City of Sunny Isles Beach RFP 18-04-02 Disaster Debris Management and Disposal Services ■ Determining Your Force Account Capabilities or When Will I Need Help o FEMA Eligibility—What a"Good" Contractor Will Tell You • This creates further opportunities to develop the relationships between the City staff and Ceres personnel that will help to assure a successful debris management operation, when required. Alert Phase Selected Ceres team members are subscribed to special weather advisories from several different sources. We are aware of the weather. Alert 1: Category I & II Hurricanes When a Category I or II Hurricane's "Cone of Influence" of Projected Impact Area associated with the 3- day forecast, begins to touch the coastline, the Project Manager assigned to the contract will commence Alert 1 activities. Alert 1 activity includes, but is not limited to: • Calling the previously identified representatives of Sunny Isles Beach, and exchanging the most up-to-date contact information each has with the other. • Activating Ceres notification procedures for all subcontractors — operations and administrative services. ■ Contacting and overseeing preparations to make the Project Advance Team ready to deploy. • Assigning a Project Logistics Coordinator to make use of all services possible: including, but not limited to: hotels/motels, gasoline and diesel fuel, catering/restaurants, laundry services, emergency medical services, vehicle and equipment repair shops, and other disaster response and life support services. • Confirming the availability of emergency road clearing crews and equipment, and as local conditions dictate, dispatch them to a secure, pre-positioning site near or within the City's boundaries. Alert 2: Category Ill, IV, or V Hurricane • The same functions are performed as during Alert 1 activity, but they start when the 5-day "Cone of Influence" of Projected Impact Area begins to focus on the City's geographic area. Alert 3: All Other Sudden Impact Events Sudden Impact Events include earthquakes, ice storms, tornados, man-made, technological events, and terrorist activities. These events do not allow for a forecast or pre-positioning the Project Advance Team. Ceres pledges to the City to have a representative physically present within 12 hours of notification to respond to Sudden Impact Events. Mobilization Phase Ceres is expert at rapidly mobilizing its team and its equipment as well as key subcontractors to provide the City with the necessary resources as quickly as possible. Ceres recognizes that in order to minimize the financial damage to a community, cleanup activities must begin rapidly and proceed without delay. For more details, please see proposal Section 8.2. Emergency Roadway Clearance and Debris Removal Phase The following information outlines a generic plan for responding to debris-generating emergencies. Please note that this general summary is not specific to a particular type of disaster event. This phase encompasses the majority of the physical work of the project. It also generates the most records including load tickets and logs of various kinds. This is also the phase where careful planning pays huge dividends. Emergency Road Clearing-Cutting and Pushing Public Right of Ways When emergency road clearing is required, separate crews will be allocated and will be available within hours following an event. Ceres typically mobilizes this equipment pre-event based on weather forecasts. Cut and Push Crews will be prepared to work 24-hour shifts (with rotating personnel). Cut and Push Crew typical configuration is: • One front-end loader 4/1 bucket(or equivalent) with experienced and qualified operator , • Up to two transport trucks approximately 30 cubic yards with operator(s) • CcEnE Tab 8 Project Understanding and Technical Approach ENVIRONMENTAL Section 1 Debris Management Operations Plan Page 8-4
