Educational groups are accommodated at no charge for transportation to the Island and return during the normal operating hours. Many groups are large and utilize a tour bus.We have the ability to hire LI additional vessels, if needed, to move the entire educational group.We can open the gate adjacent to the"Train"to allow the bus to enter Knights Key through a delivery entrance to discharge the children m and their luggage immediately adjacent to our dock and vessels.This makes the arrival of the groups 06 more organized,the guests and students are in one location, and the vessels are right there at the dock. There is no need to carry luggage any distance.We have arranged this as part of our service. Transporting these groups at hours other than during school hours is not an issue.We have transported groups as early as 5:30 A.M.and as late as 11 P.M.We are as flexible as possible to accommodate Pigeon Key and want to make sure that their guests and students have a great experience while visiting our area. m Packet Pg.326 C.10.b Paradise Divers, Inc. RFP-Temporary Ferry Service Between Marathon and Pigeon Key March 18, 2015 SERVICE REQUIREMENTS: RFP: Pg. 15, A.1. b.. Historic Tours: Historic Tour participants average less than 16 passengers per tour.This is documented. During .2 unusually busy times the participation may be higher, but this is manageable and infrequent.The current tour schedule is very efficient for the Foundation.We also have made adjustments for X emergency situations where a tour guide is unavailable,the train staff is unavailable, etc. In situations such as these we have trained our staff to contact the Executive Director and determine the most appropriate course of action. Our staff can fill a temporary void when needed. Contracted Functions and Guest House Use: RFP: Pg 16, 1.c. and d. LN In lieu of the Art Festival,we provided transportation for a function at Pigeon Key for which over 800 people were invited. We were able to provide transportation for each and every person that attended that function.The wait time for any one person was less than 30 minutes.We schedule the boats so that no one was unduly delayed and everyone who wanted to be off the Island at a certain time was 0 accommodated. Our last trip from Pigeon Key to Knights Key was at 1:00 A.M.This event was a huge success for Pigeon Key Foundation.We are able to transport up to 200 people within a 90 minute �- timeframe. LO Contracted Functions and Guest House Use reservations that have been accepted by Pigeon Key are planned in advance.The group that is utilizing the Island has a planned arrival date, arrival time, length c, of stay,departure date, and departure time.These groups can be integrated into the daily transportation schedule. Most groups, no matter what their purpose, will have prearranged reservations to use the Island, length of stay, number of nights,days, meals, activities,etc. already in place.We have > always had a good communications system with the Pigeon Key staff and coordinate our transportation and services with the reservations and requirements of the group that has reserved the Island. Depending on the schedule approved by Pigeon Key,these groups can be integrated during the base service hours of 10 AM and 4 PM. Much of the smooth operation of the transportation of guests will be CLi predetermined by the Pigeon Key staff and their reservations system,communication with their guests, and the time frames determined by the reservation. Paradise Divers will always be as accommodating as possible within reasonable terms to transport passengers to and from the Pigeon Key dock. Foundation Staff: RFP: Page 16, 1.e. Foundation staff regularly utilizes the ferry service.

Many times the staff person will contact the captain on duty and let them know their plans.We have a very good rapport with Pigeon Key staff and communication is essential. Packet Pg.327 C.10.b Paradise Divers, Inc. RFP-Temporary Ferry Service Between Marathon and Pigeon Key March 18, 2015 Emergency Access: RFP: Page 16, 1. f. Three of our captains reside in Marathon.An emergency response time to evacuate people would be _ travel time from their home to the vessel dockage and then to Pigeon Key. Depending on traffic,time of day or night,this time will vary, but will usually be close to 30 minutes. If a captain has to travel from Big �+ Pine,that increases the response time to 45 minutes.There are currently two small un-inspected vessels docked at the Pigeon Key Island dock for staff use.The staff is trained to run, navigate, and evacuate the Island in case of emergency. Larry Wright is First Aid and CPR instructors and have certified the staff of Pigeon Key in these areas.That would also meet the requirement of the Fire Marshall. In an emergency, like anywhere else in the Florida Keys there is air evacuation available(this has already been implemented and a helicopter has landed at Pigeon Key for testing and experience purposes).Also available are Florida Fish and Wildlife, Florida Marine Patrol,and the U.S.Coast Guard. For guests who stay on Pigeon Key,they complete liability releases. For an emergency evacuation,we have an on call person 24 hours per day and 7 days per week. Emergency medical personnel can meet us at the dock and accompany us to Pigeon Key to have immediate professional medical assistance. In addition, our boats carry first aid kits and oxygen on every trip. 0 LO SERVICE REQUIREMENTS Good Transport: RFP: Page 16, 2. Consumable: RFP: Page 16, 2.a. Goods Transportation for consumables can be accomplished either prior to 10 AM or after 4 PM. Items such as food and other supplies are transported when passengers are not present on the vessel during the 10 AM to 4 PM time schedule. In our experience,on a daily basis,there will not be passengers on every available trip time during the operating day. During these times,we would consolidate our trips by transporting non-hazardous goods and supplies.We also check in the food that is delivered.We match the cases of food delivered to the delivery invoice as we are loading the boxes onto the vessel. If we did not do that and the order was short, it would be difficult for Pigeon Key to correct the situation. Items CL such as diesel fuel, propane fuel, and the removal of rubbish would be done prior to moving any guests or after 4PM.These would be the last trips of the operating day. Paradise Divers already has in place an Emergency Spill Contingency Plan,which is required by the Department of Transportation, utilizing SWS Environmental First Response Company. In accordance with our Post Trip Boat Procedures,the vessel is 06 washed,scrubbed, and disinfected each night.This procedure is required.We do this after each trip on our vessels, and therefore is already an established procedure.We have transported over 29,000 gallons of diesel fuel between Knights Key and Pigeon Key during the past seven years. We have removed over o 5,000 bags of trash, plus washing machines, refrigerators, furniture, building materials, propane,and debris. Fuel is transported at times that is most convenient for the Island.We have a very efficient communication system in place to confirm the fuel level at the Island and usage. Depending on which generator is running,the fuel consumption rate changes. On the Marathon side, fuel is delivered to the "Train" storage facility as needed.We monitor the level of this storage tank and the level of the fuel tank on the Island to make sure that there is enough fuel at either end to sufficiently power the generator(s).

In order to eliminate duplicate expenses, we utilize the dumpster at the Pigeon Key "Train".This dumpster is sufficient for the trash from the Island. Other Material:RFP: Page 17, b. a' Delivery of other materials such as tents,tables,chairs, other similar materials, catering supplies,service technician's equipment, is accomplished regularly.Scheduling delivery of these goods is planned in 8 advance and integrated with the daily activities of the Island using effective communications and o scheduling.We have the ability to let the large delivery trucks enter Knights Key through a separate .0 delivery gate.The goods are off loaded in close proximity to our dock and vessel.We load and unload LO the supplies for Pigeon Key.The goods are then transported to Pigeon Key and off loaded at the dock by our staff working closely with Pigeon Key staff to suit their time and schedule.
