<br /> ASM's Hawaii Island office in Hilo is poised to quickly and efficiently meet any COH needs for
<br /> archaeological,historic preservation,CRM,or consultation services.With our close proximity and specialized
<br /> staff, we can also mobilize and respond to any COH emergency meetings, proposals, or projects, including
<br /> unanticipated discoveries of human skeletal remains or historic properties. Our Honolulu office location also
<br /> has convenient access to state agencies, archives, and libraries for rapid and effective research and record
<br /> searches. ASM has the ability and experience to quickly dispatch personnel, including Dr. Rechtman from
<br /> Hilo,to support any project or emergency needs.In addition to the two permanent offices and staff in Hawai`i,
<br /> ASM has built up an extensive network of qualified and proven on-call staff,specialized technicians,and sub-
<br /> consultants in Hawaii and in case of any especially large or emergency projects has the ability to rely on
<br /> ASM's full staff to ramp up from any of its other offices.
<br /> ASM's quality control objectives include providing quality technical reports as a basis for decision-making
<br /> by our clients; verifying that functional, legal, and environmental requirements are met; achieving cost-
<br /> effective solutions consistent with project requirements; obtaining process efficiency and consistency by
<br /> integrating reviews throughout the development of deliverables; documenting issues and concerns; assuring
<br /> accountability for the technical quality of deliverables; avoiding cost and schedule overruns; continued
<br /> development of technical expertise; and achieving a review process that includes early identification and
<br /> resolution of technical and policy issues.
<br /> At ASM our approach is to be as thorough and exacting as possible in the conduct of our work.Having a more
<br /> or less complete and accurate picture of the historical(archaeological,architectural,cultural)landscape at the
<br /> outset of a project, facilitates successful early planning and potentially precludes late-stage delays and
<br /> redesigns due to after the fact"new discoveries." In our effort to provide as complete a product as possible,
<br /> and to be as holistic as possible in our approach, we have a highly diversified staff, each member with their
<br /> respective expertise that are invested in and exemplify this approach.As a result,not only is our work product
<br /> superior, but our approach also helps to streamline processes with respect to timing and cost efficiency as
<br /> redundancy in research,planning,and execution are minimized if not eliminated.
<br /> ASM does not have any conflicts of interest in performing services for COH and/or the State of Hawai`i.We
<br /> have not received any Corrective Actions or Notices of Deficiencies from any government agency or private
<br /> entity. At this time there is no pending litigation or outstanding judgment(s) in which our office is a named
<br /> party.During the performance of these services,we attest that we will not participate in similar work involving
<br /> third party interests currently in conflict with or likely to be in conflict with COH or the State of Hawaii's
<br /> interest.
