RFP25-022 EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN UPDAT

The Kenai Peninsula Borough hereby invites qualified firms to submit proposals for acceptance by the Borough to update the 2020 Kenai Peninsula Borough Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), 12 annexes, and create two new annexes: (1) Disaster Help Center and (2) Cybersecurity. The EOP is a living document that provides recommendations to protect life safety, property and the environment to relevant emergencies or disasters on the Kenai Peninsula during response and recovery phases. This project will amend operational procedures to align with response structures as defined by and in adherence with local jurisdictional codes, state statutes and federal regulations. Equity will be evaluated throughout the planning process, ensuring that vulnerable populations and those at higher risk during emergencies are prioritized in operational plans.
