Addendum 1 - RFP Questions and Answers
July 3, 2019 City Auditor Update
On July 2, 2019 the Virginia Beach City Council unanimously
passed a resolution directing the City Auditor to engage an independent
consultant to conduct an independent review of the May 31, 2019 tragedy.
The scope of the review to be performed by the independent consultant will
include: creation of a timeline of events; a review of the perpetrator’s
employment history and workplace interactions; and a review of relevant city
policies, procedures and practices, including, without limitation, those related
to facility security, prevention of workplace violence, and employee alerting
and response to active shooter notifications.
Upon the completion of the review the firm will submit a
written report to the City Council and present the findings of the review to
the City Council. The report should include recommendations as to best
practices that should be employed by the City.
The City Council seeks to start this review as quickly as
possible. Thus the deadline for submitting a proposal is Friday July 12,
2019 at 4:00 PM EST. All other details, including the City Council
resolution, are included in the Request for Proposal which can be found below.
As the City Auditor, I will be the liaison for this proposal
and subsequent resulting contract. This includes preparing the RFP,
reviewing the proposals, selecting the independent consultant, processing
payments to the consultant, and ensuring the consultant has access to
documents, records, and people to ensure a timely and thorough review. I
will not be involved in the actual review or have any influence in the outcome
of the review. My role is to be the liaison and provide oversight of the
contract and will not be a part of the review team.
