01:00.494 --> 01:04.140
producer . With that . The

01:04.140 --> 01:06.362
US Army Corps of Engineers is currently

01:06.362 --> 01:08.473
undertaking efforts to support fema ,

01:08.473 --> 01:10.640
state and local authorities to respond

01:10.640 --> 01:13.200
to the covid 19 outbreak . Among these

01:13.200 --> 01:15.200
efforts is assisting other agencies

01:15.200 --> 01:16.867
assessing potential sites for

01:16.867 --> 01:18.533
suitability as alternate care

01:18.533 --> 01:20.500
facilities and to rapidly engage

01:20.500 --> 01:22.611
contractors to prepare selected sites

01:22.611 --> 01:25.280
for medical use this presentation will

01:25.280 --> 01:27.391
give an overview of the US Army Corps

01:27.391 --> 01:29.650
of Engineers efforts today as well as

01:29.650 --> 01:31.483
the challenges and opportunities

01:31.483 --> 01:33.261
presented and what construction

01:33.261 --> 01:35.372
contractors can do to help with these

01:35.372 --> 01:37.539
efforts as well as all of industries ,

01:37.539 --> 01:39.761
all of our industries that support with

01:39.761 --> 01:41.483
that . I'll turn it over to dr

01:41.483 --> 01:43.150
Christine , also the chief of

01:43.150 --> 01:45.372
Engineering and construction division .

01:45.540 --> 01:47.707
Good afternoon everyone . First of all

01:47.707 --> 01:49.596
I would like to thank you all for

01:49.596 --> 01:51.960
taking time today . I know everyone is

01:52.340 --> 01:56.150
busy um if not with work at home

01:56.150 --> 01:58.206
trying to figure out how we're gonna

01:58.206 --> 02:00.760
get through this really crazy crisis

02:00.770 --> 02:02.950
that we're all in . Um and and really

02:02.950 --> 02:05.061
how we're trying to figure out how to

02:05.061 --> 02:08.320
to function in a very abnormal

02:08.320 --> 02:10.400
situation . So I really do want to

02:10.400 --> 02:12.622
thank you for your time , You know what

02:12.622 --> 02:14.733
we're trying to do today is is really

02:14.733 --> 02:16.950
just share information with you ,

02:17.240 --> 02:19.600
things are moving very very rapidly .

02:19.610 --> 02:22.370
Um We are learning as we go along and

02:22.370 --> 02:24.481
we just want to have these forms with

02:24.481 --> 02:26.703
you so we can share what we're doing so

02:26.703 --> 02:28.926
that you're aware that we're not trying

02:28.926 --> 02:28.920
to do anything in a vacuum and we're

02:28.920 --> 02:31.790
trying to be very transparent so I'm

02:31.790 --> 02:34.100
going to give a brief overview um to

02:34.100 --> 02:36.211
start things off and then we're gonna

02:36.211 --> 02:38.211
move into the concept of operations

02:38.211 --> 02:40.378
with Mr Mike Schultz , who's the chief

02:40.378 --> 02:42.211
of interagency and international

02:42.211 --> 02:44.378
division here at headquarters and then

02:44.378 --> 02:46.378
we're gonna have an overview of the

02:46.378 --> 02:48.489
conversion concept so that's actually

02:48.489 --> 02:50.960
gonna be our designs um that we put out

02:50.970 --> 02:53.780
for alternative healthcare facilities .

02:53.790 --> 02:56.380
And then finally we're gonna get to I

02:56.380 --> 02:58.491
think probably one of the topics that

02:58.491 --> 03:00.658
you all are most interested in , which

03:00.658 --> 03:02.824
will be our contracting considerations

03:02.824 --> 03:04.936
and that's gonna be um led by MS Jill

03:04.936 --> 03:06.658
Stiglitz , who is our Chief of

03:06.658 --> 03:08.769
contracting here at core of Engineers

03:08.769 --> 03:10.991
headquarters um the next slide please .

03:12.340 --> 03:14.550
So as I stated briefly , we really are

03:14.550 --> 03:16.772
trying to be transparent and share what

03:16.772 --> 03:18.940
we're doing and what we know um as I

03:18.940 --> 03:20.996
stated , all of us are in a learning

03:20.996 --> 03:22.829
mode right now as we try to work

03:22.829 --> 03:26.070
through this um no , how we

03:26.080 --> 03:29.110
came to decide to do this is to power

03:29.110 --> 03:30.832
down to our regions and to our

03:30.832 --> 03:33.290
districts um and really try to

03:33.290 --> 03:36.780
decentralize the execution of this task

03:36.780 --> 03:40.040
that we've been given . Um So what we

03:40.040 --> 03:43.730
did is we came up with some

03:43.730 --> 03:46.470
concepts that we worked with um with

03:46.480 --> 03:48.591
health and human services and we came

03:48.591 --> 03:50.702
up with some concepts and we're gonna

03:50.702 --> 03:52.369
get into the details of those

03:52.369 --> 03:54.591
conceptual design shortly , but we came

03:54.591 --> 03:56.536
up with those , we got approval by

03:56.536 --> 03:58.647
health and human services and then we

03:58.647 --> 04:00.813
actually put those out to the region ,

04:00.813 --> 04:02.980
we put those out to the field and then

04:02.980 --> 04:04.924
the regions , the divisions in the

04:04.924 --> 04:06.980
field , they actually then have been

04:06.980 --> 04:06.650
working with their state and local

04:06.650 --> 04:09.200
communities because this is a fema

04:09.200 --> 04:11.450
mission and we are supporting female um

04:11.460 --> 04:13.571
for this mission . So we're not doing

04:13.571 --> 04:15.682
this out on our own any money that we

04:15.682 --> 04:18.050
have for this , this endeavor is coming

04:18.050 --> 04:21.860
through fema . So um because of

04:21.860 --> 04:24.040
that , the States are the leads and

04:24.040 --> 04:25.929
everything that's going on here ,

04:25.929 --> 04:28.151
there's going to be instances where the

04:28.151 --> 04:30.262
Corps of Engineers takes the lead and

04:30.262 --> 04:32.207
we actually then are doing the the

04:32.207 --> 04:34.151
construction or we're awarding the

04:34.151 --> 04:36.207
contracts , but in many , many cases

04:36.207 --> 04:38.429
and probably a majority of the cases as

04:38.429 --> 04:41.290
we continue down this path , the States

04:41.290 --> 04:43.346
and the local municipalities will be

04:43.346 --> 04:45.568
taking the lead um and trying to trying

04:45.568 --> 04:48.460
to figure out um you know , what's best

04:48.470 --> 04:50.320
for their area and using their

04:50.320 --> 04:52.542
contracting capabilities that they have

04:52.542 --> 04:54.800
on hand . Um So right now we're working

04:54.800 --> 04:57.570
very closely and um like I said , we're

04:57.570 --> 04:59.681
trying to provide whatever support we

04:59.681 --> 05:03.140
possibly can . Um So so the bottom line

05:03.140 --> 05:06.550
on that is that we've been tasked ,

05:07.140 --> 05:09.720
we're doing everything we can , we came

05:09.720 --> 05:12.380
up with some designs um and then we're

05:12.380 --> 05:14.602
we're working with the States and we're

05:14.602 --> 05:16.824
allowing them to use this if they don't

05:16.824 --> 05:20.030
need um as a support to

05:20.040 --> 05:22.620
fema . And then bottom line , the

05:22.630 --> 05:24.686
States and the local governments are

05:24.686 --> 05:26.908
the ones that make the decisions . So I

05:26.908 --> 05:29.130
just want to make sure that everyone is

05:29.130 --> 05:31.408
aware that that is how that is working .

05:31.408 --> 05:34.070
Um next slide please . So to give you

05:34.070 --> 05:36.181
an overview , right , we have a place

05:36.181 --> 05:38.126
madam . The placement I believe is

05:38.126 --> 05:40.237
actually um on some of our websites ,

05:40.237 --> 05:42.459
this place mat is updated every day and

05:42.459 --> 05:44.681
I will tell you even it can kind of lag

05:44.681 --> 05:46.514
a little bit . So you'll see the

05:46.514 --> 05:48.626
numbers here and there'll be a number

05:48.626 --> 05:50.792
later on that . You'll be looking at a

05:50.792 --> 05:52.681
list of , of awarded projects and

05:52.681 --> 05:54.681
you'll say , oh , this shows 20 and

05:54.681 --> 05:56.626
that says 21 because it's a moving

05:56.626 --> 05:58.403
target and , and we try to keep

05:58.403 --> 06:00.626
everything updated . Um , but sometimes

06:00.626 --> 06:00.610
you get information that comes in the

06:00.610 --> 06:02.777
morning and sometimes you get a little

06:02.777 --> 06:04.721
more information that comes in the

06:04.721 --> 06:06.721
afternoon . But bottom line , we've

06:06.721 --> 06:08.943
been asked to do two different things .

06:08.943 --> 06:11.166
The first thing we did and the district

06:11.166 --> 06:13.332
commanders along with their staff have

06:13.332 --> 06:15.388
worked brilliantly trying to get out

06:15.388 --> 06:17.332
and work with the States and local

06:17.332 --> 06:18.943
communities on doing initial

06:18.943 --> 06:21.166
assessments . So the assessments were ,

06:21.166 --> 06:23.388
what we were tasked to do is just to go

06:23.388 --> 06:25.499
and look at a variety of sites . What

06:25.499 --> 06:27.721
might be a good location , um , to have

06:27.721 --> 06:27.190
one of these alternative healthcare

06:27.190 --> 06:30.190
facilities , um , won the state and the

06:30.190 --> 06:32.301
locals have to determine , you know ,

06:32.301 --> 06:34.412
is it going to be covid , non covid ?

06:34.412 --> 06:36.579
Um , you know , is it for , you know ,

06:36.579 --> 06:38.468
which which then impacts what the

06:38.468 --> 06:40.680
design is going to be . So today we've

06:40.680 --> 06:43.850
been requested to do 1000 and 77

06:43.850 --> 06:46.380
assessments and we've completed 901

06:46.380 --> 06:49.410
assessments . Um , needless to say that

06:49.410 --> 06:51.632
they're not all going to be used . Some

06:51.632 --> 06:53.840
of them basically or our , um , no

06:53.840 --> 06:55.951
goers from the beginning , some might

06:55.951 --> 06:58.007
be put on the back shelf , but , but

06:58.007 --> 07:00.229
out there to say , hey , is this school

07:00.229 --> 07:02.650
or is this hotel or is this arena or is

07:02.660 --> 07:05.120
this , you know , baseball park or

07:05.120 --> 07:07.231
whatever the case may be ? Or is this

07:07.231 --> 07:09.960
old hospital that , that is um closed

07:09.960 --> 07:11.738
down ? Are these something that

07:11.738 --> 07:13.793
actually could be used ? So that's ,

07:13.793 --> 07:15.904
that's what those assessments are all

07:15.904 --> 07:18.127
about . Um Also if you look then at the

07:18.127 --> 07:20.238
next column on this , this placemat ,

07:20.238 --> 07:22.460
you can see what the Corps of Engineers

07:22.460 --> 07:24.516
has awarded . Now . This is not what

07:24.516 --> 07:26.516
the state has awarded , but this is

07:26.516 --> 07:28.738
what the Corps of Engineers has awarded

07:28.738 --> 07:30.627
for these alternate care facility

07:30.627 --> 07:32.738
construction . This shows 20 and I'll

07:32.738 --> 07:34.682
tell you down the road when um , I

07:34.682 --> 07:36.793
believe Mike Schultz is talking the ,

07:36.793 --> 07:38.960
the charts Gonna Show 21 , but we have

07:38.960 --> 07:42.850
actually awarded um , 2021 awards

07:42.860 --> 07:45.020
so far and a variety of states across

07:45.030 --> 07:47.880
the United States . So those are ,

07:47.880 --> 07:49.830
those are moving and these take

07:49.840 --> 07:52.062
anywhere . We're noticing anywhere from

07:52.062 --> 07:54.229
about five days to about two weeks for

07:54.229 --> 07:56.562
construction because as you can imagine ,

07:56.562 --> 07:58.784
time is of the essence . Um , we've got

07:58.784 --> 08:00.729
to have these available because it

08:00.729 --> 08:02.840
really , you know , it's about having

08:02.840 --> 08:04.729
beds for people to go to when the

08:04.729 --> 08:06.770
hospital beds run out . And so with

08:06.770 --> 08:08.890
those 20 contract awards , We're

08:08.890 --> 08:12.370
looking at about 15,706 beds .

