TFR's principals and employees are very proud of it's reputation we have earned during the past 16 years as an immediate, efficient, affordable and responsible debris removal/disaster response contractor. As we stated in our proposal, in the unfortunate event that a disaster should strike the City of Ocoee, TFR Enterprises, Inc.'s personnel and equipment will be ready and available to respond to the City's needs immediately from our staging location in Floral City, Florida. However, we regret that our insurance company will be unable to provide a payment or performance bond prior to the award of a defined work/task order contract. (Please see the attached response letter). Please be assured that in the event the City should issue a work/task order, a Payment and Performance bond would be issued within 24 hours as has been the custom in the past. You have our Bid Bond as assurance in addition to our written commitment. During our sixteen year history, TFR Enterprises, Inc. has never failed to show up on time with all required documentation and perform each of its' contracts in a timely and satisfactory manner. The City of Ocoee, Florida will be no different. We respectfully request that the City continue to rely on TFR Enterprises, Inc. as one of your reliable stand -by contractors for future disaster /debris removal events.

Pre -Event Contract — City of Ocoee RFP #11 -001 Emergency — Disaster Debris Removal Dan, This letter is to confirm our position on the submitted request for a performance and payment bond to be posted for the pre -event contract referenced above. As you well know, and as we at Liberty see routinely throughout the country in handling contractors in this line of work, a final P &P bond would typically not be requested or issued until there is an actual necessity for a work/task order. In addition to the above, the contract language submitted allows for the owner's unilateral option to extend the initial one -year term for five additional years. This clause, as well as for cancellation rights, should, and typically would, give the contractor as well as the surety the same rights as the owner to extend or cancel. In light of the atypical circumstances above, we would unfortunately not be able to support this bond need for our good account, TFR Enterprises. Please call with any questions.

Lakeshore Drive Ocoee, Florida 34761 -2258 Re: RFP -11 -001 Emergency- Disaster Debris Removal Term Contract Dear Ms Tolbert: TAG Grinding Services, Inc. would like to thank you for the opportunity to submit the attached proposal for Emergency- Disaster Debris Removal for the City of Ocoee (RFP #11 -001). We are excited about the possibility of providing assistance to the City regarding disaster planning, response and recovery efforts. The proposal is submitted after a careful review of the proposal instructions, the general terms and conditions and the outlined and detailed scope of services. We confirm that we have the firm understanding, confidence, competence and experience to be a valuable partner in your recovery should the need arise. TAG has an extensive history of providing quality and affordable services to communities throughout Florida, the Gulf and East Coasts and the Midwest. We have no doubt that the knowledge and experience that we bring to the table will exceed all of your expectations. At the outset, and as will be covered in brief, we must first stress that pre -event planning, timely and effective mobilization, quality control, a time and event tested management team, safety and financial stability are critical to any successful mission. Since 1996, TAG has developed and cultivated these areas and established a best practices template second to none. To that end a specific Pre -Event Planning Section has been provided in brief beginning at page 28. When coupled with our financial strength and proven subcontractor alliances, TAG has become a formidable force in the disaster response and recovery arena. Further, TAG owns and maintains over 240 pieces of equipment dedicated exclusively to debris missions in support of our clients. Few in the industry have such a capability. The City of Ocoee presents unique challenges. More than ever before, regular planning sessions with our clients have greatly enhanced preparation for, responding to and ultimately recovering from disasters. Planning is a year round endeavor requiring dedication and consistency. With the ever changing FEMA requirements and today's economic situation, reimbursement has become of heightened importance. Our financial stability represented by our ability to pay our contractors weekly until funds are received by the City enables the City to prioritize fund allocations to achieve the best results for the safety and welfare of the citizenry. Herein we present our past performance record and abbreviated operational plans. A pre -event planning section, specifically addressing operational issues peculiar to the City, has been developed and presented. Additionally, provisional mapping has been completed in support of the basic operational plan. A variety of mapping options are available to include districts, grid mapping, zip codes etc. However, in this instance we have provided detailed maps depicting the division of the City in to twelve (12) Primary Debris Management Zones. A "crew" map has been provided to illustrate debris removal post second pass whereby debris is mapped by address and type and distributed to the crew to facilitate timely effective and efficient debris removal while at the same time reducing the number of required crews thus reducing traffic and increasing safety. With over 100 projects successfully completed by TAG since incorporation in 1998, TAG has become a national leader in management and recovery efforts. In Kentucky alone, following the 2009 Ice Storm, TAG was called upon to complete operations in eight (8) counties simultaneously when other contractors could not and did not complete the mission. Letters of commendation from the Transportation Cabinet, Counties and Cities are attached for your review and consideration. When other companies struggle to complete their own contracts, often seeking assistance from TAG, TAG has always successfully completed its missions in addition to those of others. In conclusion, this proposal is submitted without collusion of any sort with any person or entity. The information presented is true and accurate to the best of our knowledge. The quoted pricing is both fair and reasonable and are submitted in good faith. We encourage the County to seek counsel from the regional FEMA office to verify the "reasonableness" of the rates quoted. This offer is firm and irrevocable until such time as the contract is executed or otherwise awarded. We encourage you to contact all of our present and former clients regarding the quality of our services. A detailed index has been provided for ease of locating critical elements of the package including attachments /exhibits. In addition to the required information, Section 5 has been added regarding the Concept of Operations and providing additional exhibits. Further, for the sake of brevity and in keeping with the page limitations, information required in Section 1 was not repeated in Section 4 regarding subcontractors, company owned equipment etc. Much more information and insight is available upon request. Thanking you in advance for your courtesies, with warmest regards, l remain Sin , erely, J / r . Sonny" rmond Director of Field Operations TAG Grinding Services, Inc.

