Mr. Buren August 15, 2005 PROPOSAL TO PREPARE HAZARDOUS MATERIAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE AREA PLAN FOR SANTA ANA FIRE DEPARTMENT, SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA Page 2 of 6 • monitoring status, communication/contact information and other pertinent data essential for the Area Plan information base. • Obtain existing emergency protocol and contact information used in Incident Command System organizational processes. Prepare an Area Plan specific for the jurisdictional boundaries of Santa Ana in accordance with the guidelines set forth by the California Health and Safety Code as presented in the section below. • Provide SAFD with up- loadable media of a completed Area Plan after the reviewing office (Office of Emergency Services) has given their approval. Additional IT services can be provided pending the needs of SAFD. It is Tait's understanding that we will be working with a relational- interactive database. The assumption is that we would be only adding a new layer or two of data into Santa Ana's existing database. However, the extensiveness of Tait's involvement could evolve dependent on how specific the information is, it's source type (e.g. type of database, program or document type, and the usability of the data), and where it was derived, what Santa Ana's requirements are for the maintenance of the Area Plan and its functional elements. It also depends how often the plan will be updated, and how much management time Santa Ana will require Tait to be involved with the site /application. If a more in -depth perspective is required, Tait would need access to SAFD's existing application and database to research the requirements to ascertain the level of effort needed to complete the job, and may require a budget adjustment.
