EXHIBIT A

Part 1 Statement of Work Contractor will act as a neutral third party and will develop and deliver by the delivery dates below three (3) Reports consistent the requirements set forth in Senate Bill 1554. To support development of these Reports, the Contractor will need to use a mixed methods approach that may include quantitative data analysis, qualitative data analysis, focus groups, document review, and online surveys to gather and interpret the information needed to fulfill requirements of SB 1554. Contractor will engage a diverse group of partners, including those that represent communities disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in a culturally and linguistically responsive manner.

Report #1 – Due to OHA by November 1, 2022

(a) Focus on the public health system, including federal, state and local resources and how funding was coordinated between the state, counties and local governments and community organizations.

Within the parameters passed down to OHA and local governments by Congress and FEMA, how did the allocation of federal funds support local and Tribal COVID-19 response activities? How could federal funds allocation and use at the local and Tribal level go more smoothly in the future?

What resources are needed to better implement investments during a significant emergency response?

Possible topics to explore are: mechanisms for determining funding formulas and program elements (scopes of work), timelines for making funds available, disbursements, budget/reporting requirements, flexibility within funding streams.

What are the lessons learned that could be applied in the future?

Possible informants: OHA, Local Public Health Authorities (“LPHAs”), Federally-recognized Tribes (Tribes), Urban Indian Program (UIP), Association of Oregon Counties (“AOC”), Community Based Organizations (“CBOs”), League of Oregon Cities (“LOC”)

(b) Identify efficiencies and deficiencies in the public health system response, areas for improvement and needed investment

What worked well? What system improvements are needed?

What are the lessons learned that could be applied in the future?

What areas should be prioritized for additional investment?

Specific areas to be considered:

· Equity (racial, ethnic, houseless, disabilities, etc.)

· Planning

· Communications

· Personal Protective Equipment (“PPE”)

· Testing

· Vaccination

· Wraparound supports for isolation and quarantine

· Data

· OHA Staffing support

· Use of PH best practices and related enforcement

What assumptions should we have when planning for future public health emergencies, especially in regard to PPE, testing and related supplies, public data sharing, isolation & quarantine, and vaccine distribution given what we learned about federal, state and local approaches and capacities in these areas?

Possible informants: State and local emergency management, LPHAs, Tribes/UIP, AOC, CBOs, LOC, Oregon Department of Education (“ODE”), School districts, Labor unions, Oregon Association of Hospitals and Health Systems (“OAHHS”), Coordinated Care Organizations (“CCOs”), Oregon Academy of Family Physicians (“OAFP”), Oregon Primary Care Association (“OPCA”)

(c) Consider emergency management coordination with the public health system, including distribution of PPE, where vaccines and testing were provided and isolation and quarantine best practices and guidance

In what ways did state and local emergency response coordinate with state and local public health authorities, including for PPE distribution?

In what ways did state and local emergency response coordinate with state and local public health authorities for vaccine distribution and testing?

In what ways did state and local emergency response coordinate with state, tribal and local public health authorities for public information dissemination?

What worked well? What variations were seen in different areas of the state? What statewide improvement could be made?

Possible informants: OHA, Oregon Office of Emergency Management (“OEM”), AOC, LPHAs, Tribes/UIP, CBOs, LOC, OAFP, Local emergency managers

(d) Analyze the enforcement of public health requirements by the state, local governments and schools

In what ways were enforcement mechanisms sufficient or deficient? (i.e. LPHA licensed facilities, United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”), Oregon Department of Human Services (“ODHS”), OR-OSHA, ODE/school districts capacity).

In what ways were LPHA governing bodies (board of commissioners or public health district board) involved with enforcement of public health requirements?

In what ways could state and local interactions be improved to increase adherence to statewide mandates and requirements?

Possible informants: Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OR-OSHA”), OHA, ODE, School districts, Labor unions, Oregon Department of Justice (“DOJ”), LOC, USDA, ODHS

(e) Examine the efficacy of enforcement of pandemic control evidence-based practices, including any statewide public health mandates, at the county and local levels.

To what degree did Oregonians comply with statewide mandates and requirements? Evaluate by different pandemic phases and by geography.

In what ways could state and local policymaking and communications be improved to increase adherence to statewide mandates and requirements?

How was enforcement of masking done effectively or ineffectively?

Possible informants: OR-OSHA, OHA, ODE, School districts, Labor unions, DOJ, LOC, Business Oregon, AOC, CBOs, OAFP, LPHAs, Tribes/UIP

(f) Examine the outcomes related to public health modernization implementation, including the roles that public-private partnerships played and any challenges posed by the current intersection of state and county public health systems.

In consideration of PH Modernization, some LPHA jurisdictions stopped directly providing clinical preventive services such as immunizations. How does, if at all, the pandemic experience inform potential changes to the PH Modernization framework as it relates to Access to Clinical Preventive Services?

Some LPHAs prior to the pandemic relied on community partners to provide clinical preventive services instead of the LPHA providing those direct services. During the pandemic, to what extent did LPHAs use local investments to support existing partnerships (such as those with hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, etc.) for COVID-19 clinical activities, including testing and vaccination, or provide those services directly to meet community needs?

What are examples of local public/private partnerships that filled gaps in response efforts?

How did OHA and LPHA partnerships with CBOs fill response gaps? What were the gaps?

What are the lessons learned from the OHA, LPHA, CBO partnerships that should be applied in the future?

During the second year of the pandemic, one LPHA transferred its public health authority to OHA and in another county OHA was already responsible for public health authority, what role did public-private partnerships play in addressed needs in those specific communities? What lessons were learned to improve response efforts in the future?

Possible informants: Public Health Advisory Board (“PHAB”), LPHAs, Tribes, CBOs, CCOs, OAHHS, OPCA

(g) Compare the health equity outcomes related to the COVID-19 pandemic response, including second-hand health disparities resulting from the increased strain on hospitals, health systems and resources

What were the differences in COVID-19 health outcomes by race, ethnicity, disability, age and geography?

What were the differences in secondary health outcomes resulting from the increased strain on hospitals, health systems and the public health system?

What are the other disparate health outcomes that may have come up during the pandemic that are not directly related to strain on health systems?

Possible informants: CBOs, Tribes/UIP, OHA, OAHHS, LPHAs, OPCA

(h) Engage in a qualitative, in-depth analysis of utilization of resources, differing regulations and enforcement of evidence-based pandemic control practices across the state

In what ways were county responses and enforcement similar and different?

Evaluate any differences by geography.

Possible informants: OR-OSHA, DOJ, ODE, LPHAs, AOC, LOC, CBOs

(i) Assess messaging in general, including whether best practices in public health communication were used during the COVID-19 pandemic

In what ways were communications related to statewide mandates and requirements sufficient or deficient?

In what ways could state and local communications be improved to increase adherence to statewide mandates and requirements?

How well were public health messages made available in multiple languages, to ADA accessibility standards and in plain language?

Possible informants: CBOs, LPHAs, Tribes/UIP, OR-OSHA, ODE, AOC, LOC

Broad review of the COVID-19 pandemic

Include contextual factors affecting the response, such as a presidential election in 2020.
