City of Arcadia
D. Work Plan
A work plan outlining in detail the company's approach on how to accomplish the project as
delineated in "Section D, Functional Requirements" of this proposal.
Also provide the company's approach to cost-effective services while maintaining or enhancing the
Mass Notification needs of the City.
SECTION D
FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS
The City of Arcadia is seeking proposals for a fully hosted Software-as-a-Service(SaaS),time-
sensitive Mass Notification System for urgent and community notifications that follows an unlimited
use, fixed price model priced on a per address basis. The system will allow community leaders to
send important information to all constituents and staff within minutes. The City of Arcadia will not
entertain any system that requires the purchase or installation of any onsite or offsite hardware,
software, or phone lines, or any system that does not follow the SaaS model for every notifications
modality.
1. The proposed system must not require the purchase or installation of any hardware, software,
or phone lines,whether onsite or offsite.
Everbridge complies. Everbridge is Software as a Service. As such, the only requirement is a browser-
based device that supports HTTPS TLS 256-bit encryption. The second requirement is an internet
connection of any type. However, we also offer options for activating the system as well (such as our
Phone Launch, our Live Operator service, and through our ManageBridge mobile app).
2. The provider must have secured Service Level Agreements or equivalent that guarantee call
capacity of at least 3 million 60-second voice messages, 1.8 million text messages via SMS, and
1.8 million emails and text messages via email gateways per hour.
We provide to all of our customers a written service level guarantee of a MINIMUM of 300,000 voice-
based notification attempts and 600,000 text-based notification attempts in 60 minutes.
Our solution is high-performance, scalable, and reliable. It will provide a monthly broadcast availability
of 99.99% or greater, allowing for real-time call prioritization which provides optimal service to
customers at all subscribed service levels.
Broadcast Performance Target
During a 60-minute period, Everbridge shall make a minimum number of notification attempts to the first
contact path for all client broadcasts, using the standard configuration, per the table below. Notification
attempts do not include third-party network delivery.

broadcast delivery throttling feature or intervals between delivery methods.
Please note, we typically see even better performance in real time. For example, the largest Alert
Arcadia notification in 2021 sent a 24-second-long voice call to 15,518 unique phone numbers in less
than 1 minute. This is more than 3x the minimum guaranteed by our SLA above.
Everbridge delivered the industry's first and only Elastic Infrastructure Model capable of near infinite
scale. This elastic infrastructure significantly increases the performance of the service, by combining
the company's large pool of dedicated communication resources with a near infinite pool of on-demand
resources from strategic partners. This next-generation service and architecture ensures that
Everbridge can satisfy the increasing global demand for the company's notification and incident
management services, which has the capability to facilitate more than 5 billion interactions per year via
Everbridge's Critical Event Management platform for both emergency incidents and daily operational
communications, to reliably protect over 800 million people.
3. Allow for unlimited messages to be sent annually.
In alignment with the current terms of service that were updated for Arcadia's 2020-2021 subscription,
Everbridge allows for unlimited email notifications and unlimited Everbridge mobile app push
notifications. Notifications to SMS, Voice, Fax, conference lines, TTY devices are subject to the
Everbridge Credit Based Usage Policy. For details, please refer to the Messaging Credits System
Inclusion sheet, which has been included in the Pricing Methodologies attachment of our response. City
of Arcadia's Everbridge subscription includes 3 million message credits and in the past year sent alerts
that used the equivalent of 494,470 (16.5% of total credits).
4. The system must have the capability to transmit both email and SMS text messages to the
designated users.
Everbridge complies. Everbridge is a critical event management communication platform designed to
deliver important notifications across a wide band of modes (email, SMS, cell, Apple Watch, etc.)with
confirmation of receipt and reporting built in.
Everbridge supports a flexible mix of voice-and text-based contact paths. The delivery methods
available in the system consist of 6 phones, 5 phones with extension, 5 SMS devices, 1 One Way SMS
(often used for SMS paging), 5 email addresses, 3 TTY/TDD devices, 1 recipient app(the Everbridge
Mobile app), 1 TAP Pager, 1 Numeric Pager, 3 Fax numbers, 1 plain text email 1-way, 1 plain text email

