2. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH a. The firm's thorough understanding of the scope of work. In order to accomplish the scope of work RAS will use its resources to get the job done. This will include dump trucks, equipment, and personnel. The plan of action is for RAS to conduct and/or monitor partners, affiliates, subcontractors and personnel in order to maximize productivity in the debris disposal operation. The RAS Team is also familiar with the FEMA bureaucratic process which can be a guidance of intangible benefit. b. The firms identification of any significant projects issues. A signi ficant issue RAS has in question is the disposal site location. There are limited locations near Sunny Isles Beach where debris can be stored and destroyed. This is a unique situation because if the debris must be hauled to the Cities of Miami or Doral it will cause for the debris removal process to be extended and more expensive. A possible solution for the City of Sunny Isles Beach may be to consider using Southern Waste Systems located in Dania as a disposal site. This location is convenient due to the traffic issues in Miami and the overall interest of the City of Sunny Isles Beach. c. The practicality of the firm's approach. The Ras team stands by the most effective approach, meaning that each situation is different and that there is no standard. In the past, what has given the best results is to have lots of communication, all personnel ready at key locations and consistent monitoring of all aspects of the operation. Still, the RAS team is flexible and open to new ideas or strategies. 3. A V AILABILITY OF STAFF a. The firm's ability to have staff readily available for the project. In the event of a natural disaster RAS is prepared to dedicate its staff solely to this project. When Hurricane Katrina passed South Florida, almost immediately, the RAS team was in the right of ways cleaning up debris. All of the personnel needed at that particular time was gathered and put to work following the storm. Presently, RAS is providing 60 trucks and 8 crews that are readily available in case of a natural disaster.
