Cybersecurity Audit RFP

The City of Kenai issued a public‑sector Request for Proposals to conduct a comprehensive cybersecurity audit of its municipal IT environment, including network devices, servers, workstations, SCADA/ICS components, CCTV systems, and policy development. Funding of $35,000 from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security supports the effort, and the city expects the audit work to be completed by early December 2020. After a competitive RFP process, Securance Consulting was identified as the highest‑scoring bidder and is slated to receive the award. • Scope covers device‑level security, network architecture, policy & SOP creation, disaster‑recovery review, and compliance with CJIS (and possible HIPAA) standards. • The contract is a single‑award, firm‑fixed‑price arrangement with a flat‑fee envelope; the exact fee is to be negotiated but is capped by the $35 K budget. • No local preference or set‑aside requirements; out‑of‑state vendors were permitted, and the city supplied limited documentation, requiring the vendor to perform discovery work as needed.
