TFR Enterprises Proposal„, IF.B. fold lscs, loc. DISASTER RESPONSE DIVISION 1. Oualifications of the Firm Disasters are unpredictable. Disasters can vary in size, scope and intensity. Yet given this inherent unpredictability, governments can take the necessary steps to ensure the safety and relief of their constituency. "TFR demonstrated knowledge of the work required, . provided the necessary equipment to perform the work and performed their work -in an expeditious manner.” Jeffrey. Callahan, Manager At TFR, we address the needs of our clients long before the Bonlder County, CO establishment of a relationship. Every project is different. Every state, county or city, desire and highlight different aspects of disaster relief and recovery that they deem MOST important. With this ever - changing landscape in mind, TFR continually stresses the proper due diligence and planning to fully comprehend the type of service that each client desires. We routinely review and criticize our operational and management plans to assure that we present the most practical, efficient structure to complete the project. TFR's knowledgeable management team retains over 55 years of experience responding to hurricanes, floods and other various disasters. What allows TFR to provide an expedient response? Pre - planning certainly encompasses a large portion of this service. In addition, TFR maintains a fleet of over a hundred (140 +) pieces of company -owned equipment pre - positioned across the Southeastern United States. By staging equipment directly outside the impact zone, TFR can respond within hours to immediately begin emergency road clearance services to provide a vital lifeline for federal, state and local emergency responders to assess damages. Furthermore, TFR can prep and construct a TDSR site for immediate acceptance of storm - generated debris in less than 24 hours. To fully augment our operational capacity and to aid the organization of relief efforts, Mobile Command Units can be deployed to enhance response and achieve greater coordination between parties. Concurrently, project teams scour the impacted area to quantify debris, deduce an overall damage estimate and adapt our preplan accordingly. TFR prepares for economic instability in the immediate aftermath of natural or man -made disasters by maintaining strong relationships with suppliers and organizing resources for dispatch. Additionally, TFR owns the necessary equipment to house and feed personnel temporarily as the local business community reacts and rebounds from such a disaster. Other initial and vital supplies, such as fuel, parts trailers, welders, wood, and other necessities, are brought from the home office to certify that work stoppages shall not occur due to inadequate logistics. However, the backbone of our logistical support team is our maintenance crew. TFR would not be capable of providing the timely, cost- effective service that we do without the knowledge and experience our maintenance crew retains. With a dedicated warehouse at the home office to two (2) traveling equipment trailers, the TFR maintenance crews ensure that our equipment is functioning safely and efficiently with limited downtime. We strive to foresee any potential encumbrances and take the appropriate actions to safeguard against such occurrences. Operationally, TFR manages on the principal of transparency. We always remain available to- answer- questions, address issues immediately, and submit reports on time. This is to the benefit of all parties W17'F -Rf.a. E0priscs, Inc. DISASTER RESPONSE DIVISION involved, as this is a team effort to respond to a major disaster. As safety and contract responsibility are the utmost priorities to the principals and officers of TFR, it is the policy of management to see that its employees and subcontractors conduct themselves with integrity and courtesy in the performance of their duties. Following a disaster event, there is an urgency to remediate the damage and return to normalcy as quickly as possible. The principals and officers of TFR firmly believe that this and price competitiveness can be achieved courteously and without sacrificing health, safety and contract integrity. TFR's Key Personnel TFR maintains a team that has been conducting debris removal, reduction and management projects for 27 years.

Operations Plan TFR Enterprises, Inc. Overview • TFR Enterprises, Inc. is a debris removal contractor, first incorporated in 1989 in the State of Tennessee, and actively participating in disaster recovery contracts nationwide since Hurricane Andrew in 1992. • May 2014, TFR was awarded two (5) year Advance Contracting Initiative (ACI) Single Award Task Order Contracts (SATOC) for Debris Management Services within the Southwestern and South Pacific Divisions under the USAGE. • TFR has successfully completed more than 150 disaster projects and all of our clients have received 100% of their eligible reimbursement. • TFR has NEVER defaulted on a contract, nor has any regulatory or license agency sanctions been imposed. • TFR owns more than 140 pieces of equipment that is primarily designed for use in debris removal operations. • In August 2016, . TFR responded to the flooding that impacted Louisiana and successfully completed debris hauling in District 61, District 3, and Iberia Parish simultaneously. • During Hurricane Ike, TFR supplied crews to assist the USACE contractor with the task of opening up Interstate Highway 45 between Houston and Galveston and the Galveston Beach Road 3005 so that other contractor and rescue /recovery crews could access the damaged area. This assistance was provided in addition to TFR's response and performance to 6 of its own prime contracts (which included two counties) removing in excess of 1,800,000 cubic yards of debris. • The 2005 Hurricane Season, which saw major damages from Hurricanes Dennis, Katrina, Rita and Wilma, resulted in TFR handling 6,000,000 cubic yards of debris within 180 days. • Federal Employer Identification Number: 72- 1149862 • DUNS Number: 08- 1346561 • E -Verify Number: 303767 • Single Project Bonding Capacity: $50,000,000 011ER. [Ble riset Inc. DISASTER RESPONSE DIVISION FEMA Compliance Team TFR personnel have conducted over 150+ federally funded projects, and as such, has gained invaluable experience and familiarity with the FEMA recording and reimbursement process conducted under the federal Public Assistance Program. With no turnover in our key personnel for the past five (5) years, our employees have been working as a cohesive team to confront FEMA issues and ensure the reimbursement of our clients for 27 years. Jennifer Frankovsky, our Director of Business Development, in conjunction with Tiffany Wilkes, Contract Compliance and Reconciliation Administrator, head our FEMA Compliance Team in any and all disaster - related projects. Our FEMA Compliance Team is deeply vetted in FEMA management and operational styles, and NEVER has TFR, or its officers, had a disputed claim for FEMA reimbursement. These individuals are very familiar with and aware of the federal guidelines for independence in accountability and reporting as well as recognizing that it cannot perform or assume the sovereign duties of the government officials. However, this does not preclude TFR from offering the following services to aid our clients in complying with the federal Public Assistance Program while seeking additional funding and grants for various Permanent Works Projects: • Provide extensive pre -event training sessions with review of previous submitted FEMA paperwork • Design appropriate cost tracking systems before approval of Project Worksheets is received • Assist our client in estimation of debris volumes by debris types and debris management costs for Preliminary Damage Assessments • Provide, review and confirm accuracy of supporting documentation (i.e. Truck Certifications, Load Tickets, Equipment Time Sheets, etc.) for the Project Worksheets to realize full reimbursement Emergency Response and Deployment Plan - Preliminary Planning Preparation is the be -all of good emergency management. As such, TFR offers annual on- site training and tabletop exercises for all clients wishing to participate. Usually lasting 4 to 5 hours, TFR conducts the training service in the months preceding Hurricane Season on simulated events developed by TFR. We offer this value -added service to clients to familiarize ourselves with key emergency management officials