08:12.380 --> 08:14.480
Um with the additional award that I

08:14.480 --> 08:17.110
talked about . Um that that's gonna

08:17.110 --> 08:18.999
show on another side . Word about

08:18.999 --> 08:21.230
17,000 beds available . And another

08:21.230 --> 08:23.341
thing that's a bit of a moving target

08:23.341 --> 08:25.850
too because as as we get these things

08:25.850 --> 08:28.017
going and there might be a change of a

08:28.017 --> 08:30.128
decision that hey , we want to change

08:30.128 --> 08:32.720
this from covid to non covid . You

08:32.720 --> 08:34.831
actually can have more beds when it's

08:34.831 --> 08:37.660
non covid , um , when it is covid , you ,

08:37.670 --> 08:39.781
you have to have less beds because it

08:39.781 --> 08:42.003
might require much more intense medical

08:42.003 --> 08:43.837
equipment , etcetera and medical

08:43.837 --> 08:45.726
oversight . So anyway , that is ,

08:45.726 --> 08:47.948
that's what we're doing right now . And

08:47.948 --> 08:49.837
um , the thing that makes us most

08:49.837 --> 08:51.781
challenging for us to tell you the

08:51.781 --> 08:54.003
truth . It's historically when the core

08:54.003 --> 08:55.892
is tasked by fema to respond to a

08:55.892 --> 08:58.740
disaster , it's usually regional , it's

08:58.740 --> 09:01.690
usually a hurricane or a flood or , or

09:01.700 --> 09:04.630
something of the sort and , and we're

09:04.630 --> 09:06.950
able to actually take manpower from one

09:06.950 --> 09:09.172
part of the country and push it over to

09:09.172 --> 09:11.228
another part of the country . As you

09:11.228 --> 09:13.450
can see . Um , our engagement right now

09:13.450 --> 09:15.061
is in all 50 states and five

09:15.061 --> 09:16.950
territories where our 27th day of

09:16.950 --> 09:19.006
response . And , and so things are ,

09:19.006 --> 09:21.228
are , are pretty busy here at the Corps

09:21.228 --> 09:23.650
of Engineers and not to mention , um ,

09:24.040 --> 09:27.700
we are continuing to , to actually

09:27.710 --> 09:31.310
execute our regular program . Um , yeah ,

09:31.320 --> 09:33.542
you may wonder how that's working . And

09:33.542 --> 09:35.431
a lot of you actually , maybe our

09:35.431 --> 09:37.320
contractors , um , that are doing

09:37.320 --> 09:39.042
either civil works or military

09:39.042 --> 09:41.376
construction for the Corps of Engineers .

09:41.376 --> 09:40.670
Um , as you know , from the

09:40.670 --> 09:42.670
administration , they actually have

09:42.670 --> 09:44.710
pushed that , that infrastructure

09:44.710 --> 09:47.370
construction is is mission essential .

09:47.380 --> 09:49.580
Um I know you all have challenges . I

09:49.580 --> 09:51.650
know we've had challenges uh if an

09:51.650 --> 09:55.320
installation is shut down or or um

09:55.330 --> 09:57.497
states have to stay at home rule . How

09:57.497 --> 09:59.552
is it that you execute some of these

09:59.552 --> 10:01.774
projects that aren't um Covid related .

10:01.774 --> 10:04.160
And so we're working through that too .

10:04.160 --> 10:06.382
We're making sure we get guidance out .

10:06.382 --> 10:08.870
Um But but everyone is challenged with

10:08.880 --> 10:11.110
how we're we're trying to deal with

10:11.110 --> 10:13.090
that but right now our pushes to

10:13.090 --> 10:15.150
continue if at all possible

10:15.150 --> 10:17.750
construction . And um I can tell you

10:17.750 --> 10:19.690
right now is I I do come into the

10:19.690 --> 10:21.690
office every day and I can tell you

10:21.690 --> 10:23.634
that there's a lot of construction

10:23.634 --> 10:25.690
going on in downtown D . C . Because

10:25.690 --> 10:27.634
it's a great time for that work to

10:27.634 --> 10:29.746
actually occur because there's nobody

10:29.746 --> 10:31.912
around and and I know constructions um

10:31.912 --> 10:34.134
pretty pretty full and fast going on in

10:34.134 --> 10:36.301
downtown D . C . Now granted we've got

10:36.301 --> 10:38.412
to make sure that that your staff and

10:38.412 --> 10:40.468
our staff are all safe . Um and that

10:40.468 --> 10:42.746
we're doing the right things necessary .

10:42.746 --> 10:44.690
So just to give you a quick number

10:44.690 --> 10:46.746
right now um and these these numbers

10:46.746 --> 10:48.857
were trying to get more fidelity on .

10:48.857 --> 10:51.023
They're changing too . But I just want

10:51.023 --> 10:50.640
you to have a feel of some of the

10:50.640 --> 10:54.290
impacts um right now um in our

10:54.290 --> 10:56.270
data system that we use for

10:56.270 --> 10:59.140
construction contracts , its RmS we

10:59.140 --> 11:02.460
show that we have 2798

11:02.460 --> 11:05.260
contracts and out of that 568 are

11:05.260 --> 11:07.450
delayed right now because of covid

11:07.450 --> 11:09.283
reasons and we have a variety of

11:09.283 --> 11:12.100
reasons that we we code in . Um so

11:12.100 --> 11:14.322
right now we've got about 20% that will

11:14.322 --> 11:17.020
probably go up , but I just wanted you

11:17.020 --> 11:19.350
to be aware of of of we are keeping

11:19.350 --> 11:21.990
tabs on that and and we're pushing that

11:21.990 --> 11:24.212
also down to the field and we know that

11:24.212 --> 11:25.768
the construction offices or

11:25.768 --> 11:29.370
construction officers are our area

11:29.370 --> 11:31.314
engineers . Resident engineers are

11:31.314 --> 11:33.530
working all of those on a case by case

11:33.540 --> 11:36.720
um situation above and beyond the work

11:36.720 --> 11:39.270
that we're doing for the covid . So

11:39.270 --> 11:41.103
with that , that's the kind of a

11:41.103 --> 11:43.214
lengthy overview . I hope I didn't go

11:43.214 --> 11:45.270
on too long and we'll go ahead and I

11:45.270 --> 11:47.437
will transfer over to our next speaker

11:47.437 --> 11:49.548
who is going to be mike Schultz so we

11:49.548 --> 11:51.548
can move to the next slide . Mike .

11:52.040 --> 11:54.151
Good afternoon everybody again , this

11:54.151 --> 11:56.096
is Mike Schultz , I'm the Chief of

11:56.096 --> 11:58.096
inter agency international Services

11:58.096 --> 11:59.984
here within our military programs

11:59.984 --> 11:59.940
directorate here at the headquarters

11:59.940 --> 12:03.310
uses The charge of looking at that we

12:03.310 --> 12:05.532
have displayed for you and uh currently

12:05.532 --> 12:08.650
is uh the concept of operations as we

12:08.650 --> 12:10.817
moved into this , this effort here for

12:10.817 --> 12:14.160
the responding to the COVID-19

12:14.640 --> 12:17.230
issue . That's impacting the entire US

12:17.230 --> 12:19.470
and of course around the globe . The

12:19.470 --> 12:21.692
overall concept is really a centralized

12:21.692 --> 12:23.470
concept that was developed with

12:23.470 --> 12:25.192
decentralized execution that's

12:25.192 --> 12:27.081
happening down in our regions and

12:27.081 --> 12:29.081
districts . What's display there is

12:29.081 --> 12:31.260
really A concept that involves four

12:31.260 --> 12:33.920
million phases as you move from left to

12:33.920 --> 12:36.087
right , which is the plan build supply

12:36.087 --> 12:38.630
and staff we've articulated as we've

12:38.630 --> 12:41.180
laid this out that the plan planning

12:41.190 --> 12:44.290
phase of course is is all a state and

12:44.290 --> 12:48.190
city lead with assistance from you face

12:48.190 --> 12:50.301
as they think through that process on

12:50.301 --> 12:52.412
the ground out there and the need and

12:52.412 --> 12:54.523
the requirements that they have based

12:54.523 --> 12:56.690
on on on the impact of viruses have in

12:56.690 --> 12:58.690
their particular region . The build

12:58.690 --> 13:02.020
phase is is all on you say yes or more

13:02.020 --> 13:04.242
importantly can also be executed by the

13:04.242 --> 13:06.353
state and city leads . And so there's

13:06.353 --> 13:08.242
an opportunity that that could go

13:08.242 --> 13:10.464
either direction . The supply effort of

13:10.464 --> 13:13.360
course is is once it's built is all on

13:13.360 --> 13:16.960
fema , HHS the state and cities uh and

13:16.960 --> 13:19.182
what we're seeing today is even D . O .

13:19.182 --> 13:21.293
D . Medical assets are being added to

13:21.293 --> 13:23.516
the fight as we're all dealing with the

13:23.516 --> 13:25.682
the virus across the nation . And then

13:25.682 --> 13:27.904
lastly , a staffing is all on the state

13:27.904 --> 13:30.127
and city leads . And again , we're also

13:30.127 --> 13:32.460
seeing as this is developed , the D . O .

13:32.460 --> 13:34.460
D . Medical assets are being thrown

13:34.460 --> 13:36.900
into the fight here as well . Um , but

13:36.910 --> 13:39.140
there are the overall sort of four

13:39.140 --> 13:41.140
concepts as you look at each one of

13:41.140 --> 13:43.362
those concepts . What's laid down below

13:43.362 --> 13:45.630
is is really eight critical steps that

13:45.630 --> 13:47.630
they're involved . All of those are

13:47.630 --> 13:49.852
captured there and the words below most

13:49.852 --> 13:51.963
are all accomplished by others . What

13:51.963 --> 13:54.019
we're finding is we've moved through

13:54.019 --> 13:56.186
this process from day one . There's an

13:56.186 --> 13:59.360
integration role role that has taken on

13:59.740 --> 14:03.130
uh for for a lot of our efforts out

14:03.130 --> 14:06.320
there as the concepts have been uh put

14:06.320 --> 14:08.320
into practice on the ground . We're

14:08.320 --> 14:10.098
finding ourselves more and more

14:10.098 --> 14:12.042
involved in an integration role to

14:12.042 --> 14:14.098
bring all the players together . Ask

14:14.098 --> 14:16.320
all the right questions , make sure all

14:16.320 --> 14:18.542
the right uh areas are being pursued as

14:18.542 --> 14:20.764
we try to try to implement this . There

14:20.764 --> 14:23.220
are two key roles uh that are involved

14:23.220 --> 14:25.220
in you say specifically and that of

14:25.220 --> 14:28.140
course is earlier conducting the site

14:28.140 --> 14:30.480
assessments early on to support the

14:30.480 --> 14:32.591
local site selection process that the

14:32.591 --> 14:34.702
states and cities are going through .

