"Consistent with asset management guidance provided by
the Real Property Management Council and Executive Order
13327, FEMA was one of the first federal entities to compile
complete and accurate real property facility inventories and
condition assessments. Managers and associates from Keres
Consulting have been working closely with us to update,
maintain and augment our Real Property Management System and
we value their commitment to developing timely and creative
solutions that help clients achieve mission success."

"I just wanted to take this opportunity to say how
much CEU Miami appreciates your efforts and the quality of
work you produce. Over the past year, the Asset Reviews
completed by you and your team have been invaluable. In
addition to identifying underutilized or excess property, the
assemblage of real property information into the detailed
package you produce has helped refine our files and make
property information more accessible; allowing us to answer
many customer and congressional questions with ease. Thank
you for all of your work and I look forward to continuing this
enterprise.”

“Within the technical and administrative support
from Keres Consulting, Incorporated, DoD has developed a
database known as the Native American Environmental Tracking
System (NAETS). NAETS is a web based database where tribal
governments and other interested parties may report and view
environmental impacts on Indian lands that they suspect are
the result of DoD activities. Keres maintains the database in
an exemplary manner, which includes DoD's progress in
reviewing the reports of impacts, actions taken to mitigate
these impacts, and the projected costs to complete mitigation
activities. Keres is most proficient in its care of the
database and makes it possible for DoD to meet this key
provision of the Congressional mandate."

“We also appreciate the quality of work that Betty
and her associates (at Keres) consistently produce. We in GSA
have also used the asset reviews for many strategic decisions.
As you probably know, GSA has been under a major portfolio
restructuring initiative for the past few years, and the asset
review is an invaluable tool for us in determining which
assets are indeed "assets” and which we need to dispose of…
Betty, thank you and your team so much for your service to
both us and USCG Miami Civil Engineering Unit (CEU).”

"The knowledgeable staff at Keres never fails to
provides reliable, efficient support to our District’s Native
American Lands Environmental Mitigation Program (NALEMP). I’d
recommend them highly.”

“I am very pleased with the administrative,
managerial, and technical support that I receive from Keres
Consulting, Incorporated. I manage DoD’s multi-million dollar
Native American Lands Environmental Mitigation Program (NALEMP),
a Congressionally directed initiative to address environmental
impacts on Indian lands resulting from DoD activities. As a
support contractor, Keres is a strong performer in helping me
manage NALEMP. Keres has helped me ensure that program
objectives are met within critical timelines and implements
decisions in a high quality manner. Due to the nature of
NALEMP funding, Keres must annually review environmental
impact reports, analyze tribal eligibility requirements for
funding, and provide technical assistance to DoD project
managers to negotiate cooperative agreements between DoD and
tribes to address these impacts.
"Keres analyzes DoD policy and program issues of interest
to the Native American community, drafts policy statements,
facilitates training of DoD personnel, and conducts strategic
meetings and conferences. Keres recently provided technical
and administrative support for the development of a DoD
Instruction for implementing the DoD American Indian and
Alaska Native Policy and is currently supporting the
development of a DoD Consultation Protocol for DoD
interactions with Native Hawaiian Organizations.
"Keres uses its demonstrated knowledge and expertise in
environmental management coupled with a full understanding of
the DoD mission to support my overall responsibilities as
DoD’s Senior Tribal Liaison."