City of Arcadia
Social Network Posting (premium feature), posting to RSS (using our inherent OASIS CAP support),
and posting to IPAWS (authorized clients only). The paths are customizable allowing your
administrators to set up as many or as few of each type as needed.
The system allows administrators and/or your contacts to configure preferred delivery priority so that
devices are contacted in the order desired. If the system is unable to connect with the recipient via the
first delivery path, it automatically rotates to the next delivery path and attempts to contact again. This
process continues until the recipient confirms receipt or until the Broadcast Duration and/or Contact
Cycles have expired.
5. The system shall have two separate environments, one for internal messaging for employees
and one for external messaging to the public.
Everbridge complies. The Everbridge solution is deployed in single instances of Everbridge SaaS
environments known as "organizations" or"ORGs" (operating siloes of contact data and communication
functionality). Arcadia's account is currently set up with one ORG for messaging employees, a second
ORG for external messaging to the public, and a third for sandbox and training.
6. The provider must have system redundancies to ensure call delivery, such as multiple
telecommunications providers, independently located datacenters and failover testing. Please
describe.
Everbridge complies. We utilize multiple telecommunications providers, independently located
datacenters, and failover testing.
Everbridge's system is designed to provide a true zero point of failure system. We employ multiple fully
redundant, geographically dispersed data centers for all our test and production systems in a shared
SaaS configuration. Data is continuously replicated between the various sites, and each site can
provide the full range of Everbridge services. If service is disrupted at any site, all traffic is dynamically
rerouted to another site so that Everbridge's systems remain constantly available.
System failover testing is conducted in alignment with our release cycle and further tested annually as
part of our BCDR testing.
7. The provider must have system delivery throttling capability so that both emails and phone calls
can be throttled to avoid overflowing the local switch network. Describe in detail this
functionality.
Everbridge complies. For those clients who understand limitations in target voice
networks/infrastructure (such as a limited number of phone lines available in an office space with a
large amount of people), Everbridge offers client definable broadcast throttling capabilities. This allows
clients to fully define an unlimited number of global dialing string, and when Everbridge places any calls
to these"dialing patterns", the volume of calls simultaneously placed will be throttled based on the
client's defined maximum. If a telephone number dialed does not meet the defined throttling pattern, a
default throttling volume can be used as a "fall back"—or throttling may be skipped altogether.
This blend of rotational delivery and our global throttling flexibility provides our clients with high degrees
of flexibility when handling diverse notification target environments.

Everbridge's Critical Event Management platform leverages the concepts of high availability, full
geographic redundancy, and dynamic expansion while providing clients with best-in-class performance
across a wide range of contact modalities (telephone, email, SMS text, mobile app, etc.).
From an architecture perspective, Everbridge maintains infrastructure within SOC 2-compliant data
center facilities in multiple locations around the globe. Our secure rack space includes Everbridge's
redundant network uplinks feeding dual routers, fully meshed with dual load balancers. Our tiered
architecture approach includes a web tier, application tier, GIS tier, database tier, and a tier for our
notification engine. Each tier within our architecture is supported by a cluster of servers allowing for full
redundancy, high performance, and easy scalability. The implementation described here is then
replicated to our other data center facilities around the world while respecting data privacy regulations
and jurisdictional boundaries. If service is disrupted at any site, traffic is rerouted to the remaining sites
so that Everbridge's services remain constantly available to all of our clients.
Additionally, at times of high system demand, Everbridge combines the use of our dedicated resources
with our"on-demand" resources, providing a significant amount of burstable capacity for our clients,
"spinning up" additional capacity as required.
Everbridge has developed sophisticated non-starvation algorithms that are used to ensure that no large
workload (client broadcasts, data uploads, etc.) will ever cause smaller workloads to be delayed.

Furthermore,we conduct advanced capacity planning that takes into account historical and seasonal
utilization patterns,while factoring in our growth and our clients'growth.
11. State the annual volume of calls and text-based messages through your system in 2020.
Everbridge facilitated more than 5 billion interactions via our Critical Event Management platform
in 2020.
12. State any limitations to the number of messages that can be sent annually.
Due to our elastic infrastructure, there are no limitations to the number of messages that can be sent
annually.
Everbridge delivered the industry's first and only Elastic Infrastructure Model capable of near infinite
scale. This elastic infrastructure significantly increases the performance of the service, by combining
the company's large pool of dedicated communication resources with a near infinite pool of on-demand
resources from strategic partners. This next generation service and architecture ensures that
Everbridge can satisfy the increasing global demand for the company's notification and incident
management services, which has the capability to facilitate more than 5 billion interactions per year via
Everbridge's Critical Event Management platform for both emergency incidents and daily operational
communications, to reliably protect over 800 million people.
13. Cite evidence of experience in successful call delivery during times of highly impacted capacity
(e.g. hurricane,flood,tornado,fire,or snow storm) and metrics around it.
Everbridge complies. Everbridge's performance during weather-based events such as winter storms
and hurricanes demonstrates that Everbridge is able to reliably deploy the messages that are
demanded by our client base. These are the times when infrastructure and usability are most important,
and these are the times when Everbridge shines the brightest.
• During Winter Storm Juno, Everbridge deployed nearly 11,300,000 messages from 1/26/2015 to
1/29/2015 (42,838 broadcasts launched; 7,100,000 individuals contacted; 11,300,000 messages
sent)
• From January 20, 2016, to January 25, 2016, over 1,000 clients utilized Everbridge to send over
16 million messages related to Winter Storm Jonas
• Everbridge provides the state of Florida's AlertFlorida statewide notification initiative which was
heavily relied upon during Hurricane Matthew (#FLPREPARES and#FLRECOVERS)—20
million+ population of residents and visitors
• During Hurricane Irma, Everbridge customers sent 4,947 unique notifications for a total of more
than 20 million messages. Sample message types included: tornado warnings, flood alerts,
hurricane advisories, evacuation alerts, storm surge notices, traffic information, generator safety,
shelter recommendations, special needs assistance, local authority information
From a historical viewpoint, broadcasts including over 50,000 recipients were considered to be large
and unusual in the Everbridge platform 2 years ago. However, today, 100,000+ recipient broadcasts are
considered routine and have no impact on the platform or other client broadcasts.

