The Southeastern Connecticut Council of Governments (SCCOG) is accepting statements of qualifications and scopes of services with associated fee proposal from qualified consulting firms and teams to develop, coordinate, conduct, and evaluate one or more Table Top Exercise(s) to test utility resilience at Submarine Base New London (SUBASE). The Department of Defense Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation (OLDCC) awarded SCCOG an Infrastructure Resilience Grant to fund this Table Top Exercise evaluation of SUBASE utility resilience. Qualified firms will have experience in the areas of emergency response modeling and exercise development, and knowledge of defense industries. This RFQ/P is a combined request for a consultant to design, develop, conduct, and evaluate a TTX to test the Utility Resilience of SUBASE New London, in cooperation with the local communities, utility providers, and state agencies. Working with TTX participants, the consultant will facilitate a threat-based scenario test to "dry run" planned response to utility outages and disruptions. The goal of the exercise is to determine the response actions required on and off base during such events and to identify any gaps in execution. Consultants will produce an after-action report with recommendations. This exercise shall cover water, electricity, gas, communications, and transportation systems. Total cost of consultant services shall not exceed $50,000.00. The TTX is to be held at the SUBASE in a multi-media supporting environment. Once the consultant is selected by SCCOG, it should be prepared to enter into a contract and begin work as directed by SCCOG on or about September 20, 2024. All grant work must be complete per OLDCC deadline by June 30, 2025. SCCOG reserves the right to amend or cancel this RFQ/P, prior to the due date and time, if it is deemed to be in the best interest of SCCOG. SCCOG reserves the right to decide not to consider any or all of the firms submitting information in response to this request.
