The Study Contractor will: a. Determine proper security clearance levels and develop nondisclosure agreements for contractors, community stakeholder staff, and Advisory Committee members, as required. b. Gather data and information from secondary research sources (DOD, other Federal agencies, local, regional, and State of Arkansas; Climate studies, NOAA storm & environmental data/models). c. Obtain GIS mapping data on infrastructure to be studied and establish protocol to fill any gaps as required. d. Identify and analyze water and wastewater system treatment, storage, and delivery capability and capacity vulnerabilities to climatological, natural, and manmade threats, including system industrial controls and cybersecurity. e. Identify and develop an inventory of critical electric and natural gas energy loads (including priority and load size) throughout the region that support Ebbing ANGB missions and community safety and health resilience. f. Identify and analyze natural and manmade threats to critical energy delivery systems and energy loads, including climate change, environmental hazards, accidents, and malicious actions by both domestic terrorists/criminals and nation states. g. Propose and analyze options for shared energy generation and distribution infrastructure, including new/redundant substations, microgrid(s), alternative energy (e.g., solar,) distributed generation, and storage to support critical Ebbing ANGB missions and the resilience of community public safety, public order and other critical services. h. Review and analyze transportation system plans pertaining to efficient access to Ebbing ANGB and projected traffic loads, including threats to base access in flooding events and force protection requirements. i. Referencing the Final Environmental Impact Statement, Tab I, EIS Noise Impact, identify threats to public health and safety, analyze impacts on existing medical/nursing facilities, schools, churches, and other high-density land uses, and on residential areas.