14:34.702 --> 14:36.536
And and I really assess that the

14:36.536 --> 14:38.880
medical requirements can be met by each

14:38.880 --> 14:40.991
of those facility assessments that we

14:40.991 --> 14:43.158
do in each of those facilities to look

14:43.158 --> 14:45.269
at . In particular . We're looking at

14:45.269 --> 14:47.047
patient load , proximity to the

14:47.047 --> 14:49.490
hospital and support elements uh there

14:49.490 --> 14:51.960
that are co located or near these

14:51.960 --> 14:54.420
particular sites , utilities , air

14:54.430 --> 14:57.100
infiltration and handling is a critical

14:57.100 --> 14:59.156
element of that assessment of course

14:59.156 --> 15:02.550
safety and code uh requirements out

15:02.550 --> 15:04.606
there . And then and then looking at

15:04.606 --> 15:06.772
transportation , staging and parks and

15:06.772 --> 15:08.828
parking as we go through the each of

15:08.828 --> 15:11.050
those assessments activities . And then

15:11.050 --> 15:13.161
once those assessments done in the in

15:13.161 --> 15:15.050
the in the local either state and

15:15.050 --> 15:17.161
cities have made their site selection

15:17.161 --> 15:19.106
and made the determination of what

15:19.106 --> 15:21.106
sites they want to use . Then we're

15:21.106 --> 15:20.840
involved heavily in to convert those

15:20.840 --> 15:22.910
sites for alternate healthcare

15:22.910 --> 15:25.840
facilities overall intent . As we went

15:25.840 --> 15:28.150
to the end of this concept with

15:28.150 --> 15:30.770
approved sites out there was was was

15:30.780 --> 15:33.670
building these adaptations in in in a

15:33.670 --> 15:36.330
window of five days to two weeks . We

15:36.330 --> 15:38.441
want to align with the state in their

15:38.441 --> 15:40.710
projected virus infection peaks . And

15:40.720 --> 15:42.664
and that's an element that changes

15:42.664 --> 15:44.720
almost daily based on the model runs

15:44.720 --> 15:46.442
that are occurring out there .

15:46.442 --> 15:48.442
Emergency contracting authorities ,

15:48.442 --> 15:50.276
both local and regional firms uh

15:50.276 --> 15:52.498
involved big time in delivery of this .

15:52.498 --> 15:55.080
Uh and and also the fact that either we

15:55.080 --> 15:57.191
can do the contracting for this or we

15:57.191 --> 15:59.910
can hand those sites off and and end

15:59.910 --> 16:01.799
this concept off to the state and

16:01.799 --> 16:03.632
locals to for them to be able to

16:03.632 --> 16:05.243
execute . And we're seeing a

16:05.243 --> 16:07.299
combination of that being applied on

16:07.299 --> 16:09.521
the ground out there . So if we look at

16:09.521 --> 16:11.632
activities today , so where are we at

16:11.632 --> 16:13.854
today with this uh with this response ,

16:13.854 --> 16:15.854
as we mentioned earlier , we've got

16:15.854 --> 16:17.910
about 52 major disaster declarations

16:17.910 --> 16:20.021
across the us and the territories out

16:20.021 --> 16:22.243
there . What we're seeing , there are a

16:22.243 --> 16:24.243
few states uh that that uh . have a

16:24.243 --> 16:26.410
little bit of activity out there , but

16:26.410 --> 16:28.466
not as significant as other parts of

16:28.466 --> 16:30.688
the region . But we're fully engaged in

16:30.688 --> 16:32.854
almost every part of the Of the US and

16:32.854 --> 16:34.854
many of our territories out there .

16:34.854 --> 16:36.910
There are 15,000 us a scheme members

16:36.910 --> 16:38.854
that are currently engaged in this

16:38.854 --> 16:40.910
fight And over 2000 of our employees

16:40.910 --> 16:42.966
are deployed in various hotspots and

16:42.966 --> 16:45.090
mission assignments so far that are

16:45.100 --> 16:47.120
pushing upwards of 40 mission

16:47.130 --> 16:49.540
assignments uh and just under $2

16:49.540 --> 16:51.540
billion dollars worth of effort out

16:51.540 --> 16:53.750
there as we're executing today . The

16:53.760 --> 16:55.920
early planning process that we jumped

16:55.920 --> 16:58.190
on immediately and implementing this

16:58.190 --> 17:00.270
concept involved a site assessment

17:00.270 --> 17:02.790
request from the states and cities out

17:02.790 --> 17:05.920
there and the governors . Uh we've done

17:05.930 --> 17:09.210
uh uh 10,077 of those

17:09.210 --> 17:12.320
assessments have been , have been asked

17:12.320 --> 17:14.850
to do right now . We've got over 900 of

17:14.850 --> 17:17.017
those completed and most of those have

17:17.017 --> 17:19.040
been in the arena to healthcare

17:19.050 --> 17:22.320
conversion or hotel to dorm conversion

17:22.320 --> 17:24.542
activities of where the principal focus

17:24.542 --> 17:26.431
of those sites have been recently

17:26.431 --> 17:29.270
employed a couple of pilot efforts to

17:29.270 --> 17:31.740
do some container concessions to

17:31.740 --> 17:33.690
healthcare . Those are going on

17:33.700 --> 17:36.050
currently in Detroit and we will

17:36.050 --> 17:38.050
shortly occur here in the Baltimore

17:38.050 --> 17:40.550
Washington D . C . Area to try to try a

17:40.560 --> 17:42.782
different version of the concept here .

17:42.782 --> 17:44.616
As we apply to look at sort of a

17:44.616 --> 17:48.100
containerized uh solution to some of

17:48.100 --> 17:50.360
these sites . And as I said before ,

17:50.370 --> 17:52.730
we're seeing an awful big role for you

17:52.730 --> 17:55.780
say , in the integration effort to try

17:55.780 --> 17:57.669
and bring all of the team members

17:57.669 --> 17:59.891
together and particularly as we look at

17:59.891 --> 18:01.724
these sites and what needs to be

18:01.724 --> 18:03.947
delivered there beyond just our efforts

18:03.947 --> 18:06.169
in trying to build the sites themselves

18:06.169 --> 18:08.780
next slide please , This is just a

18:08.780 --> 18:11.410
snapshot , it changes almost hourly ,

18:11.420 --> 18:13.520
honest . So you're seeing sort of a

18:13.530 --> 18:17.050
first uh current push uh , effort that

18:17.050 --> 18:19.440
we're looking at today , uh today we've

18:19.440 --> 18:22.110
got 21 contracts awarded today . Uh

18:22.120 --> 18:24.150
that's almost uh

18:24.160 --> 18:27.530
16,900 patients

18:27.530 --> 18:29.750
spaces and I use that term

18:29.760 --> 18:31.871
intentionally because as we , we were

18:31.871 --> 18:34.090
originally talking about beds that was

18:34.100 --> 18:36.211
beginning to confuse a lot of folks .

18:36.211 --> 18:38.322
Uh , because what we're talking about

18:38.322 --> 18:40.720
building here at the in the sights is

18:40.730 --> 18:43.130
patient spaces , the beds and all the

18:43.130 --> 18:45.241
equipment of course is part of that ,

18:45.440 --> 18:47.662
that supply and staffing component that

18:47.662 --> 18:49.829
is the responsibility of others and we

18:49.829 --> 18:52.820
don't want to confuse that . We're uh

18:52.830 --> 18:54.830
mentally involved in four different

18:54.830 --> 18:56.941
regions , multiple states and in many

18:56.941 --> 18:58.830
of the city's large cities across

18:58.830 --> 19:01.290
across the US . Currently about half to

19:01.290 --> 19:04.480
2/3 of these of these projects . The

19:04.480 --> 19:06.570
construction is currently underway .

19:06.580 --> 19:08.413
There are four of these that are

19:08.413 --> 19:10.636
quickly nearing completion . The Javits

19:10.636 --> 19:13.060
center in new york city . Uh there's a

19:13.070 --> 19:16.550
center in Detroit one in , in Chicago

19:16.550 --> 19:18.772
and and then another center in new york

19:18.772 --> 19:20.717
are quickly nearing completion and

19:20.717 --> 19:23.190
ready for patient rate . Uh We

19:23.190 --> 19:25.079
developed these contracts and are

19:25.079 --> 19:27.190
working these , they're a combination

19:27.190 --> 19:30.140
of both covid and non covid use , but

19:30.140 --> 19:32.362
what we're finding today as we begin to

19:32.362 --> 19:35.820
uh continue to execute this effort . Uh

19:35.830 --> 19:38.560
we're changing how these , they mingle

19:38.560 --> 19:41.050
in originally as covid or non covid

19:41.060 --> 19:43.640
spaces but then as soon as they take a

19:43.640 --> 19:45.473
look at the patient load and the

19:45.473 --> 19:47.584
requirements on on the ground in some

19:47.584 --> 19:49.800
circumstances , changing those in

19:49.800 --> 19:51.856
midstream and movement and more to a

19:51.856 --> 19:54.420
covid adjustment . And so it's a really

19:54.420 --> 19:56.670
fluid situation out there both for us ,

19:56.740 --> 19:58.851
our contractors that we've brought on

19:58.851 --> 20:01.630
board and for the state , we're also

20:01.630 --> 20:03.910
involving our design and construction

20:03.910 --> 20:06.300
partner in D . O . D . Nafdac is

20:06.300 --> 20:08.467
helping us immensely in our efforts in

20:08.467 --> 20:11.650
Guam to deliver a similar concept out

20:11.650 --> 20:14.770
there for their situation . There's

20:14.770 --> 20:18.500
another 16 sites that are contracts

20:18.500 --> 20:20.500
that are pending right now . Just a

20:20.500 --> 20:23.980
little over 55 uh 100

20:23.990 --> 20:27.300
patients spaces that are either in the

20:27.310 --> 20:29.900
field decision and soon to be action

20:29.910 --> 20:33.280
here within the next couple of days And

20:33.280 --> 20:35.280
and the goodness in this concept as

20:35.280 --> 20:37.336
they pointed out earlier is we could

20:37.336 --> 20:39.350
execute this or state and local

20:39.350 --> 20:41.294
partners could execute this and so

20:41.294 --> 20:43.128
we're finding the state and city

20:43.128 --> 20:45.183
execution off our concept and design

20:45.183 --> 20:47.406
concepts that we developed that there's

20:47.406 --> 20:49.960
about 20 different sites In about just

20:49.960 --> 20:52.660
under 7000 patients face is that that

20:52.660 --> 20:54.716
the states and cities are delivering

20:54.716 --> 20:57.390
under their contract capabilities as

20:57.390 --> 21:00.350
well . As I said before . The solution

21:00.360 --> 21:03.900
situation remains extremely fluid as we

21:03.900 --> 21:06.110
work through this models are updating

21:06.110 --> 21:07.943
infection spread and peak timing

21:07.943 --> 21:11.630
projections almost daily uh covid non

21:11.630 --> 21:14.080
covid decisions for space utilization

21:14.090 --> 21:17.960
are are being assessed uh even as

21:17.960 --> 21:20.250
we build some of these and supply and

21:20.250 --> 21:22.361
staffing availabilities and decisions

21:22.361 --> 21:24.472
have to go hand in hand with this and

21:24.472 --> 21:26.528
many times that that drives the site

21:26.528 --> 21:28.639
selections and also drives what we're

21:28.639 --> 21:30.806
building on the ground out there . And

21:30.806 --> 21:33.028
many times this is the resulting , what

21:33.028 --> 21:34.972
we're seeing today is resulting in

21:34.972 --> 21:37.210
contract changes in some cases were

21:37.210 --> 21:39.432
about to cancel contracts and shift and

21:39.432 --> 21:41.730
lift fires and plan adjustments on the

21:41.730 --> 21:43.841
ground and the , but the concept that

21:43.841 --> 21:45.563
we developed and the way we're

21:45.563 --> 21:47.570
executing this remains extremely

21:47.570 --> 21:49.792
flexible and adaptable on the ground as

21:49.792 --> 21:52.014
our districts and regions are executing

21:52.014 --> 21:54.181
this with our local partners out there

21:54.181 --> 21:56.348
and particularly we were able to , you

21:56.348 --> 21:58.570
know , based on how it was originally ,

21:58.570 --> 22:00.681
we're , we're adjusting almost on a ,

22:00.681 --> 22:03.080
on a , on a daily basis as well based

22:03.080 --> 22:05.302
on the lessons that we're learning as ,

22:05.302 --> 22:07.302
as each of these gets gets executed

22:07.940 --> 22:10.107
with that . I'd like to turn this over

22:10.107 --> 22:11.940
now to wade dos uh , from our

22:11.940 --> 22:13.829
Huntsville Center who will talk a

22:13.829 --> 22:15.940
little more specifics about what this

22:15.940 --> 22:19.860
concept means on the ground . Hey ,

22:19.870 --> 22:22.520
thanks Mike . I appreciate it . Um as

22:22.530 --> 22:24.641
Mike said , I'm wade dos the director

22:24.641 --> 22:26.752
of engineering at our hospital center

22:26.752 --> 22:28.919
and some of my team along with efforts

22:28.919 --> 22:31.086
all across the court came up with some

22:31.086 --> 22:33.308
of these initial concepts so we can hit

22:33.308 --> 22:35.530
that next slide please . So Mike talked

22:35.530 --> 22:37.586
about it , but the first thing is um

22:37.586 --> 22:39.697
trying to find an acceptable facility

22:39.697 --> 22:41.863
and so that is part of the plan or the

22:41.863 --> 22:44.340
site selection phase and that is a

22:44.340 --> 22:46.618
decision made by the local authorities .