and local agencies designated to the project. TFR believes understanding the needs of the local officials allows us to tailor -make a debris management plan that best suits the community. In the past, TFR's key personnel have worked closely with many different "Monitoring/Consulting" firms which have been retained by the clients, and whose responsibility it is to provide expertise and guidance in the application of FEMA regulations and reimbursement, to provide the aforementioned services. Working together the client, and or its' designated representative, and TFR will develop a complete, full service debris management plan that anticipates encumbrances, highlights transparency, emphasizes expediency, and forces accuracy. The preparation and experience gained during our training exercises will position local officials to respond quicker and realize full FEMA reimbursement. Additionally, by identifying key elements, such as debris " IER. Notes, Inca DISASTER RESPONSE DIVISION management sites and staging locations, TFR can better rapidly mobilize to ensure an efficient response immediately following the storm. Debris Management Site Location and Testing One of the most important factors in rapid mobilization and debris removal is the identification, certification and preparation of the temporary debris management site. We cannot begin to remove debris from the rights of way until we have a place to take it. Therefore, it is critical that site identifications, approvals and preparation be addressed immediately after the disaster event. TFR is dedicated in assisting our clients in the selection and qualification of debris management sites. Identification and selection of appropriate debris sites are vital to the recovery process. TFR has assisted in locating suitable sites for temporary storage and reduction of debris for many of our clients. This is performed with careful attention to Federal and State regulations and requirements. In past planning sessions, advanced identification of possible temporary sites has been a priority topic. If potential sites can be identified prior to an event, some of the requirements to authorize the location for this use can be accomplished in advance of a disaster strike. Some of these procedures can include researching the historical information to ensure compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act and soil and water samples being collected to file with State Environmental Protection Agency. Identifying sites early will also aid the contractor in preparing a "site plan" to locate the most advantageous layouts and locations for ingress and degress, taking into consideration probable traffic patterns. Whenever possible, multiple sites should be identified in various locations of the municipality /jurisdiction in order to shorten the removal time of taking debris from rights of way and dumping at the temporary sites. Priorities of the Client When requested, TFR will assist in the establishment of emergency routes with a pivotal focus on immediate need facilities. TFR will work closely with the client to assist in the clearing of priority routes for certain immediate need facilities, including the client's EOC, government buildings, hospitals and FEMA Distribution Centers, to employ a rapid 70 -hour "Push" to secure the facility access. Following the establishment of emergency routes, TFR and client representatives will review maps and designated debris sites for debris collection. Our goal is to develop a master plan outline that addresses the priorities and requirements of the client and ensures the efficient allocation of resources to debris -ridden areas while emphasizing safety to our crews and the community. Additional Goals of the Preliminary Planning Meetings • Identify potential disaster threats by examining past disaster /debris issues in similar jurisdictions • Introduction of Project Management Team • Roles and responsibilities of key members of TFR • Roles and responsibilities of key member of the client's debris team • Review of overall Debris Management Plan of the client T.F.R. EnInprisnsr Inc. DISASTER RESPONSE DIVISION • Analyze pre -strike procedures, staging locations, mobilization plan and response times • Review 70 -hour "Push" efforts and immediate need facilities to the community • Examine hauling plan and sectoring information for efficient response • Debris Management Site Management Plan, including ideal locations, site plan and potential environmental issues • Participation goals for local, Disadvantaged Business Enterprises and vendor firms • Review of various public information strategies • Examine past projects and lessons learned Emergency Response and Deployment Plan - Imminent Event Beginning approximately three to five days from the event, TFR begins preparing its equipment and personnel deployment. Depending on the potential severity of the event, personnel and equipment support items are procured during this time (food, water, fuel, etc.). These items are critical to TFR's ability to be completely self - sufficient. Our Project Administrator will begin contacting subcontractors to ascertain the following information: • Availability to commit to TFR and the project • Insurance Policies • Current equipment and personnel ready to mobilize • Mobilization schedule • Plans to maintain complete self - sustainability Priority will be given to local subcontractors who meet TFR's standards, followed by subcontractors with which TFR has significant experience and trusts the standards of quality by which the subcontractor performs its operations. During this same time period, the Fleet Manger in the home office will begin calling National and Local Equipment Rental Dealers to identify available equipment on hand, such as Rubber Tired Front End Loaders, Skid Steer Loaders, Grapple attachments, Knuckleboom Loaders, Bucket Trucks, Vacuum Trucks, Water Tricks, Bulldozers, Portable Generators and Portable Toilets, to augment, if necessary, TFR owned equipment. Additionally, the Fleet Manager will begin procuring the necessary permits to transport the large equipment. Two to three days prior to landfall, members of the TFR management team, such as the Project Administrator, Operations Manager, and Project Manager will mobilize to the client to begin making final plan reviews, finalizing staging areas, make lodging arrangements, and begin preparing debris management site specific operational, safety, and environmental plans. Logistical arrangements for the positioning of the Emergency Push crews prior to landfall are finalized during this period. One day prior to landfall, Emergency Push Crews are mobilized to their predetermined positions. These crews are strategically placed so that they may arrive on the back side of the hurricane, as soon as safely possible, so as to begin opening critical roadways for the „,�►I F.B. ERIrpriscs, Inc. DISASTER RESPONSE DIVISION local emergency responders. The exact number of crews will be based upon the likely severity of the event, but will meet or exceed the client's standards. The TFR Operations Manager will be working with the client and will be with them throughout the event, riding out the event in the Emergency Operations Center if needed. Emergency Response and Deployment Plan -First 72 Hours During the first 24 hours following landfall, TFR's multi- faceted Emergency Response and Deployment Plan is fully activated. The Emergency Push Crews are opening critical roadways, as prioritized by the client. Equipment utilized during the "push" consists of rubber tired front -end loaders, bobcats, backhoes, and other equipment types. Safety is of utmost importance during this activity and coordination with h 1 1 t e oca power provider is critical, as downed power lines are a serious safety issue for these crews. The goals of the Emergency Push are: • Clear roadways according to the given priority schedule • Clear parking lots at critical facilities (police stations, hospitals, etc.) • Remove large piles or material that interfere with critical lines of sight • Maintain accurate time schedules and coordinate all activities with the client's force account labor so as to maximize the "70 operational hours” that may be reimbursed by FEMA prior to moving to unit rate billing. While these crews are working, many other tasks are simultaneously occurring. One of the most critical objectives during the first 24 hours is the completion of the initial