Bonding Letter /Information Section 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TAG Grinding Services, Inc., began debris removal and management operations in 1996 and quickly established itself as a leader in the industry. Greg Rogers, President and owner of Plateau Excavation, joined with Jerry Brooks, owner ofJWB Leasing, to form TAG to specialize in disaster recovery operations. The company grew exponentially and formally incorporated as a Georgia Corporation in 1998. Since its inception, TAG Grinding Services, Inc. has demonstrated that, regardless of the size or nature of the disaster, TAG is prepared to and will answer the call for disaster related relief services. As this presentation clearly demonstrates, TAG has aggressively performed contracts for services as a result of Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Ice Storms and Floods. While exceptionally trained crews are on call and readily available, many contracts are performed exclusively with equipment owned by TAG. In the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, TAG not only completed recovery r., operations of its own in the City of Jasper and .1 j , � f Jasper County but also managed the grinding and r ' _ ¢= disposal of debris collected in Harris County a'e ; 1 , 4 , under another company. In Harris County alone, �, ' 4' TAG processed over 800,000 cubic yards of vegetative debris. Our subcontractor force is safe, proficient Figure 1 . TAG owns over 230 individual pieces of and well trained. In fact, even when TAG is equipment devoted exclusively to debris operations performing its own contracts, it is routinely called on to assist other companies. During Hurricane Ike, TAG successfully completed four of its own contracts while at the same time providing debris removal crews, debris site management, and reduction and disposal services for a number of other companies. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, TAG simultaneously completed recovery operations for six counties and two cities yet was still able to answer the call to its clients affected by Hurricane Wilma. Since beginning operations in 1998, TAG has never had a lost man -hour accident -a safety record unmatched in the industry. Each and every truck owned and /or operated by TAG is USDOT registered and certified; each truck is tarped and fully insured; each truck and piece of equipment undergoes a rigorous safety and maintenance inspection before, during and after each operational period. All drivers have clean safety /accident records and are CDL certified and licensed. Our crews are trained in safety and effective traffic management techniques as outlined in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Safety Manual EM 385 -1 -1. Our dedicated subcontractors, when combined with the extensive self performance capability of TAG, present a formidable force capable of responding to even the most severe disaster doing so quickly, efficiently and safely. 1 Since responding to its first major storm, TAG has become recognized as a national leader in disaster response and recovery including overall debris management services. Indeed, some of its clients have awarded TAG contracts in perpetuity. TAG also possesses a dedicated team of professionals trained by FEMA in the National Incident Management and Incident Management Systems (NIMS /ICS) and by the United States Army Corps of Engineers in Quality Control procedures. TAG personnel boast of experience in responding to Nor'easters (February 7, 1978) in Massachusetts to Ice Storms in Arkansas, Oklahoma, North Carolina, South Carolina and Kentucky from Tornadoes in Alabama to Hurricanes in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Tennessee. Throughout it all, TAG has never been terminated for failure to respond; has never been terminated for deficient or non - performance; has never been sued; and has never failed to pay its subcontractors- even when TAG was not paid by others. No one in the industry can honestly make such a statement. Honor, integrity, professionalism and responsibility aren't just buzz words at TAG -they are the standards to which TAG aspires. Anyone can load and haul debris. But the assignment is not complete until the client has received all of the associated paperwork sufficient to ensure full reimbursement under the FEMA Public Assistance Program. Our dedicated staff remains committed and available to assist our clients long after the last load is hauled and the last disposal facility is closed. TAG will be there with you until final FEMA audit and close out. On staff are former FEMA and USACE auditors knowledgeable and dedicated to your full recovery. p hi - „00 1%.,lif. , i ----•.,...___ . , .. i rr rm 4 i ....._ , ___________,_ ,,,.... k - _ 4Z'" 0 rc yam; , , ' -_ l irv, te.12 :.:, 1 p . : ,,;:k, , a., MA? r _ 1 • _ ${ i a \ Figure 2 The commitment by TAG begins with the awarding of the contract. However, our services begin at the same time. As you will see in the Pre -Event Planning section, TAG meets with its clients at least once per year to review plans and strategies to ensure that greatest possible readiness level possible can be achieved -all at no cost to the client. 2 When disaster strikes, the citizens of Ocoee deserve a contractor with the knowledge, experience and integrity to get the job done safely and expeditiously.

PERSONNEL QUALIFICATIONS: As the previous section demonstrates, TAG Grinding Services, Inc. possesses a dedicated staff of time tested professionals possessing unique skill sets. With rare exception, all of these individuals have been with TAG at or prior to its date of incorporation. Having worked together in over one hundred projects related to disaster relief, their experience and team building skills and capabilities are unmatched in the industry. Below is a brief description for some of these key personnel. By design, we do not include copies of all certificates and certifications but only those essential to convey a certain level of expertise. For example, one of our FEMA experts, Sonny Armond, has been certified in virtually every course offered by FEMA. Additionally, he has certificates as an Asbestos Supervisor from the State of Louisiana and Quality Control Manager by the United States Corps of Engineers. To provide all of his certificates, undergraduate degrees and doctoral degrees would necessarily involve substantial space. Secondly, not all experience is listed for the key personnel. For example, two members of the staff have actively participated in disaster recovery services for over 30 years. To document each and every event would constitute a report unto itself.

