The purpose of this RFI is to solicit information, suggestions, and best practices on the technical resources needed to transform and maintain a static website to a dynamic website as well as design, develop, deploy, and maintain a mobile application and their corresponding integrated data systems for the Statewide Extreme Heat Ranking System (SEHRS) project initiated by the OEHHA in the State of California. The ranking system will be designed to notify Californians that a heat event is occurring and identify resources to protect themselves. This ranking system will be a first of-its-kind in the nation and is poised to further California’s leadership in mitigating and adapting to climate change. Both the SEHRS website application and mobile application are jointly known as CalHeatScore. Both applications must support business resiliency as it is integral to the business operation of the department and requires little or no downtime to remain in compliance with state and local regulations and guidelines. In addition to the health statistics, climate and temperature data, CalHeatScore will provide locally relevant information about upcoming heat events as well as locations of the nearest cooling locations (may be known as cooling centers, cooling stations or cool zones), urban tree canopies (UTC) or medical centers such as hospitals or urgent care clinics during a heat event.
