It allows for the almost instantaneous processing of load tickets, ensures that all necessary fields are complete, and allows for near real time reporting. Although tickets are issued electronically, paper tickets along with signatures are also provided for record keeping purposes. c,_.."""3::;:'':'';;:::::::'''':'':: ._.:::"_:~:_.:::"- :'3-"-'__ ~~;~ The data will be processed through the Mobile Command Center (described below) or one of our several offices, and then downloaded to our servers and processed through our enterprise GIS system. The information is then displayed graphically and disseminated via our customized web-interface. With the click of a button, the City will be able to visualize disposal site status, cumulative debris hauled, staging areas, and know when contractors have gone through an area, etc., by simply viewing the map and/or generating customized reports. This map can also be made available outside the Emergency Operations Center with an Internet connection and authorized access rights. Costs for using this system are usually offset by the reduction of data entry clerks needed to input thousands of tickets on a daily basis. In addition, these costs are reimbursable by FEMA and FHWA. One significant issue that affects various agencies during debris disposal operations is the potential for contractor fraud, the processing of illegible loads, and the entering of incorrect data from the field. With Metric's ADMSTM, these problems are virtually eliminated. There is less room for error since there are no hand-written tickets, and with the use of Smart Card technology, our electronic system of checks and balances prevents the entering of fraudulent tickets or "double loading". Part of our first response is to deploy our 100% self-contained Mobile Command Center (MCC), which is designed to function in post-disaster critical conditions where electricity and communications systems may be limited or unavailable. The MCC is powered by a 12kw Onan Quiet Generator and has a 100-gallon fuel capacity and a 50-gallon reserve tank. The MCC has sufficient fuel for 200 hours of continuous operation, is equipped with 5 work stations, 3 Dell Servers (GIS, Communications, Data) a Hewlett-Packard plotter, fax machine, VOIP telephone system, satellite communications system, internet connection, air conditioning, and a projection system which displays through a Holoscreen, allowing for the briefing of up to 50 people outside the Command unit. The Metric team will provide the City with a full service debris monitoring staff, including collection and disposal site monitors, as well as the administrative staff necessary to successfully complete the debris disposal operation. Metric maintains a database of over 300 trained monitors and supervisors in addition to our own FULL TIME staff of over 300 professionals statewide. Included in our ranks, are over 200 construction managers and inspectors who provide professional oversight on a variety of projects, ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal guidelines. In addition, Metric has agreements with local staffing agencies to add an additional 2,000 monitors if necessary. One of Metric's goals as members of the community is to put displaced workers from the local area back to work. Our policy is to also hire and train field monitoring staff from the local affected areas. Page 6
