In September of 2001 the company began operating as DRC Emergency Services, LLC out of the State of Alabama. DRC has responded to numerous natural or man-made disaster events involving hundreds of contracts. DRC has collected over 200 million cubic yards of debris and established industry benchmarks for debris recycling and collection efficiencies. The 2008 hurricane season produced two devastating storms in Hurricane Ike and Hurricane Gustav in which DRC responded in service to 36 separate contracts, including the cities of New Orleans, Houston, and Galveston. DRC recycled 100% of the debris we collected in Houston, TX in the wake of Hurricane Ike, which amounted to over 5 million cubic yards. We also set an industry record for the most debris collected in a single day in 2008 and, according to FEMA officials, the record still stands today. During the 2004 Hurricane season alone, DRC worked 37 virtually simultaneous, separate contracts performing a total of over $150,000,000 in emergency work, and recovering over 10,000,000 cubic yards of debris in a four and half month period. In approximately 100 days DRC removed and disposed of approximately 10,000,000 cubic yards of debris. DRC also recovered, screened and restored tens of thousands of cubic yards of displaced sand and debris to restore 15 miles of beaches destroyed in Florida in the aftermath of Hurricane Ivan. During 2005 and 2006, DRC performed work on damages from Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma from the Florida Keys to Louisiana all the way to Houston, Texas. DRC Emergency Services, LLC possess extensive experience with disaster debris removal and therefore has an excellent understanding of the work to be performed. Having performed debris operations nearly all of the United States and internationally for over 27 years, DRC takes pride in bringing innovation and professionalism to each project undertaken. We’ve consistently demonstrated an ability to both self-perform work immediately and engage a network of over 5,000 subcontracting partners. This unique ability means that no matter the location or size of an event, we can respond immediately and effectively. OFFICE LOCATIONS DRC has an office in West Palm Beach, Florida, which is located a little over an hour away from Miami Shores Village. Our additional office locations in Galveston, Texas, New Orleans, Louisiana, Semmes, Alabama, and Surf City, North Carolina provide us with geographical maneuverability along the Gulf Coast, and allow us to continue to provide services to Miami Shores Village should any location be compromised during a disaster. DRC currently has dozens of reservists and hundreds of subcontractors ready to participate in any response effort. Depending on the size of an event which may strike Miami Shores Village, DRC will dedicate all necessary manpower and equipment and in no case will the project be understaffed. OFFICERS Officers of DRC are as follows: John Sullivan, Todd Sullivan, William Sullivan, Kurt Thormahlen, Mark Stafford, and Kristy Fuentes. 13 FINANCIAL STRENGTH AND STABILITY DRC is one of the most financially sound and stable companies in the disaster response industry. With a bonding capacity of over $150.0 million and access to dedicated cash and credit lines in excess of $100.0 million, DRC has the ability to manage and complete simultaneous projects without being hindered by a lack of operating capital. During multiple storms seasons over the past decade, DRC operated substantially out of pocket prior to client payment, yet remained fully capable of providing the critical services necessary to complete all contracts. DRC is managed and operated by the ownership SLSCO, L.P. (SLS), which is a very well- capitalized, privately-held family of companies specializing in disaster response, recovery and restoration. Prior to the acquisition of DRC and throughout its twenty-year history, SLS has never failed to meet an obligation due to financial instability. The ownership of SLS is dedicated to providing and sustaining the capital necessary to allow DRC to remain a leader in the disaster recovery industry. • DRC is capable of insuring projects of any size, with unlimited key coverage amounts. With the support of SLS, DRC has over $100.0 million of available working capital and has the financial ability to bid on and perform projects in excess of $250.0 million. • DRC has a bonding capacity of over $150.0 million. • In 2008, following Hurricanes Ike and Gustav, DRC provided debris removal services for 36 separate and simultaneous disaster management services contracts, including the cities of Houston, Galveston and New Orleans. The total value of these contracts was approximately $200.0 million. • In 2005-2006, DRC mobilized, performed and completed a contract valued at over $100.0 million for the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development in response to Hurricane Katrina, while performing numerous other projects across the United States. • During the 2004 hurricane season, DRC worked 37 separate contracts totaling over $150.0 million in emergency work, recovering over 10.0 million cubic yards of debris in a four and a half month period. Throughout this period, all subcontractors were paid on a weekly basis regardless of the timing of DRC’s receipt of interim client invoice payments. • DRC has never failed to complete any awarded work, has never defaulted on a contract and has never filed for bankruptcy. The Company has a 100% assignment completion record.

Bertram, Pendleton Judge/Executive, Commonwealth of Kentucky COMPLIANCE STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES DRC Emergency Services, LLC, by virtue of its preparedness, responsiveness, demonstrated comprehensive competency, ethical business conduct and fair pricing, aspires to be the “first in response” for natural and physical disasters requiring an urgent response team. DRC is an organization of people who work as a team to provide solutions to our customers’ urgent problems, while always doing the right thing. We recognize that how we do our work is as important as what work we do. We will not tolerate any short cuts when it comes to our ethical values and standards of conduct. The senior management and key personnel of DRC are committed to the highest standard of ethical conduct and compliance. DRC is partnered with a nationally recognized government compliance and ethics firm and is committed to adhering to the highest professional standards and always acting as a trustworthy source of our unique capabilities to our public and private contracting partners. In addition, we expect that all contractors and individuals who work with us in serving our public and private clients shall also adhere to high ethical business conduct standards. DRC has also established a very detailed ethics program with procedures to detect some of the obvious and easier ways that fraud occasionally occurs. For instance, typically, no DRC or subcontractor employees are allowed to participate in the measurement of trucks; this is entrusted to local government, state EMA and/or FEMA officials. DRC uses a detailed measurement documentation program to ensure the integrity of the haul and vehicle measurements and the safety and integrity of the vehicles and their drivers. DRC has a detailed and specific program of ticketing and reconciliation verification that, we believe, meets or exceeds the FEMA requirements and has instituted additional programs and procedures to ensure protection to the greatest possible extent against fraud, waste and/or abuse. Our Project Managers, Supervisors and Foremen are typically trained in fraud reduction and detection and report any suspected instances thereof to Project Managers, assigned internal auditors and/or counsel. All of our executives and employees deal honestly and fairly with our customers, suppliers, competitors, regulators and with each other. In doing business with federal, state and local governments we adhere to their rules and regulations that touch our work and our business conduct. SAFETY PROCEDURES Through careful planning, hazard recognition and control, safety indoctrination and training and rigorous attention to safety procedures, DRC ensures the health and safety or personnel at our work sites and the public adjacent to our work sites. 18 “In every occasion, DRC remained client oriented, responsive and delivered excellent service to Escambia County” – Keith Wilkins REP, Director of Community & Environmental Department, Escambia County, Florida DRC’s Corporate Safety Plan includes Safety Plans and Policies, an Accident Prevention Plan and a Substance Abuse Policy. It is the policy of this organization to provide and maintain work environments and procedures which will (1) safeguard public and Government personnel, property, materials, supplies, and equipment exposed to contractor operations and activities; (2) avoid interruptions of Government operations and delays in project completion dates; and (3) control costs in the performance of this contract. The key contractor responsibilities concerning safety include (1) providing all personnel a general safety and health indoctrination and a safety and health orientation/screening prior to the commencement of work (or any single phase of work); (2) the continuing instruction/monitoring of each contractor, subcontractor, supplier and employee in the safe operation of their specific area of responsibility using the proper tools and in accordance with the safety procedures and guidelines as outlined by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. A copy of DRC’s Corporate Safety Plan is available for review upon request. QUALITY CONTROL PLAN The purpose of the Quality Control Plan is to promote efficient and safe operations and a quality product. DRC’s approach to quality control consists of a series of tasks and processes tailored to suit the challenging circumstances facing Miami Shores Village in the wake of a disaster event. A copy of the Quality Control Plan is available for review upon request. EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE AND TRAINING As one of the leading disaster response companies in the United States, we have developed one of the most capable recovery teams in the nation. Our permanent staff members are NIMS- certified and fully knowledgeable of the FEMA reimbursement process, having insured that each and every client has received 100% reimbursement for all eligible disaster-related debris. All personnel records (management, supervisors, foremen and laborers) are reviewed prior to deployment of personnel, to ensure all personnel have current documentation of training for each position they could be assigned (in accordance with OSHA, EPA and other applicable regulations and standards). DRC, subcontractors, associates and contract reservist personnel have specialized training for emergency management and/or have attended multiple industry seminars and conferences. DRC, its subcontractors and/or personnel maintain membership in many professional organizations, including NEMA, APWA, SWANA and the Society of American Military Engineers. DRC and/or its’ affiliates, associates and/or subcontractors are licensed General Contractors in the states in which DRC performs disaster response services and are familiar with 19 USACE, FEMA and FHWA rules and regulations, the Stafford Act and 44CFR, as they pertain to emergency response, recovery and reimbursement. DRUG FREE WORKPLACE PROGRAM DRC is a community in which responsibilities and freedoms are governed by policies and codes of behavior, including penalties for violations of these standards as stated in your Employee Manual. DRC has a standard of conduct that prohibits the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by employees on DRC's site and/or client sites or as a part of DRC’s activities. DRC will impose disciplinary sanctions on employees ranging from educational and rehabilitation efforts up to and including expulsion or termination of employment and referral for prosecution for violations of the standards of conduct. Each situation will be look at on a case-by-case basis. It is the goal of DRC to maintain a drug-free workplace. To that end, and in the spirit of the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988, DRC has adopted the following policies: 1. The unlawful manufacture, possession, distribution, or use of controlled substances is prohibited in the workplace. 2.

