<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />OOJJ85 <br /> <br />1.0 PIKE'S PEAK REGIONAL EARLY FLOOD WARNING SYSTEM <br /> <br />Flash floods that commonly occur in the front range of the Colorado Rockies <br />give precious little time for communities to prepare. Time is critical. <br />Your flood warning system must be the most responsive system available. The <br />time necessary to detect, communicate, analyze, and warn must be reduced to <br />the minimum possible in order to maximize the time available to respond. <br /> <br />Sierra/Misco specializes in creating systems that meet the strict test of <br />time. Our highly acclaimed Enhanced ALERT flood warning systems are <br />designed specifically to help communities to maximize their opportunity to <br />save lives and reduce property damage. We believe that the Enhanced ALERT <br />flood warning system from Sierra/Mis co is the most appropriate technology <br />for flood warnings in the Pike's Peak Region. <br /> <br />The ALERT technology uses the storm itself to determine how fast and how <br />often to report its information to you. The harder it rains. the harder <br />ALERT works for you. The system responds exactly as storm intensity <br />changes. The highest intensity portions of storms are precisely and <br />immediately identified. <br /> <br />The ALERT technology is also ideal for sharing information between base <br />stations in the same community or with other communities. System growth is <br />easy and resources can be shared. The potential for regional participation <br />is optimized. <br /> <br />Two approaches are presented in the following sections. First in Section 2, <br />we have proposed a primary configuration that meets or exceeds the <br />requirements specified in the Request for Proposals. our second proposal <br />consists of a wide array of options for Enhanced ALERT that are now <br />available. These options (Section 6) provide you with opportunities to <br />make the Pike's Peak Region System an even more effective public safety <br />tool at prices we're certain that you'll find attractive. <br />