CARNES City Attorney CITY OF ALBERTVILLE, ALABAMA September 7, 2010 To Whom It May Concern; This letter is written to serve as a recommendation on behalf of TAG Grinding Services, Inc. The City of Albertville, Alabama suffered devastating destruction to our city on April 24, 2010 by an F3/F4 tornado. F.E.M.A.'s initial estimates had the vegetative debris, clean up, price tag at 1.8 million dollars. TAG Grinding Services, Inc. was awarded a debris removal contract on May 5, 2010 and mobilized their equipment and began the clean up process on Monday, May 10,2010. The company was very professional in our initial meeting and assured us that their number one priority was to get Albertville cleaned up as quickly and efficiently as possible. On August 27, 2010 TAG had fmished their objective to our satisfaction with no delays and no complaints. For the citizens of Albertville, the city government, and all the city employees involved, this was quite an accomplishment for which they are to be commended. The City of Albertville highly recommends TAG to any city, county, or state government that would need their services after suffering from a major disaster such as ours. It is without reservation that we recommend TAG to any entity that may need their services in the future.

Prather Governor - WNW. kentucky.gov Secretary May 20, 2009 To Whom It May Concern: In late January 2009, the State of Kentucky was hit with a devastating ice storm that caused wide spread damage and generated a significant amount of tree related debris along our roadway system. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) immediately put in place a debris removal contract for each county affected throughout the State. This debris removal contract included removal of hangers, leaners and debris existing along our maintained right -of -way that followed FEMA protocol and specifications. I had the opportunity to oversee the work of this debris removal in McCracken County where the services of TAG Grinding Services INC were utilized in accordance with the KYTC debris removal contract. The amount of debris along our state roadway system in McCracken County totaled over 300,000 cubic yards upon completion by TAG. Throughout the course of this project I worked closely with TAG representatives to ensure that all FEMA guidelines were being adhered to, that safety was always a primary focus to all parties involved, that TAG was adequately addressing all affected areas in McCracken County for KYTC, and most importantly that our customer, the public, was receiving a quality product. The TAG staff was very accommodating and kept in constant contact with all applicable KYTC staff as to work progression, work changes, specific needs, etc. All paperwork was submitted promptly and any requests made by KYTC were addressed in a timely fashion. The project staff took great pride in their work and made a superb effort at ensuring our needs were met on a daily basis. In closing, I would highly recommend TAG Grinding Services, INC for any future debris removal projects and am glad I have had the opportunity to work with them during our recent disaster.

Roads were blocked, communications down and in excess of 95% of the county was without power. It was an emergency situation unlike any we had addressed before. TAG Grinding Services was a primary contributor to the success of our cleanup and restoration efforts enabling our community to function again. Tens of thousands of cubic yards of debris littered our roadways and hanging limbs and leaning trees increased danger along them. TAG's crews were awarded the cleanup and debris collection contract and immediately began work. They worked fast, putting in long hours under some conditions that were less than desirable. During th l work period temperatures ranged from 8 to 82 degrees. Their crews were courteous and understanding of residents concerns and throughout the operation, with cleanup of over 500 miles of roadway, not a single complaint was lodged over their work performance. • While I hope we never have to face another catastrophe like the ice storm. of 2009, I have comfort in knowing that TAG is available should we. I highly recommend their services.

Tatum Purchasing Daeeter • MCTfmhj • ...s.aocrt.r vsA sprit taaZflOrza Section 3 Price Proposal See Attached The instant prices have been developed exclusively for the City of Ocoee without any collusion or interaction of any type with any other person or entity. It is understood that the successful contractor will be required to enter into negotiations for refinement and /or consideration of modification of costs. It is further understood that the FEMA "reasonableness" requirements may cause modification of the costs as well. The pricing for Phase I collection and hauling reflects a base price of $6.18 per cubic yard for loading and hauling and $1.00 per cubic yard for site management for a total of $7.18 per cubic yard. Although the pricing for hanging limbs reflects an "each" quantity, it is understood that FEMA 325 suggests a "price per tree" basis. TAG normally charges $38.00 per tree regardless of the number of hanging limbs per tree. In utilizing the per tree basis, as suggested by FEMA 325, paperwork reduction is realized and reconciliation issues are diminished. For example, FEMA 325 requires that a work order containing the GPS coordinates, physical address AND digital photographic evidence for each limb for which reimbursement is requested. By using a per tree basis, only one (1) documented limb is required. Secondly, as to leaning trees classified as eligible, FEMA 325 suggests a graduated scale ie 6" to 12 ", 12" to 24" etc. The instant pricing reflects an average price. Typically, TAG charges $65.00 for 6" to 12 "; $110.00 for 12" to 24 "; $225.00 for 24" to 36 "; $300.00 for 36" to 48" and; $425.00 for trees over 48 ". It should also be noted that the City will recognize additional savings from the disposal of processed vegetative debris. TAG typically does not deposit clean, processed vegetative debris into the landfills. Most if not all of this debris is recycled. As such, there will be no tipping fees associated with disposal. The above and foregoing is not to be construed as an alternative price proposal but simply a clarification /justification for the pricing as presented. 26 EXHIBIT "C" PROPOSAL FORM FOR RFP #11 -001 CITY OF OCOEE EMERGENCY - DISASTER DEBRIS REMOVAL TERM CONTRACT Estimated Unit Description Unit Quantity* Price* * Total Phase I — collection, hauling to staging site, reduction Loading and Hauling Debris to a TDS Cubic Yard 360 7.18 2,584.80 (Price to include MOT) 1.50 7 5 0 e 0 0 Reduction by Grinding at the TDS Cubic Yard 500 Reduction by Incineration at the TDS Cubic Yard 300 1.35 4 0 5.0 0 Stumps 250.00 2,500.00 24" 48" Diameter stump removal Each 10 ' > 48" Diameter stump removal Each 5 3 5 0.0 0 1,750.00 Sweeping Curb and Gutter Hour 16 65.00 1 , 0 4 0 .0 0 125.00 1,500.00 Vacuum Inlets Hour 12 Removal of Hanging Limbs (> 2" @ break) Each 100 20.00 2 , 0 0 0.0 0 Leaning Trees (> 6" @ 4.5' above ground) Each 20 175.00 3 , 5 0 0.0 0 Loading and Hauling C &D debris Cubic Yard 270 6. 1 , 6 6 8.6 0 White Goods and Hazardous Each 20 12.0 0 2 4 0.0 0 Household Waste Disposal Freon recovery Unit • 10 1 2 0 0 1 2 0.0 0 Phase II — loading of reduced material, final disposal Loading and Hauling Reductions to a Final Disposition.