Training sessions will address planning and reimbursement issues, as well as any other concerns of the Village, and are scheduled and led by Bryan Fike, DRC’s Director of Training. Typically, training sessions also include DRC consultants and reservist personnel who are former FEMA personnel or who are intimately familiar with FEMA and other government regulations. DRC’s Director of Training travels the Country providing Debris Management and Response Readiness training to various Jurisdictions. Workshops can be offered in the manner most suitable for the jurisdiction, such as: • Pre-Season Debris/Response Readiness Workshop • Scenario Based Tabletop Exercise • Debris Management Seminar • Debris Readiness Exercise • Discussion Based Debris Management Exercise • Disaster Debris Awareness Exercise When requested, DRC can offer a “Regional Debris Readiness Workshop” for smaller local government entities inviting neighboring jurisdictions for a combined training session. 21 RECENT WORK EXPERIENCE Hurricane Irma In early September 2017, Hurricane Irma made history as the most intense Atlantic hurricane to strike the United States since Katrina in 2005. Hurricane Irma made landfall on the Florida Keys as a category 4 storm and triggered one of the biggest blackouts in U.S. history leaving over 13 million people without power. DRC met with the Florida Department of Transportation prior to Hurricane Irma’s landfall and was pre-staged with Project Managers within 18 Counties including Taylor, Madison, Dixie, Levy, Gilchrist, Lafayette, Suwannee, Hamilton, Columbia, Union, Alachua, Bradford, Baker, Nassau, Duval, Clay, Putnam and St, Johns County. Following Irma, DRC simultaneously activated 8 PUSH contracts within these counties. Additionally, DRC provided food services to Palm Beach Gardens and Coconut Creek, prior to and after landfall. In the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, FEMA designated 48 counties within Florida as federal disaster areas. The majority of debris created by Hurricane Irma is vegetative debris. To date, DRC has removed over 27,000 hazardous trees within the Cities of Miami and Fort Lauderdale and has reduced over 650,000 cubic yards of vegetative debris, in both jurisdictions combined. DRC was activated in 26 jurisdictions simultaneously while managing 13 debris management sites. Hurricane Harvey In late August 2017, Hurricane Harvey hit southeast Texas as the first Category 4 hurricane to make landfall in the United States since Hurricane Charley in 2004. Cities on the Southeast Coast of Texas, such as Aransas Pass and Port Aransas, took the brunt of the initial impact of this tremendous storm. DRC provided food, cots and logistical needs to Jefferson County, the City of Pasadena, and the City of Port Arthur prior to landfall and in the initial aftermath of the storm. Seventy-two hours before the storm made landfall, DRC personnel were stationed in Aransas Pass working with officials to form a plan of action. Within 12 hours after the storm hit, DRC was mobilized. In a little over two months, DRC is 90% complete and the project is coming to a close. As the first major hurricane (Category 3 or above) to make landfall in the United States since 22 Hurricane Wilma in 2005, Hurricane Harvey poured more than 19 trillion gallons of rainwater on the State of Texas causing FEMA to designate 41 counties within Texas as federal disaster areas. According to FEMA, the Houston area experienced 51.88 inches of rain – the largest amount of rainwater to ever be recorded in the continental United States from a single storm. To date, DRC has recovered and reduced over 1,500,000 cubic yards within Harris County and the City of Houston. Additionally, DRC has removed over 15,000 hazardous trees and counting. DRC was activated in 17 jurisdictions following Hurricane Harvey including the City of Texas City, Port Neches, Nederland, Groves, Humble, Taylor Lake Village, Cleveland, Bellaire, Piney Point Village and Waller County. Additionally, simultaneously ran more than 16 debris management sites during this activation. 2016 Hurricane Matthew Hurricane Matthew was a very powerful, long-lived and deadly tropical cyclone which became the first Category 5 Atlantic hurricane since Hurricane Felix in 2007. Hurricane Matthew was the thirteenth named storm, fifth hurricane and second major hurricane of the active 2016 Atlantic hurricane season. Before making landfall, the storm weakened in intensity to a Category 3. Matthew wrought widespread destruction and catastrophic loss of life during its journey across the Western Atlantic leaving extensive damage in the coastal counties of the States of Florida, Georgia and the Carolina’s. In the aftermath of the storm, DRC was activated in over 10 jurisdictions on the East Coast of the United States. The minute the winds ceased, our team was in motion leading the way toward recovery in many of the most severely impacted cities. DRC’s initial response was in the City of St. Augustine, City of Daytona and the surrounding areas. In Florida, DRC has disposed of over 500,000 cubic yards in Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach, DeLand, Debary, Orange City, St. Augustine, and Sebastian. Operations began on October 7th in most locations and some are still operational. As Matthew moved up the east coast to the State of North Carolina, DRC was activated in New Hanover County, City of Wilmington, Pender County, Hyde County, Greene County, and North Topsail Beach. DRC used hand labor to comb North Topsail Beach, picking up, recycling, and or disposing of over 200,000 cubic yards of all generated debris. Additionally, DRC was activated in Chatham County by the Georgia Department of Transportation for debris removal and hazardous tree trimming and removal. 23 To date, DRC has removed approximately 20,000 hazardous trees and collected over 700,000 cubic yards of debris. 2016 Hurricane Hermine Carrying the designation “Florida's First Hurricane in more than a Decade,” Hurricane Hermine hit the state’s panhandle coast on Friday September 2nd and left a trail of damage and flooding in its wake. After receiving a Presidential “Major Disaster Declaration,” DRC was activated to provide debris removal services in two of the most severely impacted counties. Citrus County was impacted heavily as storm surge waters inundated hundreds of homes, generating more than a thousand tons of residential flood debris, and tens of thousands of cubic yards of vegetation which DRC successfully removed and disposed of in less than 30 days. Leon County, home of Florida’s capital city Tallahassee and one of the most severely impacted Counties in the state activated DRC’s contract in a secondary capacity to augment the level of service being provided by their primary provider. DRC assisted in successfully bringing the program to completion by removing and disposing of 14,214.85 cubic yards of debris. 2016 Louisiana Severe Flooding DR4277 The flood that affected South Louisiana in August of 2016 caused severe damage to thousands of homes and businesses. DRC Emergency Services mobilized contracts in East Baton Rouge Parish, Lafayette Parish, St. Martin Parish, Ascension Parish, Iberville Parish, Tangipahoa Parish and the Town of Baker La. This event required the use of over three hundred hauling vehicles collecting and processing and/or recycling over 2.5 million cubic yards of construction and demolition debris, over 250 tons of household hazardous waste and thousands of white goods. Many of the projects involved extended R.O.W. work requiring the use of R.O.E. documentation and procedures. In East Baton Rouge, two temporary Debris Management Sites (DMS) were opened and operated to compact and recycle C&D debris prior to haul out for final disposal. These sites operated with such efficiency that FEMA and the USACE filmed the operation to use in training sessions. 24 “Thanks to you all for being EXTREMELY helpful and responsive!!!” - Brant Gary, Director of Public Works, City of Bellaire Texas 2016 Multiple Severe Weather Events The severe weather in March resulted in flooding in all of Louisiana followed by April flooding in Texas. DRC responded to its standby customers in the City of Houston and Harris County, Texas while simultaneously working in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana. In Louisiana, the widespread flooding was mapped and prioritized from the air. DRC’s crews provided immediate relief to impacted residents by removing water-soaked construction and demolition debris quickly and efficiently. Electronic waste, household hazardous waste and white goods were collected and processed separately. Tornadoes ravaged Texas and North Carolina in late April and early May. DRC was called upon for debris collection, processing and disposal in Smith County, Texas via a TXDOT contract and in New Hanover, N.C. by way of a “standby” contract. 2016 Snow Storm Jonas The days of January 22nd through the 24th 2016 saw a blanket of snow across the Mid -Atlantic States primarily in areas unaccustomed and ill-prepared to deal with such massive quantities. Many areas experienced an accumulation in excess of three feet which caused a suspension of municipal services and massive cancellations of business operations. DRC’s response team established operations in Washington D.C. on the evening of the 22nd and began mobilizing equipment and manpower in assistance to the Maryland Highway Authority, the Maryland Department of General Services, Prince Georges County, Maryland, the City of Baltimore and Loudoun County Virginia. Operations continued twenty-four hours per day for ten days which required two operators per piece of equipment and around the clock management and support personnel. As a result of DRC’s quick response, a long term contract was secured with one of the tasking jurisdictions. 2015 Louisiana Storm Event Following the April 2015 event, DRC was activated in response to Straight line winds affecting the City/Parish of East Baton Rouge. In as little as 30 days, crews had scoured the city and returned it to its pristine state. All of the debris collected was quickly processed by grinding and ultimately recycled and used as fuel. DRC emergency Services also responded with adequate resources to Ascension Parish for an efficient and timely debris removal and recovery process. 2015 Texas Flood Event DRC was activated under its existing City of Houston “Standby” contract to collect approximately 250,000 cubic yards of mostly construction and demolition debris. Additionally, DRC was tasked with tracking this debris from “cradle to grave” with an emphasis on recycling. The City of Bellaire also activated DRC under an existing Standby contract in response to the historic floods in May of 2015. While the volume produced in Bellaire was not significant, DRC mobilized rapidly to return the city to a normal state. Additionally, DRC responded to the needs of the Texas Department of Transportation by performing tree and debris removal with the Houston District as required by the department. 25 2014 Ice Storms The winter of 2014 wreaked havoc on the eastern seaboard. DRC’s initial work began in Richmond, Virginia supporting the City with ice and snow removal on several occasions in the months of December and January. On February 10, 2014, Ice storm Pax impacted the States of North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. DRC Emergency Services’ contract with the South Carolina Department of Transportation was activated in preparation of the event and as soon as weather permitted, DRC’s crews began clearing roadways. This event damaged and destroyed millions of trees throughout the State of South Carolina. The South Carolina Department of Transportation contracted DRC to cut, remove and transport vegetative debris in 8 counties, totaling over 12,000 miles of roadway clearing and the trimming of over 225,000 trees. DRC managed and operated over 15 Debris Management Sites reducing and recycling over 1.5 million cubic yards of debris. Simultaneously, DRC’s contracts in North Carolina, were activated in New Hanover County, Pender County, the City of Wilmington for debris removal and reduction of approximately 400,000 cubic yards of debris. The winter of 2014 ended with a late ice storm in the first week of March in the State of North Carolina. In response to the damage caused by this storm, DRC was contracted by the City of Thomasville and the City of Archdale. 2013 Midwestern Tornado Outbreak Beginning on May 20, 2013 and lasting nearly a week, severe thunderstorms that produced numerous devastating tornadoes swept through Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri before moving on to the northeastern states. Widespread damage was reported, mainly throughout Oklahoma and Missouri. In response to these damaging tornadoes, DRC was contracted to perform debris removal and disaster recovery services in the City of Oklahoma City, Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma and St. Charles County, Missouri. 2012 Super Storm Sandy On October 29th of 2012, Super Storm Sandy made landfall over Northeastern United States, primarily affecting the States of New York and New Jersey. Its storm surge flooded streets, tunnels and subways and damaged and destroyed thousands of homes. DRC was hired to remove debris from the New York DOT roads on Long Island in Suffolk and Nassau Counties. In New Jersey, we were hired to clean up Piscataway. 26 2012 Hurricane Isaac On August 29th of 2012, Hurricane Isaac made landfall over Southeastern Louisiana. This slow moving storm spent nearly 48 hours pummeling the area with hurricane force winds, and also brought with it a significant storm surge. DRC was activated by 9 of our clients in Louisiana, including St. Charles Parish, New Orleans, East Baton Rouge Parish, St. John Parish, Jefferson Parish and the LADOTD. DRC responded to each of these activations immediately and independently. 2011 Tornado Outbreak In early April 2011, a severe weather event culminated in easily the most prolific, active month for tornados on record. These tornados followed an unprecedented outbreak that had already affected much of the South East. DRC was contracted by more than five separate entities to perform debris removal services for more than 25 separate contracts. Some of the entities included the North Carolina Department of Transportation, the Alabama Department of Transportation, the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, the City of Birmingham, USACE in Joplin, Missouri, as well as various other small cities and townships. 