OBJECTIVE The objective of this report is to approve the Contract for Services with URS Corporation, DBA URS Corporation Americas (URS), to produce the West Sacramento Flood Emergency Response Plan.
RECOMMENDED ACTION It is respectfully recommended that the City Council: 1) Approve the Contract for Services with URS, not to exceed $268,760.00, for producing the West Sacramento Flood Emergency Response Plan. 2) Authorize the City Manager or his designee to take any and all actions reasonably necessary to complete the work described in the Contract, including the approval of minor Contract amendments that, in the opinion of the City Manager, will not materially alter the purpose of the Contract, nor increase the total compensation of $ 268,760.00 due under the Contract. 3) Authorize an appropriation of $270,500 in budget unit 256 to account for the revenues and expenditures related to this project.
BACKGROUND In January 2005, Governor Schwarzenegger drew attention to the State's flood problem calling for improved maintenance, system rehabilitation, effective emergency response, and sustainable funding. In a white paper entitled Flood Warnings: Responding to California's Flood Crisis, the Department of Water Resources (DWR) outlined the flood problems that California faces, and offered recommendations for change. Since that time, California has begun a long process of improving flood management systems through DWR's FloodSAFE California program, funded by the Proposition 1E and 84 bonds. This flood preparedness initiative includes four major categories of actions: Improve Flood Management Systems, Improve Operations and Maintenance, Inform and Assist the Public, and Improve Emergency Response. As part of the West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency (WSAFCA), the City of West Sacramento is working quickly and efficiently to face the challenges of stricter flood control standards required by passage of SB-5 in 2006, that must be met by 2025, in the form of major levee improvement projects. WSAFCA has responded quickly with partners from DWR, Central Valley Flood Protection Board and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), to design and construct projects that meet the 200-year level of flood protection required by new state law and new federal levee standards imposed after the Gulf Coast disasters. The City and WSAFCA have leveraged local funds with state and federal government sources to achieve the greatest level of flood risk reduction with available resources.
What is the flood threat? Flooding in West Sacramento could result from a 50-year, 1~O-year or 200-year high-water event; localized drainage problems; or, dam and levee failure. All of West Sacramento lies within the natural floodplain of the Sacramento River. It is the reclaimed land protected from floods by levees and the Yolo and Sacramento Bypasses, which divert water flood flows around the City to the west. Regardless of the level of protection provided by the levees that protect the City, the threat of a catastrophic flood event will remain. With the Sacramento River to the north and east and the Sacramento and Yolo Bypasses to the north and west, West Sacramento is practically surrounded by water during a high-water event. Given the City's relatively flat topography, just one levee break during a high-water event will likely cause the entire city to flood. Such a flood event would undoubtedly cause massive property damage. Contract for Services, URS July 16, 2014 Page 2 of 4
However, with limited evacuation routes to areas outside the City, such a flood could also cause massive human suffering and even death.
What is at risk? The total population in the City of West Sacramento is approximately 49,000. The City has an additional daytime population of 15,000, during work hours. The total assets at risk within the City of West Sacramento are shown in the table below, compiled from commonly accepted sources such as: US Census data, Yolo County Hazard Mitigation Plan, and the City of West Sacramento Geographic Information System (GIS) staff.
Est. Structures Jurisdiction Exposed Population Number Est. Value 734 commercial and residential 19,000 housing City of West 49,000 $3.5 billion Sacramento units (including 1,500 mobile homes)
This area represents a major economic segment of the region, which, in turn, drives growth and prosperity in the Central Valley. A major flood event in the City of West Sacramento would impact highly productive agricultural communities to the north and south of the City, and geographically isolated urban areas within it (e.g, Bryte, Broderick, Central West Sacramento and the Southport areas). Also, critical infrastructure such as the California Highway Patrol Academy and the State of California Medical Supply Warehouse are of both regional and national importance. The reality for the City of West Sacramento, and the region surrounding it, is that major floods have a wide• ranging impact on transportation, communications, and public safety systems even when the flood control system is functioning as designed. The Sacramento River Flood Control Project crisscrosses the City and region, by design, with numerous large floodways carrying heavy flows controlled with levees.Local government within this region provides flood emergency response to approximately 49,000 people, protected by over 50 miles of levee system, located in West Sacramento. When trying to balance the economic importance of the City and region, and the significant flood threat that it faces, against the small-size of the governmental entities that provide public safety services within it, it is clear that an efficient, integrated, consistent response system is a critical need.
