1. Identify provisions made for the acquisition of essential personnel and resources, if necessary, for continuity of operations for up to 30 days or until normal operations can be resumed (DFARS 252.237-7024(b)(1)).

Our company has established many associated contacts and relationships through out the country and the world, including brokers, partnering companies, subcontractors and consultants. This allows us depth on several fronts. Critical to vessel operations is the ability to provide full crews to the vessels in service. This may be done initially by relief crews for those vessels, on union supported vessels depth of crew being supplied can be done from other areas in the country not effected as well as from key established subcontractors. Program management and business management have been previously supplemented by competent experienced consultants and brokers, who remain available to assist or, fill in for key positions within our company or with their associated experience with the company step in and manage the company , its assets and fulfill contracted obligations.

2. Address challenges associated with maintaining essential contractor services during an extended event, such as a pandemic that occurs in repeated waves (DFARS 252.237-7024(b)(2)(i)).

As the service providers we have established have supported us before on periodic basis and contract specific needs we foresee no problems in engaging these support services over a long term basis as required. Also given a pandemic occurrence our support network is geographically diverse mitigating a pandemic event in any single area of the country. Though temporary help could be provided from general temporary service agencies we would not solely depend on this but primarily depend on our brokers, partners and consultants.

3. Address the time lapse associated with the initiation of the acquisition of essential personnel and resources and their actual availability on site (DFARS 252.237-7024(b)(2)(ii)).

As our brokers, consultants, and partners are readily available for our utilization today and are geographically diverse allowing us the ability to engage them immediately. An establishment of assignments, organizational responsibilities, and dissemination would take several days and effectiveness would increase over time post initial reorganization. Time would also depend on the extent of the pandemic and the public services such as the internet, electricity and phones, but given ability to communicate an alternate organization being in place ready to operate would be less than one week.

4. Address the components, processes, and requirements for the identification, training, and preparedness of personnel who are capable of relocating to alternate facilities or performing work from home (DFARS 252.237-7024(b)(2)(iii)).

The people whether brokers, consultants, or partners already have familiarity with our operations and contractual obligations. As many of our employees currently have the ability to work from home or alternate locations they have the information and capability to function remotely. Our brokers, consultants and partners to be utilized during an emergency or catastrophic occurrence currently operate from alternate locations than our offices. Additional training would be task specific to the necessity of filling in for the loss of any employees such training would be provided by key personnel as required and if required.

5. Address any established alert and notification procedures for mobilizing identified ``essential contractor service'' personnel (DFARS 252.237-7024(b)(2)(iv)).

Our business is a small business with an agile work force working across the many aspects of the business. All employees involved in program management of or executing obligations have been instructed to contact the company principles during any emergency or catastrophic event for any direction that may be necessary to continue operations or obtain additional assistance.

6. Address the approach for communicating expectations to contractor employees regarding their roles and responsibilities during a crisis (DFARS 252.237-7024(b)(2)(v)).

The control of the company is in the primary hands of the four principals of the company. These principals would coordinate and communicate the tasks and expectations to any and all contractor employees.