2011 FEMA Site Development Beginning in the later part of 2011, DRC broke ground on a Site Development project for the USACE in Minot, North Dakota. Thus far, work has consisted of developing a portion of the site, located in the northeast corner of Minot, for the installation of FEMA temporary group housing. This project has required constant coordination between several different agencies including FEMA, the USACE, and officials with the State of North Dakota as well as local utilities’ representatives. Topsoil stripping, grading, excavation, sanitary sewer and water line services, and electrical power and services are just a few examples of DRC’s responsibilities with this project. 27 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill DRC successfully performed in several contracts that were directly related to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico which flowed for three months in 2010. The company’s depth of knowledge with debris handling in ecologically sensitive environments was a significant asset and provided the ability to be intimately familiar with the placement, management, and removal of oil containment boom. Personnel in this company had a personal interest in protecting the Gulf Coast as they were among the affected residents. During this time, DRC was successfully classified as an Oil Spill Removal Organization (OSRO) by the United States Coast Guard. The company met several classifications which were listed on the OSRO Classification Matrix. Participation in this program allowed DRC to provide professionally recognized services to Escambia County, Florida as well as Plaquemines Parish, Terrebonne Parish, and Lafitte Parish, Louisiana. The Hurricane Season Of 2009 Despite the unusual lull in hurricane activity for the 2009 hurricane season, DRC remained very much involved in the disaster remediation industry. DRC performed services for approximately 23 contracts that ranged from various types of debris removal to structural and slab demolition. In January of 2009, DRC responded with services and resources in a project funded by the Texas GLO that included debris removal and vessel recovery. The Texas GLO requested assistance for the removal of marine debris that was generated as a result of Hurricane Ike in 2008. These services were performed in Trinity, Galveston, East and West Bay and have an approximate contractual value of $22,703,700.00. DRC also provided services for areas such as Kentucky and Arkansas that were ravaged by severe ice storms. These services are valued at approximately $11,157,132.02. Also included in DRC’s list of 2009 projects were residential demolition, structural and slab demolition, and barge removal. These contracts, performed for governmental agencies ranging from the Texas GLO to the town of North Topsail Beach, North Carolina, are all currently estimated at $43,285,257.75. Hurricanes Gustav and Ike While DRC was actively responding to fifteen separate Louisiana contracts, Hurricane Ike struck the Texas Coast near Galveston. Our response was immediate, already having project managers imbedded in Emergency Operation Centers in each of our contracted jurisdictions throughout the impacted area. In Galveston, DRC provided meals to Government workers for weeks by utilizing our mobile kitchen. Tidal surge flooded much of the Island Community. DRC established massive DMS sites where construction and demolition debris was hauled in and 28 separated into various categories (wood, metals, HHW, white goods, sheet rock, tires, batteries, oils etc.) and the process of recycling, compaction and reduction began. Surveys taken by Government officials showed that greater than ninety percent of all residents were more than satisfied with the efforts of DRC. In Houston, America’s fourth largest metropolitan area, DRC responded with more than two- thousand pieces of rolling stock and yellow iron. In just ninety days, DRC collected more than 5.6 million cubic yards of debris from the City of Houston alone. A mandate from Mayor Bill White called for recycling of all debris collected in the City. With a partnership with Allied Services, all the woody debris was reused or recycled. During this event, DRC established a record that stands today by collecting 440,000 cubic yards of debris in a single day. Work continued for the Texas General Land Office as DRC contracted to remove sunken vessels and debris from four major bays and waterways in the affected area. Side scan sonar was used to identify targets in advance and in combination with a well-designed implementation plan, the complete marine operation was concluded in just over thirty days. In total, DRC successfully staffed, financed and managed thirty nine virtually simultaneous contracts in Louisiana and Texas setting benchmarks for productivity and creative operating techniques along the way. Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma During 2005, DRC performed work from the devastation caused by Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma. The affected area spanned from the Florida Keys to Louisiana and all the way to Houston, Texas. In Louisiana, DRC performed work for the State that included a car and vessel removal, remediation, notification and recycling program. This program involved the removal of abandoned cars and vessels Statewide to aggregation sites operated by DRC. Protocol called for multiple legal notifications to the owners and the coordination with private insurance. Additionally, complete remediation was performed on each unit and ultimately the vehicles were recycled and auctioned with the proceeds reverting back to the State of Louisiana. The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development contracted with DRC to provide Debris Management for all of South Louisiana where more than thirty Parishes were affected. This program called for the establishment and operation of fifteen or more debris management sites where several million cubic yards of collected 29 “I cannot recommend them more highly. We certainly don’t relish the possibility of another difficult storm season, but know that DRC will be there to meet all challenges imposed.” – George Garrett, Sr. Director of Marine Resources and GIS Services, Monroe County, Florida debris was processed and prepared for recycling, waste to energy or disposal. In Plaquemines Parish Louisiana, DRC performed vast amounts of marine debris removal, silt removal from all of the Parish’s numerous drainage canals and rapid repair to its Government buildings. In New Orleans, DRC began a massive commercial and residential demolition project that is still operating today. While work was being performed in Louisiana, DRC’s operations in Florida included debris collection, processing, disposal and reuse in many major jurisdictions in South Florida including Miami and Miami Dade. In Monroe County Florida (Florida Keys), DRC performed debris removal which involved difficult task of siting and operating debris management sites in extreme environmentally sensitive locations. These temporary sites required lined portions in order to temporarily store HHW and other potentially hazardous substances. A separate contract called for the removal of sunken and abandoned vessels, and the processing and disposal of these retrieved vessels all in an ecologically sensitive area. Hurricanes Frances, Charley, Ivan and Jeanne During the 2004 Hurricane season, DRC responded to four sequential events (Frances, Charley, Ivan and Jeanne) by working 37 simultaneous, separate contracts. This work totaled over $150,000,000 and DRC recovered, processed and disposed of over 10,000,000 cubic yards of debris in a three and half month period. DRC also recovered, screened and restored tens of thousands of cubic yards of displaced sand and debris in a successful effort to restore 15 miles of Florida beaches destroyed in the aftermath of Hurricane Ivan. These projects spanned the entire State of Florida and required extreme quantities of manpower and equipment. In conjunction with these events, DRC operated a twenty four hour a day data processing center where tens of thousands of load tickets were continuously processed. Additionally, more than one hundred subcontractors provided services to DRC during these events including a significant number of local subcontractors as prescribed by the Robert T. Stafford Act. 30 DMS MANAGEMENT DRC has extensive experience managing staging and processing sites • In 2017, following Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, DRC ran twenty-nine debris management sites throughout Texas and Florida • In 2016 following the Louisiana Severe Flooding DR4277, two debris management sites were opened and operated in East Baton Rouge to compact and recycle C&D debris prior to haul out for final disposal.

One of the primary missions of any government agency is to protect lives; minimize the loss or degradation of resources; and continue, sustain, and restore operational capability after a disaster strikes in its area of responsibility. DRC Emergency Services, LLC by comprehensive planning support, along with vigorous training, can help local government reach a level of readiness that will allow the government to address these contingencies with confidence. We are committed to helping our clients understand the principals and all hazard aspects of Emergency Management. One of the basic principles of emergency management is that we can and should prepare for the hazard before it occurs and by doing so we are better postured to respond after the disaster- triggering event occurs. PREPARE Preparedness involves marshaling the resources needed to respond effectively as well as how to respond when an emergency or disaster occurs. These activities help save lives and minimize damage by preparing people to respond appropriately when an emergency is imminent or actually occurs. To respond properly, a jurisdiction must have a plan for response, trained personnel to respond, and necessary resources with which to respond. DRC can provide comprehensive employee training for plan implementation. This training may include disaster simulation and evaluation, as well as helping the agency modify their Emergency Management Plan (EMP) as needed. Training can also be used to test various plans such as the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, Continuity of Operations Plans, Field Operations Guides, etc. DRC is committed to providing the best training possible to its clients. Clients have made significant investments in equipping their first response units, but if the client, first responders and the public they serve have not prepared by training, then the investment will not pay off when it is needed most – during an actual event. ALERT When a potential storm arises, DRC personnel monitor the situation and a telephone cascade plan is initiated to alert the Regional Manager and other relevant personnel (see below). Local and area DRC offices are activated. 72 hours before impending impact, the Regional Manager makes contact with Miami Shores Village to discuss the maximum response requirements for a 24-hour, 48-hour and 72-hour response window, as well as potential TDSRS (if not pre-established in the contract). This information is reported to all vice presidents and senior project managers. PERSONNEL The Vice President (V.P.) is positioned at DRC headquarters. The V.P. directs and supervises all operational aspects of DRC and team partners in response to a Task Order. The V.P. serves as the primary contact between DRC and the client for all contracts and other communication. Upon Task Order, the V.P. initiates all corporate plans in fulfillment of contract requirements and activates all relevant departments, team partner relationships, subcontract relationships, and reservists. The V.P. supervises and directs mobilization of national corporate resources in OPERATIONS PLAN 57 response to Task Order until all performance targets are met and serves as corporate “responsible party” until all obligations of the contract are fulfilled. DRC’s Project/ Program Manager are responsible for overall management of day to day operations for a specific project. His duties primarily exist in the oversight of field operations although he serves as administrator of his supervisors and office personnel. All field supervisors, crew supervisors, QC managers, safety managers and site mangers report to the project manager throughout every day, 7 days per week. The project manager shall hold daily meetings with staff to discuss all debris mission issues at a central location that is also open to Miami Shores Village. Their duties also include the management of documentation and public relations for the specific project. The Operations Manager (O.M.) is a member of DRC Senior Management assigned as principal liaison to the client for each operation. The Operations Manager will henceforth be on call and available to respond to the point of contact 24 hours a day, 7 days a week throughout the life of the Task Order. The DRC Operations Manager will have full electronic linkage to the client via cell phone, satellite phone, internet, and/or two-way radios. The O.M. will have responsibility for successful completion of a Task Order and is responsible to the client as well as the DRC V.P. All Field Supervisors will be assigned sectors or zones within a specific debris area to manage. They will be responsible for supervising the daily activities of the collection crews working to remove debris. Those subcontractors/ crews within the sector or zone are to report directly to DRC’s field supervisor with any and all issues. If these issues require upper management decisions, then the supervisor is to report to the project manager immediately. The field supervisor communicates with the project manager at a minimum twice per day to update the project manager of the activity in their particular zone or sector. The field supervisor works “hand in hand” with the sector safety manager and quality control manager to ensure a safe and compliant operation in the field. He answers directly to the project manager but is instructed to take action if the safety or QC manager raises any safety concerns and has the authority to stop work. Daily and QC reporting is a primary and important function of the field supervisor; they are to fill out and submit daily reports to the project manager for all activities within that zone on a daily basis. Crew Supervisor will be responsible for individual or a group of crews working within a specific debris zone. The Supervisor will oversee the actual collection and loading of all debris along with the proper segregation and identification of various waste streams such as Vegetative, C&D, White goods and HHW. Supervisors are tasked with directing the individual crews within the zones and their specific zone assignments and ensuring safe traffic control with the aid of the QC manager and Safety Manager. The crew supervisor handles all zone maps and sub-zone maps with individual crews. Subcontractors will be assigned zones and crews will subsequently be assigned sub zones; crew supervisors shall distribute these