damage assessment. The primary goals of this assessment are: • Determination of the affected area • Extent of the damage • Estimated amounts and types of debris • Optimal DMS locations Much work must be done during the first 24 hours to prepare the Debris Management Sites for debris management and reduction. This work consists of: Obtaining and Possessing Necessary Licenses and Permits • The Operations Manager or his designee will investigate the state and local statutory requirements needed to perform the work described in the pre - position planning in the affected areas and determine what permits are necessary to complete the work. Video and /or digital photographs of the site, before occupation, will be made for the record, in addition to any soil, water or other test documents. After acquiring all necessary permits and licenses, the Operations Manager and the Environmental Manager will then prepare copies of all necessary permits for delivery to our client's representatives. T.Q.R. ERIPPpises, loc. DISASTER RESPONSE DIVISION Submittal of Site Plan and Establish Field Offices and Equipment Staging Area 0 After the approval /assignment by clients' representatives of the DMS, the OM, the site manager and representatives of the client will make a physical review of the site. Within 12 hours of the location and inspection of the site, a final site plan will be submitted for approval. The Site Plan shall reflect:(1) access to the site (ingress, egress) (2) site preparation - clearing, erosion control and grading, (3) traffic control procedures, (4) safety, (5) segregation of debris, (6) location of ash disposal area, hazardous material containment area, contractor work area, and inspection tower, (7) location of vegetative debris dump, (8) location of Mixed Debris and C &D dump, (9) location of temporary sanitary facilities, (10) location of reduction operations including incineration operations, chipping operations, (11) location of any existing structures or sensitive areas requiring protection from smoke, dust, noise and with awareness to existing traffic conditions (12) location of dump area for debris hauled from the public or haulers other than TFR with traffic patterns reflected for this area. Tasks will then be assigned to construct and establish required elements of the site, such as the inspection tower, hazardous materials containment area, temporary fencing, etc. For the purpose of this RFP and for the general understanding of the layout offered by TFR, included is a general site plan utilized by TFR on previous projects and that directly addresses the uses outlined above. However, before these site plans can be formally submitted, the necessary soil and water samples will need to be taken, checked and filed with appropriate Government Agencies and maintained, on hand, at the TFR field office. The site plan will be reviewed and accepted by client representatives before the DMS begins accepting storm- generated debris. 0 rh,n n E F Vesetative Debris Stop Dlvcks Ash Pit& -- .� Afr Grftem Ivnverafprs - ma' Eu -mu foam Exdmim ( c &D \\ me��ls,onrer dhec[recydu6les a &® \ Debris A v �- Offices, Parking &Sanituy Dmnp &'fm narvund Ara E F Vesetative Debris Stop Dlvcks Ash Pit& -- .� Afr Grftem Ivnverafprs - ma' Eu -mu foam Exdmim Min. 3' additional height 4' high, '' /z" plywood walls i Treated 6 x 6, 10' ground -to -floor, anchored 2' into ground with concrete 0I.F.B. 111mises, INC.

Operationally, TFR is committed to the following: • 50% mobilization and certification of load and haul crews • At least one DMS will be operational and receiving debris • Emergency Push will be 66% complete Forty -Eight to Seventy -Two Hours Post -Event • 100% mobilization and certification of haul crews (if more than 150 units are required, 96 hours may be required) • Emergency Push is complete Emergency Response and Deployment Plan – Load and Haul Phase The first thirty days are of utmost importance in maximizing our client's FEMA reimbursement, particularly if they have elected to participate in the Public Assistance Program, as outlined in the PAPPG January 2016 publication. This program states that a Public Assistance Applicant may receive reimbursement of up to 85% of the costs incurred within the first 30 days, 80% of the costs incurred between days 30 and 90, and 75% of the costs incurred between days 90 and 180. TFR is committed to an aggressive mobilization and operational strategy that will maximize this reimbursement. Unless it is a major event, TFR's goal is to complete 75% of the load and haul within the first thirty days and be complete with the load and haul by day 60. Removal of Debris from Public Right of Way Upon receipt of a task order and at the direction of our client's representatives, the Operations Manager will direct the Load and Haul Supervisor to dispatch the previously selected loading and hauling equipment to starting locations agreed upon by the client and TFR.

No employees, or subcontractors of TFR will be allowed to work for private or other public entities while employed or contracted under this project. Hazardous Tree Removal Unstable and leaning trees along a public ROW or within a naturalized area, such as public parks or golf courses, may be eligible for removal. The Sub- Grantee may choose to attempt to save the tree through straightening and bracing, if the cost of repair is less than the removal and disposal. A tree is deemed hazardous and eligible for removal if: • The tree is an immediate threat to public health and safety or improved property • It has a DBH of 6" or greater when measured 4.5 feet above ground level AND one or more of these criteria: • 50% or more of the crown is damaged or destroyed • A split trunk or broken branches that expose the heart wood • Fallen, leaning or uprooted within a public use area • Leaning at an angle greater then 30 degrees After a tree has been deemed eligible and scheduled for removal, TFR tree crews will discuss a tree specific removal plan to ensure a safe, proper felling operation, considering: • Surrounding area for anything that may cause trouble when the tree falls • The shape of the tree, the lean of the tree and decayed or weak spots T.F.B. Folemiscs, loc. DISASTER. RESPONSE DIVISION • Wind force and direction • Location of other people • Electrical hazards Once the tree crew has identified a tree specific removal plan, the following procedures shall take place: • The employee shall work form the uphill side whenever possible. • Prior to felling operations, the work area shall be cleared to permit safe working conditions and an escape route shall be planned. • Each worker shall be instructed as to exactly what he /she is to do. All workers not directly involved in the operation shall be kept clear of the work area. • Before starting to cut, the operator shall be sure of his /her footing and must clear away brush, fallen trees, and other materials that might interfere with cutting operations. • A notch and back cut shall be used in felling trees over 5 inches in diameter measured at breast height (DBH). • The depth or penetration of the notch shall be about one -third the diameter of the tree. The opening or height of the notch shall be about 2.5 inches for each 1 ft. of the tree's diameter. The back cut shall be made higher (approximately 2 inches) than the base of the notch to prevent kickback. • The resulting notch shall be flush cut to the ground. Hazardous Limb Removal Hazardous limb removal work shall consist of the removal and disposal of storm - damaged limbs that are: • Imminent and impending peril to the public • Greater than 2" in diameter at the point of breakage • Broken and still attached to the tree The resulting debris will be collected from the grounds and hauled in accordance with normal debris collection standards. Hazardous Stump Removal The removal of hazardous stumps is a unique process requiring specialized equipment. As such, this process requires unique docurnentation and costing to realize full reimbursement, and meet the following criteria: • 50% or more of the root -ball exposed • Greater than 24" in diameter, as measured 24" above the ground • Located on public property or a public ROW • The removal of the stump requires extraction Once the diameter is established, pictures are taken, GPS coordinates establishing the location and the specific threat documented, the stump will be physically removed by the best means available. The resulting hole from the stump removal will be backfrlled and amount of material needed will be recorded. 