Subject: Disaster Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery Programs for the State of Nebraska (Solicitation no: 123919 O5)

Dear Evaluation Committee, We are grateful for the opportunity to stand alongside Nebraska as a long‑term partner in community resilience. Our commitment is simple:

bring local faces and 4 decades of national Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) expertise, including in Nebraska, to help Nebraska lead a lifecycle program—from mitigation and preparedness to response and recovery—built on strong governance, transparent reporting, and audit‑ready delivery aligned to your state needs.

Technical Expertise & FEMA Experience—Applied to Nebraska’s Needs. Jacobs brings proven FEMA program delivery across Public Assistance (PA), Individual Assistance (IA), and Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA), with repeatable methods for eligibility, documentation, inspections, cost estimation, and closeout that protect funding and accelerate recovery. We pair that experience with Nebraska‑specific field knowledge and FEMA program delivery—from southeast sandy‑loam road conditions to culvert hydraulics and construction oversight—so every site decision is both locally informed and federally compliant. Our teams have earned positive applicant feedback on Nebraska recovery assignments and maintain a disciplined reporting culture that keeps progress visible. Our team has also supported FEMA in developing Version 5.0 of the Public Assistance Program and Policy Guide (PAPPG) including expanding mitigation measures in Appendix J. What this means for Nebraska: faster, cleaner recoveries;

fewer reworks and deobligations; and competent and efficient application of FEMA-approved tools and policies for applicants and sub-recipients to navigate policy and documentation at pace.

Local Experience, Presence, & Relationships—Community Dedication in Action. Our approach centers on local people and community engagement. Jacobs’ Omaha office and Nebraska staff provide familiar leadership and on‑the‑ground coordination with cities, districts, and local authorities. We reinforce this with community participation and reporting under the city’s Economic Equity & Inclusion Program, reflecting a sustained commitment to Nebraska’s social value goals.

What this means for Nebraska: trusted local relationships, faster applicant support, and resilience planning rooted in the needs of Nebraska communities by meeting applicants where they are when dealing with a devastating disaster.

Resource Reach Back & Subcontractor Teaming Strength—Flexible Capacity, Strong Governance. In addition to our existing depth of experienced and qualified FEMA resources, our subcontractors are established partners who have worked with us on FEMA response and recovery assignments and provide immediate surge capacity. We have the flexibility to add qualified firms as needs evolve, supported by our internal systems that accelerate onboarding while confirming Health, Safety, Proposal Key:

1.7

j. CONTRACT PERFORMANCE If the bidder or any proposed subcontractor has had a contract terminated for default during the past ten (10) years, all such instances must be described as required below. Termination for default is defined as a notice to stop performance delivery due to the bidder’s non-performance or poor performance, and the issue was either not litigated due to inaction on the part of the bidder or litigated and such litigation determined the bidder to be in default.

It is mandatory that the bidder submit full details of all termination for default experienced during the past ten (10) years, including the other Party's name, address, and telephone number. The response to this section must present the bidder’s position on the matter. The State will evaluate the facts and will score the bidder’s solicitation response accordingly. If no such termination for default has been experienced by the bidder in the past ten (10) years, so declare.

k. If at any time during the past five (5) years, the bidder has had a contract terminated for convenience, non-performance, non-allocation of funds, or any other reason, describe fully all circumstances surrounding such termination, including the name and address of the other contracting Party.

Response:

Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. was terminated for default in August 2020 by the Procurement Office of the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). The basis for the termination was a dispute over a real estate license requirement.

In August 2020, the Procurement Office of ADOT notified Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (Jacobs) of its intent to terminate On-Call Acquisition and Relocation Services contracts (CTR049970 and CTR049971) for default due to a disputed real estate brokerage licensing requirement. Jacobs has been in the process with ADOT of correcting this administrative default and securing rescission of the notice. No TOs had been requested or issued under the subject On-Call.

