Consulting Work for New Offsite Emergency Response/Failover Center 

Scope of work

• Mile2 shall guide system vendor of client’s choice in the testing of the plan while onsite and provide all guidelines for testing;
• Mile2 shall supervise testing of the plan and be involved in any actual testing where client advises once onsite.  
• Mile2 shall write a neutral third party audit report on any test results gathered from testing or from vendor testing as directed by client and deliver written report in hardcopy and electronic format, once any drafts of said report are approved by client management.

Phase 1:  Discovery, research and Assess DR options.
This Phase includes the on-site observation at the client’s facilities.

Phase 2:  Coordinate installation and create a DR blueprint.
This phase includes 5 days on-site to assess, create and develop the Disaster Recovery Plan for the client.

Phase 3: Evaluate and Test
This phase will assist with final design, and sign off on suggested implementation/design from equipment/IT vendor on the project as to final level of soundness, security and standards.  The Goal is to assist in the final design, project management and sign off of final design prior to implementation of the system by the equipment/IT vendor chosen by Client.

Questions to Consider: 

• What assets does the client want to secure?
• What critical components must be reproduced?
• What is the amount of down time that is acceptable?
• What is the client budget?
• A warm site might be desired but is a hot site industry standards?

Time Frame:
The project will require eight weeks for the work entailed in the scope of work. In addition to this, we will need an additional 3-4 weeks by the Client to conduct any final installation work required by any 3^rd party equipment vendor.  By moving along this schedule, the Client has time to finalize all arrangements for this critical new site PRIOR to the start of hurricane season in late spring.

Documentation:
Full documentation of mile2's work will be maintained and printouts of such work will be included as part of the final DR & BCP report.  This information should be referenced when reading this report and is considered to be an integral part of the final report .
