the area to minimize travel costs. Key utility staff with documentation or knowledge of existing information will be included, as identified by the City. 3. Information Gathering. Arcadis will submit a request for information to the City. Through work with other clients on RRA and ERP projects, Arcadis has developed an extensive list of information and documents that may be available which can help meet AWIA requirements. These include the City's existing vulnerability assessments, ERP and asset management program documentation, and a variety of system information including maps, IT architecture diagrams, monitoring practices, financial infrastructure, capital needs, storage and handling of chemicals, cybersecurity policies, and operation and maintenance of the system. 4. Data Review. Arcadis subject -matter experts will review the information collected and identify content that meets AWIA requirements. We will reach out to City staff as needed to clarify and verify information and will request additional materials from the City when necessary. It is assumed that up to four conference calls will be required with specific utility staff to ensure the review is accurate and complete. 5. Gap Analysis Summary. To concisely summarize and convey the findings, Arcadis will populate our Gap Analysis Matrix which identifies areas where sufficient data exists to meet the AWIA requirements, and which areas require additional information or work. A brief summary document describing the process and findings will accompany this Matrix. 6. Gap Analysis Review Meeting. Upon completion of the gap analysis, Arcadis will facilitate a meeting to review the results. Arcadis's local staff will be in person, with national experts joining via Skype. It is Arcadis's goal that by the end of this meeting, City staff will understand the analysis methodology used, why each gap was identified as such, and at a high level how each could be filled to set the City up for the RRA and ERP updates and development. This scope does not include support for filling the identified gaps. A subsequent scope and budget can be developed if desired for Arcadis to work with the City to perform required analyses and develop necessary documentation of the RRA and ERP for ultimate compliance. Schedule Arcadis is prepared to begin work immediately upon written authorization to proceed. Timing will be impacted by the City's delivery of requested information, the amount of information to be reviewed, and timely scheduling of meetings. However, based on similar projects Arcadis anticipates that the project, including the Gap Analysis review meeting, can be completed within two months.
