Consulting Services - Emergency Management Exercise Development/Evaluation

Collier County is seeking consulting services to evaluate the current Audio/Visual (A/V) and related technology systems that support operations within the County’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and adjoining areas of the Emergency Services Center. The selected contractor will design, conduct, and evaluate a two-session, full-scale hurricane response exercise that utilizes the EOC’s existing A/V infrastructure.
