RAS understands the relationship <br />between local governments and the Federal Emergency Management <br />Administration (FEMA), when responding to a disaster situation and strictly <br />manages their clean up operations so that all FEMA requirements are met. <br />Furthermore, RAS has grown in this particular line of work by starting from the <br />bottom and working up the ladder of success. The RAS team can remove an <br />average of3,500 cubic yards of debris daily from the public right of way due to <br />their efforts and experience. <br /> <br />b. The project manager's specific technical competency. <br />Mr. Pedro Pelaez, President ofRAS, has been involved in emergency disaster <br />services since 1992. Mr. Pelaez has an impressive back round when it comes to <br />debris removal. His managerial skills and ideas were excersized in many <br />occassions. For example, after Hurricane Andrew he operated temporary disposal <br />sites where an estimated 2 million cubic yards of debris was reduced by burning. <br />A combination of 5 underground and above ground air curtain burners plus 5 <br />chipping operations were used. Mr. Pelaez simultaneously managed a construction <br />debris seperation site and oversaw the demolition and cleanup of devestated <br />homes condemned by building officials. Several of the government officials <br />served by Mr. Pelaez recognized the excellence of his service with letter of <br />appreciation and commendation. (See Attached) <br />
