Scope of Services for Preparation of AWIA-Compliant Risk and Resilience Assessment (RRA) and Emergency Response Plan (ERP) and Certifications City of Pleasanton Exhibit A APPROACH America's Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 (AWIA) was signed into law in October of 2018. Under this law, utilities are required to conduct RRAs and prepare or revise ERPs. Utilities must certify to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that they have met these new requirements. AWIA requires each water utility to coordinate with existing local emergency planning committees when preparing or revising RRAs and ERPs. The City must send a letter to the EPA certifying compliance with the AWIA by the dates specified in the AWIA for both the RRA and ERP. Deadlines are assigned based on the population served by a given utility. Based on the population served by the City's water system (i.e., between 50,000-99,000 persons), the RRA and ERP due dates are December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2021 respectively. West Yost Associates (West Yost) will leverage our partnership with Idaho National Laboratory (INL) on behalf of the City. This includes Cyber-Informed Engineering (CIE) which is aimed at implementing engineering controls to reduce cyber-risk. This is the future of cybersecurity; West Yost will integrate these principles into all efforts completed. WORKSHOPS AND STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT Staff expertise is key to the best possible assessment. For this reason, West Yost's workshops are designed to be interactive and collaborative. The following workshops are anticipated: • Workshop 1 —Asset and Threat Characterization(Task 4) • Workshop 2—Cyber-RRA (Task 5) • Workshop 3 —Analysis of Consequences, Vulnerability and Likelihood (Task 6) • Workshop 4—Threat Risk and Resilience Management Strategy Development(Task 8) • Workshop 5 —Emergency Response Planning (Task 10) The workshops will provide opportunities for staff to become practiced in building and maintaining compliance relative to the AWIA requirements, and more generally build understanding of the different types of risks to the City's water system and source of supply. SCOPE OF SERVICES West Yost takes a balanced all-hazards approach that considers prevention, protection, preparedness,response,and recovery needs to address a full range of threats and hazards,including malevolent attacks, natural, technological, and human-caused hazards, and other emergencies.
