REQUIREMENT: The Contractor shall provide a "handy," easy-to-read, full-color crisis management guide that briefly and concisely lists the step-by-step actions to be taken by an elementary or secondary classroom school teacher when faced with a hazard that places his/her students in jeopardy.

Present information in full-color in an easy-to-use and read hand-held "flip-page" format as follows: a. Proportion: The guide shall be relatively small and allow for "mounting" in a prominent classroom location. Dimensions should be consistent with the contractor's concept for visual aesthetics and rapid identification of individual hazards/responses. Our desired guide dimension is 5" by 8" however, not larger than 6" x9". b. Page Format and Limit: Guide pages shall be attractive and clearly display the page topic. The guide shall not exceed 50 pages in length. c. Topic Presentation and Organization. The guide shall be organized so that: (1) similar contingencies are grouped and recommended response actions to the individual hazards can be easily and quickly located. (2) Actions are simplistically presented from the teacher's perspective using a series of few words vice complete/complex sentences. A quick message format such as "bulleting" is desired vice paragraphs. (3) Actions listed are the most direct towards immediately removing children from harm's way. "Actions to be taken prompts" should be either sequential or go from "most critical step" to those of a lesser significance. (4) Actions are appropriate for directing children between the ages of 4 and 18 years. (5) An index is included for quick reference to desired topic action pages. d. Guide Covers. The front and back covers shall be visually striking so that it attracts attention vice "blends into the background" and allow for wall mounting. e. Guide Binding. "Spiral" or similar binding shall be used to facilitate quick action location of topic pages as well as the guide to remain open to the desired page once retrieved. Binding shall be sturdy, capable of sustaining rough handling and be replaceable. f. Guide Material. Paper used for the guide shall be of a durable quality capable of sustaining repeated handling-something similar to Xerox Digital Color Durapaper. Color printing should be considered especially if it adds to the visual recognition of location or steps to be taken. C.