Jacobs has delivered world-class engineering services with ADOT for more than 30 years and continues to win new contracts and deliver many projects with ADOT. This termination is not expected to have a material adverse effect on Jacobs Engineering Group Inc.

or on the business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows for the company.

Our proposed subcontractors declare they have not had a contract terminated for default in the past 10 years.

Project Description and Services Provided

Under Public AssistanceTechnical Assistance Contract (PATAC) V, Jacobs supports FEMA’s PA program, which provides supplemental federal disaster grant assistance for emergency protective measures, and the repair, replacement, and restoration of disaster-damaged, publicly owned facilities and facilities of certain private nonprofit organizations. The program also encourages protecting damaged facilities from future events by providing assistance for hazard mitigation measures during the recovery process. CCPRS (Jacobs) leveraged our Resource Reach Back & Subcontractor Teaming Strength to assemble a team of 157 resources to respond to disasters in FEMA Region VII (Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, and Kansas) as requested. The team assembled included construction managers, management analysts, construction/building inspectors, civil engineers, structural engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, soil/geotechnical engineers, hydrologists, project managers for 406 mitigation, project managers for environmental and historic preservation (EHP), architectural historians, biologists, archaeologists, environmental planners, certified floodplain managers, and technical assistance coordinators (TAC). Under this TO, Jacobs provided Technical Expertise & FEMA Experience consisting of comprehensive technical and operational support for directly delivering FEMA’s PA program, including site inspections, field technical services, and program delivery managers. FEMA requested 157 resources, we presented 157 resources but only 95 were deployed due to workload needs shifting. Jacobs provided staff to both Lincoln and North Platt. Throughout the performance period, we consistently received positive feedback from FEMA Task Force Leaders (TFLs) and applicants. FEMA requested TACs to extend beyond their scheduled demobilization because of exceptional performance. Multiple TFLs and applicants recognized the high-quality technical support provided, and FEMA noted that our personnel integrated effectively into FEMA teams;

demonstrated strong technical competence; and consistently showed dedication, flexibility, and mission focus in supporting disaster-impacted communities across FEMA Region VII.

15,413 maintenance issues and completing 22,782 preventive maintenance inspections. Our call center implemented a mass communication text messaging system for communicatin with all applicants for emergencies. For example, during Hurricane Ida’s landfall, which impacted the project area, a mass text message was sent to all occupants about staff availability for responding to maintenance issues during the storm. After the storm, we quickly prioritized issues and responded accordingly while keeping staff safe and out of harm's way.

Jacobs assigned a full-time operations manager (FTOM) for continued operations who coordinated with the FEMA COR to identify and work through numerous challenges during this disaster. Through TO management, the FTOM collaborated closely with FEMA to resolve applicant issues, support Hurricane Ida response, and complete authorized additional out‑of‑scope tasks, earning feedback such as “The guys did a fantastic job! Thank you all for the assistance.” and “Thanks for all your hard work!”

Contracts management focused on maintaining compliance with the contract and verifying our responses to FEMA’s requests were accurate, complete, and timely. Our contracts manager maintained open communication and an excellent working relationship with FEMA COs and CORs, resolving contract/TO matters in a way that benefited both FEMA and Jacobs. FEMA’s Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) rated us “Outstanding,” and applicants praised the team, including: “Applicant’s mother said that FEMA has the best maintenance staff that anyone could ask for!”

Contract management maintained 24/7 coordination with FEMA COs to confirm compliance, timely responses, and successful contract extensions, while customer satisfaction surveys—over 225 completed—yielded a 99.03% average rating, with applicants, noting “Passionate worker who takes the time to listen. Gets things done,” “Really blessed to have this mobile home to keep my family warm and safe,” and “Very impressed with maintenance. Very pleased with all you do.”

Project Description and Services Provided

Arcus Consulting Group, LLC, provided comprehensive technical assistance in support of CCPRS and the FEMA PA program to help eligible applicants and FEMA staff throughout the disaster recovery lifecycle, delivering Technical Expertise & FEMA Experience.

