Hawaii Statement of Qualifications <br /> Section 6 provides descriptions of selected projects within the following categories to better illustrate our services, <br /> experience, and expertise in the field of Community Planning. <br /> A. MASTER PLANNING <br /> Whether community, port, or facility based, Tetra Tech has the experience and technical expertise to accomplish <br /> Master Planning projects for all applications. Tetra Tech has extensive international development experience, in <br /> addition to providing related services for communities within the United States. This includes related activities and <br /> Master Planning drivers such as hazard mitigation,flood plain management,zoning and long-term economic and utility <br /> planning. Under a contract with the State of New York,Tetra Tech assisted multiple communities with Master Planning <br /> activities related to reconstruction and rebuilding in the aftermath of Super Storm Sandy. <br /> B. STRATEGIC PLANNING <br /> Either as a formalized process or in the context of providing other services, Tetra Tech is frequently called upon to <br /> provide or assist jurisdictions, ports, and utilities with strategic planning.Tetra Tech has the capability of performing all <br /> stages of strategic planning, starting with threat and hazard assessments and continuing with a capability assessment <br /> to determine if appropriate resources and capabilities exist to address defined threats or hazards. Deficiencies are <br /> usually outlined in a Gap Analysis, and used to identify need-based strategic planning objectives. Ultimately the <br /> Strategic Plan outlines and prioritizes the allocation of future investments of time, staffing and funding. While strongly <br /> rooted in evidentiary analysis,Tetra Tech understands that strategic planning must also balance stakeholder input and <br /> often competing priorities. Tetra Tech utilizes a collaborative process that promotes stakeholder input in order to build <br /> consensus. This method has proven effective completing complex projects such as the Strategic Plan for the Los <br /> Angeles/Long Beach Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) and development of the comprehensive strategic plan for <br /> the Hawaii region under the Regional Catastrophic Planning Grant Program in 2014. Recently, Tetra Tech has <br /> supported strategic planning for clients such as the City of Houston, with updating the City's Comprehensive <br /> Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) and 19 emergency support functions. Additionally, Tetra Tech supported the <br /> Valley Transportation Authority(VTA)with gap analysis findings and threat and vulnerability assessment pieces. <br /> C. EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND PLANNING <br /> Tetra Tech enjoys a reputation as a leader in homeland security and emergency preparedness. We have successfully <br /> completed hundreds of emergency preparedness and response planning projects for local, state, and federal clients, <br /> including extensive support within Hawaii. This includes Hawaii specific hazards, such as tsunamis and catastrophic <br /> hurricanes, as well as their related elements such as evacuations, shelter operations, utility resumption, debris <br /> management, health and human services,and command and control.Our team is also recognized as a leader in multi- <br /> jurisdictional homeland security planning and members of our team have contributed to the development of the <br /> Emergency Management Accreditation Program (EMAP)Standard, the Core Capabilities List, and other foundational <br /> documents. Tetra Tech has completed emergency planning projects for all four Hawaiian counties and the State <br /> including revisions and rewrites to Emergency Operations Plans(EOP),Hazard Mitigation Plans(HMP),HazMat Plans, <br /> and other response annexes. <br /> D. TRAINING AND EXERCISES <br /> In addition to emergency preparedness planning, Tetra Tech is also a leader in providing associated training and <br /> exercises for validation purposes. Tetra Tech has extensive expertise in developing seminars, workshops, drills and <br /> exercises for a wide variety of topics and is established as a preeminent firm in the use and application of the Homeland <br /> Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP),which is often required when utilizing federal grant funding.Tetra <br /> TETRA TECH Page 2 <br />
