Government Authority located in La Vista, Nebraska; USA based organization looking for expert vendor for business continuity and disaster recovery plan services.
[A] Budget: Looking for Proposals
[B] Scope of Service:
Vendor needs to provide business continuity and disaster recovery plan services, when completed, is
to identify the processes and services critical for the City departments to continue providing service to citizens from a technology standpoint. The selected firm is expected to identify applications and systems required and place the recovery efforts into a priority order. The plan is to identify the elements needed (staff, vendors, servers, off-site capabilities, and communications) to begin resuming operations after an event occurs. Where different event scenarios require opposing levels of response or skills, these are to be identified. Sources of third-party support and equipment are to be suggested in the plan. The proposer selected should identify and note processes where manual systems will be required until computer systems can be placed back into operation to the government authority located in La Vista, Nebraska.
a. Project Work Plan and Schedule: As part of the project scope, the selected proposer shall develop and provide the City with a detailed project work plan detailing the confirmed scope of work that will be followed to meet the project objectives. Included with this project work plan shall be a project schedule identifying the dates associated with tasks, deliverables, and milestones for the
project – as well as task predecessors, successors, and dependencies b. Assessment of Current State and Business Impact Analysis (BIA): As part of the project scope, the selected proposer shall perform an assessment of the City’s current business continuity and disaster recovery plans, processes, and policies, including any areas where an absence of one (in whole or in part) might exist. It is expected that stakeholder interviews occur during this stage, which will include Sarpy County I.S. staff, as well as any required facility walk-throughs. The anticipated key deliverable stemming from this stage is a Business Impact Analysis documenting the assessment of City business processes and procedures; identification of essential functions and technologies; identification of areas of risk, and the likelihood of these risks, to business continuity and the applicable risk acceptance/tolerance of the City; identification of operational and anticipated financial impacts resulting from a disruption of business operations; a list of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats from the findings; and recommended actions for the City to take both in the near-term and long-term. The impact analysis should assess the impact on operations of the City as a result of technology not being useable; and take into consideration scenarios where the services are not available. This will facilitate determination of which City functions and services will need to be continued in the event of a disruptive event or disaster, the priority of these functions and services, and how quickly they will need to be resumed following the event. The City also seeks to have the selected vendor compare current disaster recovery capabilities to leading practices and to regulatory requirements and industry standards
c. Development of Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plan: The developed plan should identify, at a minimum, the following: definition of a disaster including when/who/how one is declared; communication plans during a disaster; establishment of a command center; security procedures and guidelines to follow during recovery; relevant Recovery Point Objective and Recovery Time Objectives for critical software applications; the establishment of recovery strategies based upon the gaps identified by the BIA with recommendations of resource requirements to meet relevant timelines; a testing schedule and regimen that prepares the information technology to respond to a disaster scenario (e.g. tabletop exercises and fail-over tests); and requirements for a recovery site and operations should be outlined.