15. The provider must describe its disaster recovery plan and demonstrate at minimum annual
testing of failover plan. Please describe.
Everbridge has a Business Continuity—Disaster Recovery plan in place that is tested once per year.
Recovery efforts strive to resume all business activities as soon as possible and many recovery tasks
will be conducted in tandem. However, in the event that prioritization is necessary, Everbridge has
established a recovery order for all business areas of the company. Everbridge has recovery plans for
different types of disruptions: natural disasters, accidents or failures, technical disasters, and malicious
activities. Finally, Everbridge employs multiple fully redundant, geographically dispersed data centers
for all its test and production systems. Data is continuously replicated between the various sites, and
each site can provide the full range of Everbridge services. If service is disrupted at any site, all traffic is
dynamically rerouted to another site so that Everbridge's SaaS systems remain constantly available.
Every system in the infrastructure is individually fault tolerant, with redundant power, network, and disc
wherever possible.
16. The provider must describe any failures in the past 3 (three)years.
Everbridge does not have any failures to outline. However, service impacting events are communicated

5. The provider must be able to warrant that they provide background checks on all employees,
and that only employees who have undergone said background checks will have access to
client data.
Everbridge complies. As per our security framework(which is governed by NIST 800-53 controls and
FedRAMP compliance), Everbridge performs or has previously performed a rigorous background check
on all Everbridge employees who have access to technology infrastructure or client data. We use an
industry-leading third-party for these checks, which include:
• Social Security Number Trace/Address Verification
• Consumer Credit Report*
• County Criminal
• Federal District Criminal
• Driving Record *

*Specific background element conducted based on position and position requirements.
6. The provider must explain internal company protocols regarding the handling of client data.The
provider must require all employees to sign data handling agreements at hire.
Everbridge complies. Everbridge employs a Defense-in-Depth strategy to protect our resources and our
Client Information Resources and to protect our clients' privacy. Our strategy encompasses four critical
categories: access, network security, infrastructure security, and application security.
Access: Everbridge controls access to client data and Everbridge's computing and networking
resources by using industry standards for physical and logical access and by employing corporate
controls to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures. Everbridge also requires all clients to comply
with the Terms of Use Agreement for the use of the Everbridge product.
Network Security: Everbridge's internal corporate and SaaS production networks are protected on
several levels. The internal corporate network is physically separate from the Everbridge SaaS
production network. Firewall technologies are employed to protect computing assets. A security
assessment is performed annually by a recognized third-party authority on network security, penetration
testing, and intrusion detection.
Infrastructure Security: Everbridge's SaaS production infrastructure security implementation
encompasses auditing, internal monitoring, load-balancing, and component clustering. Automated
auditing includes tracking all activity(add, delete, change) on all data in the system. Monitoring
encompasses user activity, application activity, and infrastructure activity. The combination of
automated auditing and monitoring ensures no unauthorized processes run on any component of the
infrastructure and all access requests and attempts are challenged and recorded in a log.

Mass Notification System
Aeverbridge® City of Arcadia
Application Security: Everbridge uses industry-standard practices for controlling changes to the
application, and for applying updates and patches to any part of the application solution.
Data transmission that occurs between the customer organization and the Everbridge SaaS solution is
done via secure HTTP (HTTPS)TLS 2048-Bit encryption, securing the data transfer.
Client contact data stored in the Everbridge system is encrypted"at rest" using AES 256-Bit encryption.
Everbridge performs monthly internal and external vulnerability scans against our systems using and,
we contract with a third party for annual penetration testing as well.
For many customers, we have had our employees sign data-handling agreements, customized by the
customer in-line with customer protocol. We will work with the City of Arcadia to define this process.
7. The provider must certify that it employs and will continue to employ a dedicated CISSP
certified security manager or the equivalent in certification to test the system and run ongoing
checks/improvements.
Everbridge fully complies with this requirement.
8. The provider must offer a call authorization feature that enables two or more authorized
personnel to grant permission prior to a citywide notification being sent.
Everbridge complies with this requirement. Everbridge can set up rules and restrictions and give access
to administrators to control what calls are being distributed to the specific recipient. Everbridge provides
a range of security roles that clients will manage and assign to their authorized users. These security
roles will define what permissions/access the client user will get when logging into the Everbridge
solution. At all times, clients maintain full control over granting/altering/revoking access for any of their
users. Client may define as many administrative users as they require.
9. The provider must offer a PIN feature that allows the user to confirm that the correct message
recipient is listening before the message is delivered.
Everbridge complies. Everbridge allows the verification of a telephone recipient's identity through the
use of a PIN code before delivering a notification.
10. The provider must be able to provide access limitations based upon given roles, and give the
site system administrator a tool to modify access rights at the individual level.The provider's
system must be configurable to provide specific user rights and roles and to restrict data
access and administrative oversight to the appropriate personnel.
Everbridge complies. Everbridge supports role-based access to the platform.At all times, clients
maintain full control over any user granted access to the client organization (environment) in the
Everbridge system,the rights that are assigned, and the ability to revoke access at any time.
Everbridge allows for an unlimited number of user roles. Each user may have multiple roles as is
appropriate.
User roles are configurable, meaning that certain permissions can be turned off and on. So in the case
of group managers, for example, their supervisors may want the managers to have the ability to
manage their groups' contact data, so the manager turns on those features. In cases where the group
manager's supervisor does NOT want the manager to be able to see and manage contact data,the
20

supervisor will leave those options turned off. That will keep the group manager from being able to see
or manage contact data.

