Q: Will office space be provided to the selected contractor? Collier County can make "break-out room" space available for up to 10 individuals at the Emergency Operations Center without charge for a period not to exceed 60 days. Will office equipment and support be available? A: Collier County can provide wireless internet connectivity,and 5 landline phones in the Emergency Operations Center without charge for a period not to exceed 60 days. Computers will not be available. Color and Black and white printing, copying and color maps will be charged at the prevailing rate per copy of the County's leased copier equipment per page charge -payable net thirty(30)days. 2. Q: Page 35, #11 • How often would the vendor require coordination meetings? A: It is Collier County Emergency Management's desire that the vendor meet in March and July of each year jointly with all consortium members to review,evaluate and train on current and best practices as it relates to assembly and nuances of FEMA Project Worksheet data needs, current FEMA policies and concerns, and other topics of interest. A two(2)business day format is suggested at each visit in March and July whereby a joint half day session could occur for mutual concerns of all consortium members and the remaining 1.5 day would be available for each consortium member to have one on one meetings. 3. Q: Has the Consortium and/or county identified standard positions in order to compare rates with other vendors, i.e., Project Manager,Public Assistance Coordinator,Insurance Specialist, Environmental Engineer, Administrative, etc. If so, please provide. A: Collier County has not identified standard positions as this is a new effort by the County. 4. Q: Will the selected vendor mobilize to the Collier County EOC during disaster operations to begin planning for recovery operations? A: The County would reserve the right receive a quote and issue a task order to deploy before landfall if feasible or immediately following landfall at its discretion. 5. Q: Will the selected firm conduct an assessment of existing PA recovery documents, i.e., plans,procedures, guidance? A: If the County chooses to have a firm review existing recovery documents or intervene in pending FEMA PW activity,including the current Fire Management Assistance Grant the County would request a quote for such services and issue a purchase order or task order for such work. There are no requirements to have the vendor(s)review current work at the present time without charge. It is assumed that the vendor(s)would like to meet with consortium members to discuss in general terms what recovery business processes are presently in place so a fast-start can be initiated at the next emergency event.Such assessment of the current business processes for the consortium would be at no-charge. 6. Q: Clarify what information is sought in the requirement to"describe contacts and relationships with your other clients and interaction with FEMA and state agencies".Page 6, Tab II, bullet seven. A: Collier County and its consortium members expressed concern that a large hurricane event would stretch the capabilities of most firms if they had multiple awards within the impacted region, thereby delaying services and expertise to Collier County and the consortium members. Demonstration that Collier County and the Consortium members would be a high priority client is preferred. 7. Q: Please define"lead project staff'. Is this the primary point of contact or any staff with supervisory responsibility or some other standard?Page 6,Tab III,bullet two? A: Collier County and the Consortium members as individual governmental units would be tasking and paying individually for services. Each governmental unit could assign a supervisory level staff liaison to address each project worksheet or related effort. 8. Has the Selection Committee been identified? Yes If so, does it include members of the"Consortium"? Yes If so,which ones? A: Currently,the members severing are from the City of Marco,Naples Airport Authority, Collier Mosquito Control District and Collier County Public Schools. 9.

Between 2005 and 2007 a team of up to 30 technical, management and administrative staff qualified, estimated, and documented losses for processing through insurance and disaster aid programs. Property, revenue, and extra expense losses in excess of$247,000,000 were stated under multiple coverage limits and resulted in over 350 FEMA PA Project worksheets. In 2008 and 2009 the Port was impacted by Hurricanes Gustav and Ike requiring the management of multiple federal declarations and overlapping PA project funding requests.We conceived and negotiated an alternate funding option where the entire Port district was considered the damaged facility.This option, referred to as the "system approach"allowed the redistribution of PA funds anywhere within the Port region (improved project) due to lost functional capacities imposed by regional mitigation actions (closed Mississippi River Gulf Outlet). We conceived and executed an insurance proration, allocation, and offset process to account for ineligible losses and insurance contributions (business interruption)within a calculated maximum PA program contribution.The calculation allowed consideration for claims processing expenses such as legal,financial, public adjusting administrative expenses (including direct administrative costs) under the PA program.The use of this approach combined with the award of insurance waivers for each of three events resulted in an increase in PA funding for Hurricane Katrina of$58,000,000 for reconstruction efforts. Between 2010 and 2011 our staff assisted the Port with an OIG interim audit of Hurricane Katrina grants. The Port was found to have accounted for and expended FEMA grant funds according to federal regulations and FEMA guidelines. Of the $70,000,000 reviewed a single recommendation to de-obligate $670,000 due to unspent estimated project costs.The audit acknowledged that the insurance offset process was incomplete and the finding was resolved with no consequence.

