Alerting Improvement Feasibility Study - UASI 24

The City of Los Angeles is seeking a qualified contractor to produce a comprehensive Alerting Improvement Feasibility Study. The study will evaluate existing emergency alert technologies, research alternative resilient systems (e.g., outdoor sirens, permanent message signs), and provide recommendations on equipment efficacy, optimal installation sites, implementation challenges, and cost estimates—including installation and ongoing maintenance. The work must address multilingual and disability access needs, incorporate community survey results, and align with upcoming major events (Super Bowl 2027, Olympics 2028). Deliverables span from initial assessments and surveys through final reports and presentations to the Emergency Operations Board. • Review current city alerting infrastructure and performance over the past three years. • Conduct a multilingual, accessibility‑focused community survey. • Research and compare alternative alerting technologies (outdoor warning systems, web‑based alerts, etc.). • Identify feasible locations for new equipment, especially near major event venues. • Produce cost‑benefit analysis, installation, and maintenance cost estimates. • Deliver phased reports, presentations, and final feasibility study within a seven‑month contract period.
