Arcadis will work with the City to optimize the approach for the required workshops including defining efficient agendas, timing and key stakeholders. Between workshops, Arcadis will perform analyses, template preparation, and risk assessment documentation to promote efficient completion. Knowledge transfer will be prioritized throughout so that City staff thoroughly understand the methodology and conclusions. Task 1.0 — Risk and Resilience Kick-off Meeting Arcadis will facilitate a kick-off meeting intended to establish project goals, roles, responsibilities, information security, and communications protocols. Attendees will review the proposed schedule, phases, tasks, assumptions, and deliverables. Arcadis will gain an understanding of the information available and how existing materials can be utilized to streamline this effort. For efficiency and to minimize travel costs, and in light of the team's recent work with the City on the Gap Analysis, this meeting be combined with Workshop 1. Task U: Asset and Threat Characterization Workshop Arcadis will facilitate an Asset and Threat Characterization Workshop with internal City stakeholders to confirm the water system's mission and to identify critical facilities, assets and threats. A critical asset list will be developed to identify those assets and facilities to be further considered in subsequent steps. The threat list will identify the malevolent, natural, proximity threats, and dependency threats to be considered for the assessment. Deliverables: * Critical assets and facilities list Threat characterization table Task 1.2: Consequence, Likelihood, and Vulnerability Analysis Workshop Following the first workshop, Arcadis will further investigate the threats that were identified. This includes estimating the likelihood (also known as probability or frequency) that each identified threat will occur. Standard information on frequency and severity of natural hazards from sources such as NOAA and FEMA and local hazard mitigation plans will be used, as well as input on malicious adversaries from local law enforcement. Site visits (described in Task 1.2a) will also be performed to better characterize vulnerabilities of critical assets. Arcadis will use this information to conduct a workshop with City staff to formalize threat asset pairs of concern and to address the corresponding consequences, likelihood, and vulnerabilities. The information gathered by Arcadis will be reviewed, and the worst reasonable consequences that can be caused by the selected threats and hazards on the selected assets, frequency of occurrence, and vulnerability will be explored. Deliverables: 0 Threat -Asset pairs of concern Table documenting consequences, likelihood, and vulnerability assumptions and quantitative estimates Task 1.2a: Site Visits and Documentation In preparation for the workshop and to support subsequent analyses, Arcadis will visit selected facilities and assess existing protective systems of cyber and physical assets. Up to eight facilities will be assessed, one of which will be related to IT systems to support Task 1.3.