0"9" .FRII. Folmiset Inc. DISASTER RESPONSE DIVISION Reduction of Debris Reduction of debris is normally applied to the vegetative debris such as brush and trees debris, which is also referred to as "burnable debris ". However, the reduction process can also be applied to some items that are considered non - burnable or construction and demolition debris. This would include such items as household furniture, construction materials such as roofing, treated timber. This process is applied for the purpose of reducing the volume of the material that is being landfilled. The economic evaluation of weighing the reduction cost against the unreduced landfill cost will be a factor in determining the feasibility of this approach. The most common methods of reduction are burning, chipping and grinding, compacting and recycling. Recycling is covered in the various sections as appropriate. Incineration There are two general classifications of the burning method, open burn and air curtain incineration. Open Burning: Open burning, although very cost effective, may not be suitable for urban areas. The feasibility of this method is very dependent on location and the cleanliness of the debris. Many areas and locations will not permit open bum particularly in urban environments where heavy smoke can create health and property damage concerns. However, in rural locations, if the debris is clean, there is very little environmental impact and the resulting ash can remain on the site, or be used as a soil additive. Bulldozers and loaders are the primary equipment required to operate an open burn process. Air Curtain Incineration: Air curtain incineration is also a very cost - effective method of reducing g clean, vegetative debris but with NP:LLE._� y a less environmental impact than the AIR CURTAIq PLENUM open burning method. Air curtain incineration, PR WALL. EITHER UIRt OR c eratlon, incorporates the use �� R PRE•NANUFACTUREO of a "burn pit' aided by a forced air blower. The pit can be constructed below or above grade 0 (depending on water table) and INPERY,00s1 includes a mechanical blower to I LAYER J create constant optimal bum rates and an "air curtain" effect. The air curtain incineration system is a combination of the blower and pit, engineered as a unit to achieve the effect of holding the smoke while feeding air to the fire pit. Since differing site locations contain differing conditions, such as soil composition, water table levels, etc. there are no air curtain incineration systems standards in the industry. In the construction and operation of an efficient air curtain incineration system, special consideration must be given to the following factors: • A set back of at least 100 feet between debris piles and the burn area with a minimum setback from buildings and structure of at least 1,000 feet. T.F.R. E rprlses, Inc. DISASTER RESPONSE DIVISION • Construction of non - combustible "warning" stop blocks (at least 1 foot in height) for equipment located at the burn pit • Use limestone (or equal material) for the construction of the "pit' with reinforced earth anchors, or wire mesh to support the loader ramps. • Use clay or limestone to create an impervious layer on the bottom of the pit to prevent leaching of the ash from the aquifer. This layer shall be at least 1 -foot deep and will be regularly inspected and maintained at that depth in the event scraper activity removes part of the layer during operations. • Seal the pit ends at least four feet high. • Pit construction (in accordance with this solicitation) shall be 8 -9 feet wide, and 14 feet deep. • A 12" dirt seal will be placed on the lip of the burn pit area to seal the lower nozzle. • The blower will be configured to direct the airflow to strike the wall of the pit 2 feet below the edge. Operators will be instructed that the debris should not break the path of the airflow except during dumping. • Equipment used will be tested and adjusted to assure that a minimum nozzle velocity of 8,800 fl/min (100 mph) and a volume of 900 cf/min/linear feet is produced during burn operations. • The length of the pit shall be no longer than the length of the blower nozzle. • The operators shall be instructed to load the pit uniformly along its length. • Operators will also be instructed to extinguish the fire at least 2 hours before removing the ash. • Water trucks will be used to dampen ash residue as well as areas surrounding the burn site. Chipping/Grinding Reduction of debris by chipping and /or grindin g is an opportunity to recycle the vegetative debris back to an economically beneficial use. However, the overall economic impact of chipping/grinding compared to burning will have to be reviewed before a determination can be made. Grinding/Chipping is the reduction of woody, vegetative debris by cutting and pounding the debris to reduce the woody materials into small pieces or "chips" This method normally produces a reduction of between 3 to 1 and 5 to 1, whereas burning reduces the debris by approximately 95 %. However, wood chips have the possibility to be recycled and used as mulch, fuel, ground cover and animal bedding to name a few. The availability to recycle the chips would be a significant factor in determining the economic value of chipping/grinding. In the construction and operation of a chipping/grinding reduction operation, special consideration is given to the following factors: • Grinding machines must have a clearance of 300 feet. Warning signs must be stationed around the perimeter of the grinding equipment, warning of possible flying objects from the grinders. W .E[ Earpriset loc. DISASTER RESPONSE DIVISION • The grinding machines must have screens, which produce chips not exceeding 4 inches in length and' /2 inch in diameter. • Liners shall be placed underneath grinders, and other stationary equipment, as a preventative measure against possible leaks or spills exposing the soil and groundwater to contaminants. • Debris must be sorted and clean of other contaminants such as metals. • Operators must wear hard hats even in closed cab machines while operating. • Root Rake loaders are used to avoid contaminating the debris entering the grinder with dirt or sand. • With a grinding capacity of approximately 800 CYD in an hour, debris hauled into the DMS site can be reduced and recycled while other debris is coming in making room for more debris and not requiring as much land mass for the site. • Ground debris or mulch shall be stored onside in piles no higher than 15 feet. Such piles shall not remain on site for longer than seven (7) days and haul out procedures shall be put in place to ensure the continued turnover of the material. Ground debris or mulch, is monitored daily for heat and internal combustion. Segregation of Debris Before material is brought into the DMS, all preparations for the site as outlined previously will be substantially completed. The DMS will have staging areas for each category of debris brought into the site. All debris will pass by the inspection tower after entering the site and all loads will be inspected. Although every effort will be made to segregate debris on the right -of -way before loading, debris materials still become mixed and some loads are so co- mingled that they are classified as mixed debris loads. These loads will be directed to the area defined on the site plan as the "mixed debris" pile. This material will be sorted and separated by machines with grapples and "thumbs" and by hand labor and placed into the C &D, Vegetative, HHW, White Goods, and Metal Piles. C &D Debris is non - burnable, non - recyclable debris that will eventually be delivered to a landfill. Samples of this type of debris include mattresses, clothing, household garbage, concrete, asphalt, metals, plastics, manufactured furniture, building components, etc. Parts of this material, if well separated, can be reduced by grinding before landfill, so as to reduce the cost of hauling and tipping fees (if charged by volume). Other parts, such as metal can be recycled if well separated and cleaned. Vegetative Debris is burnable debris and can be reduced by either incineration or by chipping/grinding. If reduced by incineration, the estimated reduction rate is 95% and leaves the ash residue to be hauled off and disposed. If reduced by chipping/grinding, the reduction rate is estimated at only 60 % -75 %, however, the by- product, mulch, can be recycled. The �,,WIER. E01mises, Inc. DISASTER RESPONSE DIVISION vegetative debris may become mixed with earth materials such as dirt, gravel, rock, or sand during the disaster. Root rakes are employed to shake and separate the brush and vegetative debris before it is reduced. Sometimes shaker screens or trommels are necessary to separate the earthen debris before reducing. Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) is debris such as household chemicals, pesticides, unidentified liquids, paint, batteries, etc. As mentioned earlier, the primary goal is to separate this material on the curbside and pick it up separately by a designated HHW crew. These items are then delivered to the collection points designated by a Client Debris Manager. However, if HHW inadvertently becomes co- mingled with other debris and enters the site, it is separated from the other debris and placed into a Hazardous Containment area on the site for further disposal by those licensed to handle and dispose of this type of debris. White Goods refers to items such as refrigerators, air conditioners, freezers, etc. which may contain chemicals or fluids such as Freon or oil, which must be remediated by someone with the appropriate license and certifications to do so. These items should be separated at curbside and delivered to the collection points designated by a Client Debris Manager. If they are brought to the site for temporary storage, they will be contained in a separate staging area so that they may be inspected and properly cleaned of all chemicals or fluids. Metals will be separated at the curbside and delivered to a separate staging area at the DMS unless directed otherwise by a client Debris Manager. These items may be recycled. During the operation of a DMS Site, special attention is afforded to the following areas • Site Safety: The Operations Manager and the Site Project Manager will conduct a Pre- Operations Site Safety meeting prior to the beginning of operations of the debris reduction site. Items to be included in the Safety meeting will be: • An overall review of the Site Plan and directions as to the location of all temporary structures, the planned traffic flow, location of first aid stations, eye wash stations, fire extinguishers and location of sign with postings of emergency numbers. • The first Weekly Safety Meeting will be held and all information as outlined in the Company Safety and Occupational Health Plan will be covered. • The Activity Hazard Analysis for each operations activity will be reviewed and discussed. • A communication path between the site management and site personnel will be established in the event of an emergency so that an orderly and efficient means is established to mitigate the event. • Dust Control: TFR provides water tricks, which do routine trips throughout the site during the operations, keeping dry roads dampened for minimizing the dust count. Water trucks are also used to dampen ash residue when removed from burn pit to ash pit. Attention is given to normal wind direction when layout of the site is prepared. • Hazardous Materials Containment Area: The Site Manager will regularly inspect the Hazardous Materials Containment area for any cuts, tears or leaks in the protective membrane that lines the containment area. The Manager will also inspect the berm surrounding the area to assure proper site runoff is still intact. t.r.e. turprises, Inc. DISASTER RESPONSE DIVISION • Roadways: Traffic will be designed as to allow the flow of incoming and outgoing debris trucks to avoid congestion. Safety, and directional signs will be posted throughout the site along with flagmen to assist and control traffic flow as well as for safety reasons. Road surfaces will be rock -laid for easier maintenance and to protect from erosion. Private, non - operation - related traffic will be prohibited from the site. • Communication: Operators and flagmen are equipped with two -way radios on the same frequency as the office base radio unit so that communications will be readily accessible throughout the site. Disposal Disposal sites for the debris will be determined before operations begin. This submittal encompasses the possibility that a permanent or final debris resting -place may not be immediately available in the beginning of operations, and we have therefore included the general operations of a Temporary Debris Storage and Reduction (DMS) site in this proposal. Disposal of debris is the operation of placing debris in its final resting place such as a licensed, permitted permanent landfill or as expressed above, at a DMS site. This operation includes the use of hauling equipment. In the Hauling and Dumping operations, special consideration is given to the following: • All loading and hauling crews are under the direction of a TFR supervisor. Daily reports are maintained by the Crew Foreman, and all equipment down time for repairs are noted on the daily reports. Hours of each piece of equipment and each employee are recorded and reconciled with a Client Representative, daily. • Qualification of all operators /drivers is reviewed and determined before being allowed to haul materials. • All insurance documents and copies of driver's licenses are on file in the field office before beginning operations. • The safety orientation meeting is held by the Load and Haul Project Manager before operations begin. • Equipment is inspected and a record of the inspection is retained on file in the filed office before operations begin. • Operators /drivers are versed on the dumpsite procedures before leaving the loading site. • All truck operators will be instructed to observe traffic regulations and follow the instructions of the flag persons. • All operators will report to the weigh station /inspection tower and deliver their "load ticket" to the QC operator (or government inspector) for inspection and approval before proceeding to dump his/her debris. • The designated dumpsite operator will direct each truck operator as to where to dump each load at the dumpsite location. • Each truck operator will inspect his truck and tailgate after the dumping process is completed to assure that it is secure before leaving the dump area. %ALIB.101miset Inc. DISASTER RESPONSE DIVISION • Truck operators will follow the designed traffic flow when leaving the dump and return to the designated loading area. Haul Out Procedures Hauling Out of debris is the operation of hauling reduced debris from a DMS to a final resting place at a designated destination to be used in any member of capacities such as ground cover, bio -fuel and fertilizer. This operation includes the use of hauling equipment. In the Hauling Out operations, special consideration is given to the following: • All hauling crews are under the direction of a TFR supervisor. Daily reports are maintained by the DMS foreman, and all equipment down time for repairs are noted on the daily reports. Hours of each piece of equipment and each employee are recorded and reconciled with a Client Representative, daily. • Qualification of all operators /drivers is reviewed and determined before being allowed to haul materials. • All insurance documents and copies of driver's licenses are on file in the field office before beginning operations. • The Load and Haul Project Manager hold the safety orientation meeting before operations begin. • Equipment is inspected and a record of the inspection is retained on file in the field office before operations begin. • Operators /drivers are versed on the dumpsite procedures before beginning loading activities and hauling reduced debris out of the DMS site. • Trucks are loaded by rubber -tired backhoes, or excavator, utilizing a mulch ramp constructed approximately twelve (12) feet high, eight (8) feet wide and at a grade, not to exceed, thirty -five (35) degrees. This shall be determined at the site depending on topography and availability. No individuals will be allowed on the structure unless otherwise instructed to do so by the DMS Manager and/or assessing the overall safety of the structure. • Each truck operator shall inspect his/her truck before proceeding to the inspection tower to ensure the load is filled and all items are secured and covered by a tarp or other covering preventing chips from being blown from the bed. • All truck operators will be instructed to observe traffic regulations and follow the instructions of the