Onsite Activation: The Activation Fee Schedule is executed when requested by the Client and/or their designee and followed with a written "Notice to Proceed" or "Task Order" to report to the Emergency Operation Center or other applicable location. Partial days are billed at 12-hour increments. Initial IMST Response Team will vary in number of staff based on the scope of each event. Typically, a two (2) person team will respond for Phase 1 to evaluate situation status and resource need. Phase 2, staffing will ramp up to address immediate needs and should an event escalate to significant proportions, Early Alert will have pre-staged staffing on standby for immediate response. Activation (IMST) fees are eligible for FEMA reimbursement when the Governing Agency is included in a declared disaster by a Presidential Declaration. The amount of the recovery may vary depending on the disaster eligibility of Federal, State, and local match for the event. (i.e.: In a hurricane activation: 100% recovery for Emergency Protective Measures for initial 72 hours response, 75% Federal /25% (divided by local and state) for other disaster recovery operations). Eligibility is not guaranteed, and CLIENT should stay informed to all FEMA updates and changes as applicable. Phase 2 Response Fees: Professional fees are invoiced on a bi-monthly basis. Expenses are billed to the CLIENT at EA's cost. Expense reimbursement includes transportation, lodging, meals and incidentals. EA will make every effort to keep expenses to a minimum. We encourage CLIENT to assist us with this by any means available. To simplify billings, we are agreeable (and prefer) to establishing per diems that are agreeable to the both the CLIENT and our team, which recognize the need to accurately reflect the prevailing local economic conditions during the duration of the deployment. Fee payments and associated financial obligations resulting from service requests and fulfilment of contract obligations are due in full, as services are rendered and are not dependent on or subject to any application for FEMA and/or State reimbursement. * Portal to Portal billing for initial response in Phase 2 deployment, includes travel period and continues until such time EARLY ALERT determines the client is ready to transition or has transitioned from the Emergency Response phase into the Recovery phase and that the EOC Operational Period has transitioned to normal business hours. Notification and coordination are provided to the client when this transition occurs. Note 2: Travel expenses are not included and will be invoiced as actual expenses plus per diem per Schedule C.
