Data Gathering <br />II. Analysis and Alternative Identification <br />III Recommendation Development <br />IV. Report Preparation and Presentation <br />Data Gathering will requhc approximately two weeks on site and another week off site, <br />including meeting with key individuals from the volunteer departments, rescue squads, and <br />EMS, as well as from county administration and planning. We will provide information <br />requests shortly after we are approved to begin the project; most information can probably <br />be provided electronically. <br />Analysis and Alternative Identification will require approximately two weeks. We will <br />provide an outline report as promised for review that will provide insights into the <br />direction of our report. The draft report will provide an opportunity to identify any areas <br />where additional data needs to be gathered or where misinformation needs to be rectified. <br />It will also allow us to review our thoughts with affected fire rescue personnel and obtain <br />their comments. <br />Recommendation Development will require approximately thice weeks, depending on the <br />additional information needs or comments received. We will work on finalizing our <br />recommendations and perform our economic analysis to determine funding needs and <br />financial benefits. <br />Report Preparation will require two weeks, after which time we will provide the <br />administration with the required copies of the report. We will also prepare a power point <br />presentation for the Connnission and any other interested parties, It may be desirable to <br />make this presentation to fire, rescue and EMS personnel. <br />We utilize a management tool for following the tasks against scope that is used by <br />professional consulting firms to ensure successful task completion and consistent <br />movement toward meeting engagement objectives. That is also the basis for our bi- <br />weekly reports. <br />10