22:46.618 --> 22:48.729
However , we did come up with some uh

22:48.729 --> 22:50.896
facility assessment checklist and some

22:50.896 --> 22:52.896
things to help them look at optimum

22:52.896 --> 22:55.062
sites and what you see in front of you

22:55.062 --> 22:54.430
is some of the high points of those

22:54.430 --> 22:56.820
checklists . Certainly really important

22:56.820 --> 22:58.931
is trying to be within 10 miles or 30

22:58.931 --> 23:01.070
minutes of of a established permanent

23:01.070 --> 23:03.970
medical hospital . Um A . D . A .

23:03.970 --> 23:07.790
Compliance is important as

23:07.790 --> 23:11.350
well as uh the ability to have those um

23:11.740 --> 23:14.250
supporting functions like the medical

23:14.260 --> 23:16.427
has waste disposal when in laundry and

23:16.427 --> 23:18.649
pharmacies supported at these alternate

23:18.649 --> 23:20.704
care sites . So as we look at hotels

23:20.704 --> 23:23.500
and arenas , um looking at facilities

23:23.510 --> 23:25.566
built after 19 nineties important to

23:25.566 --> 23:27.770
try to mitigate lead asbestos paint

23:27.770 --> 23:30.390
issues were also really interested in

23:30.390 --> 23:32.723
the particular configuration of their H .

23:32.723 --> 23:34.779
V . A . C . Systems . Whether we can

23:34.779 --> 23:36.834
get negative pressure in a room or a

23:36.834 --> 23:38.834
floor is important a way out of the

23:38.834 --> 23:40.668
hotel rooms and the bathrooms is

23:40.668 --> 23:42.557
important . So this is just a few

23:42.557 --> 23:44.723
excerpts of all the things we tried to

23:44.723 --> 23:46.946
look at in our assessment checklist and

23:46.946 --> 23:48.890
assist the uh states and the local

23:48.890 --> 23:51.112
authorities in identifying the absolute

23:51.112 --> 23:53.057
best sites . We'll go to that next

23:53.057 --> 23:56.410
slide please . So the very first lesson

23:56.410 --> 23:58.299
we learned about two weeks ago is

23:58.299 --> 24:00.521
terminology matters . It really matters

24:00.521 --> 24:02.299
in the engineering world and it

24:02.299 --> 24:04.577
certainly matters in the medical world .

24:04.577 --> 24:06.521
And as everybody knows , these two

24:06.521 --> 24:08.577
worlds have collided in a very rapid

24:08.577 --> 24:10.743
manner to respond to this covid public

24:10.743 --> 24:12.799
health crisis . So our team tried to

24:12.799 --> 24:14.966
come up with a matrix and kind of what

24:14.966 --> 24:14.580
we're calling it a terminology primer

24:14.580 --> 24:16.780
that you see in front of you , whether

24:16.790 --> 24:19.012
whether when we're having these initial

24:19.012 --> 24:21.012
discussions with the late state and

24:21.012 --> 24:23.234
local authorities , we really got to go

24:23.234 --> 24:25.234
through this chart and make sure we

24:25.234 --> 24:27.401
understand what the requirements are .

24:27.401 --> 24:27.220
They help us define the requirements on

24:27.220 --> 24:29.442
what kind of space we need to provide ,

24:29.442 --> 24:32.380
whether it's covid positive or covid

24:32.380 --> 24:34.436
negative , whether it's acute or non

24:34.436 --> 24:36.324
acute , the acuity of the patient

24:36.324 --> 24:38.491
matters because that drives all of the

24:38.491 --> 24:40.658
medical departments , whether you need

24:40.658 --> 24:42.730
med gas , uh where you need ICU type

24:42.740 --> 24:45.810
environment . So this is important and

24:45.810 --> 24:47.810
I'll just pause for a second to let

24:47.810 --> 24:49.310
people absorb that chart .

24:53.240 --> 24:56.480
Alright next card please . So before I

24:56.480 --> 24:58.820
get into this particular cartoon or

24:58.820 --> 25:01.390
sketch , um , what we did was really

25:01.390 --> 25:03.510
tried to identify , I don't use the

25:03.510 --> 25:05.510
term design , a whole lot of really

25:05.510 --> 25:07.621
standard concepts , probably probably

25:07.621 --> 25:09.732
better . We tried to look at standard

25:09.732 --> 25:11.954
concepts for hotels and arenas and what

25:11.954 --> 25:11.920
we did is draw these things out . I'll

25:11.920 --> 25:13.976
go through a few of them here in the

25:13.976 --> 25:16.087
next next couple of charts , but more

25:16.087 --> 25:18.198
importantly along with these concepts

25:18.198 --> 25:20.420
and cartoons , we developed performance

25:20.420 --> 25:22.531
work statements and those performance

25:22.531 --> 25:22.530
work statements are driven around covid

25:22.530 --> 25:24.308
or non covid acute or non acute

25:24.308 --> 25:26.474
depending on the scenario , there is a

25:26.474 --> 25:28.641
different performance work statement .

25:28.641 --> 25:30.697
We also came up with draft equipment

25:30.697 --> 25:32.919
equipment list . Uh just reiterate what

25:32.919 --> 25:35.380
Mr Schulz said the the the ability of

25:35.380 --> 25:37.830
the task is to provide the equipment in

25:37.830 --> 25:39.997
these areas . The medical equipment is

25:39.997 --> 25:42.108
not use cases , but we certainly have

25:42.108 --> 25:44.108
to know about what's going to go in

25:44.108 --> 25:46.274
there to modify the facility . But HHS

25:46.274 --> 25:48.552
and fema leads the effort on equipment .

25:48.552 --> 25:50.886
So we came up with draft equipment list ,

25:50.886 --> 25:50.350
notional schedules and other

25:50.350 --> 25:52.517
engineering and construction artifacts

25:52.517 --> 25:54.739
that we intended to be used as starting

25:54.739 --> 25:56.794
points for our local usage divisions

25:56.794 --> 25:59.017
and districts and our local contractors

25:59.017 --> 26:01.183
like yourself use those to develop the

26:01.183 --> 26:03.128
contract documents into further uh

26:03.128 --> 26:05.800
definite ties , designs and and tasks

26:05.810 --> 26:07.977
for converting these arenas and hotels

26:07.977 --> 26:10.150
into ultimate care facilities . And so

26:10.150 --> 26:12.317
I want to make a point here that , you

26:12.317 --> 26:14.372
know , there's not enough time to do

26:14.372 --> 26:16.428
traditional designs but we certainly

26:16.428 --> 26:18.650
are gonna have designer of records , uh

26:18.650 --> 26:20.817
designer of record folks involved with

26:20.817 --> 26:22.928
our constructors and our A . Es . And

26:22.928 --> 26:25.150
they're gonna be working real close and

26:25.150 --> 26:25.150
have been with the local authorities

26:25.160 --> 26:27.271
having jurisdiction . So there's sort

26:27.271 --> 26:29.660
of a joint risk management there where

26:29.670 --> 26:31.670
when we're looking at N . F . P . A

26:31.670 --> 26:33.820
life safety uh into a fire protection

26:33.820 --> 26:35.764
issues that H . J . Is going to be

26:35.764 --> 26:37.987
critical . Uh And they're going to step

26:37.987 --> 26:40.042
up and make some decisions on coding

26:40.042 --> 26:42.376
criteria for these temporary facilities .

26:42.376 --> 26:44.487
So what you're looking at in front of

26:44.487 --> 26:46.431
you is a notional uh sketch of the

26:46.431 --> 26:48.653
hotel room and green or the things that

26:48.653 --> 26:50.709
should be there in any typical hotel

26:50.709 --> 26:52.764
room in purple or the things that we

26:52.764 --> 26:54.840
tried to identify at a high level of

26:54.840 --> 26:56.784
engineering changes , construction

26:56.784 --> 26:58.618
changes you have to make to that

26:58.618 --> 27:00.840
facility and then in red is the medical

27:00.840 --> 27:02.784
equipment . These are built around

27:02.784 --> 27:04.951
worst case covid patients . That's why

27:04.951 --> 27:04.930
you see things like a spot for a

27:04.930 --> 27:07.970
ventilator and telemetry pump . I've et

27:07.980 --> 27:10.250
cetera on the engineering changes . It

27:10.250 --> 27:12.417
says remove carpet and install vinyl .

27:12.417 --> 27:15.000
That is really going to depend on uh

27:15.010 --> 27:17.480
the scenario you're designing for if

27:17.480 --> 27:20.100
it's non covid non acute , we're

27:20.100 --> 27:22.450
finding that spokes will leave the

27:22.460 --> 27:24.682
carpet in the hotel but you may you may

27:24.682 --> 27:26.904
have a situation where you want to take

27:26.904 --> 27:28.960
it out . The most important thing is

27:28.960 --> 27:28.750
gonna be the H . V . A . C . We're

27:28.750 --> 27:31.110
trying to achieve negative pressure

27:31.110 --> 27:34.440
either by room or by floor and that is

27:34.450 --> 27:37.450
to control the infection . The other

27:37.450 --> 27:39.228
thing is important any of these

27:39.228 --> 27:41.394
facilities is emergency power . Uh And

27:41.394 --> 27:43.560
so that's noted on there . Next shot

27:43.560 --> 27:47.220
please . What you're looking at

27:47.220 --> 27:50.340
here is uh typical ground floor plan

27:50.340 --> 27:54.330
view um of of a hotel . And so what

27:54.330 --> 27:56.330
we try to do here is articulate the

27:56.330 --> 27:58.330
functions . There's nothing special

27:58.330 --> 28:00.274
about necessarily the wear on this

28:00.274 --> 28:02.219
chart except that that these these

28:02.219 --> 28:05.250
first two charts Are laid out in the

28:05.250 --> 28:07.780
concept of one clean side and one side .

28:07.780 --> 28:09.891
When you're talking about taking care

28:09.891 --> 28:11.947
of infection control and donning and

28:11.947 --> 28:14.570
doffing PPE . But certainly starting in

28:14.570 --> 28:16.403
the top left there , you need to

28:16.403 --> 28:18.800
allocate for areas for red bag disposal ,

28:18.810 --> 28:21.550
medical waste disposal , the generator

28:21.940 --> 28:25.050
moving on a counter or clockwise their

28:25.060 --> 28:27.520
PP dolphin and dawning area patient

28:27.520 --> 28:29.853
drop off , med gas storage and pharmacy .