Description of the Proposed Project The West Sacramento Flood Emergency Response Plan will address priorities of DWR. All preparedness activities will be implemented in accordance with the Federal Integrated Planning System (IPS), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101 and applicable standards of the California Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS). The Project will integrate all levels of government involved in flood response into the process, in accordance with National Response Framework doctrine and FEMA's Whole Community Concept. The City of West Sacramento Flood Emergency Response Plan will encompass all of the City of West Sacramento and several legal jurisdictions, such as: Reclamation Districts 900 and 537, the Washington Unified School District, WSAFCA, Yolo County Housing, the County of Yolo; and, integral partners, such as: the City of Sacramento, DWR, and USACE. The key objective of the City of West Sacramento Flood Response Plan is to develop sustainable, regional response structures and partnerships through a logical progression of local planning and preparedness activities integrated into the regional framework. The foundation of the Plan is to develop high quality, consistent, local tactical flood emergency action plans for the City, in coordination with jurisdictional partners and the County of Yolo. These plans will have common operating goals and objectives, response actions, and consistent terminology. A user-friendly Geographical Information Systems (GIS) mapping format will facilitate use in the field and simplify State and federal efforts to integrate into local operations. Implementing such a system of consistent, high quality tactical flood fight plans across the region, backed by stronger regional coordination systems is made possible by the City of West Sacramento Flood Emergency Response Plan. The Plan will reflect mutual cooperation already established through past collaborative emergency response efforts, and will be further strengthened by this effort. Such multi-jurisdictional cooperation will ensure public funds are used effectively to achieve overall public safety preparedness Contract for Services, URS July 16, 2014 Page 3 of 4 objectives. It also ensures that the City's, and the region's, residents receive the greatest possible benefits.
The West Sacramento Flood Response Plan Project will be administered by project staff of the City of West Sacramento Fire Department Emergency Services and Public Works Department Flood Protection Division. The Emergency Services Division will collaborate with first responders, Flood Protection and partnering agencies to facilitate planning, assist in project implementation, and oversee all consultant work.
The objective for the West Sacramento Flood Emergency Response Plan is to develop and maintain a regional flood response plan that utilizes existing mechanisms in the Yolo County Hazard Mitigation Plan and the City of West Sacramento Emergency Operations Plan. The specific tasks associated with the West Sacramento Flood Response Project, are: • Prepare a local flood emergency plan to adopt into the local multi-hazard emergency response plan, to ensuring coordination. Collect and exchange flood information (both static and dynamic, real-time) and integrate data into a common operational picture.
• Designate and develop staging areas for use during high water or flood events and provide flood emergency response facilities, such as a backup Emergency Operations Center facility.
• Develop maps, information systems, resource management and decision support tools and processes to effectively respond to high water and flood emergencies. ,. Coordinate flood emergency planning and preparedness, including flood response training, drills and exercises with DWR and neighboring jurisdictions, including regional exercises.
Formally document enhanced processes to effectively coordinate response to flood emergencies through the Flood Operations Center, Cal EMA, Yolo County Operational Area, partnering jurisdictions of West Sacramento and surrounding communities.
• Assist local and regional flood emergency planning, preparedness and response program management, and interagency coordination.
The West Sacramento Flood Emergency Response Plan will make the most effective use of flood fight resources, create a guide for emergency responders during an evacuation-maximizing limited evacuation routes-and, improve flood preparedness in order to reduce in the City, by ensuring coordinated responses to flood threats. Project Deliverables When the Plan is complete, the City of West Sacramento will have a coordinated and multi-jurisdictional plan, developed with stakeholders, to improve evacuation response for a variety of potential levee breach scenarios. Cross-jurisdictional coordination and plan development will make this emergency response plan unique, which in turn will support the broader Sacramento Valley Region. Shared resources, exchange of information, best practices, and the ability to communicate effectively and consistently will be integral to this project. In addition to the City of West Sacramento Flood Emergency Response Plan, the following project deliverables will be part of the overall flood response plan: 1) Flood Contingency Scenario GIS Based Maps 2) City EOC Relocation to High Ground and supporting equipment
The Yolo County Office of Emergency Services took an active role in the development and review of the projects contained herein. The regional coordination of the Yolo County Operational Area will aid implementation of this project to ensure local input and recommendations are included from all stakeholders.