The Tidal Basin team's broad-based support services are designed to help maximize federal funding, expedite the process, and retain funds during the closeout audit. Our team has dealt with coastal and river flooding during our extensive engagements with Katrina and Sandy. We will work to advise the County, and help develop a priority-based plan that maximizes funding from all sources such as PA, NFIP, FHWA and CDBG. The Tidal Basin team is unique in that we deliver a total financial recovery solution that includes FEMA Public Assistance, FEMA Individual Assistance, FHWA ER Program, HMGP, insurance consulting, HUD CDBG, and other disaster relief funding integration as what we call the Total Solution®.We have also offered insurance adjusting and FEMA consulting together since 1996.The significance of our understanding of each area of expertise-insurance and the FEMA Public Assistance program and how each work together and complement each other-is a major difference between our team and all other TIDAL BASIN I 24 Response to Collier County RFP 1 7-71 16 for Disaster Recovery Consulting Services competitors.We will help the County to develop and Disaster R :' v ry Process maintain a grant si§Qi A management and recovery strategy that includes tt„�Rt,•r 4°' ' hazard mitigation; yI ...Fuadinq Stridev,)..................Fomiam\pp{iontitrn......_....Prnjtet implimnintonno Clowns; •y formulate project PrOP.•rs> Claim Strategy aletm Adjusting alas„ Ra4o"• I worksheets(PW)that are In..,rut,cr Develop- Pracoss Sattle cpiatiott c"iaim Lasa Asseaumeni. meat Ment wI FEMA ; fully coordinated with the insurance claim settlement process;accurately track 3)UCU- T1*& 2Rrto• taunt t.61im Prosugk R€°P,lh Mast. a amu. mrst n projects;and provide xnentazion i„7 ;�.

Our team will also develop priority and plan-based project formulation to keep funds flowing while logically formulating longer-term projects e.g. Section 428,Alternate, Improved, etc.We have experience with CDBG funding and experience in combining programs to minimize local match, specifically under 404 and will ensure that all legal responsibility and OFA issues are handled appropriately. Due specifically to our involvement with Hurricane Sandy in New York and New Jersey,Alaska's and Hawaii's recent disasters and the numerous clients we served in response to Hurricane Matthew,we are current on the various nuances and policy changes associated with the PA program, including the implications of the Sandy Recovery Improvement Act 2013 (SRIA);Alternative Procedures Pilot Programs for Debris Removal, Permanent Work, Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006, and Dispute Resolution;Assistance Program and Policy Guide (PAPPG) FP 104-009-2 and Section 324 Management Costs and Direct Administrative Costs. EOC Support Services Our incident support staff have extensive experience within Florida dealing in an all-hazard environment to plan for, respond to,and recover from disaster occurrences.Actual incidents include numerous tropical cyclones, severe weather events,tornados,floods, oil spill responses, bio and chemical hazardous materials, mass immigration, urban search and rescue, aviation crashes and civil riots and unrest. Regardless of experience, continued education is extremely important. Our staff will Participate annually in WebEOC training with Emergency Services to ensure our methods and information are up to date and will be most useful to the County. In the event that a disaster escalates to a proportion where the County requires addition Emergency Operations Center(EOC) support services, our team can provide Incident Management Support Teams (IMSTs)to support and augment staffing at the Collier County EOC.This service allows local jurisdictions TIDAL BASIN ' 25 Response to Collier County RFP 1 7-71 16 for Disaster Recovery Consulting Services to maintain continuity of government while effectively managing the incident.We can provide short-term and long-term staff support to assist the County with its Incident Management System (e.g., operations section chief, planning section chief, logistical section chief, finance/admin section chief, or Emergency Support Functions (ESF) positions, based on need and the level of response). Our team can provide subject matter experts (SMEs) comprehensively experienced in all components of the National Incident Management System (NIMS), the Incident Command System (ICS) and the National Response Framework (NRF).When activated, our personnel shall be prepared to integrate with the County staff, and shall function as an integral part of the EOC staffing. However, decision-making authority shall remain at all times with the County Emergency Management staff. All of our SMEs have the extensive, in-depth experience necessary to staff the EOC supporting the command and general staff in the areas of command, operations, planning, logistics, administration/finance, liaison, public information, safety, or Emergency Support Functions (ESF) positions during an extended emergency event, as necessary.All SME staff members have written, produced and managed hundreds of incident action plans during large emergencies, disasters, and pre-planned events. Additionally, our staff has extensive experience working in Multiagency Coordination Systems/Emergency Operations Centers, Area Command and Unified and Single Command Posts. All services shall comply with and conform to industry standards,the National Incident Management System, Incident Command System, and National Response Plan/National Response Framework, as defined by the Department of Homeland Security, National Integration Center (NIC) Incident Management Systems Division and state and local emergency plans and procedures, including the County's and State of Florida's CEMPs.

