America's Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA) of 2018 <br />requires water systems to conduct risk and resilience assessments (RRA), and systems serving a <br />population between 50,000 and 99,999 must submit an RRA to the Environmental Protection Agency <br />(EPA) by December 31, 2020, for review and certification of compliance. Upon receiving certification, the <br />City must update its existing emergency response plan (ERP) by June 30, 2021, to also be certified by the <br />EPA. <br />To achieve these objectives, staff issued a request for proposals (RFP) on March 9, 2020, for "Risk & <br />Resilience Assessment & Update to Water System Emergency Response Plan". In response to the <br />coronavirus pandemic, staff posted multiple amendments adapting submission guidelines and extending <br />the RFP submission deadline. There were seven proposals received by the deadline of May 1, 2020. <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.ore <br />188 <br />