Project SEMS/NIMS Consistency The project planning and deliverables will be coordinated with our partner jurisdictions: Yolo County, DWR, Cal EMA, USACE and FEMA, cooperatively and concurrently. The multi-jurisdictional, coordination will ensure SEMS and NIMS continuity throughout the project implementation and maintenance. Contract for Services, URS July 16, 2014 Page 4 of 4
ANALYSIS The Flood Protection Division and Fire Department Emergency Services solicited proposals from consulting firms for Flood Emergency Response Planning and Scenario-focused, GIS -based [flood inundation] Maps for the City of West Sacramento. Staff advertised the Request for Proposal in the Sacramento Bee for two consecutive weeks and posted the advertisement on the City's website. Consulting firms were given four weeks to prepare and submit proposals. Eight proposals were received on May 23, 2014. Flood Protection and Emergency Services staff reviewed the proposals and invited the five most responsive firms to an interview panel. Following the interview process, Flood Protection and Emergency Services staff determined URS to be the best qualified to perform the work. Subsequent to their selection, staff negotiated a scope of work and fee for their services. In addition to the flood emergency response planning and GIS mapping activities, the scope of work includes public workshops and stakeholder meetings during development and prior to adoption of the plan. The proposed schedule provides for a start of work immediately (July of 2014). Subsequent to their selection, staff negotiated a scope of work and fee for their services. Strategic Plan Integration The 2014-2029 Strategic Policy, Guiding Principle G,"People Feeling Safe and Secure," includes:
• Prepared and timely response to an emergency • People feel and are safe any place, any time of day • Emphasis on prevention, strategy and problem solving • Flood protection The 2014 Strategic Plan Policy Agenda has designated a Flood Protection Strategy, as a High Priority Action.
Alternatives 1.

Flood Response Plan and Development of Scenario-Focused FloodContingency-GIS-Based-Maps May 23,2014
City of West Sacramento Fire Department 2040 Lake Washington Boulevard West Sacramento, CA 95691 Attention: Bill Weisgerber, Special Projects Manager Reference: Proposal for Consulting Services for City of West Sacramento Flood Emergency Response Project: Flood Response Plan and Development of Scenario-focused Flood Contingency• GIS-Based - Maps Dear Me. Weisgerber:
URS is a local, full-service consulting firm with the experience, qualifications, and expertise to develop a concise and actionable Flood Response Plan and Scenario-Focused Flood Contingency - GIS-Based - Maps for the City of West Sacramento.
We understand that this complex and challenging project will take a collaborative approach to ensure success. If selected URS will implement a whole-community framework that promotes collaboration among the City, its partner agencies, and key com• munity stakeholders throughout the planning process. Our proposal outlines an efficient approach that includes tailoring the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) Flood Safety Plan template, leveraging our extensive LeveeEvaluation GIS database, and applying the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Comprehensive Planning Guide (CPG) 101 and other planning tools to organize the planning process. This approach, combined with the expert knowledge of our technical and subject matter experts, will produce a sustainable regional response structure and partnership that will enhance West Sacramento's flood response preparedness and meet the full legal requirements of Assembly Bill (AB) 156 / Water Code 9650. Selecting URS offers the following advantages: Local Presence: We will manage this project from our Sacramento office, which is just across the Sacramento River, less than a 10-minute drive from the Fire Department's office in West Sacramento. This proximity will allow for impromptu face-to-face meetings and team building, as well as virtually immediate accessibility for site visits and field reconnaissance. URS has more than 250 employees in the Sacramento area, including West Sacramento and YoloCounty, so we, too, have a vested interest in the overall safety and security of West Sacramento in the event of a flood. Emergency Planning Expertise: URS' emergency management professionals are very experienced in applying CPG 101 cri• teria having written numerous National Incident Management System (NIMS)- and California Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS)-compliant emergency response and operations plans, and we have a solid understanding of Assembly Bill (AB) 156/ Water Code Section 9650 requirements. We have applied these principles to developing scenario• focused emergency and flood response, evacuation, public outreach, and hazard mitigation plans. Our team is skilled at integrat• ing local and regional stakeholders in planning processes to develop actionable and concise response plans. In addition, our team has developed and delivered many exercisesthat are Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) compliant. Geospatial Solutions: We maintain the DWR Levee Evaluation Point ofInterest (POI) GIS database for all urban and non• urban levees.This database contains more than 9,000 documents and 8,000 POls, covering 1,200 miles oflevees including all of
./ Richgeospatial information on more than 3,000 ./ Aspects of levee geometry explorations/glNT data ./ Locationsof critical assetsand infrastructure ./ Geomorphology ./ Floodplain boundaries ./ Electrical resistivity profiles ./ Topographic and bathymetric data ./ Seepage, stability, erosion, and freeboard data ./ Containment and storage areas ./ Levee centerlines ./ Levee reach boundaries ./ Levee post performance information ./ Flood level failure points ./ A variety of specific Central Valley and Delta characteristics

the levees surrounding West Sacramento. DRS' solutions-oriented team can leverage this database to develop realistic and plausi• ble levee breach scenarios. This database includes the following data:
To illustrate the value of DRS' depth of resources, expert use of cutting edge technology, and elements of its geospatial data, we invite you to examine the sample web application at http://54.241.159.188IWestSacFloodMapsl; it provides an example of our readily available application development capabilities.
