PUBLIC PROTECTION CLASSIFICATION" Dear Mr. Barker: I am very interested in providing consulting services to the City of Round Rock for "I.S.O. Public Protection Classification". I am uniquely qualified to assist the City of Round Rock. I performed ISO Public Protection Classifications for over 26 years while employed with ISO. During that time I surveyed over 650 communities. A fire station study was part of each survey. As a consultant have performed approximately 100 additional surveys. 1 enjoy the endorsement of the Texas Fire Chiefs Association (TFCA) to perform this type of consulting. I edited ratings for over 11 years as an ISO employee. For three (3) of these years, instructed at the two-week annual school in Maryland. Without the experience and knowledge obtained as a reviewer and instructor, no one could totally comprehend the ISO rating process. As indicated throughout this Request for Qualifications, what this request seeks is exactly what I have done for over 100 Texas communities as a consultant. In each community I have met the timeline outlined in my proposal. RFQ for the City of Round Rock "I.S.O.

Public Protection Classification" Procurement Number 06-003 Specification Number 06-918-81 November 2005 Submitted by: Mike Pietsch, P.E. Consulting Services, Inc. Overall Explanation of Scope of Work I wanted to explain these individual Scopes of Work with how my services work. The key to my services is that when I perform a grading scenario and provide the community a list of suggested improvements a great deal of the information required to fill out the pre - survey packet will be assimilated at that time. Therefore, when 1 fill out the pre -survey packet it is obviously less time consuming than if I had not performed the grading scenario and corresponding list of suggested improvements. The same holds true for assisting the community when the ISO Field Representative visits the community and performs his field survey. If I have filled out his pre -survey packet then I am familiar with the infrastructure of the community as it pertains to the ISO rating. This makes it Tess time consuming when transferring the information to the Field Representative. To Evaluate the Existing Facilities, Prepare a Grading Scenario along with Creating the Corresponding List of Suggested Improvements would require one site visit. To complete the aforementioned along with preparing the ISO Pre -Survey Packet and Assisting the ISO Field Representative during his survey of Round Rock would require three site visits. The normal process is as follows: I visit Round Rock and obtain the information to accurately grade your community. However, I do not assimilate the extensive amount of support data required by ISO to document your answers. When I obtain the required information I will return to my home office and grade Round Rock as though I was the Field Representative. This grading will show, to two decimal places, what Round Rock would grade with its existing infrastructure. When the grading is complete I will compile a list of suggested improvements. Each improvement will show, again to two decimal places, how much that improvement will add to the overall grading for the City of Round Rock. After your city staff analyzes these improvements and implements the ones that are economically feasible within the budget constraints of Round Rock we will request an ISO survey. At that time, ISO will assign a Field Representative. Once the Field Representative is assigned, he will send you his pre -survey packet. At that time I will return to Round Rock and together we will complete this packet. We also will assimilate the support data required to document the answers to this packet. I am the only person doing this type of consulting that actually knows what the Field Representative requires. The following Fire Chiefs will confirm this last statement: Cleve Calagna (The Villages), Richard Lazarus, (Longview), J.D. Gardner (Pasadena), Dannie Smith (Sugar Land), Harry Simms (Texarkana), Mark Kerby (Mesquite), and Roberto Rivera (El Paso). All of these Chiefs were amazed at what was and was not required.

Consulting Services, Inc. of the above mentioned Chiefs would reinforce that this documentation would have required weeks to compile and they would still not have had what the Field Representative actually needed. After the packet is complete we will set a time for the Field Representative to visit Round Rock. At a mutually convenient time we will complete the field survey. 1 will be with the City of Round Rock during the entire survey process to guarantee the seamless transfer of information.