flag persons. • All operators will report to the weigh station/inspection tower and deliver their "load ticket" to the QC operator (or government inspector) for inspection and approval before proceeding to leave the dump to its destination. • Truck operators will follow the designed traffic flow when leaving the dump and return to the designated loading area. White Goods, E- Waste, and Putrefied Foods White Goods refers to items such as refrigerators, air conditioners, freezers, etc. which may contain chemicals or fluids such as Freon or oil, which must be remediated by someone with the appropriate license and certifications to do so. These items will be separated at curbside and will be delivered to the DMS collection point. At the DMS we will contain Dirty White Goods separate from White Goods and they will be inspected and properly cleaned of all �� � U.N. torprisesr IRS. DISASTER RESPONSE DIVISION chemicals or fluids or removed by professionals certified and licensed to dispose of them. TFR shall submit a Dirty White Goods Operations, Cleaning and Disposal Plan prior to beginning site operations. Upon award of a contract, a Hazmat removal team will be assigned to oversee the curbside removal and HHW removal at the DMS site and, if given a contract for ROE, precede the demolition team. The Hazmat team will remove all HHW and White Goods to the curbside, separated, before haul off, or demolition begins. This team will document on a daily reporting form, the type and quantity of HHW and White goods at the pick -up location. • Refrigerants with putrescible wastes will be scaled by taping closed so as not to have accidental openings and spillage while in transit to disposal site. • The separated HHW and White Goods will be transported by separate container from the demolition site to the DMS. • Any HHW that may inadvertently become mixed with truckloads shall be separated at the DMS site and stored in the HHW area for removal by the HHW crew. • Automobiles will be removed to a separate temporary storage area where they will be held for recycling. • Loose tires located at curbside will be kept separate and removed by the HHW crew. • Extra caution will be applied to the handling of dirty white goods that still contain putrescible wastes, such as sealed freezers, refrigerators, coolers and iceboxes. Putrescible waste is solid waste that contains organic matter capable of being decomposed by microorganisms and of such a character and proportion as to cause obnoxious odors and to can attract or providing food for birds or animals. Improper handling of putrescible waste could lead to odor issues that make siting and operating a DMS difficult. There are also numerous potential employee health and safety issues related to the removal and disposal of putrescible wastes. These White Goods shall be delivered to a landfill certified to handle Municipal Solid Waste. • White goods may also have refrigerants (Freon and Freon replacements), and often plastics and motors and sometimes other electronic components that need to be removed before recycling. Refrigerant removal must be done by trained and qualified personnel and can potentially lead to spills of regulated chemicals. Only certified, experienced and trained personnel will be used for these critical tasks to minimize risk and maximize efficiency. • All waste removal, cleaning and handling will be managed to minimize potential exposure of workers and others to waste and minimize generation of odors. • Procedures such as proper sealing of refrigerants and containers will be in place to control vector exposure, attraction of wildlife and minimize volume expansion through addition of water to the waste stream. Vehicles and Vessels Abandoned Vehicles and Vessels will be removed and taken to a temporary staging/storage area. It is anticipated that the State Government's Department of Transportation or Department of Motor Vehicles will be the project manager for title of ownership issues related to any vehicle recovery and recycling project associated with the disaster response. Q.F.B. Eulmiset Inc. DISASTER RESPONSE DIVISION Vehicles and vessels brought to the staging areas will be inventoried by license plate, make, model, color and vehicle identification number. They shall be staged and site tagged for easy retrieval. For a vehicle or a vessel to be deemed eligible it must: • Present a hazard or immediate threat that blocks ingress /egress in a public -use area • Ownership is undetermined • The applicant followed all local ordinances and State laws by securing ownership • The applicant verified chain of custody, transport, and disposal of the vehicle or vessel Disaster Debris Recycling TFR is a green industry company. The principals of TFR are proponents of recycling whenever possible and many members of management are LEED Certified. As such, TFR utilizes tub grinders, slow speed shredder, trommels, loaders, and excavators which are used to sort, separate, and reduce vegetative debris to reusable mulch, dirt, metals, and other construction products. Following each disaster event, TFR will make every effort to locate a reusable purpose for this material such as bedding material for plants, ground cover for parks, animal bedding, and reusable energy sources as boiler fuel for co- generation plants or production mills. In addition to the vegetative recycling, every effort is made to keep the metals segregated and clean so that the Ferris and non - Ferris metals can be recycled. In cases of large quantities of mixed debris, a system of separation using a trommel, air curtain burner, picking line conveyor and tub grinder, can be used which will allow the paper and plastic to be separated, and the clean dirt, rock & concrete, Ferris metals, non -Ferris metals and clean vegetative debris sorted and piled for recycling. Sources will be sought for the following recyclable material: • Asphalt • C &D • Concrete /Aggregate • Dirt • E -Waste • Metals • Roofing Materials • White Goods • Mulch • Tires TFR has vast experience employing recycling activities, and maintains established relationships with recycling firms to accept various types of debris. While completing debris reduction of 2,000,000 CYD for the City of Tulsa, TFR loaded the chips on railcars and shipped the excess reduced debris to a Company -owned mulching facility in Leander, Texas. Alternative methods of disposal exist and are well documented by TFR. During Hurricane Ike, storm- generated debris from Polk County was hauled and burned at a local I folepriscs.loc. DISASTER RESPONSE DIVISION paper mill in Orange County, Texas. This strict commitment to recycling of storm- generated debris has benefited both client and TFR. Emergency Response and Deployment Plan — Project Closeout At the cessation of DMS operations, all sites will be restored to the satisfaction of our client's representatives /owner with the intent of maintaining the utility of each site, leaving it unencumbered for firture use and to safeguard the environment. Soil and water samples will be taken and compared to pre -work samples to ensure that TFR operations have not negatively affected the environment. Other factors that are considered during the remediation process are: • All pre - existing grades including roads, ditches, etc. will be restored to the satisfaction of the customer prior to final closure of each site. • Areas where soils were excavated (e.g., ditches and retention ponds) or stockpiled (e.g., berms) will also be restored to pre- existing grade prior to vacating each site. • Pre - constriction drainage patterns will also be restored, as well as all improvements (e.g., trailers, wells, fencing, construction entrances and built up aggregate haul roads) will be removed from each DMS unless otherwise instructed by our client's representative. Upon completion of the above remediation tasks, TFR will photo - document site conditions using both video camera and still photographs. As done with the water and soil samples, the post -work photos will be compared to pre -work photos to ensure that the site was remediated to original condition. Subcontracting Plan TFR is uniquely positioned within the debris removal industry as one of the premier companies maintaining an extensive fleet of machinery utilized in debris removal, reduction and management efforts to frilly operate independently. To accommodate your debris project needs, TFR provides access to 140 pieces of equipment