Notice Description

	Scenario Mission Task Analysis Trade Agreement: Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT) Tendering Procedures: All interested suppliers may submit a bid Attachment: None Competitive Procurement Strategy: Best Overall Proposal Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement: No Nature of Requirements: TITLE: Scenario Mission-to-Task Analysis in Support of Harmonized Planning in Public Safety The subject of this RFP is as follows: Summary The Centre for Security Science (CSS) of Defence Research & Development Canada (DRDC) has a collaborative project with Emergency Management British Columbia (EMBC) Integrated Public Safety (IPS) to demonstrate the value of a science and technology (S&T) structured approach for improving emergency management capabilities. This type of structured S&T approach is usually referred to as operational research (OR), which is the application of scientific techniques to support decision making and planning. The objective of EMBC-DRDC collaborative project is to evaluate options at the municipal and regional levels as applied to their risk assessment and critical infrastructure (CI) programs. There is a strong interdependency between the two programs as one must understand risk to understand risk to critical infrastructure but on the other hand one must understand critical infrastructure vulnerabilities to fully understand risk. This interdependency is reflected in the multi-stakeholder nature of an effective risk management framework for treating priority risks. The initial work in the EMBC-DRDC project examined requirements for EMBC's risk and CI programs and compared this the province's existing programs to identify gaps in the programs. Much good work has already been achieved through the EMBC's Hazard Risk Vulnerability (HRVA) Assessment tool kit. However, a gap was found in that while many municipalities were using the EMBC HRVA tool kit, that there was uneven exploitation of the risk assessments as part of a holistic risk management framework, which is a challenge in a multi-stakeholder environment where there is no senior executive to decide on priorities. To resolve these types of problems, the OR community has found that using scenarios can aid harmonized planning by providing a shared focus for the stakeholders through identify an overarching shared objective of risk treatment for the scenario (i.e., the collective "mission") and to decompose that mission into key tasks that are sufficiently specific that a given task could be undertaken by individual stakeholders with minimal direction. The process is sometimes referred to as a mission-to-tasks analysis. The intent of this work is to examine the utility of scenarios and mission-to-tasks analysis in supporting an effective holistic risk management framework for municipalities. To evaluate the utility the work will involve one small and one large municipality. The specific municipalities will be determined in consultation with EMBC. However, the chosen communities will be ones that have already conducted a risk assessment using the HRVA tool kit or equivalent. Purpose This work, which will take place over twelve (12) months, will evaluate the utility of hazard scenarios and mission-to-tasks analysis in supporting a holistic risk management framework for municipalities that cover the four pillar of EMBC risk management (i.e., Prevention and mitigation, Preparedness, Response and Recovery). The requirement is to exploit existing risk municipal risk assessments for one small (less than 50,000 inhabitants) and one large (greater than 50000 inhabitants) municipality to develop two scenarios for each municipality, confirm the "mission" in each scenario with participating municipal stakeholders, decompose the mission into tasks in consultation with municipal stakeholders and to examine the tasks across all scenarios to identify duplicate and reinforcing tasks to provide an aggregate view of key tasks. The tasks to be carried are as follows: Task 1: Identify scenario "missions" and "mission" objectives Task 2: Develop a measurement frameworks Task 3: Identification of key tasks Task 4: Synthesis of key tasks across all scenarios Task 5: Evaluation of the utility of scenarios and mission-to-tasks analysis The maximum funding available for the contract resulting from the bid solicitation is $200,000.00 (Goods and Services Tax or the Harmonized Sales Tax extra, as appropriate). The identified Project Manager must have a minimum of one (1) year experience, project management or technical experience, within the last five years up to and including the date of submission, in conducting mission to task analysis for complex operations involving multiple agencies. The Bidder must have a minimum of two (2) years experience within the last ten (10) years, measured from date of bid closing, with public safety and security issues or with complex international operations involving humanitarian issues (e.g., disaster response or peace support operations). The Selection Method is to be highest rated proposal within budget. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS NOTICE DOES NOT IMPLY A COMMITMENT BY CANADA OR INDUSTRY TO EXPEND RESOURCES.