The scope of work included 19 major disasters, 123 TOs, and 69 staff deployed across 18 states and territories (CA, NM, TX, MO, IA, NE, LA, NC, TN, PA, WI, FL, VA, DC, NJ, NY, Puerto Rico [PR], and the U.S. Virgin Islands [USVI]); delivering subject matter expertise in PA policy, regulations, and guidance; supporting applicant outreach, training, and technical briefings; assisting with project formulation, documentation, and eligibility determinations; and supporting development, review, and validation of project worksheets or equivalent documentation.

Arcus brought deep hazard mitigation expertise across critical infrastructure systems—including water/wastewater, power, schools, housing, hospitals, and marine structures—verifying that Nebraska projects met applicable technical and regulatory standards while aligning with FEMA mitigation policy and cost-effectiveness requirements.

Arcus also supported grants management activities; confirmed compliance with federal requirements (including environmental, historic preservation, and procurement standards); and performed QA activities to promote accuracy, consistency, and timeliness.

Services were performed in support of response, recovery, mitigation, and closeout activities and were delivered on-site, remotely, or in hybrid environments as required by FEMA. Exemplifying our Resource Reach Back & Subcontractor Teaming Strength, in total, Arcus deployed 30+ staff within 2 weeks and 50+ staff within 1 month.

Arcus staff conducted comprehensive site inspections to validate infrastructure damage caused by springtime snowmelt and heavy rains that resulted in widespread flooding across Nebraska. Roads, bridges, and culverts were washed out, disrupting rural livelihoods and critical transportation networks used to move agricultural commodities. The team traveled extensively to reach remote, heavily impacted communities where hundreds of roadway systems in some counties needed repair or replacement. Inspectors worked closely with local highway departments and applicants to verify all damaged sites were accurately identified and documented to fully restore transportation infrastructure.

During site inspections, the team quantified and documented disaster-related damage, including debris impacts, and prepared detailed damage descriptions that included photographs and site sketches. They developed scopes of work and cost estimates for large projects, complying with applicable laws, regulations, policies, and relevant codes and standards while also identifying special consideration issues. Inspectors coordinated with other PA staff, obtained applicant concurrence on documented damages, and delivered completed inspection packages to the Site Inspection Task Force Leader and Program Delivery Manager in a timely manner.

All site inspections and cost estimates were completed within 8 months to support recovery and rebuilding efforts across the affected regions.

Project Description and Services Provided

Between April and June 2025, Flux Resources, LLC, supported Jacobs (CCPRS) on PATAC IV and V providing assistance for FEMA disasters across the U.S. with 406 mitigation, hydrology, soil/geotech engineer, program delivery management, and historical architecture. This included Local Experience, Presence, & Relationships through three federally declared disasters in the state of Nebraska—DR‑4778‑NE, DR‑4786‑NE, and DR‑4808‑NE. These events brought widespread severe storms, straight‑line winds, tornado activity, and flooding across multiple counties. Impacts included rural roadway washouts, damage to water control facilities, power infrastructure disruptions, structural damage to public buildings, and significant debris generation affecting local jurisdictions already resource‑constrained from previous events in the region. Leveraging Technical Expertise & FEMA Experience, Flux deployed experienced specialists across PA, IA, HMA, and grants management functions. Our work supported local applicants and the state, maintaining accurate documentation, rapid mobilization, and compliance with FEMA requirements under the Stafford Act.

Project Description and Services Provided

NDRtac successfully supported FEMA’s PA, IA, and Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) programs by deploying qualified consultants and managing multiple TOs through closeout. Under PATAC III and IV, they provided disaster recovery services across 10 states and territories—including NE, IA, MO, TX, FL, NM, NY, NJ, PR, and USVI—following major events such as severe flooding and Hurricanes Sandy, Harvey, and Irma. Leveraging their Technical Expertise & FEMA Experience, their teams supported every stage of the recovery process, from preliminary damage assessments through closeout, leveraging a diverse cadre of FEMA‑experienced specialists trained in both technical requirements and customer service. All personnel were fully vetted through background checks and security‑clearance badging and equipped with the tools needed to deliver compliant recovery support quickly. During the 2017 sequence of Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria, NDRtac’s continuous recruiting pipeline enabled rapid mobilization—filling hundreds of resource needs across TX, FL, PR, and USVI within days.