28:29.853 --> 28:31.798
Those were kind of the things that

28:31.798 --> 28:34.020
you've got to consider how to lay those

28:34.020 --> 28:36.298
out and comply with local requirements .

28:36.298 --> 28:38.242
That the main thing is when you're

28:38.242 --> 28:40.298
looking at these , it's just getting

28:40.298 --> 28:42.631
the function laid out correctly . Again ,

28:42.631 --> 28:42.520
the things in green or what we think

28:42.520 --> 28:44.940
are there already in the hotel ? Uh the

28:44.950 --> 28:46.900
things in purple or some of the

28:46.900 --> 28:49.011
engineering changes . And then red is

28:49.011 --> 28:52.210
the equipment Next chart please . This

28:52.210 --> 28:54.410
will be a typical second floor plan

28:54.410 --> 28:56.970
view for plan . The same same concept

28:56.970 --> 28:59.400
of trying to keep one side , uh clean

28:59.400 --> 29:01.511
the other side in terms of infectious

29:01.511 --> 29:03.622
control . So you can see on the right

29:03.622 --> 29:05.860
side , a clean stare and clean rooms ,

29:05.860 --> 29:08.670
clean linen and on the left side . The

29:08.950 --> 29:11.570
stare , linen . Uh His folks can don

29:11.570 --> 29:13.650
off as they go out into the decon

29:13.650 --> 29:15.706
shower and go out . So it really all

29:15.706 --> 29:17.983
this is gonna be have to be worked out .

29:17.983 --> 29:19.983
The specifics have to be worked out

29:19.983 --> 29:19.900
with the local health officials on how

29:19.900 --> 29:21.956
they want to do infectious control ,

29:21.956 --> 29:23.956
whether they're doing a whole floor

29:23.956 --> 29:25.789
negative pressure or just a room

29:25.789 --> 29:27.844
negative pressure , how they want to

29:27.844 --> 29:30.011
take care of donning and doffing PPE .

29:30.011 --> 29:32.122
We just tried to notionally show here

29:32.122 --> 29:31.820
the functions that the team's got to

29:31.820 --> 29:34.042
take a quick look at and in conjunction

29:34.042 --> 29:35.931
with the engineers and the health

29:35.931 --> 29:38.042
officials determine how to best setup

29:38.042 --> 29:41.960
the facility based on what next job

29:41.960 --> 29:45.950
please . So this is just

29:45.950 --> 29:49.070
another option for a typical ground

29:49.070 --> 29:50.959
floor of the hotel . And this one

29:50.959 --> 29:53.770
instead of kind of the free flowing uh

29:54.940 --> 29:57.162
deal , there's an airlock you can see .

29:57.162 --> 29:59.329
So this one is kind of designed around

29:59.329 --> 30:01.551
having a negative pressure on the whole

30:01.551 --> 30:03.773
floor potentially and having an airlock

30:03.773 --> 30:05.662
in and out . But the same general

30:05.662 --> 30:07.829
concepts apply with the pharmacy , red

30:07.829 --> 30:09.920
bag disposal , uh , megastores ,

30:09.920 --> 30:13.630
etcetera . Next chart

30:13.630 --> 30:16.250
please . Same thing . Just a second

30:16.250 --> 30:19.270
option on a typical hotel floor plan ,

30:19.940 --> 30:22.240
you can see the red lines in the middle

30:22.250 --> 30:24.590
toward the page from lander gates or

30:24.590 --> 30:26.812
you're just areas that would be located

30:26.812 --> 30:28.646
depending on where you want your

30:28.646 --> 30:30.646
defining line to be for a clean and

30:30.646 --> 30:34.430
area . One other point I'll

30:34.430 --> 30:36.597
make here is uh , because it's come up

30:36.597 --> 30:38.541
in a couple of sites in arenas and

30:38.541 --> 30:40.763
hotels is were made the assumption that

30:40.763 --> 30:42.874
we're going to ride the existing Wifi

30:42.874 --> 30:45.100
network and local area network . And so

30:45.110 --> 30:47.166
uh , that right now that seems to be

30:47.166 --> 30:49.388
working out okay . But most of all that

30:49.388 --> 30:51.554
falls into the equipment lane that you

30:51.554 --> 30:53.777
say she's not um not taking the lead on

30:53.777 --> 30:55.499
will certainly work with local

30:55.499 --> 30:57.554
officials but not the lead on that .

30:59.040 --> 31:02.940
It's okay . Next chart . So this

31:02.940 --> 31:05.440
is a civil site plan view . Uh , and

31:05.440 --> 31:07.384
the real takeaway here is in these

31:07.384 --> 31:09.496
hotels . Uh , they're not going to be

31:09.496 --> 31:11.718
just walk up facilities , there's gotta

31:11.718 --> 31:13.940
be a little security added . So you can

31:13.940 --> 31:16.162
see some uh notional connotations there

31:16.162 --> 31:18.218
on perimeter fencing and a kind of a

31:18.218 --> 31:20.260
makeshift access control point . Uh

31:20.270 --> 31:22.103
reemphasizing that you've got to

31:22.103 --> 31:23.992
control access in and out . Local

31:23.992 --> 31:25.992
officials will got exactly how they

31:25.992 --> 31:28.103
want that done , but it'll definitely

31:28.103 --> 31:30.159
be part of the scope , the generator

31:30.159 --> 31:32.381
there , read back disposal again , some

31:32.381 --> 31:34.548
of the major gas storage pharmacy same

31:34.548 --> 31:34.280
concepts but the takeaway on that one

31:34.280 --> 31:37.430
is is access control . He's got to be a

31:37.430 --> 31:39.960
conversation over next door please .

31:42.040 --> 31:44.096
So we're gonna transition from hotel

31:44.096 --> 31:46.620
into arena the H eight to H . D . And

31:46.620 --> 31:48.842
before I get into this particular chart

31:48.842 --> 31:50.787
really , when we came up with that

31:50.787 --> 31:52.898
concept , it's built around a variety

31:52.898 --> 31:56.070
of , of patient areas . Could be . And

31:56.070 --> 31:58.070
this is again , speaking on a covid

31:58.070 --> 32:00.181
positive , worst case type scenario .

32:00.440 --> 32:02.607
So there are several options and we'll

32:02.607 --> 32:04.829
talk about a few of them in more detail

32:04.829 --> 32:06.884
later . But there was a drop shift ,

32:06.884 --> 32:08.996
commercial off the shelf , soft shell

32:08.996 --> 32:11.107
tents you can buy . There's drop ship

32:11.107 --> 32:13.218
commercial off the shelf , hard shell

32:13.218 --> 32:15.440
models you can buy . And then we looked

32:15.440 --> 32:17.662
at a couple others retrofitting packing

32:17.662 --> 32:19.607
containers . We'll talk about in a

32:19.607 --> 32:21.607
minute of odds . Contact shells and

32:21.607 --> 32:23.718
then built in place options . The one

32:23.718 --> 32:25.829
on slide 15 that you're looking at is

32:25.829 --> 32:27.884
built around the 10 options . Pop up

32:27.884 --> 32:29.996
care space . And so this is for covid

32:29.996 --> 32:32.162
patients . Uh big big thing here is is

32:32.162 --> 32:34.329
making sure it's large enough to house

32:34.329 --> 32:36.496
all the equipment you might need . The

32:36.496 --> 32:38.607
ventilators , telemetry pumps , other

32:38.607 --> 32:40.440
items you see there and read the

32:40.440 --> 32:42.607
bedside toilet , assuming a particular

32:42.607 --> 32:44.829
acuity for patients . You're gonna have

32:44.829 --> 32:47.590
to accommodate that . Um H . V A C

32:47.590 --> 32:49.812
ducting and HEPA filtering . You've got

32:49.812 --> 32:51.701
to get a supplier in and help the

32:51.701 --> 32:54.100
exhaust out an emergency backup power

32:54.100 --> 32:56.350
data wifi . All that's there as well .

32:57.340 --> 33:01.340
Next chart please . So this

33:01.350 --> 33:04.550
is just one of several uh example

33:04.550 --> 33:06.383
layouts depending on the kind of

33:06.383 --> 33:09.150
patient pods you employ . We did a

33:09.160 --> 33:11.500
horseshoe concept here overlaid over a

33:11.510 --> 33:13.890
football field . So you can see sort of

33:13.890 --> 33:16.001
the scale and dimension . There are a

33:16.001 --> 33:18.168
variety of ways we're seeing this play

33:18.168 --> 33:20.168
out . Uh and so this is just one of

33:20.168 --> 33:22.930
many uh nurse to nurse to patient ratio

33:22.930 --> 33:25.152
of 1-15 on this one . There's a variety

33:25.152 --> 33:27.263
of ratio , depending on the acuity of

33:27.263 --> 33:29.430
the patient and all those details will

33:29.430 --> 33:31.597
be worked out . The takeaway here is a

33:31.597 --> 33:33.652
lot of support facilities have to be

33:33.652 --> 33:35.708
put in place that aren't necessarily

33:35.708 --> 33:37.819
denoted on some of these same kind of

33:37.819 --> 33:39.986
support facilities , a pharmacy , pp .

33:39.986 --> 33:41.986
Donning and doffing med gas storage

33:41.986 --> 33:43.819
etcetera . Lot of a lot of other

33:44.140 --> 33:46.251
functions you got to account for when

33:46.251 --> 33:50.210
you're doing these concepts . Uh Next

33:50.210 --> 33:54.050
start please . So this is one I

33:54.050 --> 33:56.217
talked about out of the four . This is

33:56.217 --> 33:59.530
a pod concept , taking retro or taking

33:59.530 --> 34:01.780
existing container or context shells

34:01.780 --> 34:04.140
and retrofitting them into patient

34:04.140 --> 34:06.330
isolation pods gear for koda covid

34:06.330 --> 34:08.760
positive patients . And so we partnered

34:08.760 --> 34:11.390
with our uh folks down in the

34:11.390 --> 34:13.723
Engineering Research development Center ,

34:13.723 --> 34:15.834
another center in in the core partner

34:15.834 --> 34:18.112
with them , the pictures you see there ,

34:18.112 --> 34:20.334
an actual pilot they did last week . It

34:20.334 --> 34:22.557
took about eight hours and a small crew

34:22.557 --> 34:24.723
to put those things together once they

34:24.723 --> 34:26.920
got the materials . Uh and so it's uh

34:26.930 --> 34:28.930
small H . D . A . C . Unit , like a

34:28.930 --> 34:31.390
tech unit on one end HEPA filter or

34:31.390 --> 34:33.668
more filtered exhaust on the other end .

34:33.740 --> 34:35.580
Nice air drawn through these

34:35.590 --> 34:37.940
containerized pO'd concept here is

34:37.940 --> 34:40.240
meant to be for covid positive patients

34:40.250 --> 34:43.410
in an arena or a covered area where

34:43.410 --> 34:46.000
we're drawing in conditioned air from

34:46.010 --> 34:49.660
um from uh an existing arena .

34:50.040 --> 34:52.207
So this is a neat concept that's being

34:52.207 --> 34:54.429
deployed in several places now and it's

34:54.429 --> 34:56.484
just one of several options that you

34:56.484 --> 34:59.550
can utilize in in this scenario .

35:02.740 --> 35:06.390
Alright , next card please . Okay , I

35:06.390 --> 35:08.501
think that concludes my portion . I'm

35:08.501 --> 35:10.279
gonna turn it over to Miss Jill

35:10.279 --> 35:12.446
Stiglitz , Director of our contracting

35:12.446 --> 35:16.160
group . Good afternoon . Another one .

35:16.740 --> 35:18.851
I'm joe Stiglitz and I'm the director

35:18.851 --> 35:21.018
of contracting for you say I also have

35:21.018 --> 35:23.129
a contact an official from the line .