crew maps and manage their production and boundaries within these zones. Site Managers shall be assigned to each and every site located within any debris mission to include TDSRS, staging sites and final disposal sites. The Site Managers will oversee and direct all unloading, reduction, traffic control, inspection tower issues, site equipment and trucks. Site 58 Managers report directly to the project manager, but also communicate with the crew and field supervisors. MOBILIZATION If the storm becomes a threat, 24-48 hours before impact, manpower and equipment are mobilized and staged in a safe location near the area of impact. Subcontractors are put on notice, and emergency communications are made available. Locations for a mobile command center are scouted and chosen based on factors such as proximity to major roads and severity of impact. Because DRC ES has partnered with major fuel companies and compiled a list of regional emergency diesel and gasoline suppliers, temporary shortages will not affect operations. Field maintenance/fuel personnel will prepare their assigned maintenance/fuel vehicles for deployment in accordance with the appropriate inventory and safety checklists. DRC personnel will ensure, that the command center, if utilized, contains all required equipment and supplies, that communications have had a full systems check and that all required equipment/supplies are in order prior to departure. Portable power supplies will also be safety inspected and load tested prior to departure. DRC over-the-road equipment transports and operators will initially conduct equipment transportation. Additional equipment transportation will be contracted, as needed, by over-the-road equipment transporters and operators through pre-established standing agreements. Compliance Measures DRC’s Safety Officer will conduct a safety briefing and safety equipment check prior to equipment operation to ensure compliance with the Corporate Accident Prevention Plan as part of the Corporate Safety Plan. Within three days of Task Order/Notice to Proceed, DRC will furnish Miami Shores Village with a site-specific Management/Operations plan, along with a Quality Control Plan and site-specific Safety Plan. All personnel records (management, supervisors, foremen and laborers) will be reviewed prior to deployment to ensure they have documentation of current training. TDSRS teams will also secure all necessary clearances, permits, and licenses to operate the site(s) and will submit Site Plans to Miami Shores Village complete with Site Specific Safety and/or Accident Prevention Plans, a Traffic Control Plan to properly manage site ingress and egress, a Dust Control Plan, and/or a Fire Prevention Plan, plus a complete Subcontracting Plan listing all subcontractors. Within 48-72 hours, TDSRS location(s) will be fully operational, complete with ingress and egress points, inspection towers, water runoff protection, and containment berms and/or geotextile. 59 RESPOND Responding to natural and man-made disasters and emergency clearing of debris is the core business of DRC ES and has been for twenty-seven years. We understand that a response is expected and needed immediately after the disaster occurs to help save lives and minimize loss. DEBRIS OPERATIONS PLAN Response Time DRC Emergency Services (DRC ES) proposes the following time frames in which services can be provided without unwarranted delay or interference. DRC will mobilize the appropriate number of personnel and equipment crews as required immediately upon request. Advance deployments will be strategically staged in advance of a predicted weather event. DRC will have management personnel within the Emergency Services Center 24 – 48 hours prior to the arrival of a disaster. If the disaster could not be predicted, DRC will have management personnel within the Emergency Services Center within 24 hours after the event. DRC will commence mobilization of equipment, operators, and laborers immediately upon receipt of a Task Order Notice to Proceed that shall meet all requirements of Miami Shores Village. • WITHIN 24 HOURS: DRC initiates Emergency Road Clearance (Push) operations with 15-20 crews or more as dictated by the events severity. • WITHIN 48 HOURS: When the initial assessment phase is complete DRC submits the required information such as site specific safety plan, insurance, bonds, quality control plan, subcontracting plan with specific subcontractors and goals, location of staging area, location of TDSRS, final disposal sites and all applicable licenses, permits, organizational structure etc. • WITHIN 72 HOURS: 50% Mobilization - Emergency Road Clearance is complete, TDSRS construction is underway, and DRC’s projected management staff, including subcontractors and consultants, will be operational. • WITHIN FIVE DAYS: 100% FULL MOBILIZATION – At full mobilization, the average daily production rate for load and haul will be approximately 10-20,000 cubic yards (again depending upon the severity of the event). The hauling activity normally last approximately 60 days and an additional 30 days for reduction; site closure and project close out. DRC Emergency Services proposes the following time frames in which services can be provided without unwarranted delay or interference: Project Mobilization Team DRC’s Project Mobilization Team of Project Managers and administrative staff will be on site within 12 hours of Task Order notification prior to or immediately following a disaster event. The Team may be air lifted to the designated location by company and/or subcontractor aircraft. Management vehicles will provide transportation for other company personnel. The Team will 60 then conduct an immediate disaster assessment in coordination with Miami Shores Village staff to begin the staging and deployment of equipment, crews and logistical support. DRC staff will establish the site location(s) in the disaster area for the temporary field office/s, communication unit, lay-down yard and support systems, including potential emergency base camp. Evaluation surveys will be conducted by ground teams as well as by aerial survey using helicopters. Rapid Deployment Crews The DRC full project administrative staff will be on site within 24 hours of Task Order/Notice to Proceed, and commence debris removal operations with five or more Rapid Deployment Crews. As necessary to open key access roads, crews of saw men and loaders with grapples will augment the Rapid Deployment Crews. The Project Mobilization team will then rapidly escalate crew strength to meet Miami Shores Village production rate targets. Operations Manager The Senior Management together with the Project Management Team will assign and provide a DRC Operations Manager to Miami Shores Village. The Operations Manager will henceforth be on call and available to respond to the Contracting Officer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week throughout the life of the Task Order. The DRC Operations Manager will have full electronic linkage to Village via cell phone, satellite phone, internet, and/or two-way radios. Operational Plans Within 3 days of Task Order, DRC will furnish the contracting officer with a Management/Operations plan specific to the Task Order, with Site Specific Safety Plan. DRC will also furnish the client with a complete Subcontracting Plan listing all subcontractors. Measurement Beginning during Mobilization, trucks and trailers used for the purpose of transporting debris will be measured by Miami Shores Village or representative thereof. DRC will provide appropriate measurement forms as specified by Miami Shores Village. MOBILIZATION-EMERGENCY DEBRIS ROAD CLEARANCE (PUSH) This operation is accomplished when time is of the essence, normally within the first 70 (plus or minus) hours after an event. Although this is a time critical operation, safety of personnel and the general public is paramount to a successful operation. Extreme caution must be exercised during this phase of the debris management operation to avoid downed live electrical wires and other such dangerous circumstances. Once this task is accomplished, or coinciding with the progress of this task, debris removal from public easements, property and rights-of-way begins. As tasked by Miami Shores Village, DRC will provide Emergency Road Clearance which involves the emergency clearing, cutting, tossing and/or pushing of debris from the primary transportation routes to the medians or sides of the public rights-of-way (ROW). Under direction of Miami Shores Village, DRC crews will work independently or in conjunction with Miami Shores Village crews to temporarily clear debris from pre-designated critical arteries to facilitate 61 the movement of emergency vehicles and other critical traffic in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. Only a single lane is usually cleared at first with the additional lanes being cleared according to the needs and requirements of the affected community. In addition, entrances and routes to hospitals and emergency service facilities, such as fire and police departments, are given priority during this emergency debris and fallen tree clearance period. The equipment utilized in this operation can include, but is not limited to: large rubber tired loaders with grapples or rakes; small bobcat type loaders to access narrow areas; and other specialized clearing equipment as may be required by local conditions. Additionally, service trucks for maintenance and/or fuel and vehicles for personnel transportation and supervision are required. Personnel, such as heavy equipment operators, truck drivers, and operators with chainsaws, general laborers with tools, flagmen, mechanics, supervisors, and project managers are usually required. Operations • Clear debris from roads in the order of and number of lanes as tasked by Miami Shores Village. • Clear debris from parking lots, areas of ingress and egress and any other area of hospitals, shelters, emergency operations center, etc. as tasked by Miami Shores Village. • Operators and hand crews will be instructed to perform in a workman like manner to prevent damage to salvageable and/or undamaged property and prevent personal injury to ensure compliance with the Corporate Accident Prevention Plan as part of the Corporate Safety Plan. • Attempt to make roadways and intersections as safe as possible from sight and traffic obstructions to ensure compliance with the Accident Prevention Plan and Site Specific Safety Plan. • All supervisors will maintain personnel and equipment hours on a per day basis. DEBRIS REMOVAL FROM PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAY Within 24 hours of Task Order, DRC will commence debris removal operations with multiple Debris Removal Crews. Debris Removal Crews will typically consist of three to five hauling vehicles of 100 to 150 cubic yard capacity with operators, one front end loader with operator, one foreman, and three laborers/flagmen. In instances where conditions allow, self-loading equipment of similar capacity will be utilized in order to maximize efficiency. As necessary or 62 directed by Miami Shores Village, crews will be augmented by equipment and personnel in order to gain hauling efficiency. MULTIPLE SCHEDULED PASSES In order to allow citizens and municipal agencies to return to their properties and bring debris to the right-of-way as recovery progresses, DRC ES recommends multiple, scheduled passes of each site, location, or area impacted by the disaster. Typically, three or four passes over a multiple month period are performed to ensure a quality and complete performance of the work required. DRC and Miami Shores Village will reach an agreement as to the number and schedule of passes will be reached as per FEMA concurrence and according to the volume of debris. Each location where debris collection is done shall be under the direction of a qualified supervisor. Electrical equipment or conductors in the vicinity shall be considered energized. Prior to collection operations, the employee shall consider: • Trees and the surrounding area for anything that may cause trouble when the trees are loaded. • Shape of the tree, the lean of the tree, and decayed or weak spots • Wind force • Location of people • Electrical hazards • Traffic control devices/personnel The work area shall be cleared to ensure safe working conditions. Brush and logs shall not be allowed to create a hazard at the work site. Logs and brush shall be securely loaded onto trucks in such a manner as not to obscure tail or brake lights and vision, or to overhang the side. PUBLIC NOTICES DRC will provide weekly public notices of the debris removal schedule. These notices will be advertised in local major newspapers and will be of sufficient size to be easily seen by readers. They will also be advertised on at least two local major radio stations which have markets in Miami Shores Village. These announcements will be aired a minimum of four (4) times daily during the period with peak listeners for a minimum of thirty (30) seconds each and be run a minimum of three (3) days per week. DRC understands that all public notices must be approved by Miami Shores Village prior to release. The notices will contain a description of the work, how debris should be placed on the right of way, what eligible debris is, and the schedule for removal. LOADING AND HAULING OPERATIONS All field supervisors shall ensure that all debris disposal-hauling operators are licensed and/or certified to operate required equipment. All debris disposal operators will be given area maps designating assignment/authorized areas of operations as well as transport routes designated and/or approved by the Government. All debris disposal haul operators shall visibly display colored placards provided by DRC and, if applicable, the Government. Any signs provided by the government will be displayed on both sides of the forward most section of the vehicle bed, unless otherwise directed by the government task order. Colored paper signs/passes will be 63 displayed in the driver’s side windshield of each vehicle. The color of the sign/pass is subject to change, without notice, to ensure quality control measures and regarding authority to exit work sites and enter disposal site(s). All debris disposal haul operators shall maintain the numbered debris hauling/transportation documentation/ verification form. Each form contains directions, which should be followed. All supervisors will be responsible to ensure that all employees utilizing and/or inputting information on the form are procedurally trained. It will be each supervisor’s responsibility to maintain a supply of the required number of forms. All debris disposal operators will maintain daily ticket/haul records to be turned into field supervisors, with copies of load tickets at close of business each day. All debris will be picked up and loaded into haul trucks in a safe and workman-like manner to ensure compliance with the Corporate Accident Prevention Plan as part of the Corporate Safety Plan. Safety will not be compromised. All crew foreman and field supervisors will be responsible to ensure a rapid and cost effective as possible operation. Hand crews, to ensure maximum loading and safe transport of material, will size all vegetative debris. All construction and demolition materials will be sized using heavy equipment to ensure maximum loading and safe transport of materials within EPA and DOT standards. Obvious hazardous materials will be dealt with in accordance with the Government task order and the Corporate Environmental Protection Plan and in compliance with the Corporate Accident Prevention Plan as part of the Corporate Safety Plan. Traffic control personnel, with appropriate traffic control safety equipment, will be stationed at each approach point of the work area to maintain traffic control and prevent personal injury to ensure compliance with the Corporate Accident Prevention Plan as part of the Corporate Safety Plan. Additional traffic control personnel will be stationed throughout the area, as needed, to ensure safe operations. This operation specifically entails the recovery and removal (pick-up and hauling) of all eligible debris from public easements, property and rights-of-way to designated TDSRS and/or directly to a final disposal site. Eligible debris is typically that debris which was either generated directly by the event or as a result of the event, and is in the public Right of Way and not on private property: 1. Vegetative debris (stumps, logs and limbs) 2. Construction and demolition (C&D) debris 3. Metallic debris 64 4. White goods (refrigerators, air conditioners, washers and dryers, etc.) 5. Electronics 6. Household Garbage 7. Hazardous and toxic wastes (HTW) (industrial, commercial and household) 8. Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) The equipment and personnel utilized for each operational phase will vary by the type, quantity and location and proposed disposal and/or reduction method of the debris. In all operations, regardless of type of debris, appropriate personal protective equipment for personnel is critical and will be employed. DRC will cover loads with tarpaulins to contain debris. Debris not defined as eligible by FEMA Publication 325 or State or Federal Disaster Specific Guidance or policies will not be loaded, hauled, or dumped under the contract unless written instructions are given to the DRC by the Village Debris Manager or his authorized representative. PRIVATE PROPERTY DEBRIS REMOVAL FEMA may extend public assistance to private property debris removal when it poses a threat to the public. When requested, DRC will initiate and manage a Right of Entry (ROE) program to remove debris on private property and/or demolish private structures that present a public safety hazard. Access must be granted by the property owner prior to entering their property, unless there is an immediate threat to the lives, health and safety of the Village’s citizens. DRC will not enter onto private property during the performance of this the contract unless specifically authorized by the Village Debris Manager or his authorized representative in writing. REMOVAL OF HAZARDOUS STUMPS Throughout its history, DRC has been activated on hundreds of contracts which require the removal of hazardous stumps. Typically the stump removal is included in the final pass of the ROW phase of the project. Stumps that are smaller than the minimum required to be billed under the stump line item will be hauled at the vegetative debris rate. For the stumps that qualify for billing under one of the stump line, the hazardous stump removal process begins by the monitoring firm or Village representative measuring the stump and issuing a ticket with the stump measurement. DRC will then remove the stump and haul it utilizing the same equipment used to haul the vegetative debris. If the stump is too large to be hauled in this manner, a dedicated stump removal crew with a larger piece of loading equipment (typically a rubber tired front end loader) and a flatbed trailer will be used to load and haul these large hazardous stumps. All proper work zone safety and traffic control will be used during this process. After extracting the hazardous stumps, DRC crews will backfill the holes with the proper soil type. A stump may be determined to be hazardous and eligible for Public Assistance grant funding as a per-unit cost for stump removal if it meets all of the following criteria: 65 • It has 50 percent or more of the root-ball exposed (less than 50 percent of the root-ball exposed should be flush cut); • It is greater than 24 inches in diameter, as measured 24 inches above the ground; • It is on improved public property or a public right-of-way; and • It poses an immediate threat to life, and public health and safety. HAZARDOUS TREE AND LIMB REMOVAL DRC Emergency Services has extensive experience in the removal of downed trees, felling damaged trees and clearing of vegetative debris. In all aspects of this work DRC ensures its employees work in a safe and efficient manner, utilizing the most appropriate equipment and best work practices. An eligibility determination shall be made by the jurisdiction or its representative using the following criteria: * A tree is considered “hazardous” if its condition was caused by the disaster; if it is an immediate threat to lives, public health and safety, or improved property; and if it is six inches in diameter or greater, when measured two feet from the ground; and one or more of the following criteria are met: • It has more than 50 percent of the crown damaged or destroyed. • It has a split trunk or broken branches that expose the heartwood. • It has fallen or been uprooted within a public use area. • It is leaning at an angle greater than 30 degrees. Trees determined by the jurisdiction to be hazardous and that have less than 50 percent of the root-ball exposed should be cut flush at the ground level. The cut portion of the tree will be included with regular vegetative debris. The eligible scope-of-work for a hazardous tree may include removing the leaning portion and cutting the stump to ground level. Right of way (ROW) removal of dangerous hanging limbs (hangers) Criteria for the removal of hangers will be determined by the jurisdiction using the following criteria: Limbs must be: • Greater than 2” in diameter • Still hanging in a tree and threatening a public-use area (trails, sidewalks, golf cart paths) • Located on improved public property All hazardous limbs in a tree should be cut at the same time, not in passes for particular sizes. DRC specialized equipment, such as Giraffes or circular telescoping trimming apparatus that is capable of making hundreds of cuts in a ten hour day. Downed trees will be removed utilizing a combination of ground crews and equipment, the exact mix of which will depend on the disposition of the debris material. For example, trees on roadways will first be moved to the right-of-way (ROW) with heavy equipment (e.g. front end loader, excavator, skid-steer loader) before being cut by a ground crew into portions which can be placed in self-loading knuckle-boom trucks. 66 Eligible trees off the ROW will be pulled towards the roadway with heavy equipment before being reduced to an appropriate size and placed in self-loading trucks. Standing or leaning damaged trees will be felled to the ground before reduction and loading, as described above. The felling of trees will be by certified fallers with chainsaws or with tree felling equipment (e.g. Hydro-Ax) and on some occasion Feller-bunchers, depending on location, access and size. Vegetative debris on the ground will be handled as described for downed trees, with equipment used to pile the debris on the ROW where it can be accessed by self-loading trucks for removal and disposal. DRC places safety above all else in all its work and all employees on site will be trained for their specific tasks. Appropriate personal protective and safety equipment (PPSE) will be worn at all times (e.g. head, hearing and hand protection) on the job site. Chainsaw operators shall be required to wear approved leg (chaps) and foot protection in addition to the mandatory PPSE. Only designated, qualified personnel shall operate machinery and mechanized equipment. Machinery or equipment shall not be operated in a manner that will endanger persons or property, nor shall the safe operating speeds or loads be exceeded. All machinery and equipment shall be inspected daily to ensure safe operating conditions: Certified personnel will conduct the daily inspections and tests. Tests shall be made at the beginning of each shift during which the equipment is found to be unsafe, or whenever a deficiency which affects the safe operation of equipment is observed, the equipment shall be immediately taken out of service and its use prohibited until unsafe conditions have been corrected. Records of tests and inspections shall be maintained at the site by the contractor, and shall be made available upon request of the designated authority, and shall become part of the project file. DRC Emergency Services, LLC and its subcontractors, own substantial trucks and specialized pieces of heavy equipment, attachments and support equipment specifically designed for emergency response. DRC and/or their subcontractors have national priority contracts with multiple national equipment leasing companies and subcontractors and/or independent contractors through which hundreds of trucks and/or pieces of heavy loading equipment are available to supplement DRC’s and/or the subcontractor’s fleets. MAJOR DEBRIS TYPES AND SPECIALIZED REQUIREMENTS All debris will be processed and segregated into the following five main categories: • Vegetative Debris Vegetative debris operations equipment may include, but is not limited to: rubber tired loaders with buckets, rakes or grapples; rubber tired excavators with grapples or thumbs; tele-handlers; track type loaders with rakes, grapples (to be utilized only under certain permitted conditions); trailer or truck mounted knuckle booms with grapples or clam 67 shells; self-loading trucks (knuckle boom with grapples or clam shells); farm type tractors with box blades, flat blades or brooms; bobcat type loaders; bucket trucks with 50' booms for hazardous tree and limb trimming (including Hanger and Leaners located on improved public property, overhanging and threatening a public use area or a possible threat to traffic); 30 ton or larger cranes to remove heavy stumps and or trunks; haul trucks ranging in size from 16 to 120 cubic yard capacity; roll-off dumpsters; flat-bed tractor trailers to transport equipment or stumps and oversized tree trunks, fuel and service trucks. Vegetative debris operations personnel requirements may include, but are not limited to, equipment operators; superintendents with trucks; foremen with trucks; operators with chainsaws; traffic control personnel; general laborers with tools; safety personnel; mechanics; hazardous materials technicians; documentation personnel; quality assurance personnel and project managers. • Construction and Demolition (C & D) Debris C&D debris operations may use the same equipment as for vegetative debris. Curbside separation by the contractor and public is important to ensure proper segregation of vegetative and C&D debris and to segregate any hazardous and/or household hazardous waste. A debris pick-up and haul operation that is primarily focused on C&D debris may also require equipment such as: D-6 or larger dozers; track-type excavators with impact hammers, electromagnets and/or concrete shears and/or grapples and other specialized equipment to segregate or prepare the debris for transport. The personnel requirements for C&D debris operations are similar, if not identical, to those of vegetative debris operations. DRC and its subcontractors own or have access to the equipment required for these services, including front-end loaders, excavators, rubber-tired backhoes, most with grapples, knuckle boom loaders, dump trucks, dump trailers and service trucks. • Metallic Debris and White Goods White goods can present a difficult dilemma to the recovery efforts. If white goods contain Freon, the Freon must be removed before it is accidentally released into the air in violation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations. Typically, white goods are moved to TDSRS prior to Freon removal so the removal activities can be more effectively monitored and thoroughly controlled. Freon is then removed by a licensed Freon recycler and the white goods are crushed or shredded in the recycling program. White goods recovery (pick-up and haul), with the exception of white goods requiring Freon recovery, is treated and accomplished as though it were either C&D debris or recyclable debris, dependent upon the final disposal source. Each Freon containing piece of white goods should be hand or mechanically loaded in such a way as to not allow crushing of the Freon lines or premature release of the Freon. Equipment and personnel would also be treated as a C&D debris or recyclable debris operation, dependent upon the final disposal source. DRC has extensive experience with white goods and Freon recovery. DRC recovered, shred and removed an estimated 80,000 pieces of white goods in one major storm alone. 68 Removal of Freon, chemicals, food, and/or fluids from white goods will be accomplished only by properly licensed and credentialed personnel. • Household Hazardous Waste and Hazardous Toxic Waste Hazardous and toxic waste (HTW and HHW) is a special operational aspect that must be accomplished with very precise, pre-established standards and regulations. Safety to the workers, government employees and the citizens of the area is paramount. With this in mind, DRC works with its specialized subcontractors to establish and implement proper handling procedures for HTW and HHW, including household hazardous waste, which, after a disaster, may become concentrated and no longer considered de minimis. These procedures include the segregation and removal of HTW and HHW from the debris stream at the curbside, prior to the recovery of other debris and sorting and additional recovery of HTW and HHW within each TDSRS. Recovered HTW and HHW is removed to a proper disposal site or temporarily stored in the HTW and HHW disposal areas constructed within each TDSRS as required. DRC will set up a lined containment area and separate any Household Hazardous Waste inadvertently delivered to a debris management site and will be responsible for the removal and disposal of this hazardous material. Commercial and industrial hazardous waste such as chemicals, gas containers, transformers, and any other form of hazardous or toxic matter will also be set aside for collection and disposal. HTW must be collected, handled and disposed of by specially trained HAZMAT technicians. In addition, DRC may utilize national or regional firms who are fully licensed and accredited to manage, handle and dispose of HTW. These firms may be utilized by DRC and/or DRC Environmental, Inc. for professional and immediate HTW recovery support on an emergency basis. • Asbestos Containing Materials Known or suspect asbestos containing material will be segregated from other debris and handled only by licensed and certified asbestos contractor/supervisors, of which DRC has several on staff. ACMs will be encapsulated for hauling, in accordance with OSHA and EPA regulations, and brought directly to an asbestos accepting disposal facility. All special wastes will be handled according to the removal and disposal specifications of Miami Shores Village, and will conform to all local, state, and federal environmental, legal, and transportation regulations and will be performed only by licensed, certified, and otherwise properly credentialed personnel and/or subcontractors. 