(ENGINEER) is pleased to provide professional services to The Village of Oak Brook (CLIENT) for the Water System Emergency Response Plan (hereinafter referred to as the "PROJECT"). Project Background As part of Section 2013 of America's Water Infrastructure Act of 2018, community water systems that serve more than 3,300 people are required to complete a Risk and resilience Assessment (RRA) and develop an Emergency Response Plan (ERP). For the Village of Oak Brook, the upcoming deadline for certification of the RRA is June 30th, 2021 and certification of the Emergency Response Plan is six months following the RRA. The Risk and Resilience Assessment acts as a precautionary measure to determine potential threats or vulnerabilities to a water utility system.The Village is currently in the process of completing the RRA,with certification schedule for late May or early June. Every five years, the RRA must be reviewed, and recertification of this review must be submitted to the U.S. EPA along with any revisions to the assessment. The ERP provides a strategic response to each of the vulnerabilities identified within the RRA. The plan should include actions, procedures, and equipment that can be utilized in the event of a malevolent act or natural hazard, or to significantly lessen the impact of a threat to the water system such as alternative water sources. Additionally,the plan should include strategies and resources that can aid in the detection of malevolent acts or natural hazards and improve the physical security and cybersecurity of the system. Whereas the RRA is used to identify existing vulnerabilities that may be addressed through capital projects or policy improvements, the ERP outlines the steps that will be put into action in an emergency event. ERP procedures are specific to each community and will be made available to operators through training and occasionally through binders or pamphlets kept on site. 11 Page Village of Oak Brook Emergency Response Plan yGF Of GA,, April 291h,2021 t e e Scope of Services Our services will consist of customary engineering services described as follows; A.