Part and parcel of every plan will be the development of the various appendices which necessarily includes an overall, comprehensive Debris Management Plan. While various templates are available for the outline of the plan, each and every jurisdiction has peculiar demographics, geography, hydrology and history which will affect not only the type of threat to be considered but also the nature and type of debris, the extent of damage that could be encountered and Pre -event mitigation efforts. For example, while most coastal communities could be concerned with beach erosion and restoration, some coastal communities could be more concerned with marsh restoration and so forth. Our goal, at TAG Grinding Services, Inc., is to address each and every community as a blank slate, building a response and debris management plan tailored specifically to that client. While there may be significant similarities in plans, care is taken to ensure that all areas are specifically addressed. Further, any plan intended to be used as a basis for FEMA reimbursement must also incorporate the essential elements of FEMA 325, 44 CFR Chapter 13, EM 385 -1 -1 and the methodology outlined within the National Response Framework and the principles of the NIMS /ICS System. In the paragraphs that follow, various phases of operations will be discussed which include Pre -Event Planning, Mobilization, Emergency Road Clearance (Push), Debris Removal Operations and Close Out. Part 2: Pre event Planning: City of Ocoee, Florida Any discussion of pre -event planning must commence with identification of demographic and other features requiring special treatment. At the outset of this discussion, it is important to realize that the planning to be discussed necessarily excludes properties of historical significance whether or not listed on the National Register of Historic Places. These would include, for example, the Ocoee Christian Church and the Withers- McGuire House as well as numerous other homes and sites that constitute a significant link to the City's, and this Country's historical past. Each of these will therefore require special planning beyond typical parameters with close coordination with the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO). Secondly, the City is comprised of some 14 square miles (13.2 Land) with a population of approximately 31,000 as of the 2006 census representing a significant growth pattern since the 2000 census. It is traversed by U.S. Highways 17/441 as well as minor rail. The Federal Highway Administration, Interstate Commerce Commission and the State Department of Transportation, at a minimum, are obviously key stakeholders in the discussion. Pre -event planning must therefore include these agencies as well as any Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City, the County and these respective agencies. Likewise, Form 1273 for federally assisted roads must be considered and made part of any debris contract. Recent rulings by the FHWA make it clear that absent Form 1273 reimbursement for services are jeopardized. 28 Third, as mentioned above, it is also abundantly clear that the City enjoys a rich historical past. As such, care must be taken to preserve these treasures and the historical legacy they represent. Special procedures under FEMA 325 and the NIMS /ICS framework enable assistance. ICS 253 provides excellent insight as to how to prepare pre -event for the proper care, maintenance and recovery of these treasures. With this background in mind, specific goals and milestones require development in the following areas: 1. Negotiating and establishing MOU's where necessary to ensure that all state, federal and federally assisted roads are accounted for and prioritized for initial clearing operations (ie Push) and final clearing /debris removal. Included within such discussions should be drainage ditch operations, tree trimming /removal and all other right of way issues. Areas of responsibility should be clearly defined with close coordination to ensure that there will be no duplication of effort, inadvertent interference or reimbursement issues. 2. The geographical area of the City should be divided into sectors and zones using natural or clearly recognizable man made boundaries. Attached in the exhibit section is a general outline map of the City dividing it into 12 Debris Management Zones. The second is an example of that actually provided to the crews to assist in coordinated debris removal operations and tracking. (Here depicting Zone 2). This map also illustrates debris removal operations post first or second pass whereby maps are developed and provided to the crews to eliminate unnecessary traffic through the zones while at the same time rendering them more proficient. Debris locations are listed by address, type and volume. 3. Private gated communities and businesses are generally excluded from individual assistance /public assistance. Nonetheless, there are situations where such services are reimbursable on a case -by -case basis. Coordination with FEMA pre and post event is critical. In this instance, the majority of the businesses are small, family owned businesses. Post Katrina, FEMA originally denied assistance in removing debris from these businesses even if placed on the right of way. They later recanted recognizing that such entities may also be considered as part of the critical infrastructure component of Public Assistance. 4. Testing and preparation of identified Temporary Debris Staging and Reduction Sites is essential. These sites should are centrally located in each of the primary areas. The sites presently identified are more than adequate for the purposes outlined herein. 29 5. Soil and water samples must be taken and preserved for post event restoration base line requirements. Our concern is that while the area is sufficient in size for debris management purposes the use of more than that required may have a negative and /or unintentional impact on the surrounding area. We would suggest the commencement of grinding /burning and disposal operations immediately after opening the facility to reduce the need for storage space while at the same time reducing the time necessary for closure of the facility(ies).TAG is familiar with and experts at night operations in congested areas. Removal of reduced debris at night also reduces day time traffic issues. 6. Staging areas for relief equipment should also be coordinated at this time. Truck stops will often allow the parking of equipment and resources temporarily to allow for recovery. Here, such staging areas should be along Interstate West of the County. 