Summary: In December 2012, the County issued the Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan RFP, and Tetra Tech Inc. was awarded a contract based on established evaluation criteria. On 4/17/2013, the Board of Commissioners approved an agreement with Tetra Tech Inc. to develop the Countywide Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. On 9/10/2014, Cook County Board of County Commissioners approved the Cook County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. To date, we have an 86% Planning Partner jurisdictional plan adoption rate. To ensure success, another aspect of the HMP is creating a program to manage the plan. With proven experience in preparing HMPs and managing planning processes, the Planning Team elects to enter a new agreement with Tetra Tech, Inc.
Regional Inventory Central Hub: Tetra Tech initially developed the Regional Inventory Central Hub (RICH) as part of the Chicago Regional Catastrophic Planning Team (RCPT) initiative. To complete the database application for Cook County, the Tetra Tech team needs funding to manage the final data upload, database migration, testing, and technical support. These final scope items could not be accomplished because no host platform for the RICH database was identified during the RCPT’s Logistics Project period of performance.
This is a Sole Source Procurement pursuant to Section 34-139 of the Cook County Procurement Code.