In addition,we will assist the County to implement an effective project formulation strategy and to track the development of project worksheets and any related Objective 8 Closeout change orders, paying close attention tote accurate and complete quantification of damages. TIDAL BASIN I 26 Response to Collier County RFP 1 7-71 16 for Disaster Recovery Consulting Services We work in close coordination with all relevant stakeholders to ensure that state and federal regulations are being followed, and that policy requirements are met related to versioning PWs.As projects are versioned,we will work with the County to collect the necessary documentation to support proper reconciliation of work completed, R..6:0t as well as work yet to be completed.We work closely with all f" } relevant departments throughout the process, providing training r '5; and guidance to help the County prepare for closeout and audit from the outset of your recovery.Our consultants also serve as a centralized program management resource to facilitate the coordination and communication for the County, guiding key staff through the preparation of a program management plan, and providing decision makers with the information they need to drive the recovery from beginning to end-all with an eye to FEMA eligibility and compliance. Our closed-loop management process provides both oversight and control over both technical and management aspects of the program. Our Program Management approach includes regular internal and external meetings/reviews,to assess overall progress, identify and manage risks, ensure close coordination, and foster effective internal and external team communications.We measure and assist with all critical aspects of the program's progress to monitor trends and react in a timely manner as the County necessitates. Our plan is designed to provide continuous management and improve customer visibility into program technical, cost, schedule, and risk performance. If requested, our consultants will assist the County to: • Develop a Management Approach (Plan) o Assist in the development of the County's Disaster-Recovery Team o Determine roles and responsibilities • Emergency planning • Disaster recovery • Mitigation planning o Facilitate communications and coordination • Determine losses o Clean-up and emergency response o Evaluate construction contracts, construction cost estimates, and codes and standards Buildings/Equipment/Supplies o Road/Utilities/Recreation o Immediate needs funding o Temporary relocation costs • Categorize losses and prioritize funding source potential o Insurance Extra Expense and Property o FEMA categories A-G o Responsibility of other Federal Agency o Special Considerations (Historical, Environmental, Floodplain, etc.) • Determine project eligibility and cost allowability determinations o Fully describe and document loss elements o Provide verification and reporting, o Research and maintain appropriate documentation of activities • Develop and maintain a comprehensive recovery strategy o Assist with design and scope development TIDAL BASIN I 27 Response to Collier County RFP 1 7-71 16 for Disaster Recovery Consulting Services o Discuss mitigation options and help formulate approach • Section 406 Hazard mitigation funds o Prepare project worksheets and damage inspection reports o Documentation preparation and review • HMGP applications • LMS strategy • Emergency Management Plan • Develop a funding approach o Identify and document any changes o Document unaccounted-for damages, change orders, or other issues, which require versioning of the PW • Implementation Plan o Development of applicable project worksheets and proposals o Completion of approved projects o Make routine site visits to evaluate progress, performance and compliance o Provide verification and reporting, as well as appropriate documentation of activities o Attend progress meetings o Prepare and maintain detailed project files, reviewing all addenda for eligibility and compliance • Final inspection and closeout o Assist the County with change order processing and review o Manage/oversee any required owner-furnished testing and inspection services o Maintain schedules of documentation deadlines and construction milestones o Provide ongoing monitoring and status reporting to the County Our consultants put their unparalleled technical expertise to work on behalf of the County, analyzing insurance-related issues as they relate to specific projects-not just applying a one-size-fits-all approach to insurance considerations.We then break these down into understandable components and key decision points, always taking the approach of educating and mentoring our federal, state, and local counterparts in the intricacies and specific applications of insurance considerations. Appeals are an important part of the PA program. According to a December 2009 OIG report,the average processing time for first appeals is seven months, with second appeals extending the timeline an average of 10 additional months; resulting in an appeal process that in some cases can span several years. Because the appeal process can add months, and even years, to the timeline of a project, the Tidal Basin team makes every effort to ensure clear and ongoing communication, and to proactively identify contentious issues.We work toward swift resolution of these issues and to clear up any