7. As will be covered later in brief, subcontractor identification is an essential element of any plan. TAG prides itself on the ability to self perform as well as to aggressively recruit local resources and train them to function in a variety of disciplines. A. For example, Evans Tree Work has a workforce of extremely qualified crews. In addition to an on staff certified arborist, each crew has a qualified line clearance tree trimmer, a man certified in aerial rescue, at least one additional man trained to at least apprentice level in aerial rescue, and a man trained in first -aid and CPR. Every bucket truck has a current dielectric test. They are also expert climbers with and without spikes. B. In addition to recruiting local businesses, TAG also recruits local residents to augment its permanent staff. There can be no dispute that local citizens know the area much better than any member of the permanent staff. These personnel will be assigned essential functions such as zone monitors, quality control and augment safety personnel. In addition, clerical staff will be required dependent on the size of the event. C. In addition to its field offices, TAG will generally rent or lease local facilities that are centrally located to provide ease of access and contact as well as coordination. In lieu of such space, TAG will provide its own office space centrally located to the command center. One fundamental tenet espoused by TAG Grinding Services, Inc. is that it is our goal to adhere to the guiding principle of the National Response Framework. That is to help each and every client develop the tools, personnel and skills to become self sufficient when responding to these events. By lending our expertise and training, our clients are prepared to respond to all but the most severe disasters. 8. Identification of alternative disposal methods is also critical. With the ever diminishing landfill space, it is essential that all avenues for disposal be investigated. White goods 30 can be recycled through scrap yards or foreign sale. Vegetative debris can be used as natural barriers for wetland restoration, biofuel, landfill cover and under power lines. Ash from burning of vegetative debris can also be used for nourishment of farmland. During Hurricane Ike project, TAG processed over 850,000 cubic yards of vegetative debris, reduced it by grinding and recycled every chip. Not a single piece of vegetative debris was disposed of in a landfill. In coastal areas, dunes devastated by the storm can be restored using a base of chips covered with recycled (cleaned or sifted) sand. 9. Documentation and information sharing are also key elements of the pre -event phase. New concepts and ideas are routinely communicated throughout the life of the contract. During pre -event planning, changes required by these ever evolving conditions are incorporated into the response framework. 10. Community relations and Public Awareness education are frequently overlooked. TAG works closely with the Public Information Officer, the client and local media sources providing public information regarding disaster recovery operations. Identification of the various types of debris and proper segregation by the public can greatly reduce recovery time while at the same time ensuring the safety of critical infrastructure elements and addressing compliance issues with both state and federal environmental agencies. A depiction of proper debris placement techniques which can be copied and disseminated as part of the public awareness and preparedness program is located in the exhibit section. 11. Command center operations are also discussed at this time. TAG has the capability to provide temporary command center operations using a variety of communication modems and expeditionary offices that can accommodate even the largest of events. Given the likelihood of lost communications and power, it would be prudent to establish an absent command post out of harm's way until the situation sufficiently allows for the center to return. 12. Communications interoperability is critical to any recovery operation. These concerns are specifically addressed through unparalleled redundancy. In addition to standard, conventional phone lines, TAG's crews and clients are in direct communication through the use of cell phones, two -way radios and satellite communications systems that have been time tested for effectiveness. Close coordination and testing with our clients' systems ensures constant, reliable and effective communications throughout the mission. 13. The monitoring agency selected to oversee the mission must be part of the pre -event planning phase. Core personnel of the agency are in direct contact throughout the pre - event and mobilization phase as it is their responsibility to certify all hauling units and equipment prior to its use in recovery operations. As such, these personnel must be present prior to impact to begin the certification process as soon as possible after danger has passed. Many of our clients use their own personnel for this purpose 31 immediately after an event. Should this be the case, TAG will provide training on the certification process in strict adherence to FEMA 385 and EM 385 -1 -1. Upon arrival of the monitoring agency, these vehicles should be re- certified to avoid possible reimbursement issues. 14. Collateral issues are also discussed. Emergency power, fuel, water, food, temporary housing, sanitary facilities and servicing, portable lift stations, emergency pumps and other such issues are discussed to ensure maximum preparedness to meet any and all contingencies. 15. Finally, POD's (Points of Distribution) are discussed. IS 26, a new on line course offered by the FEMA Independent Study Program, offers insight into the planning, stocking and processing of relief supplies to the residents. In sum, TAG Grinding Services, Inc. provides comprehensive services throughout the pre -event planning phase at no cost to the client. Through annual visits, participation in training exercises and ongoing information sharing TAG provides key benefits that are unique in the industry. Part 3: Mobilization As presented earlier in brief, TAG Grinding Services, Inc. has an extensive inventory of equipment and trained personnel ready to meet any request for services. In addition to its own resources, TAG has endeavored over the years to develop a subcontractor base unparalleled in the industry. Strategically located throughout the United States, these trained, professional and dedicated crews stand at the ready to render assistance if and when called upon to do so. Even in the worst scenarios, crews are available within or near the impacted area to render immediate assistance. Upon execution of the pre -event contract, TAG immediately begins the process of identifying, contacting and recruiting crews in or near the jurisdictional area. Once recruited and committed, these crews are then trained in the myriad of disciplines necessary to become an effective member of the team. Included within these disciplines is crew composition, proper PPE, safety equipment, insurance requirements, loading techniques, tarping requirements, first aid, emergency contact information and so forth. During this training period, TAG also provides necessary information to facilitate smooth ramp up. For example, the crews are notified of the contingency at least five days before projected impact and provided data packets which include area maps, rally points, projected check in stations, staging areas, contact information and the parameters of the mission. Our trained staff constantly monitors weather conditions including projected storm path. Contact is made with the client three to five days prior to impact and pre - mobilization efforts commence. The project manager, or his deputy, makes plans to arrive in the impact area prior to landfall in order to be readily available to the Incident Commander to facilitate rapid modifications to the overall plan in the face of ever changing dynamics. It is also during this 32 time that final