DRS understands that effective use of the right technology can help inform the critical decisions that must be made throughout the emergency management process. Having access to real-time information, such as weather data, river stage, and flow informa• tion from a desktop within the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) or from a mobile device utilized by a first responder, can significantly increase the effectiveness of flood crisis response. We believe that the application of this technology, in combination with a flood response preparedness plan, will provide a reliable and consistent means of communication and information dissem• ination to the City, surrounding communities, and its partner agencies.
Experienced Team Leadership: Mr. Paul Jacks, a proven program and project manager and former California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) Deputy Director, will lead the team for this project. He has more than 3 decades of emergency management and first responder experience, and he is thoroughly familiar with the effort and processes required to develop effective and actionable emergency response and operations plans. He has extensive operational experience, having directed state response and recovery operations at the State Operations Center and at Joint Field Offices established after federally declared major disasters and emergencies. While at Cal OES, Mr. Jacks worked on many large-scale flood incidents, where he saw first• hand the need for effectiveplanning and pre-incident preparation. He is well-acquainted with the requirements of SEMS and NIMS, having served as the Chairman of the SEMS Technical Group from 1999-2001 and the chair of the SEMS Recovery Specialist Committee from 1997-1999. His resume, which follows this cover letter, provides more specific information regard• ing his qualifications and experience. DRS is excited about the opportunity to work on this important project for the City of West Sacramento and to provide the City with quality and timely products.

URS Flood Emergency Response Projects' I TOe B. PROPOSED WORK PROGRAM The City of West Sacramento's (City's) Request for Proposal (RFP) identifies the development of two main tasks: (1) Flood Response Plan and (2) Flood Contingency Maps. We have defined a Work Program that responds to the structure of the RFP's requested Scope of Servicesby outlining corresponding tasks, and we also have also identified the points of interdependence between the tasks. This detailed Work Program reflects URS' cross-disciplinary approach to emergency management planning. We understand that the project will require an iterative strategy that draws upon a variety of our staff resources, as well as those of the City, its partner organizations, and its stakeholders. Therefore, we will approach the project as a single, cohesive set of interrelated activities.
TASK 1 FLOOD RESPONSE PLAN URS is committed to developing a Flood Response Plan (Plan) for the City that prioritizes actions and provides a management structure to save lives and protect property. URS understands the importance of complying with the legal requirements of AB 156 / Water Code Section 9650 (as described in Subtask 1.4) and developing a plan that integrates with the City's Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) and the YoloCounty Operational Area Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MHMP). URS understands that all emergencies begin and end locally and it is, therefore, essential that this planning effort encompasses a high level of coordination amongst key local response and emergency management agencies. Our approach adheres to the principles and processes of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA's) Comprehensive Planning Guide (CPG) 101, California Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS), and National Incident Management System (NIMS) to develop a concise and actionable Plan that is vertically and horizontally integrated and increases the City's flood preparedness and response for multiple levee-breach scenarios. URS' Task 1 approach encompasses six subtasks that reflect the six steps outlined in CPG 101, as shown below: 1. Form a Collaborative Planning Team 4. Plan Development 2. Understand the Situation 5. Plan Preparation, Review, and Approval 3. Determine the Goals and Objectives 6. Plan Implementation and Maintenance SUBTASK 1.1 FLOOD RESPONSE PLANNING URS will initiate a project kickoff meeting, consisting of key URS staff and City personnel. This meeting will confirm project goals, tasks, timeline, approach, lines of communication, and deliverables. Following the kickoff meeting, URS will conduct bi• weekly conference calls or in-person meetings with the City Project Manager to review the Plan and geographic information system (GIS) mapping progress, identify potential issues, and resolve questions. URS will also provide a written monthly status report, including information on the project budget, task schedule, and any issues affecting project performance. Following the kickoff meeting, URS will coordinate with the City Project Manager to identify key representatives from City and regional partner agencies that will form a collaborative Regional Project Planning Team that will become an integral part of the Plan development process. URS will continually engage Regional Project Planning Team members throughout the project to ensure a thorough and effective exchange of information and data. URS will schedule and conduct an initial Regional Project Planning Team meeting that will orient the team members to the project's planning process and timeline, as well as identify and document existing flood response roles and responsibilities.