misunderstandings in the field, before they enter the time-consuming appeals process. When appeals do become necessary, however, our team has unsurpassed expertise to assist the County in articulating its position.We have drafted for numerous sub-recipients successful first and/or second appeals. Our team is fully qualified to apply its combined insurance and FEMA PA experience to untangling and resolving insurance-related closeout issues. In fact, we have assisted numerous applicants to appeal incorrect de-obligation determinations by FEMA that were based on misunderstandings regarding insurance claim settlements and their impact on FEMA funding. For example, this specialized knowledge TIDAL BASIN I 28 Response to Collier County REP 1 7-71 16 for Disaster Recovery Consulting Services has resulted in more than $53 million in insurance-related de-obligation reversals for New York State sub- recipients following Hurricane Sandy. Tidal Basin can respond to Collier County in 24 to 48 hours of any disaster. Steps the County should take to initiate our firm's response are simple: • We will assist the County in preparing the Task Order or Notice to Proceed documentation.We will receive the Notice to Proceed and verify our resources available to deploy to the disaster location. • We will then send out an activation message to our available personnel. • We will secure airfare and other travel accommodations for our staff. • We will deploy within 24-48 hours of notification and activation. We maintain a strong regional presence in the South, with our During Hurricane Matthew,we Melbourne and Ft. Lauderdale locations being our primary operations had 8 contracts activated centers for the County. However, we have immense support from our simultaneously: • corporate headquarters and trainingfacilitylocated in Utica, New York, Bryan County,GA p q • Clay County,FL along with more than 45 offices throughout the country to support the • Flagler County,FL County.We are confident of our ability to respond quickly and • City of Flagler Beach,FL effectively, without risk of airline- or distance-based delays,to the needs • Pender County,NC of the County.

We are local experts with national expertise- eager to demonstrate our dedication to the County. FEMA 404 and 406 Hazard Mitigation Expertise Hazard mitigation funding is one of the most often overlooked and underutilized aspects of the PA program.The Tidal Basin team focuses on actively identifying and educating clients regarding hazard mitigation opportunities and ranking exiting long-term capital plan priority projects.We will work with the County to take advantage of this additional funding to strengthen and improve infrastructure,taking every opportunity to protect against future damage.This includes actively seeking out opportunities to build Section 406 hazard mitigation projects into PWs, as well as documenting opportunities for 404 Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funding.We deliver this via a coordinated approach to mitigation that takes full advantage of disaster relief(406) and hazard mitigation assistance (HMA) program funding. If CDBG-DR funds become available, the Tidal Basin team can help integrate those funds in to help cover required FEMA match expenses to reduce out-of-pocket expenses to the County. Financial and Grant Management Support One of our core competencies is successfully guiding clients through the ins and outs of developing an appropriate grant management strategy, including determinations of how to organize projects and which to select for improved or alternate project status.What is best for the County's recovery and rebuilding is not always as straightforward as replacing damaged facilities exactly as they were prior to the storm. TIDAL BASIN I 29 Response to Collier County RFP 17-7116 for Disaster Recovery Consulting Services While the PA program was designed to accommodate this reality,the guidelines and parameters are open to interpretation and contingent upon specific circumstances.We have proven experience when it comes to assisting clients with decisions on whether to repair or replace, how to fund required code upgrades, and how to strategize and present hazard mitigation opportunities.We are also familiar with FEMA's application of its new PA Pocket Guide,which provides guidance to FEMA field staff regarding the formulation of projects and allows for your logical groupings of projects to maximize funding and minimize administrative burdens. Tidal Basin is an industry leader in automated record keeping due to our state of the art software portal, Tempest-GEMS for project and grant management. • Tempest-GEMS—Tempest-GEMS is a grant expense management system designed for US federal grants.Tempest-GEMS simplifies financial tracking. It collects and collates required documents. It advises users if they are missing documents.The application includes policy self- assessment tools.And, it scores the compliance of each procurement effort. Tempest-GEMS prevents errors such as failure to follow federal procurement law, failure to provide supporting evidence of expenditure, and duplication of expenses. 1 The tools are more than just grant expense management, but also provide: o Document management o Compliance management o Time tracking o PW tracking and status Our goal at all times is to provide guidance that allows maximum ....