including, but not limited to, sixteen (16) self - loaders with trailers, eight (8) Diamond Z Tub Grinders, as well as heavy haulers, excavators and five (5) mobile command units maintaining electronic access to manage entire projects. This extensive list would be insufficient without the pairing of our in -house maintenance crew. These individuals ensure that key equipment necessary for fluid; efficient operations shall never hamper the ongoing project and impact TFR's project timeline to the client. TFR's maintenance crew augments the daily responsibilities of our employees and subcontractors by fulfilling all duties to the client to secure the vitality of our equipment and the project. With the large fleet of equipment and the necessary logistical support, TFR is fully capable of quickly and efficiently responding independently with a substantial workforce of equipment and personnel to an effected community almost immediately. However, this independence does not secure the necessary goals strictly outlined and routinely reinforced by upper management in response to our service- minded attitudes. TFR firmly believes that our business cannot be sustained and grow without the strong, positive working relationship with our clients, suppliers and our countless subcontractors. This service- minded attitude OC11F.R. Inc. DISASTER RESPONSE DIVISION drives the business and fortifies the strong relationships TFR maintains with our subcontractors. Therefore, such relationships maintained with small business, minority - owned, and numerous other companies allow TFR to fulfill the requirements that may be mandated by the client's Representatives and other Government Agencies. In the past, TFR has employed as many as 250 subcontractors during a single event and maintains a data base of 300+ experienced, previously employed and approved debris removal subcontractors throughout the United States. Local Subcontracting Procedures At TFR, we firmly believe that local contractors provide the most cost - effective measure to complete the contract requirements while aiding the local economy after the impact of a disaster. TER plans to utilize local subcontractors to the extent at which they are available and properly licensed. TFR shall exhaust all avenues to obtain qualified local subcontractors to meet the needs of the community while infusing the local economy with needed revenue. As such, TFR is committed to identifying the local subcontractors qualified and prepared to support the community on the path to recovery. TFR plans to solicit and establish local subcontractors through the following plan: TFR Enterprises' principals and managers have always exercised a policy of recruiting subcontractors in the affected work area. This practice is considered good business because of the advantages received by contracting with local companies residing in the affected area. There are a number of factors that contribute to the overall effectiveness of local subcontractors: (1) familiarity with the areas to be worked, (2) knowledge of the most efficient traffic patterns, (3) information on local suppliers for parts, equipment repairs, etc., (4) reduction in end project costs as local subcontractors do not require housing and travel cost, per diem, etc. These factors reduce the cost of the project to the client while allowing the county to retain large portions of the money in the hands of its constituency. With these reasons in mind, TFR is committed to fulfilling the requirements of the client by implementing the Local Subcontracting Plan listed below: 1. Establish a local telephone line so that it may be contacted easier than calling to long- distance cell phone numbers. 2. The Company will post signs and telephone numbers at the entrance to its work site and at its field office. 3. Subcontracting opportunities are advertised by local newspaper. 4. During the search for subcontractors following an award, the company's Chief Operating Officer will contact the Small Business Administration office in the work area and access the Procurement Marketing and Access Network, National Minority Purchasing Council Vendor Information Service and the Research and Information Division of the Minority Business Development Agency in the Department of Commerce. 5. The local Veteran's Administration is contacted upon the company's assignment of a task order, and alerted as to the type of products and service the contract requires, and the company's local telephone number and address is registered with them, not only for subcontracting, but for short-term employment opportunities r 7 ICIT.F.R. Inc. DISASTER RESPONSE DIVISION State and local trade agencies will be contacted, such as the Association of General Contractors (AGC) for example. They oftentimes maintain databases sorted by business classification and status and can provide a resource of small businesses in the area. The Chamber of Commerce in the affected area will be contacted and asked to provide a listing of any (a) trade associations, (b) business development organizations and (c) HUBZone concerns. Contacts arising from these inquiries are followed up with calls to local subcontractors requesting detailed information leading to their qualification for work. With such action, TFR shall exhaust all avenues to identify, qualify and employ any local subcontractor. When local subcontractors are unavailable, outside sources may be contacted to achieve the desired mobilization goals, in accordance with our pre - qualified list of subcontractors. Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Utilization During the past two (2) decades, TFR has actively promoted the participation of small and disadvantaged businesses in the performance of disaster - related debris removal projects. Born from a small tree service company in 1954, TFR was a long time small business enabled firm working in Memphis, Tennessee. Renamed TFR and incorporated in 1989, owner, Tipton Rowland, considers this sector of the industry to be a vital and reliable source of debris management resources recalling his days as a small business owner himself. As such, TFR executives are directly involved in the achievement of small and disadvantaged business plans and goals by project. Good Faith Effort TFR is continually working to achieve higher goals for qualified small and disadvantaged business subcontractors. For the purposes of this proposal, TFR will strive to meet or exceed the expectations of the work under the contract to small and /or disadvantaged businesses. Subcontractor Management TFR manages subcontracts through a five -step process: 1. Selection of most appropriate subcontractors. This is done through balancing geography and capability. Local subcontractors are almost always more cost effective as they go home at night to sleep and eat. They also have local resources for materials, supplies and equipment repairs, and thus, are preferred. 2. The issuing of the formal subcontract establishes contract compliance requirements, formalizes expectations, and provides an established, impartial mechanism for quick resolution of disputes as they arise. 3. Production is tracked and expectations are communicated daily. 4. Daily active Quality Control results in immediate identification and correction of problems. 