Emergency Management Training and Exercise Program

San Mateo County is soliciting proposals from qualified contractors to develop and implement a comprehensive Emergency Management Training and Exercise Program over a period of 24 to 36 months. The program's primary goal is to strengthen the preparedness and response capabilities of both city and county employees by providing targeted training and conducting exercises that simulate various emergency scenarios. These scenarios include natural disasters such as wildfires, earthquakes, and tsunamis, as well as cybersecurity threats and other hazards, ensuring a broad all-hazards approach. All activities and exercises must adhere to the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) guidelines, which promote a standardized, scalable, and adaptable framework for emergency preparedness. The project is valued between two and five million dollars and is open for proposals until April 11, 2025. The contract will be managed under a standard agreement template suitable for contracts under $200,000, covering essential terms such as scope of services, payment, contract duration, termination, ownership rights, and indemnification clauses. The primary point of contact for this solicitation is Carolina Salame, reachable via email or phone. This initiative underscores San Mateo County’s commitment to enhancing emergency response capabilities through structured training and exercises aligned with federal standards, ensuring a coordinated and effective approach to managing diverse emergency threats.
