CITY in this matter of Insurance Certificates, shall be grounds for termination of the Agreement as
specified in Section 8. It is also understood and agreed that it is the CONSULTANT'S sole burden and
responsibility to coordinate activities between itself, the CITY, and the CONSULTANT'S insurer(s) so
that the Insurance Certificates are acceptable to and accepted by the CITY within the time limits
described in this Subsection.
12.2.5 City As Additional Insured. The CITY shall be listed as an additional insured on all insurance
coverage required by this Agreement, except Worker's Compensation and Professional Liability errors
and omissions insurance. Furthermore, all other insurance policies pertaining to the Services to be
performed under this Agreement shall memorialize that the CONSULTANT's, or the CONSULTANT's
Subconsultant's, or all of these entities' (Primary Insureds) insurance, shall apply on a primary basis, and
that any other insurance maintained by the CITY shall be in excess of and shall not contribute to or be
commingled with the Primary Insured's insurance.
12.2.6 CITY's Right to Inspect Policies. The CONSULTANT shall, upon thirty (30) days' written
request from the CITY, deliver copies to the CITY of any or all insurance policies that are required in
this Agreement.

CITY OF OCOEE
WATER SYSTEM
THREAT AND VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT
SCOPE OF SERVICES
APPROACH TO WORK
The comprehensive vulnerability assessment to be done for the City of Ocoee covers several
different areas that will require different methods. Hartman & Associates, Inc. (HAI) therefore
proposes doing the vulnerability assessment in two (2) phases. For purposes of time, these
phases can be done in parallel, but are best seen as separate pieces of work because they will
require different methods and different personnel to complete.
Our recommended approach to the work for each of the phases is described below.
PHASE A-WATER SYSTEM RAM-W TVA
The purpose of this project is to perform a vulnerability risk assessment of the City of Ocoee,
Florida water production and distribution facilities. HAI will perform the assessment in
accordance with the Risk Assessment Methodology for Water Utilities (RAM-W) as developed
by Sandia National Laboratories and the American Water Works Association Research
Foundation(AWWA-RF).
The Public Health Security and Bio-terrorism Response Act of 2002 (PL107-288)requires all
community water system providers to conduct Vulnerability Assessments and amend their
emergency response plans (ERP). HAI is well suited to help the City of Ocoee meet the
challenge of bringing water facility security to the levels required in this age of terrorism.
The assessment will address facilities within the City's water department, including the water
treatment and distribution systems. The following facilities are included:
1. The City's three (3) water treatment plants (Forest Oaks, Jamela, and South) and
associated on-site wells
2. Water distribution system
In order to provide the City of Ocoee with a general understanding of our project approach we
offer the following summary description of our plan for accomplishing the proposed RAM-W
VA. These tasks will be accomplished during a workshop that HAI will coordinate and lead.
Site visits by HAI will be made as required before the workshop or prior to Task 700 (Estimate
System Effectiveness).
hes/mg/corresp/scope-rev.doc
HAI#04.0063.000 -1-
Task A-1: Planning-Prioritize Mission Objectives and Facilities/Assets
Purpose: To identify and prioritize the Utility's mission objectives (the primary purposes
of the Utility). These will be used to help measure the importance of the various facilities
and assets.
Action: For each mission objective, list the facilities, subsystems and assets with the
Utility that can impact that mission objective. Rank-order the facilities and assets under
each mission objective.
Task A-2: Planning-Define Risk Reduction Goals
Purpose: Determine the risk reduction goals for the system. This information will be
used during decision making implementing system upgrades to reduce risk.
Action: Establish potential risk reduction goals for the Utility and list them.
Task A-3: Threat Assessment-Develop Threat Spectrum
Purpose: Define the type of threat against which the facility and assets will be protected
(Design Basis Threat, DBT)
Action: Review the Threat Spectrum table. Pick two (2) or three (3) threats to be used as
the DBT. Modify their description per our best and most realistic judgment.
Task A-4: Site Characterization -Asset Identification
Purpose: Identify and list the critical assets within each facility
Action: List each asset identified and provide a brief description of them.
Task A-5: Consequence Assessment-Develop a Site Specific Consequence Matrix
Purpose: Establish the Consequence Matrix that will be used to determine the level of
consequence caused by the loss of each critical asset.
Action: Use the provided worksheet and establish the "Site-specific Consequence
Matrix".
Task A-6: Consequence Assessment-Determine Consequence Levels for Assets
Purpose: Determine the consequence for the loss of each critical asset in the system.
Action: Consider each asset's contribution to meeting the mission objectives of the utility
and define the level of consequence for each. Review each asset and determine the
hes/mg/corresp/scope-rev.doc
HAI#04.0063.000 -2-
highest level of consequence for it. That value becomes the Overall Consequence Value
for the asset.
Task A-7: System Effectiveness-Estimate System Effectiveness
Purpose: Estimate the effectiveness of the existing security system and operations system
in protecting each asset.