URS recognizes that the process of planning is equally important as the resulting document and is, therefore, committed to facil• itating prodnctive and informative Regional Project Planning Team meetings at key project milestones, as well as document• ing the concepts, decisions, and responsibilities of the team members.

SU8TASK 1.2 ESTABLISH BASELINE FLOOD HAZARD PROFILE URS will develop a flood hazard profile through a combination of data gathering, plan review,and stakeholder interviews. URS will extract information from current plans and existing data pertinent to flood hazards and emergency response (e.g., flood risks, demographics, geographic characteristics). URS will obtain additional information during interviews with regional and local stakeholders that may not be documented, including historical knowledge, knowledge of local topography, and any
URS Flood Emergency ResponseProjects I containment capabilities in the event of a levee breach. URS will integrate this information with the GIS information compiled in Subtask 2.2 to develop realistic levee breach scenarios.
After establishing a hazard baseline, URS will convene a Baseline Hazards and Scenarios Meeting to engage the Regional Project Planning Team. This meeting will provide an opportunity for URS to present and solicit feedback on flood hazards and levee-breach scenarios. The meeting will also verify the City's existing policies and procedures for collecting and exchanging static and dynamic flood information. URS will present and collaboratively develop and refine benchmarks for each levee breach sce• nario, based on local knowledge and capabilities.

SUBTASK 1.3 DETERMINE OBJECTIVES After developing scenarios, URS will define goals and objectives that will produce a successful flood response outcome for West Sacramento. URS' team of emergency management professionals will analyze each scenario's response requirements (i.e., search and rescue, traffic control, public protection, population warning), as well as constraints/restraints associated with natural fea• tures, the built environment, and government regulations. We will then conduct a crosswalk between the scenario requirements and existing emergency response capabilities to identify current planning gaps and corresponding mitigation measure goals and objectives. URS will present its findings at a Regional Planning Team Meeting, during which URS facilitators will solicit input from the Regional Project Planning Team to refine the mitigation goals and objectives, including metrics.

SUBTASK 1.4 DEVELOP THE DRAFT FLOOD RESPOf'JSEPLAN After synthesizing the scenarios, goals, and objectives, URS will develop preliminary Courses of Action (COAs). URS will con• sider response timelines, key decision points, mission critical needs, continuity demands, and operational tasks in developing each preliminary COA. URS proposes convening two COA Workshops to engage the Regional Project Planning Team and present preliminary COAs for review and refinement to translate each COA into specific and identifiable actions that emergency managers can imple- ment during a flood emergency. During these meetings, the Regional Project Planning Team will critically evaluate strengths and weaknesses, and identify areas to improve each COA.
Following the first COA Workshop, URS will revise each COA and conduct a capability assessment to identify resources needed to execute each preferred COA, including personnel, facilities, equipment, and supplies. URS will match each preferred COA to available resources, and further refine the COA, as needed, during the second COA Workshop. Integrating the hazard profile, goals, objectives, and COAs, URS will draft a flexible and adaptable Flood Response Plan. Using a combination of flood response planning templates developed by DWR and San Joaquin County, response plans developed by similar jurisdictions, and local expert knowledge and experience, URS will provide a tailored Plan outline and solicit feedback from the Regional Project Planning Team. To ensure full compliance with AB 156/ Water Code 9650, the Plan will address the following elements:
2 Flood Emergency Response Projects URS ... Mechanism to store materials that can reinforce or protect a ... A floodwater removal plan levee when a risk of failure exists ...

A plan for the evacuation of every affected school, residential care facility for the elderly, and long-term health care facility URS will submit a draft of the Flood Response Plan to the Regional Project Planning Team for a 2-week review period. URS will address each comment and incorporate them, as appropriate, into the draft final to be submitted after Subtask 1.5.

URS will integrate new and existing maps, information systems, resource management, and decision support tools and processes needed to respond effectivelyto high water and flood emergencies.
URS will incorporate tables, charts, and graphs to enhance the plan's functionality. Potential plan enhancements include the following: ... Water tables with prescribed water level triggers for pre• ... Inundation maps with timeline prognostications paredness and response actions ... Evacuation maps based on levee scenarios ... Flood charts with inundation timelines, based on water lev- ... Alternate EOC location(s) and staging areas els, extent of breach, calculated flow and duration URS understands the importance of engaging the entire West Sacramento community in planning efforts. The application of a whole-community public engagement approach will be especially important for addressing public alert/warning and evacuation issues. URS has expertise in implementing innovative communications tools, such as Facebook, Twitter, and SharePoint, to build involvement and awareness in the whole community, which encompasses the general public, and government and private sector entities.