35:23.129 --> 35:24.796
Jackie Woodson is our skill ,

35:24.796 --> 35:27.520
alexandria laura , I corn still Atlanta

35:27.740 --> 35:30.080
and Denver keith is Dallas . I also

35:30.080 --> 35:32.191
have my key members of staff online .

35:32.330 --> 35:34.219
Colonel robert McSally who is our

35:34.219 --> 35:36.570
deputy director Jake Jacobsen is our

35:36.570 --> 35:38.737
executive director as well as Robert ,

35:38.737 --> 35:41.080
Baldwin Wanda Costs and Rick Jenkins

35:41.080 --> 35:44.350
who are three division chief . I think

35:44.430 --> 35:46.652
one of the top questions were receiving

35:46.652 --> 35:48.800
from industry right now is how can I

35:48.800 --> 35:51.670
help the core Rescue Commission . The

35:51.680 --> 35:53.680
first thing is that we need to know

35:53.680 --> 35:55.700
what your capabilities are on the

35:55.700 --> 35:57.922
screen right now with the US Army Corps

35:57.922 --> 36:00.089
of Engineers website . I'm asking that

36:00.089 --> 36:02.200
each of you go to this website if you

36:02.200 --> 36:04.367
haven't already done . So click on the

36:04.367 --> 36:06.422
link at the top of the page entitled

36:06.422 --> 36:08.422
contract of responses to COVID-19 .

36:08.422 --> 36:10.589
It's going to take you to the COVID-19

36:10.589 --> 36:12.589
market research request page link .

36:12.589 --> 36:15.620
Next slide please just click on this

36:15.620 --> 36:17.453
link and provide your capability

36:17.453 --> 36:19.860
statements to us right now Across you

36:19.860 --> 36:21.940
face the districts and centers are

36:21.940 --> 36:24.050
executing a lot of market research .

36:24.720 --> 36:26.831
The reviewing this side , that's part

36:26.831 --> 36:28.887
of their analysis as well . The next

36:28.887 --> 36:31.109
slide is basically a process to let you

36:31.109 --> 36:33.109
know what happens to your email and

36:33.109 --> 36:35.331
receive it and this process is changing

36:35.331 --> 36:37.664
now and is now automated . So Hey Robin ,

36:37.664 --> 36:39.720
um do you want to add anything about

36:39.720 --> 36:41.776
the new process or that slide over ?

36:42.730 --> 36:46.360
Yes ma'am . Um we we were very thrilled

36:46.360 --> 36:48.490
by the response that we received our

36:48.490 --> 36:51.490
market research request and we're kind

36:51.490 --> 36:53.940
of building the plane like we were when

36:53.940 --> 36:56.680
we were flying it . Um so we started

36:56.680 --> 36:59.850
out uh kind of uh

37:01.070 --> 37:04.580
and Jane really easy and uh now we've

37:04.590 --> 37:07.740
really gotten high tech . So the 1st

37:07.750 --> 37:10.330
4000 or so emails that came in an email

37:10.330 --> 37:13.280
will come into an inbox . Um you'll see

37:13.280 --> 37:16.420
then it's uh we are working , we were

37:16.420 --> 37:18.642
working on automated response . I think

37:18.642 --> 37:20.642
we have that up and running Then we

37:20.642 --> 37:22.864
actually have human interaction . So we

37:22.864 --> 37:26.040
have about 40 people right now or more

37:26.050 --> 37:29.670
reviewing all of the information um

37:29.680 --> 37:31.736
that you have submitted . So what we

37:31.736 --> 37:34.013
have to do and we get that information ,

37:34.013 --> 37:36.069
we have to see if there's everything

37:36.069 --> 37:38.069
that we need and um if everything's

37:38.069 --> 37:40.180
there , well thank you for your email

37:40.180 --> 37:42.720
and your information automatically goes

37:42.720 --> 37:46.460
into our market research repository .

37:46.830 --> 37:49.720
If not we have to send you back an

37:49.720 --> 37:51.500
email and ask for additional

37:51.500 --> 37:53.722
information . Like we need to have done

37:53.722 --> 37:55.722
this number . We need to state your

37:55.722 --> 37:57.611
willing to perform in if you have

37:57.611 --> 38:00.680
information immediately available . And

38:00.690 --> 38:03.830
um if not if we're going to respond to

38:03.830 --> 38:06.052
you and then we'll get that information

38:06.052 --> 38:08.274
back . Then we can put your information

38:08.274 --> 38:10.386
into our market research repository .

38:10.386 --> 38:12.370
But as soon as we have that the

38:12.370 --> 38:14.970
information is available to every

38:14.970 --> 38:18.480
contracting and technical professional

38:18.490 --> 38:21.820
in the Corps of Engineers . Uh so what

38:21.820 --> 38:24.440
else are we doing on the website that

38:24.450 --> 38:26.990
distinguish showed you on the previous

38:26.990 --> 38:29.830
slide ? It now changed it to a web link

38:30.320 --> 38:32.700
and that will allow anyone new coming

38:32.700 --> 38:35.880
in to enter their information in a form

38:35.890 --> 38:38.170
and the form automatically goes into

38:38.170 --> 38:41.950
our repository . And we are right now

38:41.950 --> 38:43.940
we're working with the Defense uh

38:44.620 --> 38:47.760
Digital Defense Service as well as Army

38:47.760 --> 38:50.160
Futures Command , um making our market

38:50.160 --> 38:52.770
research tools even better . So it's

38:52.770 --> 38:54.881
amazing when you ask folks for help ,

38:54.881 --> 38:57.570
they'll come and help you . So uh and

38:57.570 --> 38:59.459
we're doing this with procurement

38:59.459 --> 39:01.737
analyst . So I want you don't you know ,

39:01.737 --> 39:03.626
it's not anyone , they're trained

39:03.626 --> 39:06.970
professionals , GS 13 or 14 procurement

39:06.970 --> 39:09.081
analysts doing this work of reviewing

39:09.081 --> 39:11.248
what you submitted . So we , thank you

39:11.248 --> 39:13.359
very much . Thank you . Mr . Glitch .

39:13.720 --> 39:16.050
Right . Great . Thanks Robin , can we

39:16.050 --> 39:19.970
go to the next slide please ? Okay .

39:19.970 --> 39:22.290
We had a couple of questions um that

39:22.290 --> 39:24.346
I'm going to go through . Um We keep

39:24.346 --> 39:26.512
getting a lot of questions obviously ,

39:26.512 --> 39:28.623
but these are the ones that stand out

39:28.623 --> 39:30.401
and the first one refers to the

39:30.401 --> 39:32.250
Stafford Act um are contracting

39:32.250 --> 39:34.361
officers with the Boots on the ground

39:34.361 --> 39:36.583
review review . Each mission assignment

39:36.583 --> 39:39.090
very carefully and then preference

39:39.100 --> 39:41.267
under the Stafford Act is given to the

39:41.267 --> 39:43.378
extent feasible and practical hold to

39:43.378 --> 39:45.170
those organizations , firms and

39:45.170 --> 39:47.392
individuals residing and doing business

39:47.392 --> 39:49.503
primarily in the area affected by the

39:49.503 --> 39:51.670
major disaster emergency . In the case

39:51.670 --> 39:53.850
of COVID-19 , the area affected by the

39:53.850 --> 39:57.360
emergency is nationwide . So one other

39:57.360 --> 39:59.582
item that is really being considerate ,

39:59.582 --> 40:01.749
I think it's there , you know , one of

40:01.749 --> 40:03.693
the top considerations besides the

40:03.693 --> 40:05.638
contractors capability is that the

40:05.638 --> 40:07.749
ability of that contractor to respond

40:07.749 --> 40:09.916
immediately to the situation . In most

40:09.916 --> 40:11.971
cases we cannot wait for weeks until

40:11.971 --> 40:14.193
contractors to mobilize . So capability

40:14.193 --> 40:16.290
and responsiveness are definitely at

40:16.290 --> 40:20.030
the top of our list . The next question ,

40:27.710 --> 40:29.710
I think that each state is going to

40:29.710 --> 40:32.270
vary on its own unique COVID-19

40:32.270 --> 40:35.400
missions . We received a mission

40:35.400 --> 40:38.130
assignment from fema . Generally the

40:38.140 --> 40:40.251
state is going to describe along with

40:40.251 --> 40:42.418
fema which actions is going to execute

40:42.418 --> 40:44.584
prior to requesting support from you .

40:44.584 --> 40:46.362
In many of these cases he faces

40:46.362 --> 40:48.196
actively engaged in all of these

40:48.196 --> 40:50.470
discussions and some of them were not

40:50.470 --> 40:52.526
involved . In the end . We recommend

40:52.526 --> 40:54.414
that each of you reach out to the

40:54.414 --> 40:56.526
States as well as their . Excuse me ,

40:56.526 --> 40:59.070
many of these actions on their own . So

40:59.070 --> 41:00.181
the next question ,

41:06.410 --> 41:09.050
okay , we really really appreciate the

41:09.050 --> 41:11.272
willingness of our industry partners to

41:11.272 --> 41:13.328
contact us providing information and

41:13.328 --> 41:15.383
the capability statements related to

41:15.383 --> 41:17.494
our mission . As I said yesterday , I

41:17.494 --> 41:19.328
think Robin alluded to this . We

41:19.328 --> 41:21.720
received 4200 messages from industry

41:21.720 --> 41:24.040
and that is as of yesterday We're going

41:24.040 --> 41:26.290
through each message with a team of 46

41:26.290 --> 41:28.401
contracting professionals . We had to

41:28.401 --> 41:31.310
bump that number up from 15 to 46 to be

41:31.310 --> 41:33.480
able to respond to everybody . We're

41:33.490 --> 41:35.350
still contact contacting those

41:35.360 --> 41:37.750
individuals and firms responding where

41:37.750 --> 41:40.028
we need initial additional information .

41:40.028 --> 41:42.030
And like Robin said , such as phone

41:42.030 --> 41:44.252
number , Cage code company made them in

41:44.252 --> 41:47.190
that kind of thing . Um , finding that

41:47.200 --> 41:51.110
each day were finding better ways to

41:51.110 --> 41:53.221
receive and assimilate the industry ,

41:53.221 --> 41:55.054
market research and its previous

41:55.054 --> 41:57.166
discussed last evening we operated on

41:57.166 --> 41:59.330
site to a form rather than just an

41:59.330 --> 42:01.441
email and I'll read this kind of slow

42:02.100 --> 42:05.670
https www

42:05.850 --> 42:09.460
dot you say that army dot mil

42:09.680 --> 42:13.100

42:15.000 --> 42:18.660

42:18.670 --> 42:20.730
form Boy . That was a tough one .

42:22.900 --> 42:26.850
Let's see . Uh yeah , Robin alluded to

42:26.850 --> 42:28.683
the fact that we're working with

42:28.683 --> 42:30.850
futures commands and compiling all our

42:30.850 --> 42:32.739
data . So uh , we've got a bigger

42:32.739 --> 42:34.906
audience that this information can get

42:34.906 --> 42:37.730
out to next question .

42:41.100 --> 42:45.020
Okay . Each day , our

42:45.400 --> 42:47.450
awards for the ultimate daycare

42:47.450 --> 42:49.890
facilities . It's all that information

42:49.890 --> 42:52.168
is posted on the use of public website .

42:52.168 --> 42:54.279
If you click on the covid contracting

42:54.279 --> 42:56.390
and information is on the main page .

42:56.390 --> 43:00.080
Um , I've got a direct link , the same

43:00.080 --> 43:04.050

43:04.050 --> 43:07.320

43:08.500 --> 43:11.820
Okay . And I think that's it

43:13.200 --> 43:13.730
over .

43:22.300 --> 43:24.850
We thank you guys all for your time so

43:24.850 --> 43:27.670
far and all the presentations currently .

