About this opportunity

The scope of the work to be performed by the Contractor to support the National Hurricane Program (NHP) in performing a Transportation Analyses for the Southeast Texas Hurricane Evacuation Re-Study. Tasks include: - Coordination/ Project Initiation and Kick-Off (Base Year) · The contractor should maintain steady and direct coordination with the Galveston District. All contractor deliverables will be provided directly to the Galveston District for distribution. All contacts or coordination with non-USACE entities made to satisfy the subsequent tasks will be documented and provided to the USACE Project Manager with summary reports of information provided or received. Contacts or coordination summaries will be provided with each status report when new contact data has been added. - Vulnerability Analysis (Base Year) · The Contractor shall prepare an updated Vulnerability Analysis to identify the facilities that are potentially vulnerable to hurricane-induced flooding, inland riverine flooding, and wind damages under a variety of hurricane and tropical storm scenarios. The inundation maps (storm tide maps) and FEMA floodplain maps produced by the Hazards Analysis should be used to determine which surge vulnerable areas may need to be evacuated in response to a particular coastal storm threat. Evacuation routes should be analyzed to determine if any roadways or bridges are subject to freshwater flooding that could impede evacuating traffic. · Using the data developed above, the Contractor shall support local and state emergency managers in developing new or refining existing evacuation zones. · Evacuation zones serve as the foundational geographic unit to locate and quantify the vulnerable population, provide a base to model traffic movements from one geographic area to another, determine needed shelter capacity, and allow communities to manage the implementation of evacuations ( during certain hurricane scenarios, pre-identified evacuation zones would be evacuated, clearly identifying those who are targeted for evacuation). · New/ refined evacuation zones should have, as much as possible, a coordinated coding, labeling, etc. and can be easily communicated to the public by State and Local emergency managers and the media. The end result shall be a set of evacuation zones that meet the goals of the project. Development of new evacuation zones should consider the following: · Research and development will be conducted to identify and integrate disadvantaged community vulnerabilities throughout the HES, including in the development/ refinement of evacuation zones. Research and development should also identify key strategies and best practices for developing evacuation zones, in partnership with federal entities. · Behavioral Analysis · In preparing hurricane evacuation plans, assumptions must be made regarding the way populations in and around the vulnerable area will react to hurricane threats. These assumptions are necessary for Shelter, and Transportation phases of the HES and overall shelter planning, transportation modeling, and guidance in evacuation decision-making and public awareness efforts. The results of the Behavioral Analysis should be expressed in standardized terms to provide direct, compatible input to the Transportation Analysis. · For this Re-Study, a new phone survey instrument will not be used. Instead, the Contractor should leverage existing Behavioral Survey results and other data sets (if they exist) and coordinate closely with stakeholders to develop a range (low, medium, high) for each the behavioral parameters described above. These behavioral parameters will be used to complete the Shelter and Transportation Analyses, described in subsequent sections. At a minimum, the Behavioral Analysis should quantify (in tabular format and in a summary report): Evacuation Participation Rates, Public Shelter Participation Rates, Response Rates, Destination Percentages (Weights) and Vehicle Usage.