URS will revisethe draft Flood Response Plan to reflect responses to stakeholder comments received during Subtasks 1.4 and 1.5 and provide a copy to Regional Project Planning Team members for circulation, review,and comment during a 2-week review period. URS will consider all reviewer comments, and the Regional Project Planning Team will be the final arbiter of significant comments. To ensure quality control (QC) and comprehensiveness, URS will document and track all comments and responses on a comment matrix. URS will facilitate a meeting with the Regional Project Planning Team to discuss comment responses and to review the revised Plan.
• Meeting notes I 1 week following the Plan Comment Meeting Draft Final Flood ResponsePlan 2 weeks following the Plan Comment Meeting SUBTASK 1.6 IMPLEMENT AND MAINTAIN THE PLAN Because planning is a continual process, the Flood Response Plan must include a framework for periodic revisions and updates as lessons are learned, new information and insights are obtained, capabilities are gained or lost, and/or roles and responsibili• ties changed. Accordingly, URS will add a Plan Maintenance Appendix to the Plan, which will include a schedule for flood response training, exercises,and plan updates. URS recommends that a regional flood-planning group be established to address the full planning cycle, including maintenance. To validate the Plan, URS recommends that Training on the Plan and the Table Top Exercise (TTX) be conducted as a com• bined, one-day session for the City, partner agencies, and others involved in a flood response in West Sacramento. While the
URS Flood Emergency ResponseProjects 3 training will cover basic SEMS/NIMS concepts, the primary focus would be on how the City and partner agencies will operate, coordinate, and communicate as reflected in the Flood Response Plan. In collaboration with the Regional Project Planning Team, URS will convene an Exercise Design Team (EDT) to support the development of the training and the TTX. The development process will include an Initial Planning Meeting (IPM) and a Final Planning Meeting (FPM). A Midterm Planning Meeting (MPM) could be included, if necessary.The IPM will establish the TTX objectives, identify participants, and begin developing the scenario. URS will work with the EDT throughout the TTX planning process and facilitate an FPM to ensure that the Training/TTX documents and logistical requirements are ready for conduct. URS will produce the following core TTX documents: ~ Situation Manuals (SirMans) ~ Facilitator/Evaluator Handbooks ~ Participant Feedback Forms ~ PowerPoint presentation
URS will collect and record data from facilitators and evaluators and a post-exercise "horwash." URS will analyze the data and prepare an HSEEP-compatible draft After-action Report I Improvement Plan (AARlIP) identifying both strengths, areas for improvement, and corrective actions. URS will facilitate an After-action Meeting (AAM) to present the EDT with a draft of the AARlIP and solicit their recommendations to finalize it. URS will then revise and finalize the Plan based on recommendations identified in the AARlIP. URS will document significant recommendations, which fall outside of the scope of this project, in a Summary and Recommendations Report for implementation in future planning cycles. Following this final revision, URS will present the final Flood Response Plan to the appropriate officials and organizations, as directed, for signature and promulgation. URS will assist the City, as directed, in adopting the plan into the Operational Area MHMP and City EOP. Once approved, URS, in conjunction with the City, will distribute the plan to stakeholders that the Plan identifies as having a role in flood response.

URS has successfullyintegrated this information into functional and collaborative geospa• rial products that public agencies have used to manage existing resources effectivelyandlor plan for potential impacts to them. URS will engage with representatives from the multi-agency alliance and will use the best available hydrologic and hydraulic models and data to ensure that all mapping products (static and dynamic) provide that greatest level of utility possible. Our Technical Mapping Team has been successfullyproviding critical geospatial flood and emergency management solu- tions for more than a decade. Collectively,we have more than 100 years of experience working with the DWR, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), various reclamation districts (including Reclamation Districts 900 and 537), YoloCounty, West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency, and the Cities of Sacramento and Davis to enhance the utility and accessibility of emer• gency management mapping resources. SUBTASK 2.1 ESTABLISH GIS MAPPING CRITERIA To establish effective GIS mapping criteria for scenario-focused flood contingency mapping, the Technical Mapping Team will participate in Regional Project Planning Team meetings (seeSubtask 1.1). This coordinated effort will result in valuable insight gained from the development of a flood hazard baseline, assessment of threat risks, and establishment of current planning status benchmarks from Subtask 1.2.