69 TEMPORARY DEBRIS STORAGE AND REDUCTION SITE OPERATIONS Staging Within 24 hours of Task Order, personnel and equipment will be deployed to establish a TDSRS at locations identified in conjunction with Miami Shores Village. The operation may include, but is not limited to the building of roads, erecting of fences, construction of containment areas, and placement of inspection towers. At minimum, the TDSRS equipment and crew may consist of: Air Curtain Incinerator, one trackhoe, two dozers, two towers, five 16-20 cubic yard dump trucks, one rubber tired loader, one water truck, one motor grader, tub grinder, one site manager, one-night manager, eight equipment operators, two supervisors, five laborers, light plants, and possibly a HTW containment systems. DRC shall provide all specified equipment, operators, and laborers for TDSRS management, debris reduction operations, and provision of an Automated Debris Management System. TDSRS teams will also secure all necessary clearances, permits, and licenses to operate the site(s) and will submit Site Plans to Miami Shores Village complete with Site Specific Safety and/or Accident Prevention Plans, a Traffic Control Plan to properly manage site ingress and egress, a Dust Control Plan, and/or a Fire Prevention Plan. Within 48-72 hours, TDSRS location(s) will be fully operational complete with ingress and egress points, inspection towers, water runoff protection, and containment berms and/or geotextile The inspection of every load, in and out, is critical to the documentation of the overall process. The TDSRS inspection towers provide a location for load verification and documentation programs of all incoming and outgoing debris. Once documented, all debris is processed in accordance with applicable local, state and federal rules, standards, and regulations. Maintenance/Fuel Vehicles and Personnel Maintenance/fuel vehicles will be assigned and manned as needed to provide an adequate supply of fuel to maintain equipment operations. Maintenance/fuel vehicles will be assigned and manned as needed to provide all required field maintenance. 70 Site Safety Plan The following information will be utilized to create a location specific site management plan and site safety plan. • Site Access - Separate points of ingress and egress should be established if possible. Temporary acceleration and deceleration lanes should be established adjacent to the primary road leading to and from site access points, approved by Miami Shores Village. All temporary roads leading to and through the debris-staging site should be constructed and maintained for all weather use. • Inspection Towers - Inspection towers shall be constructed to facilitate observation and quantification of debris hauled for storage at debris staging sites. No less than two inspections towers should be utilized at each debris-staging site. One tower at point of ingress for use by company inspector and Government inspector, one tower at the point of egress to ensure all debris hauling trucks are in fact empty upon leaving the site, one tower may be utilized if ingress and egress point is the same. The egress tower shall be manned by at least a representative of DRC. • Traffic Controls - Traffic control personnel, with appropriate traffic control safety equipment, will be stationed at the ingress observation tower to maintain vehicular and pedestrian traffic control. Additional traffic control personnel will be stationed throughout the site, as needed, to enforce proper dumping and prevent personal injury to ensure compliance with the Corporate Accident Prevention Plan as part of the Corporate Safety Plan. • Clearing And Grading - Clearing and grading of debris staging sites will be accomplished, to the level required, in accordance with the site management plan and task order from Miami Shores Village. • Environmental Protection – DRC’s “Environmental Protection Plan” will be followed to ensure compliance with required standards (Clean Water Act, Storm Water Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, Superfund Amendments, Reauthorization 71 Act and others). The plan outlines procedures concerning erosion control, hazardous and toxic wastes and dust and smoke control and is available for review upon request. DEBRIS STORAGE AREA Debris will be segregated into 5 main areas of concern as follows unless otherwise instructed by the Government: • Vegetative debris - Vegetative debris will be cleaned of C&D debris to the extent possible to facilitate compliance with requirements for reduction of vegetative debris. • Construction and Demolition (C&D) Debris - C&D debris will be dampened prior to dumping and periodically as needed, to comply with Local, State and Federal EPA standards. • Recyclable/salvage - Recyclable/salvageable materials will be stock piled in accordance with Government task order. • White goods - White goods will be stock piled in accordance with Government task order. • Hazardous and/or toxic wastes (HTW) - HTW will be segregated and stored in a Government approved containment area. All site personnel will receive a safety briefing regarding operations involving HTW to prevent personal injury and ensure compliance with the Corporate Accident Prevention Plan as part of the Corporate Safety Plan. HTW containment site perimeter will be posted and secured for personnel safety. DEBRIS REDUCTION METHODS Grinding and/or Chipping Operations Grinding/Chipping is DRC’s preferred debris reduction method, as it encourages resource conservation through the salvage of wood chips for renewable energy. All vegetative debris will be reduced through grinding and/or chipping, rather than by burning operations. Although this operation is preferred for environmental purposes, however, it is the most time consuming and costly reduction method due to material handling, hauling and disposal costs after grinding and/or chipping operations have been accomplished. Grinding and/or chipping operations of C&D materials are prohibited by and within numerous jurisdictions. Grinding and/or chipping operations will be accomplished on the type of debris (vegetative and/or C&D) as directed by government task order. Grinding and/or chipping of vegetative debris will be accomplished on the piles of vegetative debris as set out below. Vegetative debris will be placed into two separate piles. The first pile will be the dumping point until a sufficient quantity has been accumulated to commence a continuous reduction operation. The second pile will be started and accumulated until the reduction of the first pile has been completed at which time dumping of vegetative debris on the second pile will cease and the first pile will be replenished. This rotation will continue until reduction is complete. 72 Open Air Burning Open air burning of disaster related debris is prohibited within numerous jurisdictions. Open air burning will be accomplished on vegetative debris and/or clean woody debris only when directed by government task order. Under no circumstance will open air burning be conducted on C&D debris that is known, considered or suspected, by owner or DRC, to contain environmental/health hazardous materials (i.e. asbestos, arsenic, etc.). All appropriate fire protection measures will be established and maintained in accordance with the site management plan, site safety plan and the government task order. All personnel involved in open air burning operations will receive safety training pertaining to this to ensure compliance with the Corporate Accident Prevention Plan as part of the Corporate Safety Plan. Open air burning will be conducted above ground level. No open air burning will be conducted within 1000 feet of a structure or within 100 feet of the debris pile. An area of not less than 100 feet surrounding each burn site will be cleared of all combustible materials and marked to delineate the area as restricted. Air Curtain Burning This method of burning will be used for reduction on vegetative debris and clean woody debris only, unless otherwise directed by government task order. Under no circumstance will air curtain burning be conducted on C&D debris that is known, considered or suspected, by owner or DRC, to contain environmental/health hazardous materials. All appropriate fire protection measures will be established and maintained in accordance with the site management plan, site safety plan and the government task order. All personnel involved in air curtain burning operations will receive safety training pertaining to this to ensure compliance with the Corporate Accident Prevention Plan as part of the Corporate Safety Plan. Air curtain burning will be conducted below ground level in a below ground pit, and above ground when geographically necessary. If above ground burning is required it will be conducted in an approved container suitable for the operation. If a below ground pit is used it shall be at least 8 feet, and no more than 20 feet, in depth and will be no wider than 1.1 times the width of the air curtain nozzle and no longer than 10-12 feet (15 feet maximum). No air curtain burning will be conducted within 1000 feet of a structure or within 100 feet of the debris pile. An area of not less than 100 feet surrounding each burn site will be cleared of all combustible materials and marked to delineate the area as restricted. All burning will be accomplished as set out in the US Army Corps of Engineers “DISASTER GUIDEBOOK.” Ash Disposal Area At the end of each burning cycle, the ash residue from the burning operations shall be removed from the burning area and placed in a pre-identified Ash Disposal Area. The burning operations personnel will use this area to temporarily store the ash material prior to final disposal. Ash residue will be tested in accordance with the soil testing procedures in DRC’s Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) to determine if there is a need to install a ground-water protection barrier in the Ash Disposal Area. Should a liner be required, an impervious layer of clay and/or limestone should be utilized to protect the aquifer (ground water) from potential contamination. Control of dust produced as a result of handling and/or storage of ash residue will be accomplished in accordance with the appropriate requirements of the EPP. Once the ash residue has reached a quantity requiring disposal, samples of the ash will be taken and examined in accordance with the EPP to establish the requirements for disposal (Class I Subtitle D Landfill vs. Class III Landfill vs. agricultural recycling techniques). 73 FINAL DEBRIS DISPOSAL DRCES normally conducts the final disposal of all debris, reduced debris, ash residue and other products of the debris management process in accordance with the applicable Federal, State and local laws, standards and regulations. The identification and acquiring of the final disposal locations will be at the direction of the contracting officials, with DRCES assistance if requested. Final disposal locations can vary from Class I to Class III landfills, to the above mentioned after- market locations (metal recyclers, municipal recycling facilities, mulching operations, mulch incineration programs, co-generation plants etc.) DRCEs and the government’s inspectors assigned to the final disposal site will maintain disposal records and documentation during the entire disposal process. Permitted Disposal Facility North Dade County Landfill 21500 NW 47 Ave Miami, FL 33055 RECYCLING STRATEGIES Vegetative Debris: Vegetative debris such as trees, stumps, brush, and leaf and yard waste make up the largest portion of the debris produced during tornadoes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Vegetative debris can be collected, stockpiled, and processed to the specifications of a mulch or boiler fuel product. Although some local governments have purchased wood processing equipment, others find it more cost effective to contract out the services. Aggregates: Large amounts of aggregate debris such as asphalt pavement and concrete may result from the destruction of roadways during disasters. These materials can be collected, stockpiled, and processed to the specifications for road base aggregate or solid fill material. Construction and Demolition Debris: Another large component of disaster debris is the construction and demolition (C&D) material that results from the destruction of homes, commercial and non-commercial buildings, and other structures. The materials produced from these sources may include wood, aggregates, metals, gypsum, plastics, and other miscellaneous components. These materials can be managed by using existing recycling facilities, and supplemented by establishing temporary C&D processing sites in areas where adequate recycling infrastructure does not exist. White Goods and E-waste: Electronic waste is devices or components thereof that contain one or more circuit boards and are used primarily for data transfer or storage, communication, or entertainment purposes. Televisions, computer monitors, DVD players, video cameras, fax and copy machines, video game consoles, radios, cell phones, etc. Electronics contain a hodgepodge of metals and materials that can be dangerous, given the large numbers that are likely to be thrown out in a hurricane's aftermath. Older electronics can contain lead, chromium, cadmium, mercury, nickel and zinc, all toxic to humans. However a number of materials like metals and plastics in electronics can be recycled, reducing pollution while saving energy and resources. Freon and metals recovered from white goods are thoroughly recyclable and marketable. 