check out and testing of expeditionary offices, equipment, communications and supplies is conducted. Within twenty -four hours of impact, the Project Manager /Operational Manager arrives at the Emergency Command Center prepared to hunker down with necessary personnel. Contact with the monitoring agency is accomplished and finalization of startup procedures and locations are verified. Below is a sample template depicting projected timelines based on the nature and severity of the event. Caution is urged in that it is a template only and therefore cannot possibly anticipate any and all contingencies. The forward speed of the storm, storm size and intensity, angle of approach, tidal data and precise location of landfall all affect the dynamics of the operation and accompanying response efforts. In addition to the mobilization template to follow, there are two additional templates located in the exhibit section. The first depicts necessary actions to be taken in anticipation of an event. The second template depicts actions taken post event with established timelines for completion of the various phases and tasks necessary for a successful debris operation. The established timelines are by no set in concrete terms. They are guidelines which, by nature, are fluid conforming to the particular parameters of a recovery operation. Secondly, as the project develops, the timelines are adjusted to better illustrate the actual parameters under review. „. . , .4,:.m 1 1 1 1 Within ii H otns'j 7 5% 50% 50% — 35 % 1 4, 1 1 (Within48Hours j 100% 75% 50% — 35% • 1 • (VIii2Hours I 90% 75% — 50 % 1 1 iW,t1#1196:Hqurs. `i 90% 75 1 1 C 1tf X00% n 1 Week j 100% _ 1 1 C 100 % 100% l C ftf�ir} 31Neeks y�� 100 % 33 As stated earlier, the changing dynamics are the very reason that the Project Manager and /or Operations Manager are present at the ECC prior to landfall. For example, when Katrina struck New Orleans as a Category 3, the levees weren't immediately breached. Further, all of the access highways were under water from the storm surge. As a result, the entire template prepared for initial operations had to be scaled back and delayed to enable personnel and equipment to access the area. In the Sections to follow, TAG outlines the initial road clearance operations or "Push" and the Right of Way Debris Removal Operations. Part 4: Emergency Road Clearance Operations (Push) It is imperative that the monitoring agency is present prior to landfall with sufficient personnel to accommodate the check in of the crews necessary to begin plan execution. All trucks /hauling units must be certified according to the guidelines established in FEMA 325, the Debris Management Guide. Failure to adequately certify the units will adversely affect reimbursement. This is also true of equipment owned and /or operated by the jurisdiction itself. Road clearance operations necessarily must be closely coordinated with other responding agencies. A memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the local Department of Transportation is a primary example of the reason for such coordination. All stakeholders should participate, not only in the overall plan preparation pre- event, but should also participate in modifications to the plan made necessary by the changing dynamics and current situation. TAG has developed a unique system of addressing road clearance operations. Since time is of the essence during this period, crews are dispatched to hospitals, fire stations, police stations, rescue units, medical clinics and EMS units to immediately begin clearance operations. At the same time that these expeditionary units are being deployed, additional clearing crews begin the process of opening major ingress and egress routes. Unlike other contractors, TAG also deploys self loading equipment with the clearing crews. In doing so, debris is removed from the ROW routes reducing line of sight safety concerns. Crew data sheets, in numbered sequence, are issued to each crew recording the names of all personnel on each crew, the number and types of equipment and the hours worked. The monitoring agency should be responsible for recording the data and processing it daily to insure full reimbursement under the FEMA Public Assistance Program. This process continues for the first 70 hours post Notice to Proceed or until terminated by the client or extended by specific authorization from FEMA. As with all aspects of such an operation, safety is of paramount concern. Crew safety meetings are conducted and documented daily before operations commence. After action meetings are also conducted daily to address specific safety concerns that arose during the 34 operational period and are susceptible to repetition. All safety violations are investigated and recorded with corrective /disciplinary action taken documented in the crew record. Only the safest crews will be permitted to participate and matriculate to the next phase -Right of Way Debris Removal Operations. Further, it is also important to note that it is during this phase that preparations are made for Debris Operations. During the Push, TDSR site layouts are perfected along with Fire Action Plans, Egress and Ingress routes cleared and so forth. Temporary towers or lifts are installed at the disposal sites while construction of the permanent towers begins. This enables a seamless transition from road clearance operations to debris removal operations. Part 5: Debris Operations Generally speaking, debris operations are restricted to the publicly owned and maintained right of way. (FEMA 325 and FEMA Disaster Assistance Policy 9823.13) "Generally, debris removal from private property following a disaster is the responsibility of the individual property owner. However, large scale disasters may deposit enormous quantities of debris on private property over a large area resulting in widespread immediate threats to the public at large. In these instances, the State and local governments may need to enter private property to remove debris to: eliminate threats to life, public health and safety; eliminate immediate threats of significant damage to improve property or ensure economic recovery of the community to the benefit of the community at large." (44CFR206.224) As mentioned earlier, crews assigned to the debris mission must meet or exceed significant criteria for eligibility. For example, all drivers must be CDL licensed; all vehicles must be USDOT registered and approved; all vehicles and equipment must be insured; all vehicles and equipment must contain a first aid kit and fire suppression equipment; all equipment and vehicles must have an audible backup alarm system tied directly into the transmission; all vehicles and equipment must pass a rigorous safety inspection; all assigned personnel must be covered under a worker's compensation insurance policy; in addition to vehicle insurance, a policy of general liability and property damage insurance must be in place. Finally, all trucks /hauling units must be tarped. All crews involved in the debris mission are required to work seven (7) days per week during daylight hours or as otherwise directed by the Client or his authorized representative. Tree crews generally follow the same guidelines insofar as equipment and insurance requirements. However, additional requirements are placed on the personnel. For example, each crew must possess a qualified line clearance tree trimmer certified by ANSI or ENRAT. Each crew must have at least one member certified in aerial rescue and at least one other person certified as an apprentice or greater in aerial rescue. Further, each crew must have at least one member certified in first aid /CPR. Finally, each bucket truck must have a current dielectric test certifying its safety and serviceability. 