This is Exhibit A, Scope of Basic Engineering Services, referred to in and part of the Short Form of Agreement between Owner and Engineer for Professional Services dated , Scope of Basic Engineering Services The City of South Bend desires to begin taking steps towards complying with the requirements of the 2018 America's Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA). The Bioterrorism Act of 2002 required that utilities complete vulnerability assessments to address physical attacks, as well as develop response plans to implement in case of an emergency. AWIA extends these requirements, and utilities must now plan for and demonstrate resilience for all hazards. These requirements are specific to the City's water system, not including wastewater at this time. As part of the AWIA requirements, utilities the size of the City of South Bend (greater than 100,000 in population) must complete a Risk and Resilience Assessment (RRA) by March 31, 2020 and the required updates to their Emergency Response Plan (ERP) six months following RRA submission. The first step is for Arcadis to perform a gap analysis of relevant existing documentation, which is the focus of this scope of work. Our approach for the full AWIA compliance is to apply water sector best practice methodologies in parallel using a streamlined process, including: • American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/American Water Works Association (AWWA) J100-10 Risk and Resilience Management of Water and Wastewater Systems (RAMCAP) (J100-10 Standard) • AWWA G-430-14 Security Practices for Operation and Management (G-430 Standard) • AWWA Cybersecurity Guidance and Tool • American Water Works Association (AWWA) M19: Emergency Planning for Water and Wastewater Utilities (5th edition) • AWWA G440: Emergency Preparedness Practices • FEMA's Comprehensive Preparedness Guide 101 (CPG-101): Developing and Maintaining Emergency Operations Plans • National Response Framework (NRF) • National Incident Management System (NIMS) As described in the scope that follows, Arcadis will use the City's existing documentation including vulnerability assessments, existing emergency plans, and any available asset management program documentation as the starting point for the gap analysis to evaluate whether current plans, procedures, and data will meet the new AWIA requirements. Based on these reviews, Arcadis will populate the Gap Analysis Matrix to show the City's adherence to each of the AWIA requirements and determine the overall gaps to achieve compliance. The scope of engineering services shall include the following: 1. Project Management. Provide project management including scope, budget and schedule control; project coordination; maintenance of records; project setup, invoicing, and close-out. 2. Vick -off Meeting. Meet with the City to kick off the project.