5. QC and other reporting gets rolled up regularly into contract compliance and reporting, such as small business subcontracting plans. Q" 1R. E npriscs, oc. DISASTER RESPONSE DIVISION TFR's Subcontractor Management Plan and approach is focused on three main performance evaluation criteria: • Production, Safety, and Quality Control Production: Ready means that the subcontractors have completed appropriate administrative actions, have their equipment and personnel on site and in condition to work, and they know the tasks they are expected to perform. Prior to NTP, the subcontractors identified, selected and are notified by the Operations Manager. Priorities are based upon a review the database of all experienced subcontractors. The priority list for subcontracts is grouped into our known, experienced subcontractors, and augmented by the capabilities of the local subcontractors. Upon receiving notice to proceed from the contracting agency or at the discretion of the Operations Manager, we will notify subcontractors on stand -by to execute mobilization plans and their personnel and provide us with a firm arrival ready -to -work time. Additionally, TFR personnel will also review the equipment and personnel requirements and compare with equipment already on hand to determine the additional equipment and personnel to be mobilized. This will first come from the Company -owned available list, then subcontractors immediately available list, comprised of our known, experienced subcontractors and local contractors, and equipment supplier's list. Working effectively means good communications of expectations and regular optimization. There will be daily formal and informal communications between the Project Managers and the subcontractor's superintendents. At the start of each day, the geographic area assigned will be reviewed and verified, along with any known hindrances to free- flowing operations. Also, covered will be production expectations, other difficulties expected, and the performance of previous period (usually the previous day). In addition to this start up communication, the subcontractors will have the chance to review and comment on the previous QC report, noting key items like production reported, equipment and personnel readiness and actions and variances. Each day (or other period depending on project requirements) subcontractors will get the chance to communicate and "buy -in" to the immediate operations plan. Quality means the satisfactory completion of debris removal from given sectors in accordance with the Scope of Work and approved by both the client Representative and TFR's QC personnel. Continually checked and verified by our QC personnel and documented in QC reports, subcontractors shall remove all debris, with exceptions for C &D, HHW, etc., in each sector before moving to the next loading site. TFR closely monitors subcontractors to ensure the quality of the end service to the client Under no circumstances shall the subcontractor only collect large, "easy" debris; and more so, these unacceptable deficiencies are noted in the subcontractors file with repeat offender's subject to termination. Note: No employees or subcontractors of TFR will be allowed to work for private or other public entities while employed or contracted under this project. L „,r ER.10prises, lac. DISASTER RESPONSE DIVISION Subcontractor Safety Safety is considered a condition of employment and is the responsibility of all associated with TFR, whether in the capacity of employee or subcontractor. All subcontract agreements are subject to this Safety and Occupational Health Policy as a condition of the contract agreement. The following procedures will be administered to assure that all subcontractor activities are fully integrated into the project safety plan and job hazards analysis. When subcontractors first report to the job site and prior to beginning work, the project manager shall review with the subcontractor safety representative the contractual obligation to safety and the project safety rules that subcontractor employees are required to follow. Review the Corporate Accident Prevention Plan and stress all the applicable requirements and procedures. Review the specific Company safety rules and regulations. Review hazardous work conditions presented by the physical assessment of the proj ect. Instruct their safety representative that they are to attend a monthly safety meeting. It must be firmly established that all subcontractors' employees must be abide by the applicable OSHA regulations. Subcontractor Quality Control Program The purpose of this Quality Control Program is for TFR to perform sufficient inspection and tests of all iter subcontractors, to ensure conformance to applicable respect to the production, quantities, field activities, in finish, functional performance, and identification. to establish a quality control system is of work, including that of our specifications and drawings with aerials, workmanship, construction, During work on this contract the quality control personnel will perform the required inspections on the subcontractor's work. The Quality Control Officer is responsible for the direct supervision of all superintendents and subcontractors to ensure that the work is being performed according to the Scope of Work and TFR's Quality Control Program. Additionally, the TFR Quality Control Officer shall prepare, sign and submit to the Edinburg Representative a Daily Quality Control Report. This will include identification of Subcontractor QC actions. Subcontractor actions subject to QC verification and reporting, include, at a minimum: • Summary of safety issues • Infrastructure damage • Total numbers of trucks loaded • Equipment and plant hours worked and idled or down • Testing performed and by whom • Loads and quantities hauled to TDSRS • Quantity of debris reduced (if applicable) • Number of subcontractor personnel working „ rT.�.n.10prlsns, Inc. DISASTER RESPONSE DIVISION • Contract non - compliance issues • All corrective actions In the event of notice of a violation as a result of the actions of any employee or subcontractor, the Operations Manager will take immediate corrective action and follow up on the enforcement of such action and so notate in his daily log record. Additional quality control measures will be discussed later in the Quality Control Section. Multiple Delivery Orders in Multiple Locations In general, the company management approach applied to multiple projects being performed simultaneously is: • Each Task Order has its own Task Order Superintendent assigned. • Task Order Superintendents have the authority to commit the company • All Task Order Superintendents report to the Operations Manager • Depending on scope of work and size of contract: - A Project manager will be assigned to each phase of the debris removal /management operations, (i.e., Load & Haul Manager, TDSRS Manager) - Each Project manager will report daily to the Task Order Superintendent - Each crew will be under the direction of a Crew Foreman who will report to the Project manager - Crew foremen will be responsible for maintaining daily reports and overseeing the crew operations Each Project manager will: - Provide daily work assignments to each crew foreman - Perform daily reviews with the Task Order Superintendent of work performed, time schedules, performance targets and work assignments for the following day Managing Multiple Subcontractors on Multiple Task Orders If awarded multiple task orders in different geographical areas, TFR will assign a separate Project Manager for each region to oversee TFR operations and subcontractors. Subcontracting agreements will be often executed in the field and copies of all agreements along with necessary, tax, insurance and license information will be available for review and approval by client Representatives. As in all projects, it remains absolute condition precedence; all subcontractors will be under the direction of a TFR Supervisor. Each superintendent will establish a field office located within the area of the assigned Task Order. The Superintendent for each task order will have the authority to hire subcontractors and additional field personnel when necessary. All field office personnel will have electronic linkage with the capability of communicating and sending information and daily records to the home office. Daily ticket recording and recordkeeping will be conducted and maintained in the field. Should the quantity of work warrant enhanced capabilities for the region and at the discretion of the Superintendent, TFR shall dispatch additional mobile command units where necessary. Reconciled information for subcontractors and a client Representative will be sent to the home office weekly and billings and subcontractor payments as well as local Q.F.R. FRIrprlsns, Inc. DISASTER RESPONSE DIVISION employees, vendors and suppliers will be recorded posted, and checks written on National Banks from the home office. Checks for payments will be processed weekly and sent to the field office by either courier or public carrier (such as Federal Express or UPS) for disbursement. Task Order Superintendents will appoint Load & Haul Crew Managers, Hazardous Tree Trimming and Removal Managers, TDSR Site Managers and Demolition and ROE Managers (as needed per task order). Each Task Order Superintendent shall have the authority to commit the Corporation, and resources of TFR including signing contracts and modifications. They shall also have the authority to provide administrative and financial resources, equipment and personnel in support of the project.
