Proposal to Update the City 01 Redwood City Emergency Operations Plan B. TEAM QUALIFICATIONS Aanko Technologies Inc. is a California Certified Minority and Veteran-owned Small Business Enterprise providing safety and security solutions. Since the summer of 1997 the Aanko Technologies Inc. team (Aanko) of "hands-on" professionals has been involved in all aspects of prevention, response and recovery activities, including security vulnerability assessments, emergency plans development, training and exercises. Our team is specifically qualified to perform this EOP development because we bring local and relevant experience to cost effectively complete this project within 10 weeks of project initiation. The Aanko Team comes from a broad multicultural background and is part of corporate, county and healthcare antiterrorism, safety and security advisory groups throughout the country. We have emergency management experts, professional engineers, security specialists, Intergovernmental Affairs experts, industrial hygienists and ex-military,law enforcement, and firefighters as part of our multidisciplinary team. Highlights of Aanko's experience specific to the proposed project follow. Port of Redwood City, CA. Led by Mr. Steve Longoria as Project Manager, Aanko was selected to carry out a Security Vulnerability Assessment of the port and develop its Facility Security Plan under the Maritime Security Act; develop the Emergency Response Plan and Continuity of Operations Plan under the National Incident Management System, and initiate and evaluate drills and exercises against the plan. In addition, Aanko was selected to develop all tenant Facility Security Plans, resulting in a complete integrated plan for day-to-day and emergency response and recovery operations. Threat, criticality, consequence and vulnerability assessments from airborne, sea borne or land based attacks, as well as natural and technical events were analyzed. Plans against those threats and a wide range of other potential emergencies (fire, power outage, etc), designed for continued maximum performance of essential functions, were then developed. The plans also led to creation of alternate business facilities, memoranda of agreements with selected vendors for emergency operations and support, and training of staff on projected responsibilities and tasks. In addition to these taskings, Aanko provided an assessment of existing security infrastructure and developed successful grants for the Port to fund security fencing along its restricted areas and erect guardhouses along its wharves. Aanko developed the RFPs for the security improvements, assisted in contractor proposal evaluations and provided construction management assistance to the Port engineers. Cities ofVacaville and Fairfield Public Drinking Water Vulnerability Assessments; Solano Irrigation Water Utility Public Drinking Water Vulnerability Assessments; integrated Emergency Operations Plans. Aanko was contacted by the cities of Vacaville and Fairfield, and the Solano Irrigation Water Utility to conduct vulnerability assessments of their water systems under USEP A guidelines to comply with the 2002 Bioterrorism Act and to work with the cities to develop emergency operations plans for the integrated water systems. Aanko's solutions were to conduct vulnerability assessments of infrastructure including wells, distribution lines, reservoirs, pump stations and other facilities, and provide performance-based recommendations for security enhancement. Aanko developed the emergency response operations plans for the three integrated systems, and assisted the cities in merging the respective Aanko Technologies Inc. www.aanko.com 4
