Mr. Eric Volk <br />Re: Proposal for EPA AWIA Requirements for Risk and Resiliency Assessment and Emergency Response Plan <br />February 3, 2020 <br />Page 3 <br />\\barr.com\Administration\Business Units\ED\Proposals\2019\P534.19 City of New Brighton EPA AWIA Plan\Barr-Proposal_EPA AWIA Requirements_20200203.docx <br />The ERP will provide recommendations for how to communicate the information found within the ERP <br />with local, regional, and state-level response services and agencies. In addition, Barr will provide <br />recommendations on how to train City staff on ERP procedures, so the City is well prepared for <br />responding to emergencies. <br />Once the ERP is finalized, the City will submit the certification form to the EPA confirming they have an <br />updated ERP that complies with the AWIA requirements. Again, the ERP itself should not be sent to the <br />EPA. The City’s deadline for submitting certification to the EPA for their ERP is December 31, 2021 or six <br />months after certifying the RRA, whichever occurs first. <br />Key steps, meetings and deliverables we will provide as part of Task 2 include: <br /> Step 1: Barr will conduct a review of the existing ERP, and identify where updates need to be <br />made and if new risks need to be identified and planned for. <br /> Step 2: Barr will update the existing ERP to be in compliance with AWIA requirements and add <br />any additional risks identified in the RRA and submit a draft ERP to the City <br />o Deliverable: the draft ERP <br /> Step 3: Barr and the City will meet to discuss draft ERP and discuss emergency response actions <br />for newly-identified risks, which will be implemented into the final ERP. <br />o Meeting: in-person meeting and site visit <br /> Step 4: Revise ERP and deliver final RRA to City <br />o Meeting: deliver ERP and discuss EPA certification process <br />o Deliverable: final ERP <br />o Deliverable: communication and training recommendations <br />Once the ERP is certified, the City will meet AWIA requirements. <br />2.0 Additional Scope Items (not included in base proposal) <br />2.1 Capital Improvement Cost Estimates <br />There is a portion of the VSAT tool that is optional and is not required to be completed for cities to <br />comply with AWIA. This portion of the tool provides analysis on how to improve resiliency to identified <br />risks. This analysis includes potential solutions and cost estimates for improvement projects, and can be <br />used for future budgeting and planning purposes. If the City is interested in using this portion of the tool, <br />Barr can evaluate whether proposed improvements would qualify for funding using Fund 206, or if the <br />improvements should be funded by the City. Barr can utilize the VSAT and perform this additional Scope <br />for an additional $3,000. <br /> Meetings: One in-person meeting to discuss risk-reduction projects that will improve resiliency