To deliver comprehensive, end‑to‑end disaster recovery support, our team worked with Jacobs to deliver Resource Reach Back & Subcontractor Teaming Strength by deploying a diverse group of specialized professionals whose combined expertise provided technical accuracy, regulatory compliance, and efficient project execution. This included financial and analytical specialists who strengthened documentation and grant compliance, architects and civil and electrical engineers who provided technical assessments and design‑level support, and environmental and EHP experts who maintained alignment with federal standards. Our recovery personnel—including disaster recovery specialists, IA, and hazard mitigation professionals, program delivery managers (PDMGs), PA liaisons, and site inspectors—worked directly with applicants to assess damages, formulate eligible projects, and guide sub‑recipients through the full FEMA lifecycle. Closeout and auditing experts contributed to clean, defensible files and expedited obligations, while project managers and Consolidated Resource Center (CRC) staff maintained coordinated communication, proactive issue resolution, and streamlined workflows. Together, this multidisciplinary team delivered a high‑value, integrated approach that improved accuracy, accelerated timelines, and made sure applicants received the full benefits of FEMA programs with confidence and clarity.

No Response Required:

We’ve teamed with three subcontractors (summary information provided in Exhibit D below)to provide additional surge support and capability to respond to any disaster support needs. This approach has been very effective for the FEMA PATAC contract—we’ve been extremely successful in fulfilling large staffing requirements with rapid deployments.

Our subcontractor partners include Arcus (veteran-owned small business [VOSB]), Flux, and NDRtac. We’ve successfully partnered with Arcus and NDRtac since 2012 and with Flux since 2019 in delivering FEMA PA disaster recovery work. As a result of our longstanding relationships and partnerships, we can efficiently ramp up to meet staffing needs with no learning curve. All three of our subcontractors have the staff capacity and capabilities to fill required roles. We’re not constrained by a specific number of hours per subcontractor but will work with the team to identify and deploy the best resources to meet disaster response needs.

As an example, in response to March 2019 floods in Nebraska (DR-4420-NE), Arcus and NDRtac provided staff to support the Jacobs PA team and all three subcontractors provided staff for the Region VII PA response that included the April–June 2025 floods in Nebraska Declared Disasters (DR-4778, DR-4786, and DR-4808-NE).

TECHNICAL RESPONSE

2.1

Describe bidder’s process for providing PA technical services.

The bidder should address the following:

i. Bidder’s process for reviewing projects for sub-recipients not yet obligated by FEMA

ii. Bidder’s process for reviewing projects for sub-recipient(s) after obligation to ensure eligible payments made to sub-recipient(s) and smooth closeout process

• Bidder’s process for working with sub-recipients to ensure needs of project are met (Please provide at least one narrative description of previous work with a sub-recipient)

Response:

Disaster planning, response, and recovery environments are complex and have compressed timelines and increasingly expanding intergovernmental roles. While federal disaster programs such as FEMA’s PA framework continue to provide critical guidance and funding pathways, states are increasingly assuming greater operational responsibility, making faster decisions, and managing heightened compliance risk amid uncertainty. In this context, Nebraska’s ability to deliver timely, accurate, and defensible recovery outcomes depends on scalable capacity, technical rigor, and adaptable delivery models that are effective regardless of the level or structure of federal involvement—this is the core of our expertise.

Jacobs’ approach to PA and recovery support is intentionally designed to strengthen NEMA’s ability to lead, coordinate, and execute recovery activities across response, recovery, and planning phases. Rather than relying on rigid, dependent processes, Jacobs provides integrated technical, financial, and policy support that aligns with current federal requirements while remaining flexible enough to operate in state-led or hybrid delivery environments.