1. The provider must be able to facilitate unattended, automated and secured contact data upload
and update from the client's existing HR or other database system. Please describe.
Everbridge complies. Experience has shown us that many customers are somewhat nervous about
their ability to manage contact data. We understand it can seem like an intimidating task. However, with
Everbridge, you are in control of how you want to manage your data. And we are right beside you to
help make it happen. We offer several different methods for managing contact data ranging from
manual to more automatic processes.
SELF-SERVICE SINGLE CONTACT RECORD ADJUSTMENTS
Ideal for one-at-a-time entry for small additions or changes, Everbridge supports self-service single
contact adjustments through the Everbridge Web Manager user-interface allowing you to easily add a
single new contact or make minor changes on a per contact basis. Changes made are immediately
available for use when sending notifications.
SELF-SERVICE CONTACT UPLOAD VIA CSV
Everbridge facilitates data management processes by allowing organizations to quickly create or
update multiple contact records and assign groups through a simple Comma Separated Value (CSV)
file upload into the Everbridge system. This process helps maintain data security and accuracy by
allowing you to easily update data without requiring the use of specialized tools or vendor assistance.
Once uploaded into the Everbridge system, data with proper address information is automatically geo-
coded and immediately available within the platform for crisis notifications or daily operations
communications.
BULK CONTACT MANAGEMENT AUTOMATION VIA SFTP
Automated data management is made simple; Everbridge supports SFTP for secure data transfers,
allowing you to utilize your choice of FTP tools with scheduling capabilities to ensure that your data
accuracy is maintained with the least amount of effort from your administrators. Once received by the
Everbridge system, data with proper address information is also automatically geo-coded and
immediately available within the platform.
CUSTOMER-BRANDED CONTACT OPT-IN PORTAL
Using the Contact Opt-In Portal, your organization can give constituents the ability to self-subscribe to
alerts from within your publicly available secure portal or privately invite recipients with an existing
account to augment and maintain their contact information. The portal takes away your data
management burden and is designed to be completely configurable to your needs.
Additionally, contacts can specify up to five addresses and multiple contact paths through which they
would like to receive notifications, allowing for a high degree of flexibility for communication with your
citizens.

AUTOMATED CONTACT MANAGEMENT VIA EVERBRIDGE CONTACT API
Integration with the Everbridge API is available as an option for all of our clients. Integration requires
the development of a"middleware" application which will interface between the chosen backend data
system (i.e. LDAP, Active Directory, PeopleSoft, SAP, Lawson)with the Everbridge platform online. The
development of the"middleware" can be conducted internally by client resources or clients may choose
to contract with Everbridge Professional Services to complete the development and integration, which
will require additional scoping and development fees.
2. The system should allow all contact data, including but not limited to: name, phone number,
email address, address, and message preferences. Both the registered contacts and the system
administrators must be able to access and edit this data. The system must be able to upload or
import contact data from a CSV format list.
Everbridge complies. The system allows all contact data listed above, and both registered contacts and
system administrators have access to and can manage this data. Registered contacts can manage their
own contact data via the Contact Opt-In Portal as described in the previous response. Also described in
the previous response is the ability to import contact data from a CSV format list.
3. Place no limitations on the number of times data transfers can be performed from the client's
databases. Describe and provide any associated fees, if required.
Everbridge complies. There are no limitations on the number of data transfers that can be performed
from Arcadia's databases to update contacts in the Everbridge system. There are no associated fees
for contact data management.
4. The provider must provide commercially available residential and business phone numbers and
disclose data sources, how frequently they are updated, and whether any fees are associated
with updates.
Everbridge complies. Everbridge can provide publicly available yellow and white page data for
Arcadia's jurisdiction as part of the subscription (no additional cost) once per year.
5. The provider shall be able to offer a web portal for recipients (residents, businesses &staff) as
an alternate data collection method to auto-imports if the client prefers it.
Everbridge complies. We provide a Contact Opt-In Portal which provides recipients the ability to access
and manage their profile information. It also acts as an alternate data collection method for the City's
use.

® Everbridge complies. Everbridge is a critical event management
communication platform designed to deliver important notifications across
;1 a wide band of modes(email, SMS, cell, Apple Watch, etc.)with
4 , confirmation of receipt and reporting built in.
Everbridge supports a flexible mix of voice-and text-based contact paths.
The delivery methods available in the system consist of 6 phones, 5
Easily choose customized phones with extension, 5 SMS devices, 1 One Way SMS (often used for
delivery methods for SMS paging), 5 email addresses, 3 TTY/TDD devices, 1 recipient app