74 Revenue generated from the recycle of such wastes is typically returned to government entity following cost. Other innovative recycling strategies DRC will explore depending on the setting and scope of an event: Composting to produce valuable fines and to de-contaminated materials: Wood chips, contaminated sediments, and other organic debris may be blended into windrows for thermal composting, such as is used to recycle green waste in many cities, and to decontaminate hydrocarbon-affected soils in remedial actions. Windrow turners mix and oxygenate the organic materials. Other, more-compact composting methods are also available using containerized systems. The end result is humus, which may be used for wetlands restoration, soil building, and mulch. Segregation of bricks and aggregate for low-grade structural uses: Solid materials such as brick, fractured brick, cinder block, and aggregate may be segregated from the waste stream and used for structural applications such as erosion control, diversion features, landscape elements, and light-duty pavements. Recycling of glass and ceramics into durable fines: Bottles, windows, and wall elements may be ground into sand-like fines for structural applications as described above, and also for wetlands restoration and beach renewal. Recovery of copper and other metals: Copper wire and other metals may be separated and profitably recycled into new wires, signs, and light-duty structures, as was done by Florida Power and Light after Hurricane Andrew. Production of biofuels for distributed use: The organic fraction of the debris stream may be pulverized and fashioned into high-BTU pellets, or anaerobically digested into natural gas. The production and sale of refuse-derived energy is economically rewarded because renewable energy credits may be sold along with the energy produced. While this may involve an out-of- state company with significant experience in this area, the Subcommittee is mindful that a local project developer should remain involved. TEMPORARY DEBRIS STORAGE AND REDUCTION SITE CLOSEOUT Restoration is conducted during the closing of each TDSRS. The scope of remediation is determined during operation and closure, by terms of the land lease (if any), or government directive or task order. Remediation consists of final removal of all debris (including residual debris), removal and remediation of HTW, abatement of any safety and/or environmental concerns (to include environmental testing and/or monitoring, if required), the removal of temporary structures (including any inspection towers), grading and leveling, removal of roads and fencing, if appropriate, and potentially grassing or seeding of the site, if required, to documented pre-use condition. Documentation and Inspection - A narrative description shall be prepared for each site. Sketches and/or drawings (basic) shall be produced to illustrate the current condition of the site 75 and its contents, as well as content location. Still photographs or video will be taken of each site, both ground level and aerial, to additionally illustrate the pre-use condition of the site and its contents. Environmental Sampling to include: • Random soil samples, surface and sub-surface, may be taken and sealed in containers for comparison with post-use samples taken at the time of site closure when possible contamination is evident. • Prior to sealing these samples, a small portion of each sample will be field tested to determine the presence of contaminants prior to use of the site. • On-site and off-site samples will be taken of any water source. • Water source samples will be stored and tested using the criteria stated above. • Samples of both water and soil will be taken in accordance with the above standards after operations have ended (post use samples). • Post use samples and pre-use samples will be tested in the Corporate Laboratory and/or another Certified Laboratory to determine the presence of contaminants. Should contaminants be identified in the pre-use field test, a determination of whether or not a particular site or area of a site should be utilized will need to be made by DRC Senior Management and the client representative. Should contaminants be identified in post use test results that were not present in pre-use test results, remediation of the site or area of the site will be accomplished in accordance with Federal, State and local regulations as well as current industry standards. Storm debris management by DRC is subject to inspection by the governmental contracting entity and/or any Public Authority in accordance with generally accepted standards, to insure compliance with the contract and applicable local, state and federal laws. DRC will, at all times, provide the government access to all work sites and disposal areas and will cooperate completely with Government Inspectors. In addition, authorized representatives and agents of any participating Federal or state agency are encouraged to inspect all work and materials. DRC and the government shall have in place at the TDSRS, personnel to verify the contents and cubic yards of all vehicles entering the TDSRS. Records are maintained for each load entering the TDSRS, its cubic yardage is verified, and each vehicle leaving the TDSRS is viewed to verify that the contents have been emptied. DRC and the government monitor the material to determine that the load consists of eligible storm debris. DRC and the government have in place at the pickup site, personnel to verify the contents, location, date and time of the vehicles departing for the TDSRS and issuance of the load ticket to ensure the eligibility of the debris. Prior to use, DRC recommends that the government, including FEMA, if possible, establish and record the certified cubic yard capacity and perform a safety inspection of each haul vehicle. DRC recommends that all measurements be conducted by government personnel or independent third parties, and not DRC or the subcontractor. DRC has in the past provided disposal tickets, field inspection reports, and other data and/or forms sufficient to provide substantiation for Federal (FEMA, etc.) and State reimbursement to its government clients. DRC personnel and subcontractors have worked closely with various State Emergency Management Agencies, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other applicable State, local and Federal Agencies to insure that eligible debris collection and the data documenting is sufficient and appropriately addressed. 76 Operational Environmental Protection - All work performed at and/or in relation to a debris- staging site will be performed in a skilled and workman-like manner. All debris staging site operations shall be conducted in accordance with the Company’s Environmental Protection Plan and to ensure compliance with the Corporate Accident Prevention Plan as part of the Corporate Safety Plan. Closure Procedures - Pre-use inspection and documentation information shall be utilized as a guide to restore each site to pre-use condition. Removal Of Temporary Structures - All temporary structures such as fencing, inspection towers, temporary offices, sanitary facilities, etc., shall be removed from each site. Restoration Operations - Each site shall be graded, as required to return the topography to pre- use elevations, unless otherwise directed by Government task order. Each site will be restored to pre-use condition by seeding, fertilizing and laying of straw as well as replacement of agreed- upon shrubs and/or trees. Closure Documentation - The procedures described in Section F3 of this plan shall be followed for closure documentation. Removal of Debris - Debris residue, not taken to the appropriate disposal site during debris disposal operations, shall be collected, recorded and hauled to the appropriate disposal site. DRC or a licensed hazardous waste remediation company shall be retained to accomplish the removal of all hazardous and/or toxic waste from each site if not already accomplished under separate agreement by the Government. Final Inspection, Released and Acceptance of Government and/or Landowner - DRC’ Senior Management, the Supervisor responsible for a particular site, the Governments Representative and if applicable, the landowner shall constitute an inspection team. The Company Supervisor responsible for the applicable site shall have, for examination by all Inspection Team members, the documentation package to include pre-use and closure inspection documentation as well as all chronological documentation created during the operational period. After all inspection team members accept the post-closure condition of each site, a release and hold-harmless for the Company shall be signed by the Government and/or landowner, releasing DRC of any further responsibility and liability. ACCOUNTING AND DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT DRC’s invoicing procedure is as follows: • Load tickets are received, logged, and then scanned into DRC’s database system. Tickets are then entered and audited for accuracy. • Invoice is worked up along with the ticket data backup. • The reconciliation process then takes place with either the Monitoring Firm or the reconciliation contact with the municipality (if there isn’t a Monitoring Firm). • Once the invoice and ticket data has been 100% reconciled, the Monitoring Firm, or the reconciliation contact with the municipality, then recommends the invoice to FEMA for payment. 77 • Frequency: The invoicing is usually done on a weekly basis Required Documentation DRC ES shall submit daily progress and quality control reports to the governing entity for all activities. Each report would contain, at a minimum, the following information: • Letterhead with DRC name and contact information • Report Date • Location of completed work • Location of work for next day • Daily and cumulative hours for each piece of equipment and crew (Emergency Clearance) • List of roads that were cleared (Emergency Clearance) • Number of Crews (including number of trucks and loading equipment) • Daily and cumulative totals of debris removed, by category • Daily and cumulative totals of debris processed, to include method(s) of processing and disposal location(s) • Daily estimate of hazardous waste debris segregated, and cumulative amount of hazardous waste placed in the designated holding area • Number of hazardous trees and hanging limbs removed. • Problems encountered or anticipated Typically, Daily Reports are co-signed by the governing entity’s inspector to verify work performed. In addition, the governing entity receives an original copy of all load tickets and receives and verifies for co-signature, a Daily Reconciliation Sheet listing each load ticket, the truck number, crew number, street, truck volume, percent full, credited volume of debris removed and the total volume removed for the day. This Daily Reconciliation Sheet is typically verified by the governing entity and can become the invoicing document for the Contract. Documentation and Recovery Process Prior to the beginning of the hurricane season, DRC will meet with Miami Shores Village and the Debris Management Monitor to finalize and test the processes for inspection and documentation that are to be used during the response and recovery phase of debris removal. At all times, DRC will provide Miami Shores Village access to all work sites and disposal areas. DRC, Miami Shores Village and the Debris Management Monitor will have in place at the TDSRS personnel to verify and maintain records regarding the contents and cubic yards of the vehicles entering and leaving the TDSRS. The Debris Management Monitor will coordinate data recording and information management systems, including but not limited to: • Prepare detailed estimates and submit to FEMA for use in Project Worksheet preparation. • Implement and maintain a disaster debris management system linking load ticket and TDSRS information, including reconciliation and photographic documentation processes. • Provide daily, weekly or other periodic reports for Miami Shores Village managers and the Debris Management Monitor, noting work progress and 78 efficiency, current/revised estimates, project completion and other schedule forecasts/updates. DRC will provide the following assistance: • Recovery process documentation – create recovery process documentation plan • Maintain documentation of recovery process • Provide written and oral status reports as requested to Miami Shores Village Debris Management Monitor • Review documentation for accuracy and quantity • Assist in preparation of claim documentation DRC will provide all requested information to the Debris Management Monitor that is necessary for proper documentation and understands that copies of complete and accurate records are required for the receipt of federal funds and must be supplied to the Village. DRC will work closely with FEMA and other applicable State and Federal agencies to ensure that eligible debris collection and data documenting appropriately address concerns of the likely reimbursement agencies. PROMPT COMPLAINT RESOLUTION Within 24 hours of a damage report, an investigative team will be dispatched to determine the veracity and severity of the damage report. If validated, damages are repaired as quickly as physically possible, preferably commencing repairs on the day that the report is validated. If a subcontractor is involved, that subcontractor is asked to produce a plan to prevent further occurrences 79 EXPERIENCE WITH FEMA REIMBURSEMENT For the past 27 years, DRC has responded to emergency/disaster events for numerous government entities, almost all of which were under FEMA disaster declaration and were FEMA grant reimbursable. The maximum reimbursement rate was granted by FEMA to the customers for every event. Our permanent staff members are NIMS-certified and fully knowledgeable of the FEMA reimbursement process, having insured that each and every client has received 100% reimbursement for all eligible disaster-related debris. DRC can assist the jurisdiction in completing any and all forms necessary for reimbursements from state or federal agencies relating to eligible costs arising out of the disaster recovery effort. This may include, but is not limited to, the timely completion and submittal of reimbursement requests, preparation, and submittal of any and all necessary cost substantiations and preparing replies to any and all agency requests, inquiries or potential obligations, denials or de-obligations. COMPLETION WITHIN 180 DAYS DRC is cognizant of FEMA’s Alternate Funding mechanism and the advantages to accelerated debris removal resulting in increased Federal cost sharing. As such, DRC has provided rapid response to recent events such as the Winter Storm Pax where we provided over fifty million dollars of debris collection to the SCDOT in fewer than ninety days and in the Houston Texas floods of 2015 where the eighty percent of the work was performed in the first thirty days. Our description of the