The deadline to complete updates to the City’s <br />Risk and Resilience Assessment (RRA) is December 31, 2025. The deadline to complete updates to the <br />City’s Emergency Response Plan (ERP) is June 30, 2026. West Yost has previously supported the City <br />in the preparation of its previous RRA and ERP as well as the 2015 and 2020 Urban Water <br />Management Plan (UWMP) projects. West Yost is excited for the opportunity to support the City on <br />this important project and continue our longstanding relationship. <br />Our Approach <br />To support the City in maintaining AWIA compliance, we recommend an update to the City’s <br />RRA continuing to use the AWWA J100 Standard. Since the City last completed AWIA compliance <br />activities, numerous things have changed, as discussed below. <br />Based on our experience and reporting from around the Water Sector, utilities who rigorously apply the <br />AWWA J100-21 Standard in development of their RRA are best positioned to achieve compliance. <br />West Yost’s proven approach to developing RRAs and ERPs will provide the City the necessary time to meet <br />compliance timelines and support of the City’s water system operations. <br />Industry Standards <br />West Yost takes an all-hazards approach to address the full range of potential threats and hazards, <br />including malevolent acts, natural hazards, dependency hazards, and proximity hazards approach that <br />considers prevention, protection, preparedness, response, and recovery needs. To do this, we use <br />industry guidance, resources, and best practices. These include the following from the American Water <br />Works Association (AWWA): <br />•AWWA J100-21 – Risk and Resilience Management of Water and Wastewater Systems <br />(J100 Standard) and associated J100 Operational Guide <br />•AWWA Water Sector Cybersecurity Risk Management Tool and Guidance <br />•AWWA G430-20 – Security Practices for Operation and Management (G430 Standard) <br />•AWWA G440-17 – Emergency Preparedness Practices (G440 Standard) <br />•AWWA M19 – Emergency Planning for Water and Wastewater Utilities, 5th Edition <br />EXHIBIT A <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 0F3360EC-0957-4BAE-961E-506A072901B6
