The 30-second brief
The City of Malibu is soliciting qualifications to establish an on-call list of contractors with extensive Emergency Operations Center (EOC) experience. The selected contractors will participate in periodic planning meetings and provide supplemental staffing during EOC activations, particularly during high-risk conditions such as wildfires. This procurement follows significant strain on city resources during past events like the Woolsey, Franklin, and Palisades Fires. The city currently has limited full-time staff trained for high-level EOC operations and seeks a robust backup plan. Submissions are due by November 21, 2025, via email to the Public Safety Director.