(the Everbridge Mobile app), 1 TAP Pager, 1 Numeric Pager, 3 Fax
numbers, 1 plain text email 1-way, 1 plain text email 2-way using HTTPS
Publish, Desktop Alerting (premium feature), posting to Nixie (premium feature), Social Network Posting
(premium feature), posting to RSS (using our inherent OASIS CAP support), and posting to IPAWS
(authorized clients only). The paths are customizable allowing your administrators to set up as many or
as few of each type as needed.
The system allows administrators and/or your contacts to configure preferred delivery priority so that
devices are contacted in the order desired. If the system is unable to connect with the recipient via the
first delivery path, it automatically rotates to the next delivery path and attempts to contact again. This

process continues until the recipient confirms receipt or until the Broadcast Duration and/or Contact
Cycles have expired.
AUTO-DETECT TTY
We do not do auto-detection of TTY when we make a phone ring on the recipient's side. Rather, we
have a separate delivery path for TTY (i.e., separate from phone/voice delivery), which someone (client
or recipient/member) must tell us that the number we're going to be calling is a TTY device.
"501" COMPLIANCE/SECTION 508 COMPLIANCE
Everbridge is not familiar with anything that would require"501" compliance. Therefore, we are making
the assumption that the City intended to ask about Section 508 compliance.
Everbridge complies with a wide range of WCAG 2.0 and Section 508 accessibility requirements for
both users of the solution and recipients of communications. From a user perspective, we develop with
accessibility in mind to ensure visually impaired and color-blind individuals can all utilize our system.
Our system is browser-based supporting accessibility functionality in all modern-day operating systems
and web browsers. From a recipient perspective, we support TTY/TDD technology and provide a rich
mobile app for use on iOS and Android devices to receive communications.
Everbridge has supplied our latest Voluntary Product Accessibility Templates (VPATs)for further review
and to demonstrate our various areas of compliance. See Section I:Additional Information.
2. The system must be able to deliver to third party devices such as digital signage, alert systems,
etc.via RSS.
Yes. To further extend Everbridge notifications to other delivery methodologies (i.e., websites, bulletin
boards, RSS feeds, social networks, UHF radios, RF Pagers, Sirens, Radio Systems, digital signage,
PA systems, client television station broadcast, AM/FM radio broadcast systems, two-way RF radios,
etc.), many system/device vendors offer the ability for their system to ingest HTTPS feeds of
information or offer an"email gateway" or"telephony gateway"to receive inbound email/telephone
messages and "pass"the received content on to the target devices.
Clients may use several Everbridge features to post to the various sites/systems listed above:
• Using an email delivery method in Everbridge and targeting an"email gateway"which deploys the
message to the device(s) connected to the email gateway(usually text display devices/systems
including digital signage, RSS posting, websites, bulletin boards, social networks)
• Using a telephone delivery method in Everbridge and targeting a"telephony gateway"which
deploys the message to the device(s)connected to the telephone gateway(usually audible
notification devices such as radios, PA systems, "Giant Voice" platforms, etc.)
• Using our HTTPS publish function, clients may send a notification from Everbridge, using HTTPS,
directly to a system that is capable of receiving input via HTTPS and posting the content to the
related technology or website (i.e., Cisco phone systems, websites, RSS feeds, audible speakers,
etc.). If the target platform does not inherently ingest HTTPS, a small middleware application can
be built to achieve this(by the client or by Everbridge Professional Services)
• Clients may use our CAP RSS deployment functionality to target a CAP compliant messaging
solution to further disseminate messages to connected systems or sites.

• Everbridge also maintains a partnership with Alertus, an industry-leading provider with extensive
support for"public notification devices" (digital signs, speakers, etc.), emergency alert beacons,
radio platforms, and desktop notification functionality.Alertus is integrated with Everbridge in
such a way that messages from Everbridge are easily transmitted to the client's Alertus platform
for distribution to radios, beacons, digital signs, PA systems, desktop popups, etc.
Everbridge would welcome the opportunity to discuss and demonstrate our support of these
requirements as needed.
3. The provider must be capable of consuming and rebroadcasting CAP version 1.2 messages and
publishing to a CAP channel. Describe any evaluations through FEMA's NIMS program.
Everbridge is certified as a gateway for IPAWS/WEA(using CAP 1.2). Authorized clients, such as
government entities, will need to provide their COG ID (Common Operating Group ID), the Common
Name(Logon Name), and the digital certificate provided by FEMA within the settings of the Everbridge
system. Once this information has been provided, clients can send notifications and include the Publish
to IPAWS/WEA as a deployment option—or simply target IPAWS/WEA separate from any other target
population.
4. The provider must allow external systems to integrate via APIs. Describe this functionality.
Everbridge complies. The Everbridge platform supports integration with web service architectures and
applications clients may maintain internally using our Application Programming Interfaces(APIs).
Everbridge's API structures are JSON-based RESTful APIs which allow clients to manage contact data,
generate reports, and trigger notification launches from other backend systems. Our Broadcast API
requires the following elements to launch a message: who to contact, what to say to them, and how to
deploy the message. Our Contact API allows the management of any data element in a contact profile.
Integration with Everbridge APIs is available as an option to all our clients. Integration requires the
development of a"middleware" application which will interface the chosen backend data systems with
the Everbridge platform online. The development of the"middleware" can be conducted internally by
client resources or clients may choose to contract with Everbridge Professional Services to complete
the development and integration, which will require additional scoping and development fees. The
language selected for development is entirely up to the client, but common languages clients utilize
include Java and .Net.
Common integrations include:
• Contact management from an existing backend data system such as LDAP,Active Directory,
PeopleSoft, SAP, Lawson, Banner, and any other client data store compatible with web services
• Broadcast management from events trigger/detected in another client backend data system such
as CAD platforms, SCADA systems, ITSM based platforms (i.e., Openview, Remedy, etc.), alarm
systems, gate monitoring systems, security systems, and any other client platform that supports
web services
All integrations built by Everbridge Professional Services are custom developed based on each client's
specific needs form the integration.
Additional information regarding our API is available as part of the final selection process.

