Feasibility Study Services

The City of Los Angeles Emergency Management Department is seeking a contractor to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study on emergency alerting capabilities. The agency needs to evaluate localized geographic vulnerabilities, specifically focusing on high-congestion areas, coastal zones, and high-risk wildfire corridors where cellular alerting may fail during emergencies. To solve this potential communication gap, the project requires assessing the functional and acoustic efficacy of utilizing a radio-triggered, permanent outdoor siren system in these high-risk locations. The scope of work covers identifying appropriate installation sites for permanent sirens while accounting for environmental impacts, physical obstacles, and infrastructural concerns. The selected contractor must lead project coordination efforts, fact-finding sessions, and regular check-ins with city officials and the Emergency Management Department. Additionally, the agency requires the drafting, revising, and presenting of a comprehensive physical and web-based alerting feasibility study in collaboration with city review groups and stakeholders. Only United States organizations are eligible to bid on this opportunity. The agency allows the performance of the work to be conducted offsite. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 29, 2026. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for cost proposals from bidders.