35 Close coordination with FEMA is required with any aspect of the Public Assistance Program. While private gated communities and businesses are generally ineligible for debris removal services, services may be provided pursuant to 44CFR206.224 as outlined hereinabove. Even then, unimproved property, including farmland, is rarely approved for services. Based on the above and foregoing, the general parameters of any debris mission would include debris removal from designated rights of way to include debris placed on the right of way by the landowners of improved property along the right of way. As discussed in pre -event planning, each jurisdiction is divided into areas, sectors and /or zones. TAG prides itself on its flexibility and ability to draw and or modify zones in accordance with the Clients needs. For example, the use of major highways, railroads, rivers and streams and other such land marks may facilitate an easy division of the jurisdictional area. However, the Client may desire to establish work areas based on council districts, zip codes or a variety of other parameters. Regardless of the actual parameters employed, TAG will prepare the necessary maps that are provided to the crews defining specific work assignments and responsibilities. By using the mapping system, Clients are able to track the progress of recovery by each street, zone and /or district. Once a crew is assigned to a specific area, sector or zone, it remains their responsibility regardless of the number of scheduled passes. The pattern of passes continues until a declaration is issued by the monitoring agency and approved by the Client that debris operations are complete. With each mission, TAG requires that maintenance crews remain available to perform debris removal from areas designated complete until final close out of the mission. As just mentioned, TAG provides maintenance crews for the purpose of removing debris from areas previously declared complete. As part of that service, TAG employees on board computer systems to track and map debris piles. For example, as an area supervisor passes through a completed zone and observes debris, he merely needs to "click" at the address and type in the nature of debris and quantity of debris. A map tag will appear and be retained for later use. At the end of the day, the maps are then down loaded and printed and crews dispatched to the specific addresses where the debris is located. This procedure maximizes productivity while at the same time minimizing traffic in congested residential neighborhoods. TAG is well known for its ability to manage and organize its assets in performance of the debris mission. TAG employs the National Incident Management System and Incident Command System unity of command and change of command principles. More particularly, each area or sector, defined geographically, will have a designated manager or supervisor in charge. The operations manager, who reports to the project manager, oversees these supervisors. The area supervisors are responsible for the crews working in their designated sectors or zones. While NIMS /ICS suggest a ratio of 1 to 5 or 1 to 7, the USACE recommended 1 to 10 crews per supervisor has been adopted in debris missions. Each of these supervisors will also have training in quality control and safety and will be equipped with substantial communication capability. 36 It can be anticipated that work crews will encounter various types of debris. Included within the scope of any debris mission are white goods, electronic waste, small engines, household hazardous waste, putrecible waste, dead animals, medical waste, and a number of other specialty wastes. Many of TAG's personnel have extensive training and experience in the handling and transport of hazardous materials. As will be discussed later in the Safety section, all crew foremen will report to a designated area prior to the commencement of work each day. At its conclusion the foreman are required to inspect all trucks and equipment for safety issues and take any corrective action required. Further, all personnel are inspected to insure the proper PPE and required credentials are in place. It is possible under the Public Assistance Program that right of entry onto private property may be authorized by FEMA. In that event, specialty "PPDR" or "ROE" crews will be developed and employed in accordance with the desires of the Client and within the confines of the project worksheet approved by FEMA. It is important to understand that before performing any work on private property, a proper survey and documentation of the hazard is necessary to ensure eligibility for reimbursement. Photographic evidence of the condition of the property prior to and after services are rendered are essential. One other aspect of the debris mission is an effective public announcement and public awareness system. As early as possible, and using multiple media, the public information officer should publish guidelines regarding the segregation and placement of debris on the right of way. Debris should always be placed, whenever possible, between the sidewalk and the curb. It should never be placed close to the trunks of trees, on or close to mailboxes, on or on top of fire hydrants or on water meters. TAG can assist in preparing flyers, brochures and public assistance announcements in this regard. (See Pre -Event Planning Section) Documentation is critically important during all phases of a disaster mission. However, it is during the debris operations period that the greatest volume of paperwork is produced. Each and every hauling unit must be certified and every load of debris must have a verified load ticket, issued at the point of origin, and verified as being eligible debris. Once at the disposal facility, the "Call" (percentage load) is made and the final entries on the ticket are made. This becomes the permanent record for the load. FEAM 325 requires that all tickets be completed and verified by the "Applicant" or the applicant's designated representative. FEMA generally requires a minimum four part ticket with every ticket sequentially numbered to avoid duplication and aid in reconciliation. Tickets also serve additional functions such as identifying crews and drivers who preformed debris removal services at or near a certain address on a specific day. Should a claim for damages arise, the mapping system identifies which crews were assigned to the area or sector and the tickets pinpoint the specific crew, truck and driver. At the present time, TAG, in conjunction with its partners, Sprint /Nextel and Act Soft, is developing a paperless debris management system which will be unparalleled in the industry. 