5. Allow for secure and direct publishing to RSS, Facebook and Twitter, and other social media
platforms, as necessary.
Everbridge allows clients to add multiple Facebook and Twitter accounts and publish directly to those
social media sites as well as to Everbridge contacts(ex: opt ins and 911 contacts) simultaneously.
Everbridge would be glad to discuss and demonstrate this functionality as part of down select.
CAP RSS support is inherently available in the platform. Everbridge's CAP support leverages the
OASIS format, and each client environment(Organization)will support CAP configuration to send
messages from the solution to the desired endpoint.
6. Allow for rich-text HTML enabled e-mails. Describe your rich text editing interface(support for
charts,tables, illustrations, drawings, etc.).
Everbridge complies. Everbridge supports this requirement through our Rich Text Format email
functionality (which is an option for any notification being created). Our Rich Text Format functionality
will support rich text options such as font control (size, color, and style), bullets, graphical links, working
URLs, etc. This includes support for charts,tables, illustrations, drawings, etc. These rich text formatted
notifications are deployed to Rich Text Email devices and to our Everbridge mobile recipient app for
iOS and Android devices.
7. The system shall allow for drafting free form messages.The system will also be able to build
message templates for individual scenarios such that when the message template is used,the
drafter only needs to select and input a few fields of information from pre-set options to
complete or fill in the message.
Everbridge complies. Drafting free-form messages is standard functionality. In addition, the City can
create and save message and broadcast templates to expedite communication processes. Message
templates contain pre-recorded voice and text content which can be applied to new notifications.
Notification templates are pre-defined notifications which contain message content, target recipients,
and settings. Once saved, notification templates can be quickly deployed individually or as a group in
under 15 seconds. Templates are stored in a corresponding library for easy management.

8. Allow the user to attach documents within e-mails or via secure file links. Describe how service
reduces system data load.
Everbridge complies. Message senders can upload up to five files, with a single file size of 2 MB, with 2
MB total for all attachments combined.
Message type:
Standard Polling Conference Bridges
Attach Files
You can upload up to 5 files.with a maximum single file
size of 2MB.with 2MB total for all attachments
Publishing t combined.
In cases where the attachment file size is too large, clients can create messages that include hyperlinks
to the files (hosted by the client or third party)that they want to share.
9. Describe how you effectively avoid SPAM filters. Do you scan attached files for viruses?
Everbridge complies. Everbridge is"white-listed" as a registered SMS content provider which reduces
the chances of any large SMS notification sent being flagged as"spam". Furthermore, from an email
perspective, Everbridge will also provide"email whitelist" information to our clients to allow our email
notifications to flow through junk mail/filters easily within the client environment.
10. Allow users to select the type of message to send —voice,text,or voice and text.The system
must offer the ability to deliver messages in the user's own voice,via text-to-speech,or a blend
of the two that allows for the seamless, interlaced integration of user provided voice content
with text-to-speech content.
Everbridge complies. This is standard functionality in the Everbridge system. Our solution allows the
message sender to create a single message and have the message deployed to all available delivery
paths,whether they be text-based or voice-based devices. If a client creates a text-only message and
deploys it to a voice-based device, Everbridge's text-to-speech engine will convert the text for
successful delivery to a voice device such as a telephone. Furthermore, clients can also record voice
and text for any notification, and text-based content will deploy to text devices(email, SMS, etc.) and
voice content will deploy to voice devices(cell phones, landline phones, etc.).
Everbridge supports the following methods to record a live voice:
• Record a new message via phone or with a microphone connected to the PC
• Call in with a telephone and record a message
• Select a pre-recorded voice message
• Upload a .WAV file from your computer
• Record directly on your mobile phone via the Everbridge Mobile app for recipients

In addition to including a text-to-speech (TTS) engine which can be used with any notification,
Everbridge holds US Patent#8,149,995 covering the use of text to speech in a notification.
11. When sending a text message and it exceeds the maximum allowable characters for a single
SMS,the system can automatically adjust so that multiple text messages are not sent. In an
effort to reduce message fatigue, our organization prefers the first part of the message to be
sent with a link for the recipient to access the remaining portion of the message that exceeds
the maximum amount of characters that cell carriers can support per SMS. How does your
system handle SMS messages that exceed the allotted amount per text message?
Everbridge complies. Arcadia is currently leveraging our Single SMS feature which automatically
condenses an SMS to be delivered as a single block (defined by Cell Carriers as 160 GSM characters
or 70 characters if a non-GSM character is included) and adds a link for contacts to view the full
message. Everbridge users also have the ability to configure"Custom SMS Messages"where a 160-
character message can be created with the option to automatically include a link to view the Web Page
Message for any additional content and the option to add images, other links, etc.