Our role is to work as an advocate on the County's behalf proactively addressing any misunderstandings or problems involving any aspect of eligibility,funding, or the FEMA PA Program in general.We have interacted with representatives at all levels of FEMA, helping to clarify and challenge, when necessary, policies and procedures that proved—for recipients and sub-recipients—too onerous or counter-intuitive to the intentions of the PA Program. In concert with the Finance and Administration Department, we have the capability to reduce the risks associated with incomplete or inaccurate submissions for reimbursement.Because the TB team specializes in the FEMA PA Program, the County is at minimal risk for having PWs and other program documentation rejected due to incompleteness and/or inaccuracies. That's the Tidal Basin difference! There are also no other respondents that have our level of insurance knowledge, particularly as it applies to the FEMA PA program-a factor which, given the 24% OIG audit failure rate associated with insurance issues, is critical to maximizing disaster relief funding for State applicants and resolving closeout issues. The TB Team will assist the County in proactively addressing multiple issues and challenges in the administration of the FEMA PA program. We will strategically advise and guide County staff on the rules,regulations, common practices, acceptable procedures, and share/demonstrate specific knowledge of tracking costs (to include DAC) for the facilitation and reimbursement of costs to both clients as well as contractor personnel. The TB team has successfully completed recipient closeouts for New York State and Alaska, as well as participated in numerous closeouts and audits for applicants nationwide. Our direct experience with the grant management process means that we not only understand the requirements in theory, but in practice and application. We have proven our ability to comply with the requirements of the Stafford Act, Title 44 of the CFR, OMB Circulars and related regulations, and to anticipate the needs of the recipient, providing exceptional client service throughout the process. Our team is up-to-date on the latest FEMA guidelines and policy nuances, and we use this knowledge to help clients develop well- articulated and substantiated justifications for presentation to FEMA and the State.We are aware of variations of policy from state to state, which allows us to advocate effectively on behalf of our clients when it comes to questions of eligibility.As part of our consultancy, we will advise the County on grant management protocols, and in documenting all activities,provide and perform internal controls assessments. This process will be outlined in greater detail in our Management Plan, as part of the kick-off meeting. Public Adjusting Services Our corporation has been providing public insurance adjusting services to policyholders for more than 30 years.We have more than 45 offices throughout the nation and more senior and certified professional public adjusters on staff than any other organization of our kind.Tidal Basin's 250 staff in our public adjusting division cover every aspect of insurance claim expertise,with 74 public adjusters licensed to practice in the State of Florida. Our leadership position within the insurance adjusting arena is unrivaled, whether in the public adjusting industry or by our disaster recovery competitors. Because FEMA funding is secondary to insurance, an understanding of the complicated language and the detailed extensions, exclusions, and negotiations involved in the insurance claim settlement process is critical to expediting and accurately assessing the funding which will be provided by FEMA. Simply put, this essential and often overlooked element of delivering the Public Assistance program is a key underpinning of a vital grant management strategy and a key component of easing the closeout process. TIDAL BASIN I 31 Response to Collier County RFP 1 7-7116 for Disaster Recovery Consulting Services Our consultants put their technical expertise to work on behalf of the State and its applicants, analyzing insurance-related issues as they relate to specific projects and applicants-not just applying a one-size- fits-all approach to insurance considerations.We then break these down into understandable components and key decision points,always taking the approach of educating and mentoring our federal, state and local counterparts in the intricacies and specific applications of insurance considerations. Gap Analysis and Suggestions Tidal Basin fully understands that a primary component to improving the effectiveness of an existing disaster recovery program is to gain a better understanding of the current processes, procedures, and workflows.This can be achieved through a thorough analysis.The primary goal of the Gap Analysis will be to conduct a review of Collier County's overall administrative capabilities with regard to financial recovery from both state and federally declared disasters.Additionally,Tidal Basin will make recommendations that improve and streamline the County's use of the FEMA Public Assistance (PA) Program processes,while identifying and minimizing risks to ensure obligation and retention of the maximum allowable funding. Basically,we will conduct a comparison of your current actual performance with your potential or desired outcomes. Tidal