9/24/2008
Exhibit A - RSDE Scope
Hurricane Ike Disaster Response
I. Background
It is our understanding that the City of La Porte needs to document safety concerns, residential
and infrastructure damage for compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
and possibly to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) due to Hurricane Ike
damage of residential structures. The HNTB Public Works Specialists can provide the service
level assistance required for local response and recovery. HNTB can also provide technical
assistance and assessment as required to support re-entry and recovery of critical infrastructure.
The purpose of this task order is to provide services associated with FEMA Residential
Substantial Damage Estimator (RSDE) and safety inspections.
II. Scope of Services
HNTB will provide the staffing to assist the City of La Porte with:
1. Recovery Coordination of affected Residential areas (Safety and RSDE inspections)
a. Utilization of the FEMA Residential Substantial Damage Estimator (RSDE) software
to assist City of La Porte and State of Texas officials in determining substantial damage
in accordance with the City of La Porte floodplain management ordinance and the
requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
b. Safety inspections, including documenting water availability, electricity availability,
structural stability, and other safety issues.
c. Identification of local capabilities and resource needs.
d. It is estimated that approximately 450 residential structures will require inspection.
e. It is understood that research on construction cost, central appraisal district values,
and other factors are critical in maximizing information to support the City in this
effort. These services will be performed by our subconsultant Sanderson Knox and
Co.
Prioritization will be based on discussions with and decisions reached by the City of La Porte,
Texas.
HNTB fully understands the immediate urgency of getting these residential areas assessed in
order to maximize the time and dollars needed from FEMA to rebuild. Key staff will be
available as needed to consult on developing issues and events.
2. Report in accordance with FEMA Public Assistance Program Requirements.
a. Effort includes specific location, photo documentation, narrative public and private
infrastructure description along with extent and degree of damage, initial analysis of
what action is required to safely secure the facility or to get the infrastructure back
into service and the initial cost estimate for repair and rehabilitation. Observations
will be made by trained staff and quality assurance and quality control will be
provided by trained and experienced staff. All information will be collected and
delivered electronically and tied directly to Geographic Information System (GIS)
coverage of the City of La Porte and surrounding area. HNTB will offer a WebPortal
Page 1 of3
Exhibit A - RSDE Scope
Hurricane Ike Disaster Response
that will provide up-to-the-day information as to where all aspects of the assignment
stand with GIS capability. The complexity and detail of this WebPortal will be
dependent on the available funds in this task order and the services desired by the
City.
3. Assist on Hazard Mitigation Grant Program and Increase Cost of Compliance
a. ICC isthe Increased Cost of Compliance that lets flood insurance policy holders do
an additional claim payment to help cover the cost of bringing a substantially damaged
or repetitively damaged building into compliance with the NFIP construction standards
for new buildings. HNTB can assist the City of La Porte in doing the ICC applications.
b. Assist in the application for the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program in order to
maximize the monies available to the City of La Porte
4. Public Involvement and Outreach
a. Coordinate public meetings to inform citizens of the progress of the recovery effort
5. Environmental Assessment and Engineering Analysis and Design
a. Assessment of the environmental issues surrounding La Porte.
b. Engineering Analysis and Design for reconstruction and redevelopment of residential
areas in La Porte.
III. Proposed Assessment Methodology
· Buildings will be identified by address. If more than one structure exists at a single address,
additional identification nomenclature will be used.
· Teams will be comprised of no less than two individuals. One of those two individuals will
meet technical qualification and/or experience minimum requirements as established for the
Program in coordination with City of La Porte Standards.
· It is the goal of the program to have teams accompanied by a La Porte Public Assistance
Program Specialist whenever possible; other Agency representatives are welcome to
accompany HNTB Corporation staff.
· Using the Residential Substantial Damage Estimator (RSDE) software (previously developed
information collection template by FEMA), the Teams will conduct visual inspection of the
asset. Causes of damage to the asset will be noted. Damage will be identified with the
specific location data necessary so the damaged item can be readily located again for review
with others (FEMA, etc.) including collection ofa digital photo of the damage. Where
possible the damage description should also provide enough information to support
preliminary determination of repair method and probable cost of repair. (NOTE: With the
understanding that these are preliminary damage assessments and additional assessment or
assessment by other means may be required for the purpose of contracting the work for
repair)
· The assessment findings will be recorded using Toughbooks, Ultra Mobile PCs, and/or
Trimble Units depending upon adequate availability and suitability for this application.
Page 2 of3
Exhibit A - RSDE Scope
Hurricane Ike Disaster Response
Information collected will include digital photographs of every damage item described and
GIS information. Images will be date-stamped. Data entry will also be date-stamped.
. At the end ofthe day, Teams will log the asset(s) assessed and upload the collected
information to a central data management application.
. The data download will be QA/QCed daily by technical specialists with the ability to add/edit
or delete information as needed. The QA/QC review will also verify that the photographs
correspond with other data collected and recorded.
. The cleansed data will be loaded into a central Geodatabase
· In the event that there is a need to re-inspect or assess the buildings, the re-assessment team's
data collection tool(s) will be pre-loaded with the information gathered by the preceding
team.
· Note that the protocols used by the teams will have a direct impact on the quality and
consistency of the data being gathered
· HNTB will coordinate with the City of La Porte to determine the method, format and
frequency of reporting of collected assessment information. Final format and type of
information will be developed based upon the City's needs.
v. Compensation
To accomplish the scope of services in this task order, rates included in Attachment B will be
utilized. Expenses for all direct costs associated with the project will be reimbursed by the City.
Deployed employees will require lodging, transportation/travel, and subsistence, field supplies,
safety equipment, etc. at approved Federal GSA/JTR rates.
For estimation purposes, the following will serve as a guide to determining the amount of the
contract value for these services.
1. Residential inspection - 2 hours per structure performed by a two-person team (estimated
at $123,000 for 562 structures). A cost/structure of $320.28/structure.
2. Oversight and management ofthe field personnel to provide coordination, training,
interaction with City personnel and other agencies (estimated at 27,000)
3. Sanderson Knox and Co. will provide construction cost estimates, evaluation of central
appraisal district values, and other required data (estimated at $15,000)
4. Direct expenses (estimated at $15,000)
Total = $180,000
VI. Services not included
1. HNTB's services are limited to the RSDE inspections for 450 homes described in this
scope of services. Only the services defined are included at a time and materials basis.
The fee estimate included is not a guarantee, as actual effort in the field may change due
to actual site conditions and coordination efforts required. HNTB will endeavor to work
quickly and efficiently.
2. Infrastructure inspections/evaluations are not included as part of this task order.
3. Grant applications ar~ not included as part of this task order.