storms of 2004 above details DRC’s ability to collect, process and haul out to final disposal in excess of ten million cubic yards in one hundred days. Perhaps more importantly, DRC has extensive experience in serving the needs of the East Coast having responded to disasters in these areas over the past few years. DRC has thorough 80 knowledge of the State, active and potential debris sites, collection routes, sand beach management issues, and policies and procedures. Moreover, DRC has developed strong relationships with local partners and officials involved in cleanup efforts. FEMA REIMBURSEMENT Compliance with federal and state guidelines is critical for recovery operations conducted under the auspices of the Federal Public Assistance Program. The reference materials that establish these guidelines are the Debris Management Guide (FEMA), the Policy Digest (FEMA), the Public Assistance Guide Act (US Congress), and 44 C.F.R. (Code of Federal Regulations). Non-compliance a contractor or subcontractor can jeopardize the client’s reimbursement and, in extreme cases, result in an investigation by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG). DRC’s compliance with these federal guidelines is critical to our reputation. DRC has a 27 year history of 100 % maximum reimbursement for its clients. DRC Emergency Services strives to continuously stay ahead of changes in FEMA policy and guidance, especially that policy which may impact our clients. One such policy change took place in December of 2014, this being the implementation of the FEMA “Super Circular” otherwise known as Uniform Guidance, 2 C.F.R. 200 Procurement & Documentation. At DRC we took the time to read, discuss, and implement internal measures to be certain that our clients, or prospective clients, are on course to be fully compliant with this guidance. DRC carefully review scopes of service, terms of inclusion, evaluation, pricing models, and other key components for any items which may be called in to question following this recent guidance revision by FEMA. We see this as just another opportunity to assist the local government in their mission to attain full reimbursement for post-event activations and operations. Project Worksheet and Application Process The Project Worksheet (PW) is the FEMA document used to request funding for specific recovery projects. A properly formatted PW will fully detail the necessity of a project, the scope of the project and will accurately forecast the costs associated with the project. Small projects (equal to or less than $120,000 after 2/24/2014) are written by local governments and large projects (greater than $120,000 after 2/24/2014) are written by FEMA. Debris removal projects, which make up the majority of all Public Assistance grants, are almost exclusively large projects. The FEMA PA Project Specialist (formerly known as the Project Officer) assigned to the local government will begin the process of gathering data and writing the debris removal PW within days or weeks after the event. Several sets of critical data are necessary to complete the PW. • Accurate estimates of the total amount of debris to be collected • Accurate estimates of the total cost of the debris removal project • Accurate database tracking of work completed to date • Invoices submitted by and payments to the contractor 81 DRC can assist the Government entity in completing any and all forms necessary for reimbursements from state or federal agencies relating to eligible costs arising out of the disaster recovery effort. This may include, but is not limited to, the timely completion and submittal of reimbursement requests, preparation, and submittal of any and all necessary cost substantiations and preparing replies to any and all agency requests, inquiries or potential obligations, denials or de-obligations. Initial Damage Estimate In order to accurately populate information necessary for the FEMA project worksheet DRC routinely conducts initial damage estimates with the help of its municipal client. These assessments are calculated by taking a representative sample (typically four linear miles in various parts of the jurisdiction) and calculating the amount of debris within those sectors. This amount of debris is multiplied by the number of total street miles within the jurisdiction to determine preliminary damage (expressed in cubic yards). To reinforce this estimate it is also typical for DRC to provide a helicopter to determine if any anomalies are present within the affected jurisdiction. Immediate Needs Funding The purpose of Immediate Needs Funding is to provide applicants with funding for urgent needs, without burdening them with extensive paperwork during peak crisis operations. The maximum amount of INF an applicant can receive is 50% of the emergency work estimated in the Preliminary Damage Assessment (PDA). Eligible emergency work typically includes debris removal, emergency protective measures, and removal of health and safety hazards. INF is not intended for emergency work projects with Special Considerations or projects that will take more than 60 days to complete. INF is designated for emergency work costs such as overtime payroll, equipment expenses, temporary employee payroll, materials purchased, equipment rented, and contractor payments. INF is placed in the State’s account within days of the disaster declaration and ensures that the immediate needs of the applicant are met. DRC has helped numerous applicants, over its 27 year history, obtain INF. FEMA Technical Management Training Our permanent staff members are NIMS-certified and fully knowledgeable of the FEMA reimbursement process, having insured that each and every client has received 100% reimbursement for all eligible disaster-related debris. DRC can assist the jurisdiction in completing any and all forms necessary for reimbursements from state or federal agencies relating to eligible costs arising out of the disaster recovery effort. This may include, but is not limited to, the timely completion and submittal of reimbursement requests, preparation, and submittal of any and all necessary cost substantiations and preparing replies to any and all agency requests, inquiries or potential obligations, denials or de-obligations. DRC and/or DRC have on staff, or available through its extensive Reservist/Consultant Personnel Database, qualified personnel who are available to assist any client with Exercises, Plans Formulation, or Training of Government personnel on eligibility issues, reimbursement procedures, documentation, etc. DRC will provide regular annual or more frequent training and feedback sessions to the government as a service at no additional cost to the Village. Training sessions are scheduled and led by the Director of Training and will 82 address planning and reimbursement issues as well as any other concerns of the Village. Typically, training sessions also include DRC consultant and reservist personnel who are former FEMA personnel or who are intimately familiar with FEMA and other government regulations. 83 Please see the following attached: • Cost Proposal Form • Additional Pricing • Respondent’s Certification • Sworn Statement Pursuant to Section 287.133 (3) (a), Florida Statues, on Public Entity Crimes • Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Disability Nondiscrimination Statement • Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form • Vendor Application • Certification Regarding Lobbying COST PROPOSAL 84 3.

DRC’s subcontractors are evaluated on many levels, including past performance, equipment and personnel availability, mobilization timeframes, insurance, and cost. The use of local resources is one of the most important aspects of successful disaster recovery operations. DRC is committed to ensuring that any emergency response business activity is shared by the entire community. That is why we have developed a vast network of subcontractors that are uniquely qualified to successfully meet any and all operational requirements envisioned under this RFP. Throughout its history, DRC has maintained strong relationships with local vendors and subcontractors. We pride ourselves on facilitating local involvement during recovery efforts and encourage local knowledge and experience whenever possible. As such, DRC has worked with thousands of subcontractors over our history including small and large subcontractors, DBE, MBE, WBE, HUB Zone, 8(a), and VOSB (including Service-Disabled VOSB) contractors. DRC has established nationally recognized procedures for community outreach as discussed below in our “Local S/M/WBE Resource Program.” Local S/M/WBE Resource Program DRC reaches out to local subcontractors and small, minority and women-owned business enterprises (S/M/WBE) using a variety of sources. Although DRC maintains current, active subcontractor lists, we also have experience utilizing such sources as governmental databases, local, regional and national SBE compliance departments, client and vendor references and direct mail community outreach. Upon receipt of Notice of Award, ahead of a predicted weather event or annually for contingency contracts, DRC will make contact with local governments and SBE Resource offices to schedule an informational workshop for potential vendors and businesses. The DRC technical assistance workshops not only assist companies with identifying potential contract opportunities, but also assist those interested with “teaming”. The workshops provide “hands on” technical assistance to companies ranging from individuals owning dump trucks and loading equipment to office supply companies and small printers wishing to provide goods and services. This process matches S/M/WBE contractors with other companies in order to strengthen their competitive position and package of goods and services offered. DRC is committed to ensuring that local companies are made aware of all potential contracting and partnership opportunities. A direct mail program may be conducted in order to target potential companies and minority business organizations that are listed with the Office of Minority and Women Business Enterprise. The mailer will provide information as well as an 800 number for interested individuals and companies with bi-lingual assistance available when necessary. Subcontractors can also log on to www.drcusa.com to upload their experience, qualifications and certifications for inclusion in our subcontractor database. MINORITY PARTICIPATION 96 From our extensive experience with subcontractors, DRC knows the importance of establishing strict guidelines for performance and safety standards. All subcontractors will be screened for qualifications and safety compliance prior to entering into a contract with DRC. Additionally, at the discretion of the contracting agency, all subcontractors will be approved prior to beginning work. Our sample Subcontractor Agreement details the scope of work and responsibilities of each subcontractor. The Subcontractor Agreement also commits the subcontractor to all governmental regulations and requirements. All subcontractor equipment will be inspected and properly maintained and all personnel certifications and safety courses will be on file and renewed or updated as needed. In addition to stringent qualifications standards, DRC requires the following summarized items from subcontractors: • Compliance with all DRC safety plans • Ability to meet liability and automobile insurance requirements (these may vary from contract to contract) • Compliance with governmental employment regulations, unemployment compensation and workman’s compensation laws • Completion of a subcontracting agreement specifying the scope of work, terms and conditions, pricing, liability requirements and any hold harmless agreements. Per the requirements of each awarded contract, DRC will meet or exceed project goals regarding small business participation. Rebuilding your community using local resources is the core mission of DRC. As such, DRC will continue to maintain a comprehensive list of qualified subcontractors ready for deployment should the need arise. Prompt Payment of SMWSDVBs In addition to occasionally assisting SMWSDVBs with operating startup costs, DRC has a 20 plus year history of paying subcontractors on a weekly basis. It is our intention to both facilitate the involvement of these subcontractors and ensure their economic viability and profitability. Utilization Monitoring As with previous practice, DRC intends to hire a SMWSDVB Facilitator/Monitor. This person will be tasked with the responsibility of recruitment and reporting. DRC views the existence of this person as crucial and has full intention to achieve the outlined goal for this contract. 97 AFFIRMATIVE ACTION/EQUAL OPPORTUNITY POLICY DRC is an equal employment opportunity employer. Employment decisions are based on merit and business need, and not on race, color, citizenship status, national origin, ancestry, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, creed, physical or mental disability, marital status, veteran status, political affiliation, or any other factor protected by law. DRC complies with the law regarding reasonable accommodation for handicapped and disabled employees. DRC’s President has issued the following policy: DRC is an Equal Opportunity Employer and recognizes the value of hiring a diverse group. Due to the nature of our work and the fact that we provide services worldwide, we find it necessary and advantageous to employ a number of persons from various countries who are of different races, religions and ethnic groups. Although our permanent work force is less than 50 employees, it is composed of a diverse population of men and women. In addition, we believe work force diversity provides a significant market advantage. It is the policy of DRC to comply with all the relevant and applicable provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). DRC will not discriminate against any qualified employee or job applicant with respect to any terms, privileges, or conditions of employment because of a person’s physical or mental disability. DRC will also make reasonable accommodation wherever necessary for all employees or applicants with disabilities, provided that the individual is otherwise qualified to safely perform the essential duties and assignments connected with the job and provided that any accommodations made do not impose an undue hardship on DRC. Equal employment opportunity notices are posted as required by law. Management is primarily responsible for seeing that DRC’s equal employment opportunity policies are implemented, but all members of the staff share in the responsibility for assuring that by their personal actions the policies are effective and apply uniformly to everyone. Any employee, including managers, involved in discriminatory practices will be subject to termination. 98
