter training model. The ASAUA seeks to continue its active shooter training program. The training program consists of three parts. They are as follows: 1. Three-day comprehensive active shooter training course is designed to train line level public safety personnel on the tactics needed to respond to an event. There will be a combination of lecture to review the tactics and exercises to demonstrate practical applications of tactics. There will be up to 4 courses delivered, 30 students per class, before December 31, 2013. At a minimum, the Proposer shall provide one instructor for every 10 students. 2. One-day refresher course is a condensed version of the three-day training course. This is aimed at refreshing the skills of public safety personnel who have taken the three-day course in the past. There will be up to 27 courses delivered, 30 students per class, before December 31, 2013. At a minimum, the Proposer shall provide one instructor for every 10 students. 25C-12