37 As envisioned, jurisdictions will have the capability of self monitoring debris operations reducing costs by as much as sixty (60 %) percent. Our clients will be provided field kits at no cost consisting of poratble communication towers (in the event of total loss of communication capabilities) as well as hand held devices (either Blackberry or Droids). The devices will have all of the applications necessary for debris operations including but not limited to load tickets, leaner /hanger /stump worksheets, truck certifications and so forth. Load data will be electronically transmitted to the tower where load calls will be entered and confirmed. A paper receipt will be printed while at the same time the electronic data will be transmitted to the clients contacts, our data base and the database of the monitor and subcontractor. As a result, our clients will have 100% reconciliation and daily data to track the types of debris, locations and the overall status of the operation. Site Management During the pre -event planning stage, appropriate TDSR sites should have been identified for use in the event of activation. It is recommended that, at a minimum, the following actions be taken prior to the site being placed in service. 1. A photographic and /or video record of the condition of the site prior to activation should be made and maintained. 2. Basic features such as buildings, fences, culverts and landscaping should be documented and noted. 3. Random soil samples should be taken throughout the site with the area from which the sample was taken documented and retained. 4. Random ground water samples should be recorded and retained in the same way. The site plan and fire action plan should be developed and presented once the TDSR site has been identified. The plan will be submitted to the Client for approval and will include, at a minimum the following data: 1. An overall site plan; 2. Identification of ingress and egress routes; 3. Traffic plan both inside and outside the site; 4. Inspection tower(s); 5. Storage; 6. Debris reduction area; 7. Safety and exclusion zones; 8. The site activation date and project hours of operation; 9. Site management team with 24 hour contact information. In some circumstances, it may be possible to encounter hazardous, toxic and /or radiological waste. If in fact such materials are encountered, TAG will construct a containment area, lined with impermeable material and constructed with a berm to prevent contamination 38 of the surrounding area. The containment area will be approximately 25 feet on all sides with hay bales, staked in place, serving as an additional safety berm. The entire area will be lined with heavy gauged plastic in order to provide a waterproof barrier. Because runoff entering the containment area could compromise its integrity, site grading will be conducted to eliminate the threat. Finally, additional heavy gauge plastic, sufficient to cover the entire area, will be provided to prevent rain from entering the containment. As the debris is collected and stored, a locally licensed HTRW contractor, license in conformity with all applicable state, federal and local regulations will remove the material. HTRW is often confused with household hazardous waste in that the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCELA) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) often refer to listed materials as hazardous substances. Household hazardous waste includes, but is not limited to waste oil, waste fuel, paints, chemicals, antifreeze, pesticides, spray cans, unidentified liquids, common household cleaning supplies, motor oil, lubricants, transmission and brake fluids, propane tanks, gasoline, diesel fuel, batteries and oxygen bottles. Most if not all of these items do not fall under CERCELA or RCRA. However, there is some cross over. For example, industrial waste, naturally recurring radioactive materials, products and waste of the oil and gas industry, herbicides and pesticides will fall under that guidance. TAG is careful to err on the side of caution and seek the assistance of a local HTRW contractor. In this instance, however, HHW is to be left at the curb. Immediately following is a general outline and diagram of a typical TDSR site provided for your review and consideration. While FEMA 325 recommends a 100 acre site, practice and experience has shown that sites of seven (7) acres or more will suffice in most situations. Of course, the exact nature of the storm will dictate not only site size but space allocations as well. How the debris will be reduced will also impact the layout. For example, grinding generally requires 300 feet from any residential or commercial structure and public right of way. Contrariwise, open burning requires approximately one quarter of a mile from residential area. These requirements will vary by state. However, safety also plays a significant role in the decision making process. Tower construction actually begins during the initial phases at the pre- determined site locations. TAG follows the USACE specifications as follows: The platform floor elevation will be ten (10) feet above existing ground elevation. The 8' by 8' floor area will be constructed using 2" by 8" joints, 16" OC with % inch plywood. The Platform will be supported by a minimum of four 6" by 6" posts. The platform will contain a 4' high wall constructed of 2" by 4" studs covered with 1 /2 "plywood to protect the interior. The area of the floor will be covered with a roof with a minimum of 6' 6" of headroom below the ceiling /roof support joists. Steps, with a handrail, will be provided for access to the tower. All towers will be firmly anchored to the ground. Restroom facilities will be placed at all TDSR Sites conveniently located for use by site personnel. A representative depiction will be found later in brief. 39 C &D Public Disposal Area Construction and Demolition Debris Offices Vegetative Debris Mulch Ash Pit Tub Grinders Air Curtain Burners The above reflects a typical layout of a TDSR Site illustrating the ingress and egress routes and general traffic flow. Both the C & D and Vegetative drop off points are wide enough to accommodate multiple deliveries of material simultaneously. Vehicles are stopped at the tower (T) and the loads are judged. They then proceed to the designated area for unloading. A second tower is sometimes placed at the exit for quality control purposes. Debris Reduction Depending on environmental conditions, a full range of debris reduction capabilities can be realized. For example, grinding operations, a mainstay of TAG Grinding Services, Inc., generally reduces the volume of debris by a ratio of 4 to 1 on average. Incineration, on the other hand generally provides for a 9 or 10 to 1 reduction this is regardless of incineration method. TAG provides a full range of incineration services from controlled burns, open pit burning, air curtain incineration and the use of incinerators. Disposal of the residue of grinding varies as well. Depositing the mulch in a landfill is the least desirable method of disposal. TAG prefers to recycle the debris for use as bio -fuel, paper and wood products, landscaping and soil creation to name but a few. Ash also can be recycled by making it available to local farmers and recycling centers for soil generation and nourishment. It is important to recognize that regardless of the method of reduction, no debris other than vegetative can enter the process. 40 DELORME DeLorme Street Atlas USA® 2010 _- LL .. --..: Y .1,.: , ,_ . , a !!!!,.', ' 1 I \ .S. !
