COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO CONTRACT
AGREEMENT WITH NATIONAL CITY
FOR CITIES READINESS INITIATIVE ACTIVITIES
EXHIBIT A — STATEMENT OF WORK
1 Scope of Work/Purpose
Contractor shall participate in exercises and training annually pertaining to the
Contractor's specific Cities Readiness Initiative (CRI) emergency distribution and
dispensing plan ("Plan") for the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) program. The SNS is
a federally owned cache of pharmaceuticals and vaccines required during certain public
health emergencies (bioterrorism or naturally occurring). These annual trainings and
exercises may include participation in exercises with of other agencies or development of
a functional exercise or drill that pertains specifically to distribution and dispensing
functions of the Contractor's Plan. This plan must be designed to assure that the National
City first responders and their households will be provided with appropriate preventive
pharmaceuticals (prophylaxis) with 48 hours of the decision to do so. Contractor shall
assist the County by completing an After Action Report (AAR) and revising the
Contractor's Plan to include the AAR recommendations for improvement and updates
required. The AAR and revised Plan will be provided to the County no later than August
30, 2007 and preferably earlier. Depending on funding and the specific project, a project
manager with a separate contract with the County may assist the County and the City
with the coordination and completion of the contract's deliverables.
2 Background
The dispensing of antibiotics and /or vaccines to thousands of individuals requires
advanced emergency preparedness planning on the organizational and structural level, as
well as the identification of necessary personnel and physical resources. The National
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Office of Emergency
Preparedness (OEP) with the US Department of Health and Human Services played a
major role in the East Coast prophylaxis efforts for anthrax. The State of Califomia has a
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the CDC for receipt, distribution and
dispensing of the SNS. However, any state, region, or local jurisdiction must face the
possibility that federal resources may not be available to assist if multiple areas require
assets simultaneously. Structured and organized planning at the local level will help
ensure a coordinated response effort that will protect the health and safety of its residents
as well as foster confidence in the public health system's ability to respond to an
emergency.
When a suspected or confirmed act of bioterrorism (or naturally occurring public health
emergency) occurs, it may be necessary to initiate mass prophylaxis operations. The
County Public Health Officer (PHO) is responsible for the overall management of
emergency public health services within the Operational Area during such an event.

COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO CONTRACT
AGREEMENT WITH NATIONAL CITY
FOR CITIES READINESS INITIATIVE ACTIVITIES
EXHIBIT A — STATEMENT OF WORK
1 Scope of Work/Purpose
Contractor shall participate in exercises and training annually pertaining to the
Contractor's specific Cities Readiness Initiative (CRI) emergency distribution and
dispensing plan ("Plan") for the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) program. The SNS is
a federally owned cache of pharmaceuticals and vaccines required during certain public
health emergencies (bioterrorism or naturally occurring). These annual trainings and
exercises may include participation in exercises with of other agencies or development of
a functional exercise or drill that pertains specifically to distribution and dispensing
functions of the Contractor's Plan. This plan must be designed to assure that the National
City first responders and their households will be provided with appropriate preventive
pharmaceuticals (prophylaxis) with 48 hours of the decision to do so. Contractor shall
assist the County by completing an After Action Report (AAR) and revising the
Contractor's Plan to include the AAR recommendations for improvement and updates
required. The AAR and revised Plan will be provided to the County no later than August
30, 2007 and preferably earlier. Depending on funding and the specific project, a project
manager with a separate contract with the County may assist the County and the City
with the coordination and completion of the contract's deliverables.
2 Background
The dispensing of antibiotics and /or vaccines to thousands of individuals requires
advanced emergency preparedness planning on the organizational and structural level, as
well as the identification of necessary personnel and physical resources. The National
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Office of Emergency
Preparedness (OEP) with the US Department of Health and Human Services played a
major role in the East Coast prophylaxis efforts for anthrax. The State of California has a
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the CDC for receipt, distribution and
dispensing of the SNS. However, any state, region, or local jurisdiction must face the
possibility that federal resources may not be available to assist if multiple areas require
assets simultaneously. Structured and organized planning at the local level will help
ensure a coordinated response effort that will protect the health and safety of its residents
as well as foster confidence in the public health system's ability to respond to an
emergency.
When a suspected or confirmed act of bioterrorism (or naturally occurring public health
emergency) occurs, it may be necessary to initiate mass prophylaxis operations. The
County Public Health Officer (PHO) is responsible for the overall management of
emergency public health services within the Operational Area during such an event.
