<br /> <br /> <br />Establish Field Office Communications <br />• Mobile telephones and Company radios will be the main source of communication in the field office until <br />local landline telephones can be installed. All TFR truck drivers are equipped with smartphones. In <br />addition, all TFR managers, supervisors, and foremen are equipped with mobile telephones for outside <br />communication to coordinate the mobilization and dispatching of equipment as well as being available <br />to the client. <br />• All Company administrative personnel, including the Operations Manager, have electronic linkage <br />capability for cellular telephones, satellite communications, Internet access, and fax access. <br />• Records and communications are made using a network of personal desktop and laptop computers. <br />• As quickly as the equipment is available (local services may be out for a time following a disaster) all <br />major field locations are given at least one local number to facilitate communication with other local <br />Government Agencies, local suppliers, and members of the public. <br />• As soon as the field office is established, office personnel will be available during hours of operation. <br />• Inspection of Equipment before beginning Task Order. All equipment previously dispatched and on hand <br />for debris loading and hauling will be brought into the staging area for a safety inspection, identification, <br />measuring, and numbering before being deployed to any work area. <br />• Each piece of equipment will be inspected, and a written inspection report prepared to denote the results <br />of the inspection. <br />• In addition to the safety inspection checklist for trucks, all vehicles (trucks and trailers) will be inspected <br />for a current license, tags, registration, and insurance. The inspection report will denote the truck owner <br />and the truck driver. A copy of the operator’s driver’s license will be copied and on file. <br />• A determination of driver qualification will be made (i.e., a requirement for a Class A License). <br />• Trucks to be used in hauling debris will be inspected for proper tailgates and proper sideboards or other <br />extensions as well as the previous checklist. <br />• Before a truck will be assigned a number, the inspection report and driver information will be made <br />available for review by a Government Representative, and they shall physically inspect, approve the <br />tailgate and any sideboards or other extensions, and measure the truck for capacity. <br /> <br />Personnel Safety Orientation <br />All Company employees will receive a copy of the Company’s Health and Safety Manual at the time of <br />employment. As part of the Company’s Safety and Occupational Health plan and in compliance with the Accident <br />Prevention Plan, a safety meeting will be held before any personnel is assigned to a task order. <br />• The Company Safety Officer will conduct the meeting in the presence of a Government Representative. <br />• All personal protective equipment required for the assigned task will be checked before personnel are <br />dispatched to the assigned task. <br />• A Personal Emergency Contact List and Map of Key Facilities for emergency conditions will be passed <br />on to all Company and Government field personnel. <br /> <br />Following the Equipment Inspections and Safety Orientation, Truck Measurement, and Numbering, equipment <br />and personnel will be dispatched to the work areas prescribed as a result of meetings between the Project <br />Managers and Government Representatives. <br /> <br />Daily Coordination with Government Representatives <br />The following is an outline of the company’s daily procedures for keeping an informed dialogue between TFR <br />and Government Representatives. <br />• Each debris removal project is assigned a Load and Haul Project Manager. Before the beginning <br />of each Project or Task Order, the Load and Haul Project Manager and the Project Operations <br />Manager will meet with the Government’s Representative to define the scope of work, work area, <br />and any Government priority as to areas included in the Task Order. <br />ITB No. 23-04-01 <br />Disaster Debris Management and Disposal Services <br />82