In addition to including a text-to-speech (TTS) engine which can be used with any notification,
Everbridge holds US Patent#8,149,995 covering the use of text to speech in a notification. This allows
clients to define message content in text form and when voice-based devices are selected for the
message deployment, the client will have the option to convert the message text into speech using the
TTS engine.
Everbridge also supports Text-to-Speech messaging in a foreign language (ability to type a message in
a foreign language and have that message delivered in the language). The Everbridge text-to-speech
engine will also pronounce your message in whichever language you select.
All functionality outlined here is available by default and we would welcome the opportunity to
demonstrate our support as needed.
13. Permit users to include personalized contact information such as contact's name, institution

Everbridge complies. For each Everbridge notification sent via email, clients may customize the Sender
Email Display Name (can be text or a valid email address), the Subject/Title of the message, the Body,
and the Header/Footer. Additionally, our Custom From Email functionality (premium feature)allows
clients to custom define the domain (i.e., using the client's existing domain)the Everbridge solution will
use to send message to their recipients.
Everbridge would welcome the opportunity to demonstrate and discuss our support of these
requirements as needed.
20. Provide a toll-free number for recipients to retrieve previously sent phone messages.
Everbridge complies. Everbridge clients can post messages for their recipients to call back in (using a

bi-weekly, or monthly basis without human intervention. Everbridge allows you to schedule data
uploads to occur automatically on a recurring basis or manually launch updates on the fly.
22. Allow for the construction of dynamic groups that will select all contacts meeting user-designed
dynamic criteria at the time of message delivery, ensuring the most up-to-date and accurate

Everbridge allows for the blending of traditional target methods (static or dynamic groups or individual
targeting)with map-based geographic targeting. These options are available within the notification
workflow to all message initiators.
FOR ACCURATE DELIVERY
Everbridge supports the ability to deploy SMS communications using the"native" protocol (SMS via
SMPP) as well as via email (SMS via SMTP). Everbridge guarantees the deployment of
communications from the solution as per our Service Level Agreement. In regard to"whitelisting",
Everbridge is a registered content provider with carrier networks which reduces the chance of client
SMS messages being flagged as spam. Everbridge does leverage industry-leading SMS aggregators
directly bound to the Everbridge solution for the deployment of SMS-based notifications.
EVERBRIDGE SMARTPATH — INTELLIGENT DELIVERY
Everbridge SmartPath is a suite of features to ensure the reliable delivery of client messages. This
includes the structuring of messages to optimize throughput in all communication channels, evaluating
channel message delivery and message failure history, intelligent routing of messages to avoid
potential delays or failure of delivery of messages, and recommending optimization of message credit
allowance. SmartPath takes an SMS that is longer than 160 characters and provides a link to the full
message.
There are two SmartPath features available today in the Everbridge Critical Event Management (CEM)
Suite:

25. Automatically retries unsuccessful phone attempts in order to maximize the number of
successful phone deliveries. Describe this functionality.
Everbridge complies. To help ensure notifications are received by the target recipients, Everbridge
designed a truly rotational contact methodology which leverages multiple contact delivery paths such as
telephone calls, native SMS, email and many more. This provides a natural call throttling ability. The
system will rotate through each target recipient' s devices, individually, and seek confirmation. Once
confirmation is received, it is registered with the Everbridge system and no further notifications are
deployed to that contact. However, if the contact does not confirm, the Everbridge system rotates to the
next available device for the target recipient and attempts to contact them again, seeking confirmation.
This process continues until the contact confirms or until the broadcast duration and/or contact cycles
have expired.
If the message sender truly wants to maximize phone deliveries specifically, they could choose only
telephones as the targeted delivery methods. The system allows you to choose up to six phones in
addition to five phones using an extension. Using the rotational contact delivery described above, the
system would then contact the targeted telephones one after the other until a notification was confirmed
or the broadcast timed out.
26. Provide a zero retry option.
Everbridge complies. To accomplish this, the message sender would choose only one contact cycle.
With this setting, the system would cycle through all of the chosen delivery methods only one time and
then stop attempting contact. Of course, if a confirmation is received midway through the cycle, then the
system will cease any additional contact attempts.
Contact cycles: 1
27. Provide ability to schedule a recurring message.
Everbridge complies. As previously noted, the system allows you to create messages and schedule
them to deploy on specific dates and times or as recurring messages to be sent on a daily, weekly, or
monthly basis.
28. Provide calling based upon client-provided GIS coordinates. Discuss maximum number of
vertices for polygon.
Everbridge complies. Everbridge provides the ability for the subscriber to input latitude/longitude
coordinates or select from a map. Polygons must contain fewer than 5,000 vertices.
29. Provide ability to upload GIS-created shape files and save them for future use.Ability to import
GIS created map from other data sources.The ability to filter by map.
Everbridge complies. Everbridge inherently provides a map-based interface that can be used for
reviewing important geographic or situational information and for targeting communications to a desired
audience. By default, Everbridge includes 3 base map layers for use (BING, Google, and ESRI) and
clients may also utilize their own internet accessible map server with Everbridge as well.
©2021 Everbridge Everbridge corn 36
Mass Notification System
Aeverbridge® City of Arcadia
Map tools provided to clients include searching for contacts based on geographic requirements
(address, intersection, contact name, zip code, lat/long/, point of interest, etc.)and polygon tools that
support freeform shapes, polygons, circles, and inclusion/exclusion shapes. Clients may save created
shapes in our Shape Library and also upload existing shapefiles from another solution for use in the
platform.
Finally, Everbridge also supports the ability for clients to upload custom map layers which may include
specific information to the client such as the location of utilities, asset locations, environmental zones
(i.e., flood plain maps), and more. The client need only to supply the map layer for use(by uploading to
Everbridge)and it's immediately available for view when using our Universe Tab.
Everbridge would welcome the opportunity to demonstrate and discuss this functionality as required.
30. Automatically de-duplicate phone numbers to ensure the same number is not called more than
once for a given call.
Everbridge complies. Everbridge inherently supports de-duplication which prevents contacts from
receiving multiple communications if they have been targeted more than once with any client
communication deployment. This is default functionality in the system.
31. Provide the ability to send voice and text-message (SMS) notifications to international phone

