DESCRIPTION

A government authority in Los Angeles, California, seeks a vendor to conduct a feasibility study on improving public alerting capabilities. The study will research and evaluate alternative alerting technologies, including outdoor warning systems that can operate during disasters when cellular service is limited and language barriers may affect communication.

The vendor will develop actionable recommendations for deploying additional alerting technologies, including assessments of effectiveness, suggested installation locations, estimated costs, required numbers of units, and implementation challenges. Location considerations will include major special-event venues, cellular service availability, evacuation access points, mass-gathering areas, high fire severity zones, and tsunami zones. The study will also identify suitable sites for permanent or portable sirens.

The feasibility analysis will assess whether fixed or portable siren systems can effectively alert people outdoors or in areas with limited cellular reception, as well as whether other communication methods could provide more effective redundant messaging. Reviewed technologies must also be evaluated for feasibility and resilience under weather conditions. The impact review will address recommended locations, unit quantities, installation costs, zoning and other implementation issues, and potential follow-on studies, including environmental impact reports. Questions must be submitted by September 1, 2026.