43:27.680 --> 43:30.150
Um we have received questions and we're

43:30.150 --> 43:32.330
gonna start taking them posting or

43:32.330 --> 43:34.441
we'll start with the first one that I

43:34.441 --> 43:37.560
have for the group here . Industry is

43:37.570 --> 43:39.403
planning teaming arrangements to

43:39.403 --> 43:41.403
execute recently prepared alternate

43:41.403 --> 43:43.730
care site standards . We are curious

43:43.740 --> 43:45.962
what contracts types are anticipated in

43:45.962 --> 43:49.890
being used currently . Okay , this is

43:49.900 --> 43:52.930
Jill from contracting . Um , I would

43:52.940 --> 43:54.884
say that the specific facts of the

43:54.884 --> 43:56.940
mission of climate is going to drive

43:56.940 --> 43:59.051
the acquisition approach the district

43:59.051 --> 44:00.884
or senators will determine which

44:00.884 --> 44:02.718
approaches , but there will be a

44:02.718 --> 44:04.773
combination of the execution against

44:04.773 --> 44:06.884
existing tools as well as issuance of

44:06.884 --> 44:09.051
water , con traffic , better contracts

44:09.051 --> 44:11.273
as appropriate for the circumstances on

44:11.273 --> 44:13.384
the ground . Again , it's going to be

44:13.384 --> 44:15.718
determined upon what the requirement is .

44:15.718 --> 44:14.920
However

44:19.690 --> 44:21.310
Great thank you very much .

44:23.990 --> 44:26.046
The next question . Who is doing the

44:26.046 --> 44:28.212
design work and who is the designer of

44:28.212 --> 44:31.530
record the use phase website indicates

44:31.530 --> 44:33.808
that the general scope of work concept .

44:33.808 --> 44:35.974
Layoffs and performance specifications

44:35.974 --> 44:37.808
are to be used by the states and

44:37.808 --> 44:39.974
municipalities to prepare a list , the

44:39.974 --> 44:41.974
design deliverables now that you've

44:41.974 --> 44:43.974
faces directly contracting for this

44:43.974 --> 44:46.086
work . How our design decisions being

44:46.086 --> 44:49.800
addressed . Um , This is chris

44:49.800 --> 44:51.411
Santora chief of engineering

44:51.411 --> 44:53.467
construction and um , I'll take that

44:53.467 --> 44:56.720
question on and and if um wade wants to

44:56.720 --> 44:58.831
pipe in when I'm finished , he's more

44:58.831 --> 45:01.109
than welcome to . Um , but as I stated ,

45:01.109 --> 45:03.820
um , originally the designs that were

45:03.820 --> 45:06.310
discussed in this briefing , um ,

45:06.690 --> 45:08.690
they're conceptual designs . It's ,

45:08.690 --> 45:10.857
it's when we were trying to really get

45:10.857 --> 45:14.200
out ahead of things um before uh

45:14.210 --> 45:16.432
everything went totally crazy . We were

45:16.432 --> 45:18.321
thought , hey how can we actually

45:18.321 --> 45:20.488
provide help ? Even even before we got

45:20.488 --> 45:22.599
some assignments , we were like , hey

45:22.599 --> 45:24.654
what can we do ? Um you know , we do

45:24.654 --> 45:26.821
have um um Medical center of expertise

45:26.821 --> 45:29.043
that down in hospital , he did a lot of

45:29.043 --> 45:31.170
these designs and so so but their

45:31.170 --> 45:33.880
conceptual in nature and the States and

45:33.880 --> 45:35.824
the municipalities are by no means

45:35.824 --> 45:38.047
forced to use these at all . These were

45:38.047 --> 45:40.102
were what we thought would be a good

45:40.102 --> 45:42.213
idea and a lot of people have latched

45:42.213 --> 45:44.436
onto him . So that being said even with

45:44.436 --> 45:47.170
our districts , um they take these

45:47.180 --> 45:49.640
designs of these conceptual designs and

45:49.640 --> 45:53.520
plans inspector and they they then mold

45:53.520 --> 45:55.570
them to what is needed for their

45:55.570 --> 45:57.640
particular site for their particular

45:57.640 --> 46:01.130
location , to their particular um kind

46:01.130 --> 46:03.074
of medical experience that they're

46:03.074 --> 46:05.980
trying to fulfill . And so every single

46:05.990 --> 46:07.960
contract that's awarded that we're

46:07.960 --> 46:09.820
doing is probably a little bit

46:09.820 --> 46:12.030
different um from what the concept

46:12.030 --> 46:14.510
design is . Um like I said , this is

46:14.520 --> 46:16.970
just a base and a guideline and then

46:16.970 --> 46:19.320
the districts that award it especially

46:19.330 --> 46:21.497
obviously where the corps of engineers

46:21.497 --> 46:24.640
is doing the work . Um they will then

46:24.640 --> 46:26.807
take the responsibility along with the

46:26.807 --> 46:30.500
contractor that it is awarded to um as

46:30.510 --> 46:32.677
the desire of record um with the Corps

46:32.677 --> 46:34.399
of Engineers during the review

46:34.399 --> 46:37.050
obviously um if it is our contract . Um

46:37.050 --> 46:38.939
and like I said , where where the

46:38.939 --> 46:40.939
states are are using our designs or

46:40.939 --> 46:43.050
maybe not using our designs then that

46:43.050 --> 46:45.080
falls into their area and then they

46:45.080 --> 46:47.620
will take full responsibility as those

46:47.630 --> 46:49.630
things move out . Um Wait , I don't

46:49.630 --> 46:52.880
know if you have anything to add . Yes

46:52.880 --> 46:54.769
ma'am , I'll file on there just a

46:54.769 --> 46:56.991
second . I mean with this decentralized

46:56.991 --> 46:59.047
execution , which is really the only

46:59.047 --> 47:01.324
way we can do this in a timely fashion .

47:01.324 --> 47:01.300
Uh and it's gonna depend on the

47:01.300 --> 47:03.356
language in the local contracts that

47:03.356 --> 47:05.300
the district's do , but there will

47:05.300 --> 47:07.522
certainly be a contract that that is is

47:07.522 --> 47:09.633
tasking a constructor and maybe a a a

47:09.633 --> 47:11.856
partner that they're gonna have to have

47:11.856 --> 47:14.022
some designer of record responsibility

47:14.022 --> 47:16.078
particularly for the fire protection

47:16.078 --> 47:18.300
systems and and life safety and some of

47:18.300 --> 47:20.189
those things . But but back to my

47:20.189 --> 47:22.411
earlier point , I think you're gonna be

47:22.411 --> 47:24.467
in a three way huddle with the local

47:24.467 --> 47:24.450
authority having jurisdiction . So I

47:24.450 --> 47:26.672
think everybody's gonna have a piece of

47:26.672 --> 47:29.070
responsibility . But what we're finding

47:29.070 --> 47:31.181
because of these temporary facilities

47:31.181 --> 47:34.100
and the timeliness required the H . J .

47:34.100 --> 47:36.600
S out there are taking on the risk that

47:36.600 --> 47:38.656
they normally wouldn't take on . But

47:38.656 --> 47:40.822
but there is still some responsibility

47:40.822 --> 47:42.878
for our constructors and our a es as

47:42.878 --> 47:45.100
well in the designer of record capacity

47:45.100 --> 47:47.211
if that makes sense . It's just gonna

47:47.211 --> 47:46.240
very locally

47:52.080 --> 47:56.040
thank you wade the next question .

47:56.050 --> 47:58.210
Industry firm for unfair

47:59.980 --> 48:02.400
on new cases process for soliciting

48:02.400 --> 48:05.070
evaluating and selecting awardees , how

48:05.070 --> 48:06.848
our worries of these facilities

48:06.848 --> 48:09.070
selected and how are their capabilities

48:09.070 --> 48:10.681
considered in this process .

48:22.670 --> 48:24.990
Okay , sorry about that . Um As I

48:24.990 --> 48:26.934
stated earlier , each district and

48:26.934 --> 48:28.879
center is going to determine which

48:28.879 --> 48:31.101
acquisition approaches that give me the

48:31.101 --> 48:33.101
uniqueness of requirement . And I'm

48:33.101 --> 48:34.768
gonna give you many discos an

48:34.768 --> 48:36.546
opportunity if they want to add

48:36.546 --> 48:38.768
anything else onto it . I know you guys

48:38.768 --> 48:40.879
have more boots on the ground . Um So

48:40.879 --> 48:42.934
if you have anything to add , please

48:42.934 --> 48:46.250
feel free over this is laura I corn so

48:46.250 --> 48:48.700
for Atlanta . Um Yes , we're using a

48:48.700 --> 48:51.830
variety of approaches . Um most of the

48:51.830 --> 48:54.070
requirements in my area , which is

48:54.070 --> 48:56.014
everything east of the Mississippi

48:56.014 --> 48:57.959
we're doing through a design build

48:57.959 --> 49:01.500
limited source competition . So a Phase

49:01.500 --> 49:03.760
one solicitation is issued to limited

49:03.770 --> 49:06.470
sources based upon market research . We

49:06.470 --> 49:09.480
then down select to a phase to pull and

49:09.480 --> 49:11.480
make awards for individual projects

49:11.480 --> 49:13.940
from that pool . Um We also have other

49:13.940 --> 49:16.440
tools within you say that can be used .

49:16.450 --> 49:18.970
Um There's a R . D . I . Program out of

49:18.970 --> 49:21.610
Omaha Denver heath . It's that better

49:21.610 --> 49:23.940
than me . And then we also have Mrr

49:23.950 --> 49:26.140
contracts out of Huntsville . That's

49:26.140 --> 49:28.307
medical renewal and repair . I believe

49:28.307 --> 49:30.740
it stands for and they have available

49:30.740 --> 49:33.380
capacity as well . So with each project

49:33.390 --> 49:35.690
you you look at what's required and

49:35.690 --> 49:37.850
determine which approach is going to

49:37.850 --> 49:40.520
best meet our needs and with our design

49:40.520 --> 49:42.576
build tools that we're using . We're

49:42.576 --> 49:44.687
certainly doing what we can to try to

49:44.687 --> 49:46.520
consider local businesses to the

49:46.520 --> 49:48.000
maximum extent possible .

49:55.770 --> 49:57.714
Great , thank you Laura . The next

49:57.714 --> 50:01.410
question . I'm sorry . This is Denver

50:01.410 --> 50:04.290
Heat but I think Laura laid that out

50:04.290 --> 50:06.290
very nicely . The only thing that I

50:06.290 --> 50:09.790
would just like to add is um We're

50:09.790 --> 50:12.200
working in an urgent and compelling or

50:12.200 --> 50:15.560
unusual environment here uh and so if

50:15.560 --> 50:17.782
you're , if you're used to working with

50:17.782 --> 50:19.893
the Corps of Engineers when we're not

50:19.893 --> 50:22.004
in an urgent environment , we'll take

50:22.004 --> 50:24.004
15 days to announce a requirement .