4 I Flood Emergency Response Projects DRS The Technical Mapping Team anticipates that once URS interviews stakeholders, subject matter experts, and local authorities, and captures and assesses critical information (Subtask 1.2), the Technical Mapping Team can begin to establish viable mapping criteria used to inform the identification of levee breaches and resulting scenarios. We will use that information in conjunction with the Levee Evaluation GIS database, which contains more than 9,000 documents and 8,000 POls covering 1,200 miles of levees, including all of the levees surrounding West Sacramento. This database includes the following information to augment the establishment of GIS mapping criteria for scenario based flood contingency mapping:
~ Rich geosparial information on more than 3,000 ~ Locations of critical assets and infrastructure explorations/gINT data ~ Floodplain boundaries ~ Geomorphology ~ Topographic and bathymetric data ~ Electrical resistivity profiles ~ Containment and storage areas ~ Seepage, stability, erosion, and freeboard data ~ Levee past performance information ~ Levee centerlines ~ Flood level failure points ~ Aspects of the levee geometry Collectively, this data enhances our ability to establish GIS mapping criteria, devise and evaluate potential flood contingency mapping scenarios, inform risk analyses, and provide critical information for the City's comprehensive flood response plan, . To help facilitate the establishment of these GIS mapping criteria among the Regional Project Planning Team and project stakehold• ers, we will generate a series of high-resolution map books covering the levees surrounding West Sacramento to illustrate levee reaches and sub-reaches that:
~ Do not meet stability analysis criteria for the 200-year .... Do not meet erosion screening (velocity and wind-wave) water surface elevation criteria ~ Do not meet seepage analysis criteria for the 200-year water ~ Have a medium or high erosion risk surface elevation ~ Have past performance issues (e.g., boils, breaches, ero• ~ Do not meet freeboard assessment criteria for the 200-year sion, seepage, slides) water surface elevation ~ Show areas of significant differential resistivity [ohm-m] These maps-in combination with stakeholder interview feedback and identified flood hazards, threat risks, and benchmarks• will define and establish the mapping criteria for the flood contingency mapping scenarios identified in Subtask 2.2.

SUBTASK 2.2 DEFINE MAP SCENARIOS After establishing the mapping criteria (Subtask 2.1), URS will work with the City to identify and define the types of flooding scenarios the City most likely would encounter, as well as locations that have high probability for breach, and will make recom• mendations to the Regional Project Planning Team for flood contingency response scenarios along the following levees: .... Sacramento River Levee (North) ~ South Cross Levee ~ Sacramento River Levee (South) ~ Deep Water Ship Channel (DWSC) LeveeEast ~ Port Levee (North) YoloBypass Levee .... Port Levee (South) Sacramento BypassSouth Levee To define this process and identify locations along the City's levee system with a high probability of failure, URS will review the CVFED HEC-RAS and Flow 2D model's breach simulations for the 200-year flood event. URS will then run the CVFED HEC-RAS and Flow 2D model breach simulations for the 200-year events on the leveesoutlined above. URS will then extract the model results (including the ID hydrographs, which chart the inundation timelines and associated 2D temporal contour intervals) into GIS to allow the mapping process to begin. Our experience in developing levee reliability data for the CVFED program, based on the geotechnical information and fragility curves we developed for DWR's Urban Levee Evaluation (ULE) program, will help us evaluate these breach locations for accu• racy. In addition, our flood inundation mapping experience on projects such asThe Delta Risk Management Strategy will allow us to efficiently and accurately develop data and enable our GIS staff to produce inundation maps. This data includes timeline prognostications; rescue, staging, and evacuation maps; socioeconomic impact maps; structures and real property impact maps;

SUBTASK 2.3 FINALIZE GIS MAPPING CRITERIA AND SCENARIOS FOR TeCHNICAL TEAM Utilizing a combination of the established mapping criteria, mapping scenarios, flood modeling, historic data, and identified breach locations, URS will finalize these datasets by performing a thorough quality assurance (QA) and QC check on all tech• nical data used in the levee evaluation and modeling scenarios and will recirculate the accumulated mapping, feedback, and technical documentation to the Regional Project Planning Team and designated stakeholders for evaluation and final comment before submitting data to the Technical Mapping Team. At this milestone, the maps and/or the technical documentation gathered must include data that will allow the maps (both static and dynamic) to show logistical and command procedures for joint flood operations as well as pre-identified options or locations for possible containment of floodwaters in the event of a levee breach. URS will develop and identify a list of locations or poten• tial systems where floodwater containment is a viable option. Based on this list and recommendation, URS can also develop sup• plemental designs for floodwater containment based on additional hydraulic modeling that can be incorporated into the Flood Response Plan.

