Answer 1

The error is that you're not using HTTPS, but you're using an MEX binding for HTTPS rather than HTTP. TO fix this, change this line:
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
To
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />

Answer 2

In your interface declaration IAlertService, add the name attribute beside the namespace if you do not have it yet...
[ServiceContract(Name = "NameNeeded", Namespace = "http://blahbalh")]
public interface IAlertService
{
.....
}