Basin has extensive experience conducting these analyses for several government agencies and other large organizations,to include, MD Anderson Center, Houston Independent School District, City of Sanibel, FL, Village of Islamorada, FL just to name a few. Because the Gap Analysis will ultimately enhance and streamline the County's overall disaster recovery process,Tidal Basin will devote sufficient time and resources to this effort. Past experience has shown us that the amount of time needed to conduct these analyses can vary from one week to several weeks, depending on the magnitude of the analysis and the current levels of readiness that already exist. However, as a client of Tidal Basin,the analysis would be part of our initial efforts and we would conduct these analyses as a pre-disaster function,to ensure Collier County was fully prepared for any future events. Our process involves a phased approach with each phase having a clear start point,some well-defined tasks, and a defined end point.The end of a particular project phase will often be the production of a particular deliverable. The deliverable can be a document such as a progress report, or a tangible product. It has been our experience that a phased approach helps to overcome resistance to change, allows for lessons learned in early phases to be incorporated in systems installed in later phases and reduces risk by working through the project step by step.This ensures the involvement of the right people at the right time with the right tasks reducing the complexity of planning and control,fosters continuous improvement in emergency management capabilities, and provides organizations with a level of confidence that they are adequately prepared for all hazards and risks. By conducting numerous Gap Analyses over the years,Tidal Basin has seen first-hand the benefits provided to our clients. Our efforts have helped agencies foster continuous improvement in emergency management capabilities and developed a more effective and timely process to address emergency response and recovery needs.

Q: Page 35,#11 • How often would the vendor require coordination meetings? A: It is Collier County Emergency Management's desire that the vendor meet in March and July of each year jointly with all consortium members to review, evaluate and train on current and best practices as it relates to assembly and nuances of FEMA Project Worksheet data needs, current FEMA policies and concerns, and other topics of interest. A two(2) business day format is suggested at each visit in March and July whereby a joint half day session could occur for mutual concerns of all consortium members and the remaining 1.5 day would be available for each consortium member to have one on one meetings. 3. Q: Has the Consortium and/or county identified standard positions in order to compare rates with other vendors, i.e., Project Manager,Public Assistance Coordinator, Insurance Specialist,Environmental Engineer,Administrative, etc. If so, please provide.

There are no requirements to have the vendor(s)review current work at the present time without charge. It is assumed that the vendor(s) would like to meet with consortium members to discuss in general terms what recovery business processes are presently in place so a fast-start can be initiated at the next emergency event.Such assessment of the current business processes for the consortium would be at no-charge. 6. Q: Clarify what information is sought in the requirement to "describe contacts and relationships with your other clients and interaction with FEMA and state agencies".Page 6, Tab II, bullet seven. A: Collier County and its consortium members expressed concern that a large hurricane event would stretch the capabilities of most firms if they had multiple awards within the impacted region, thereby delaying services and expertise to Collier County and the consortium members. Demonstration that Collier County and the Consortium members would be a high priority client is preferred 7. Q: Please define"lead project staff". Is this the primary point of contact or any staff with supervisory responsibility or some other standard?Page 6, Tab III, bullet two? A: Collier County and the Consortium members as individual governmental units would be tasking and paying individually for services. Each governmental unit could assign a supervisory level staff liaison to address each project worksheet or related effort. 8. Has the Selection Committee been identified? Yes If so, does it include members of the"Consortium"? Yes If so, which ones? A: Currently,the members severing are from the City of Marco,Naples Airport Authority, Collier Mosquito Control District and Collier County Public Schools. 9. Q: Will a designated Selection Committee member contact proposer's references? A: Typically our Procurement Services staff will contact references. 10. Q: What is the county's definition of a"large disaster"?Page 5, Tab II, bullet four. A: It is our general experience that we sustain substantial residential and commercial structural damage and experience a storm surge greater than 7ft or winds at or near Category 3. 11. Is the"Consortium"a formal quasi-governmental entity with an independent board as defined by Florida Statues, Section 163.01 or is it an informal intralocal agreement? If it is a formal agreement could you provide a copy of the agreement filed with the County Clerk's office?