Utilizing the GIS layers developed from Subtask 2.3, URS will develop a series of draft scenario-focused flood contingency maps for each scenario type and location; the flood contingency maps will identify the following information: ~ Topographic elevation ~ Levee centerlines, reach boundaries, stationing, and mile ~ Maximum flood depth markers ~ Time to I-foot flood depth ~ Gage stations ~ Emergency planning sub-areas ~ Levee monitoring agency ~ Floodwater containment areas Additionally, URS will coordinate with the City mapping designee to facilitate base map production and implement a consistent and standardized mapping template that all flood contingency maps will utilize. URS will develop and submit a draft base map template to the Regional Project Planning Team for review and comment. Figure template requirements including, but not lim• ited to, symbols, legend aesthetic, scale, standard use limitations, and/or caveat statements, logos and graphics, fonts, general car• tographic approach, and data displayed will be incorporated into the draft document. A final base map template will be resub• mitted for review and acceptance. If the Regional Project Planning Team has no further comments, the template will be adopted as final. URS will also ensure that proper projection, metadata, file, and map document naming conventions, file/data transfer package formats, and map document/geodatabase versions have been agreed to and standardized prior to task commencement in order to ensure consistency and seamless integration into any pre-existing City or stakeholder GIS enterprise/server architecture.
URS will develop a web-based geospatial application that will allow the City and its partner emergency response agencies to con• trol break locations, identify rescue and evacuation areas, flood depths, access real-time river stages, view real-time weather pat• terns, critical facilities, and evacuation routes for each of the breach scenario locations that have been identified under Subtask
6 Flood Emergency Response Projects DRS 2.3. The web application will contain functionality including but not limited to identify, query, select, search, geocode, zoom, pan, print, street view, measure, draw, edit, base map selection, and export.
This web application will function across multiple browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome) and can be embedded within an existing emergency response platform such as Digital Sandbox-7 or WebEOC. Because effective emergency response must include the ability to access critical data at the emergency event site or at a locale beyond the office, URS will also create a mirrored HTML5 version of the same web application that is specifically designed to function in the field on mobile (smart• phone) or tablet-based devices where cellular service exists.
The web application will utilize a technology stack, which takes into consideration the City's Emergency Planning in-house infrastructure, budget, and capabilities. This technology stack can be wholly proprietary (based on Esri ArcGIS Server technol• ogy), free and open sourced (GeoServer, PostGIS, leaflet.]s), or a combination of both. The critical aspect being that the web application is accessible,lightweight, easy to maintain, and provides a comprehensive geoweb infrastructure solution. The City has the option of hosting the application off-premises with a third-part vendor, within its own internal GIS enterprise/ infrastructure, or hosting the web application within URS' own secured cloud platform environment. With off-premise hosting, URS staff will coordinate with a vendor of the City's choosing, as required, to stand up and roll-out the web application. IfURS or the City host the web application within their own respective internal GIS enterprise/infrastructure, then URS will assume that access and necessaty permissions needed to build the required application shall be provided (by URS) or granted (by City) as appropriate. To effectively demonstrate our readily available application development capabilities, URS invites you to examine the following sample web application: http://54.241.159.188IWestSacFloodMaps/.
This sample web application is built using HTML5 for the front-end. This, essentially,is a combination of hrrnl, JavaScript and CSS. The map display uses leaflet.js, an open-source JavaScript API. The data is served from ArcGIS Server,but it could be served in many other ways, some of them much more lightweight and free. Please note that our sample web application is opti• mized to run on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or IE 9+. The data being displayed within our sample web application utilizes existing data prepared and submitted to DWR in support of the Urban Levee Geotechnical Evaluation Program (for West Sacramento) and from data that was extracted from the City's two existing levee failure locations (North Area and Southport Area; based on a 1DO-yearflood event) currently accessiblehere: http://www.cvfpb.ca.gov/meetings/2012/032312ltem7A_18313_DEIR.pdf. While the sample web application is not a complete representation of the final product deliverable, it is our intent to accurately demonstrate our capabilities, commitment, and understanding of the City's need for an effective web application solution that will enable city and county staff across multiple departments to come together on one platform in order to effectivelymanage a flood crisis utilizing cutting edge technology with maximum efficiency and intuitive functionality.
