<br />Subcontractor Plan
<br />TFR Enterprises, Inc. maintains a current, constantly updated database of subcontractors by location,
<br />classification, equipment resources, and capability. The working relationship with this reservoir of close-
<br />knit subcontractors has been so successful that a majority of them, following a disaster event, will not offer
<br />their services to, or accept an offer from, another contractor until first consulting with TFR’s management
<br />personnel as to their subcontracting needs. A network of communication and contact of these subcontractors
<br />in the event of a disaster has been divided among the TFR management team in advance, which has enabled
<br />the company to contact, activate, and mobilize as many as 630 pieces of equipment in 30 days as the
<br />company did following Hurricane Laura in 2020. These subcontractors are considered as much a part of
<br />the disaster response team as are the full-time employees of TFR.
<br />
<br />Local and Disadvantaged Business Subcontracting
<br />At TFR, we firmly believe that local contractors provide the most cost-effective measure to complete the
<br />contract requirements while aiding the local economy after the impact of a disaster. TFR plans to utilize
<br />local subcontractors to the extent to which they are available and properly licensed. TFR shall exhaust any
<br />avenues to obtain qualified local subcontractors to meet the needs of the community while infusing the
<br />local economy with needed revenue. As such, TFR is committed to identifying the local subcontractors
<br />qualified and prepared to support the community on the path to recovery.
<br />
<br />During the past three (3) decades, TFR has actively promoted the participation of Small Business
<br />Enterprises (SBE), Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), Women-Owned Business Enterprises
<br />(WBE), Minority-Owned Business Enterprises (MBE), and Veteran-Owned Business Enterprises (VBE),
<br />in the performance of disaster-related debris removal projects. Born from a small tree service company in
<br />1954, TFR was a long-time small business-enabled firm working in Memphis, Tennessee. Renamed TFR
<br />and incorporated in 1989, owner, Tipton Rowland, considers this sector of the industry to be a vital and
<br />reliable source of debris management resources recalling his days as a small business owner himself. As
<br />such, TFR executives are directly involved in the achievement of SBE’s and DBE’s plans and goals by the
<br />project.
