The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) in California is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) for the Statewide Extreme Heat Ranking System (SEHRS) project, which spans jurisdictions including Sacramento County, Sacramento City, and West Sacramento City. The primary procurement focuses on transforming a static website into a dynamic platform and developing a mobile application called CalHeatScore, designed to notify Californians about heat events and provide protective resources. Key deliverables include a cloud-based data warehouse with real-time analytics, geocoding capabilities, multiple map style filters, and integration with health and emergency facility databases. The project requires comprehensive technical services to design, develop, deploy, and maintain both web and mobile applications with minimal downtime. The RFI has several critical dates: intent to respond is due by November 13, 2024, questions are due by November 20, 2024, and full RFI responses must be submitted electronically to Acquisitions.Sections@oehha.ca.gov by December 11, 2024. Vendors must demonstrate capabilities in website transformation, mobile application development, and integrated data system maintenance, with a focus on business resiliency and compliance with state regulations.

The procurement appears to be set aside for Certified Small Businesses (SB), including Micro Businesses (MB), Small Business Professional/Workforce (SB-PW), or Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBE). The project will leverage existing data from multiple sources, including the National Weather Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Office of Emergency Services, and Department of Health Care Access Information, with UCLA already contracted to extract data and develop algorithms. The budget range for this innovative project is estimated between $650,000 to $750,000, reflecting the complexity of creating a first-of-its-kind heat ranking system in the nation. The system aims to further California's leadership in climate change mitigation and adaptation by providing a robust, cross-platform, browser-agnostic mobile application that integrates diverse data sources. Potential vendors must demonstrate technical expertise in web and mobile application development, cloud-based data warehousing, and the ability to create a resilient, low-downtime system that can support critical public safety information dissemination.