Public Protection Classification" Procurement Number 06-003 Specification Number 06-918-81 November 2005 Submitted by Mike Pietsch, P.E. Consulting Services, Inc. 3.0 Scope of Work 3.1 Evaluate Existing Facilities 3.2 Prepare a Grading Scenario 3.3 Create a List of Suggested Improvements The first stage of the work to be performed will be a grading scenario based on the existing fire defense infrastructure of Round Rock. My study will demonstrate a grading point total to two decimal places that should result if an ISO rating survey were requested. I have performed this service for over 100 communities as a consultant. In over 25 communities that have also undergone the rating process, all have exceeded or equaled the initial point total I developed. Based on the grading scenario a List of Suggested Improvements will be developed that will demonstrate, again to two decimal places, how much implementing each suggestion will improve the grading point total. This way the City of Round Rock can analyze each suggestion and implement the suggestions that are within the budget constraints of the City of Round Rock. RFQ for the City of Round Rock "I.S.O.

Mike Pietsch worked as an engineer for ISO (Insurance Services Office) for over 26 years performing Public Protection Surveys. During the 26 years he located fire stations in over 650 communities. Accurately locating fire stations is part of any Public Protection Grading. These communities ranged in size from 200 in population to the population of the City of Houston. In the 1980's he performed the rating for the City of Killeen. For over 3 years he served as a principal member of the NFPA 1901 Committee that sets the standards for fire apparatus. Mike is a Registered Professional Civil Engineer in the State of Texas with a Masters Degree in Civil Engineering from Southern Methodist University. Mike is an Associate Member of the Texas Municipal League (TML), a member of the Texas Society of Professional Engineers, an associate member of the Texas Fire Chiefs Association (TFCA), a member of the National Chapter of Chi Epsilon Honorary Engineering Fraternity, serves as a Principal Member of NFPA 1901 with a position on the Functions and Foam Task Groups, and a member of the National Society of Professional Engineers. In September of 2002 Mike retired from ISO and began a consulting business assisting communities to improve their ISO rating. On October 11, 2002 he received the Texas Fire Chiefs Association's Endorsement to perform this consulting. He is the only consultant in The United States that enjoys the endorsement of a State Fire Chiefs Association. As a consultant he has performed fire station studies in over 100 communities in order to assist these communities in improving their ISO rating. In fact, each community that has utilized Mike's services has improved at least two ISO classifications (for example, El Paso from a 3 to a 1). Mike is uniquely qualified to perform the Fire Station Location Study for the City of Killeen. No other consultant will have the insight to locate the fire stations and suggest the specific engine, ladder, and service companies (company implies apparatus and firefighters) that should be housed at the stations in order to maximize the ISO rating for Killeen. I seriously doubt that any other consultant will have the ability to even assess the ISO rating for the City of Killeen.

The ISO grading process is too tedious to master for this one career event. Over 26 years working exclusively with Public Protection Classifications for ISO Excellent relationship with the ISO Field Representatives currently surveying communities in Texas and the PPC Oversight Representative from The State Fire Marshal's Office I will provide you the following services at an affordable cost: • Properly locate existing and future fire stations • Evaluate your alternative water supply to determine if it meets the minimum ISO requirements to eliminate Class 9 areas • Evaluate the Public Protection Classification {PPC) that ISO last developed for your community • Generate an updated PPC for your community based on the existing fire defense infrastructure and prepare a list of suggested improvements, which, if implemented, would improve your community's PPC • Explain all 14 items (and the Texas Addendum) that comprise your ISO rating to two decimal places • Explain to your community (again to two decimal places) how improvements in your fire defenses, planned. or implemented, will affect your ISO PPC • Assist your fire jurisdiction throughout the ISO survey process — from the letter to request a survey to the exit interview. • Complete all the necessary forms allowing the various departments within your community to continue with their nonoral daily activities • Represent your community during the ISO survey, to free your city officials to concentrate on their normal daily activities • Explain the complexities of the Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRS). For example: • Paid, volunteer and combination departments • Automatic Aid vs. Mutual Aid • Training — How to present your data • Pump testing — What is actually required • Water distribution system testing — flow tests • Locating fire stations to minimize costs and maximize ISO credits • Fire Service Communications • Structural calculations — a very important aspect of the grading process • Texas Addendum • Hauled Water • Extended hose lays • Large Diameter Hose (LDH) credits Following are quotes from Texas Fire Chiefs that I have worked with during the last five years: "...Mike's ongoing efforts helped improve the PPC of the six communities comprising the Villages. Several communities improved 3 classes with Mike's help. I would recommend his services to any community that was seriously trying to improve their PPC rating..."