50:24.004 --> 50:25.727
Will take 30 days to receive a

50:25.727 --> 50:28.450
solicitation . We'll go into an

50:28.450 --> 50:31.160
evaluation process with boards , will

50:31.170 --> 50:34.380
hold multiple rounds of discussions And

50:34.380 --> 50:37.940
then months later will will emerge with

50:37.940 --> 50:40.820
a with a contract award . Uh the

50:40.820 --> 50:42.764
environment that we have here with

50:42.764 --> 50:44.660
COVID-19 being a life safety

50:44.670 --> 50:47.310
environment , the districts and the

50:47.320 --> 50:49.542
centers on the ground are working under

50:49.542 --> 50:51.709
unusual and compelling urgency , which

50:51.709 --> 50:53.542
means they're going through that

50:53.542 --> 50:55.764
process in a matter of days . It's it's

50:55.764 --> 50:57.487
not even a week uh in terms of

50:57.487 --> 50:59.376
selecting a contractor and moving

50:59.376 --> 51:01.790
forward uh from the , from the point of

51:01.790 --> 51:04.810
the mission assignment in a tasking

51:04.810 --> 51:07.950
order from fema . Our job is to make

51:07.950 --> 51:09.894
sure that we're selecting the best

51:09.894 --> 51:12.006
contractor available that can respond

51:12.006 --> 51:14.228
in a robust manner and get them on site

51:14.228 --> 51:16.339
as quickly as we can . And and that's

51:16.339 --> 51:19.170
why it's so important for you provide

51:19.170 --> 51:21.003
your information from the market

51:21.003 --> 51:23.570
research perspective on this website

51:23.580 --> 51:26.610
and then also to the local offices who

51:26.610 --> 51:29.150
are doing sources salt right now we are

51:29.150 --> 51:31.372
in in various stages all throughout the

51:31.372 --> 51:33.594
country right now some are in execution

51:33.594 --> 51:35.428
mode executing actions that have

51:35.428 --> 51:37.317
already been assigned . Uh , some

51:37.317 --> 51:39.290
offices are waiting on mission

51:39.290 --> 51:41.190
assignments from fema and tasking

51:41.190 --> 51:43.357
orders . And so that's why you see the

51:43.357 --> 51:46.270
differences in some executing actual

51:46.270 --> 51:48.820
contracts and others executing source

51:48.820 --> 51:50.876
of thought and and doing more market

51:50.876 --> 51:53.770
research . So please provide us your ,

51:53.780 --> 51:56.860
your documentation on the website . Uh ,

51:56.870 --> 51:58.537
and because this is an urgent

51:58.537 --> 51:59.592
environment over .

52:07.150 --> 52:09.660
Great . Thank you Denver . The next

52:09.660 --> 52:11.827
question is going to relate to changes

52:11.827 --> 52:14.049
and modifications to the general scopes

52:14.049 --> 52:16.120
of work . We understand that side

52:16.120 --> 52:18.170
adaptations are a necessary part of

52:18.170 --> 52:20.960
this contingent operation as changes to

52:20.960 --> 52:23.071
the configuration for the arena , the

52:23.071 --> 52:25.071
healthcare and other alternate care

52:25.071 --> 52:27.238
facility concepts are made such as the

52:27.238 --> 52:30.040
isolation pod configurations , h back ,

52:30.050 --> 52:32.330
bad gas and power . How long have these

52:32.340 --> 52:33.896
changes been documented and

52:33.896 --> 52:36.007
incorporated for future procurement .

52:38.250 --> 52:40.600
Hey McKenzie , this is way DOS I'll

52:40.600 --> 52:42.933
take that one . The short answer is yes .

52:42.933 --> 52:45.050
We have been incorporating feedback

52:45.050 --> 52:47.840
from the field into these concepts , uh ,

52:47.850 --> 52:49.628
sketches and performance , work

52:49.628 --> 52:51.906
statements and equipment list etcetera .

52:51.906 --> 52:54.400
The core team has been established for

52:54.400 --> 52:56.622
a couple of weeks now that they came up

52:56.622 --> 52:58.233
with the concept and we have

52:58.233 --> 53:00.400
established points of contact for each

53:00.400 --> 53:02.511
of our major subordinate commands and

53:02.511 --> 53:02.320
so they're feeding all their lessons

53:02.320 --> 53:04.376
learned back through us . We've also

53:04.376 --> 53:06.431
set up a lessons learned side on the

53:06.431 --> 53:08.598
core of engineers knowledge management

53:08.598 --> 53:10.709
portal . And so all the districts and

53:10.709 --> 53:12.876
divisions are sharing information that

53:12.876 --> 53:15.042
way as well . Uh And we uh we've got a

53:15.042 --> 53:17.264
little more formal uh mechanism to take

53:17.264 --> 53:19.431
our F . I . S . From the district . So

53:19.431 --> 53:21.542
we're trying to archive all that . Uh

53:21.542 --> 53:23.376
and and uh use it as we go , but

53:23.376 --> 53:25.487
shorter injuries . Yes , we're trying

53:25.487 --> 53:27.542
to take those and modify and version

53:27.542 --> 53:29.764
control is a challenge . But but yeah ,

53:29.764 --> 53:32.130
at some point we'll call the ball but

53:32.140 --> 53:34.196
we're still taking a lot of feedback

53:34.196 --> 53:36.307
and trying to push out new updates to

53:36.307 --> 53:38.196
the website as appropriate over .

53:43.550 --> 53:46.100
Thank you . Thank you . Ed the next

53:46.100 --> 53:48.460
question , have there been or do you

53:48.460 --> 53:50.430
anticipate doing any hotels to

53:50.430 --> 53:51.652
healthcare projects ?

53:54.550 --> 53:56.606
This is chris Waldorf again and I'll

53:56.606 --> 53:58.717
talk to that anybody else can type up

53:58.717 --> 54:01.530
if they want from . But but from what I

54:01.530 --> 54:04.910
have seen so far , we actually for an

54:04.910 --> 54:07.140
actual hotel , the Corps of Engineers

54:07.140 --> 54:10.740
has just awarded one of um to an actual

54:10.740 --> 54:14.060
hotel . And that was in ST louis um But

54:14.070 --> 54:17.070
out of the 2021 that we have awarded .

54:17.080 --> 54:20.910
Um so far seven

54:20.920 --> 54:22.976
actually have used that design . Now

54:22.976 --> 54:25.330
that design is , you know , it could be

54:25.340 --> 54:29.040
for an old , you know , maybe uh an old

54:29.040 --> 54:31.490
hospital that that has been shut down

54:31.500 --> 54:35.120
or a dorm or another

54:35.120 --> 54:37.287
facility like that . But for us , only

54:37.287 --> 54:39.930
one actual live hotel if you want to

54:39.930 --> 54:42.152
call it that um obviously that that was

54:42.152 --> 54:45.760
was shut down for um coronavirus um

54:45.770 --> 54:49.490
impacts um is all that we've actually

54:49.490 --> 54:51.546
done but we're using seven of that ,

54:51.546 --> 54:55.470
that typical design throughout over .

55:01.640 --> 55:03.807
Great . Does anyone have anything else

55:03.807 --> 55:07.050
to add from the panelists ? Yeah ,

55:07.060 --> 55:09.171
chris this is my choice . I would add

55:09.171 --> 55:11.338
as we started early on in this process

55:11.338 --> 55:13.504
and we're just starting to develop the

55:13.504 --> 55:16.010
hotel to healthcare option . We had a

55:16.010 --> 55:18.460
couple that that health and human

55:18.460 --> 55:20.349
services had put in place and the

55:20.349 --> 55:22.516
public health service had put in place

55:22.516 --> 55:24.738
out in California and so there was some

55:24.738 --> 55:26.960
real grill on the ground sort of , they

55:26.960 --> 55:29.182
were already operating had already gone

55:29.182 --> 55:31.349
through that process . So we used used

55:31.349 --> 55:34.090
those two examples to help frame our

55:34.100 --> 55:36.490
original concept and think through how

55:36.490 --> 55:38.490
we would do that . And so that that

55:38.490 --> 55:40.657
that that helped us sort of jump start

55:40.657 --> 55:42.879
from from getting that concept in place

55:42.879 --> 55:45.046
rather than just starting from a clean

55:45.046 --> 55:47.870
sheet of paper and and no idea and like

55:47.880 --> 55:49.769
Chris has said , we're just we're

55:49.769 --> 55:51.880
starting to see that directly applied

55:51.880 --> 55:54.060
to the To one hotel in there louis but

55:54.060 --> 55:56.250
we've seen him take versions of that

55:56.250 --> 55:57.861
concept and apply it to some

55:57.861 --> 56:00.130
dormitories , existing hospital faces

56:00.150 --> 56:02.350
and other spaces other than arenas .

56:02.830 --> 56:04.163
That's it . Thank you .

56:07.330 --> 56:10.200
Thank you Mr schulz . The next question

56:10.200 --> 56:12.980
is going to be related to the end

56:12.980 --> 56:16.120
services uh from the industry . We have

56:16.120 --> 56:18.176
not seen any awards for construction

56:18.176 --> 56:20.398
management services today , will you be

56:20.398 --> 56:24.310
soliciting the services ? I'll talk to

56:24.310 --> 56:26.421
that since I'm the E N C chief , This

56:26.421 --> 56:28.880
is chris Ohlendorf again . So , um , as

56:28.880 --> 56:30.936
I stated earlier , these are , these

56:30.936 --> 56:32.991
are quick from flash debating and so

56:32.991 --> 56:34.991
they are , you know , anywhere from

56:34.991 --> 56:37.269
five days to two weeks from , you know ,

56:37.269 --> 56:39.213
to actually being constructed . So

56:39.213 --> 56:41.620
right now with our capacity , our in

56:41.620 --> 56:43.731
house capacity for as quickly as they

56:43.731 --> 56:45.898
are occurring . And this goes , like I

56:45.898 --> 56:48.064
said for our projects , um we're using

56:48.064 --> 56:50.176
our in house personnel , like we like

56:50.176 --> 56:52.287
we would on on our regular projects .

56:52.287 --> 56:54.564
So whether , you know , it's , it's uh ,

56:54.564 --> 56:57.680
a Ceo or it's , it's um , you know ,

56:57.690 --> 56:59.801
construction managers , we've got out

56:59.801 --> 57:01.857
in the field working with these , we

57:01.857 --> 57:03.912
were doing the oversight on that . I

57:03.912 --> 57:06.134
cannot speak actually to how the States

57:06.134 --> 57:07.968
are doing it . But like I said ,

57:07.968 --> 57:10.023
depending on , they probably do it ,

57:10.023 --> 57:09.540
how they normally do any of their

57:09.540 --> 57:11.540
construction projects . And I don't

57:11.540 --> 57:13.429
know , I would , I would make the

57:13.429 --> 57:15.596
assumption that this is the assumption

57:15.596 --> 57:17.651
that they probably don't have the in

57:17.651 --> 57:19.762
house manpower and that they probably

57:19.762 --> 57:19.750
contract that out . But the Corps of

57:19.750 --> 57:21.861
Engineers with our contracts is using

57:21.861 --> 57:23.139
in house manpower over

57:27.530 --> 57:29.308
Great thank you Dr Alton Door .

57:29.930 --> 57:32.263
Unfortunately we're running out of time .

57:32.263 --> 57:34.152
So we only have time for one more

57:34.152 --> 57:36.152
question and then I will do a quick

57:36.152 --> 57:38.374
little close out . The last question is

57:38.374 --> 57:40.597
if you think requiring traditional cost

57:40.597 --> 57:42.319
accounting standards when cost

57:42.319 --> 57:43.486
contracts are used .

57:46.030 --> 57:49.530
Okay , this is Gilligan um , Yes cast

57:49.530 --> 57:51.697
requirements are still in effect right

57:51.697 --> 57:53.808
now . We do understand that there's a

57:53.808 --> 57:55.641
lot of firms that do not have an

57:55.641 --> 57:57.863
approved cost accounting system . So we

57:57.863 --> 58:00.030
have asked for class deviation for all

58:00.030 --> 58:02.141
COVID-19 awards and I think this will

58:02.141 --> 58:04.308
be a big help for small businesses and

58:04.308 --> 58:06.530
you know , construction contractors who

58:06.530 --> 58:08.641
normally don't do cost type contracts

58:08.641 --> 58:08.460
over .

58:14.730 --> 58:16.563
Great , thank you very much . Mr

58:16.563 --> 58:18.786
english . That was all the time we have

58:18.786 --> 58:20.508
for questions I wanted to tell

58:20.508 --> 58:22.452
everybody , thank you guys for all

58:22.452 --> 58:24.563
attending and we have received all of

58:24.563 --> 58:26.508
your questions in the chat and the

58:26.508 --> 58:28.452
email and we have we'll be posting

58:28.452 --> 58:30.619
responses to additional questions that

58:30.619 --> 58:32.730
we didn't have time to answer on this

58:32.730 --> 58:34.563
call on the website . As well as