Everbridge complies. Everbridge's Mass Notification platform offers SMARTWeather Alerting which
leverages AccuWeather and Weather Decision Technology's meteorological resources to enhance and
optimize more than 150 severe weather alerts such as lightning, tornadoes, thunderstorms, hail, ice,
snow, extreme temperatures, high winds, flash floods, and flooding. Because these severe weather
types are difficult to predict far in advance, they often result in terrible loss of property and life for those
individuals who are caught unaware.
Everbridge SMARTWeather Alerting provides location-specific severe weather alerts at the speed of a
click. An automated rules engine supercharges the speed and accuracy of alert delivery so notifications
get to the right people right away. With SMARTWeather, you can automatically broadcast customized
messages based on the type and severity of the event.

Everbridge complies. The Everbridge suite offers some of the most powerful reporting tools in the
Critical Event Management market. The system provides reporting on your terms—the information
you want, exactly when you want it. These include reports for use during emergency activations as
well as afterwards. All reports can be exported.
NOTIFICATION DASHBOARD REPORTING (REAL-TIME REPORTING)
The notification dashboard is a reporting system that tracks notifications in real time, allowing you to
observe the results of the broadcast as they occur. Receiving real-time broadcast results allows you to
make faster, more informed decisions.
Real-time notification metrics available for each broadcast include full broadcast summary details, total
number of notification results (confirmations, not confirmed, confirmed late and unreachable or based
on polling responses) along with full delivery details that outline each individual within the broadcast,
their confirmation status, confirmation time, attempt time, first attempt time, confirmed path, polling
results and full call results information.

The dashboard reporting screen automatically refreshes every 60 seconds, or it can be manually
refreshed while the broadcast is active to provide up-to-the-second information. You can easily access
detail-level reporting to see who has received and confirmed messages and who has not.
BROADCAST REPORTS
Everbridge provides an automated Broadcast Report at the conclusion of each broadcast, providing full
broadcast summary details, total number of notification results(confirmations, not confirmed, confirmed
late and unreachable or based on polling responses)along with full delivery details that outline each
individual within the broadcast, their confirmation status, confirmation time, attempt time, first attempt
time, confirmed path, polling results, and full call results information. These reports are available online
through the Web-based administration console. They can also be automatically emailed or faxed at the
conclusion of a broadcast.
CUSTOMIZABLE AD HOC REPORTS
Everbridge also offers drag-and-drop ad-hoc reporting, which enables customers to create customized
reports using any of the contact information fields, including custom fields, to fit specific needs. A
graphical view of the reports can be displayed for quick data analysis. With the ability to build
customizable ad hoc reports, your reporting options are virtually unlimited. And they give you the ability
to drill down into the smallest detail of reporting data.
DETAILED NOTIFICATION ANALYSIS REPORTS
The Detailed Notification Analysis Report allows clients to investigate the delivery details, over time and
among all users targeted, for any notification campaign launched from the platform. Details about the
notification such as the settings that were configured for the deployment, confirmation status
information (with pie chart representation), and the overall number of delivery attempts made over time
(with line chart representation)are included in this report.
EVENT ANALYSIS REPORTS
Everbridge provides the ability for multiple messages to be viewed in a single report. Reports can be
filtered to include a single notification or multiple notifications. With the Event Analysis Reporting
feature, clients may look at all messages/response details related to a particular event in a graphical
and top-down style.
TRACKING OF POLLING RESPONSES
In regard to Polling Notifications, Everbridge supports the ability to track any response (defined by the
message initiator prior to launch)the recipient selects when the message is received. From a reporting
perspective, polling responses are available on a per-user and per-notification basis, which allows
clients to see individual responses as well as an aggregate number of responses collected among the
entire target audience.

E. Project Timeline
A project timeline or schedule of completion per task.
Since the City of Arcadia is fully implemented and simply renewing an existing contract, there is no need for a
project implementation timeline or schedule of completion per task. One of the benefits of staying with an
incumbent provider of services is that the City does not have to go through the time-consuming process of re-
implementing a system, getting used to the new system, and re-training your users on the use of the new
system. Plus, your message recipients are already used to your current mass notification system, and they
know how to use it. No one likes change!
