including, but not limited to, twenty-five (25) self-loaders with trailers, six (6) Diamond Z Tub Grinders, two (2) horizontal grinders, 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. TFR’s maintenance crew augments the daily responsibilities of our employees and subcontractors for fulfilling any duties to the City/County by securing the vitality of our equipment. With a 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 affected 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 a strong, positive working relationship with our clients, suppliers, and our countless subcontractors. This service-minded attitude drives the business and fortifies the strong relationships TFR maintains with our subcontractors. Therefore, such relationships maintained with small businesses, minority-owned, and numerous other companies allow TFR to fulfill the requirements that may be mandated by Government Representatives and other Government Agencies. 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. TFR plans to utilize local subcontractors to the extent to which they are available and properly licensed. TFR shall exhaust any 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 is 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 locally. This practice is considered good business because of the advantages received by contracting with local companies residing in the affected area. Several factors 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 while allowing the City/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 by implementing the Local Subcontracting Plan listed below: 1. Establish a local telephone line so that it may be contacted easier than calling long-distance cell phone numbers. 2. The Company will post signs and telephone numbers at the entrance to its worksite and its field office. 3. Subcontracting opportunities are advertised by local newspapers/online. 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 task order and alerted as to the type of products and service the contract requires, and the company’s local telephone number and address are registered with them, not only for subcontracting but for short- term employment opportunities ITB No. 23-04-01 Disaster Debris Management and Disposal Services 96