Action: Make a sketch (or use a drawing) to show the locations of the high consequence
critical assets and physical protection features. Mark the sketch with possible adversary
paths to the critical assets. Describe the worst-case path for each asset. Answer each of
the system effectiveness questions for detection, delay and response. Estimate overall
system effectiveness.
Task A-8: Risk Analysis-Determine Baseline Relative Risk
Purpose: Calculate the relative risk value for each specific adversary at each asset.
Action: Identify those assets with "M" to "VH" relative risk from an earlier step. Define
potential upgrades that could be implemented to reduce the risk. List the most effective
potential upgrades for each critical asset. Re-evaluate the values for consequence and
system effectiveness for each critical asset.
PHASE B - SCADA/CYBER VA
This phase includes an in-depth vulnerability assessment of the City of Ocoee's SCADA and
information technology(IT) systems. The RAM-W assessment methods only provide a general,
cursory assessment of the vulnerabilities of the SCADA and IT systems. In order to find
vulnerabilities in the computer systems and networks, special knowledge and tools are required.
Unlike physical security, computer and SCADA security cannot be evaluated by visual
inspection. Hackers utilize electronic tools to search for security holes in Operating Systems,
software, and network infrastructure. The only means of detecting these holes is by analyzing
the systems electronically. HAI will perform Automated Vulnerability Detection utilizing
software tools to properly evaluate your systems.
Our project approach is based upon our experience in performing similar assessments as well as
ongoing support services, and is tailored to meet your specific project requirements and
schedule.
An effective Risk/Vulnerability Assessment identifies gaps in security related to people,
operations and technology. HAI proposes that a certification standard consistent with the
Common Criteria Level RAL4 (ITSEC level C2) be used through out the vulnerability
assessment. HAI will complete a risk assessment of the vulnerabilities that exist relating to the
City of Ocoee's IT networks and systems.
hes/mg/corresp/scop e-rev.doc
HAI#04.0063.000 -3-
This portion of the assessment will include the following services:
1. Background information
2. System architecture review
3. Automated IT vulnerability assessment
4. Incorporation into the Final Report
Task B-1: Background Information
Prior to assessment team arrival on site, background information will be gathered and
reviewed by HAI. The City of Ocoee will be requested to supply the following
information on it's' IT systems:
1. SCADA/IT system and network block diagrams
2. List of software applications running on the systems
3. SCADAIIT security policy,procedures, standards and plans
4. Network administration and version control procedures.
The information will be reviewed, and interview templates and other worksheets will be
prepared.
Task B-2: System Architecture Review
A brief kick-off meeting with the assessment team and the City of Ocoee's stakeholders
will be held to discuss coordination and the assessment goals and schedule. Immediately
after the meeting, interviews with City of Ocoee SCADA/IT staff familiar with the design
and operation of the City of Ocoee's SCADA/IT facilities will be conducted. The City of
Ocoee is requested to identify three interview candidates most familiar with the
SCADA/IT architecture, operations and governance. These interviews will be conducted
using security questionnaires, document reviews and site surveys.
A review of the current system architectures and design will be performed. An interview
will be conducted with IT personnel to capture any recent modifications. Particular
emphasis will be placed on any Internet and extra-net configurations, Virtual Private
Network (VPN) configurations, modem access points, wireless access points, intrusion
detection systems, routers, firewalls, and switches.
The HAI team will examine and evaluate the direct infrastructure linkages between and
among the infrastructures that support the facilities critical to the City of Ocoee's
SCADA/IT infrastructure. This task is limited to one-half day of on-site work by the one
person assessment team.
Task B-3: Policies and Procedures Review
A review of IT policies and procedures will be performed. The review will include email
policies, acceptable internet use policies, password policies, hiring/termination policies,
hes/mg/corresp/scope-rev.doc
HAI#04.0063.000 -4-
anti-virus policies, system log policies, incident response policies, remote access policies,
system/network administrator certification and training policies, backup and restore
policies, and business continuity/disaster recovery plans and policies.
The IT policies and procedures review will be a general audit to identify weaknesses in
the policies and procedure program. The detailed review of the individual policies and
procedures themselves with recommendations for refinement would require additional
cost.
Task B-4: Automated IT Vulnerability Assessment
Identification of vulnerabilities on the SCADA/IT network will use automated tools
specifically designed to look for most known vulnerabilities. An automated TCP/IP
vulnerability assessment will be conducted to identify, in detail, vulnerabilities on the
subnets within the scope of the vulnerability assessment. Automated tools will identify
potential vulnerabilities on dial-up analog telephone lines, through TCP/IP network
connections such as the internet, and wireless TCP/IP WAN/LAN connections.
The automated network assessment will include scans of internet-facing machines as well
as assessment of internal machines. This task is limited to 2-days of on-site work.
Task B-5: Final Report
A section in the draft and final TVA report identifying the findings and recommendations
will be provided. The section of the final TVA report covering the SCADA and IT
system s will include specific findings and recommendations.
