RFP No. 18-04-03: Disaster Debris Monitoring Services& Financial Recovery Assistance 1 5. Qualifications and Requirements Pre-Qualification Criteria Compliance Tidal Basin specializes in disaster consulting services with a specialization in the FEMA public assistance (PA) program, hazard mitigation, insurance, and other funding sources. We have an existing contractual relationship with the City to provide these services along with debris monitoring and emergency management support services. We welcome the opportunity to continue to provide the City with top-of-the-line services in the areas of debris.monitoring and financial disaster recovery and planning. To do this, we are heading up a team that includes the following subcontractors, both of whom are leaders in their respective fields: Florida Disaster Consultants and Buffalo Computer Graphics. Details about each of these partners can be found in the body of the proposal, which details our collective understanding of the services to be provided and underscores our team's commitment to performing the requested work. The Tidal Basin team has decades of hands-on experience in Florida — including FEMA PA preparedness and recovery work we have done for the City, Martin County, Lee County, University of Miami, and Monroe County, among others—and maintains a strong regional presence with offices in Fort Lauderdale, Melbourne, Orlando, and Tavernier. The Tidal basin team maintains a staff of subject matter experts consisting of more than 200 trained and experienced debris, planning, response, recovery and mitigation staff and a seasoned management team to coordinate and oversee their efforts. We are unique in that we deliver a total response and recovery solution that includes debris . monitoring and management, planning and training, and strong expertise with the funding sources that make it all possible, including FEMA public assistance (PA), FHWA, and other disaster relief funding.With the total cost of debris cleanup operations typically accounting for over 27% of post-disaster recovery costs according to FEMA, our unsurpassed understanding of the FEMA PA and FHWA-ER programs is a major difference between ours and all other competitors. We also possess an unsurpassed understanding of the issues that have arisen during the implementation and interpretation of the Sandy Recovery Improvement Act of 2013 (SRIA). Due specifically to our involvement with Hurricane Sandy in New York and New Jersey and Alaska's recent disasters, we are current on the various nuances and policy changes associated with the PA program, including the implications of the SRIA; Alternative Procedures Pilot Programs for Debris Removal, Permanent Work, and Dispute Resolution; and FEMA Disaster Assistance Policy (DAP) 9525.9 Section 324 Management Costs and Direct Administrative Costs. Our understanding and experience will be leveraged on behalf of the City to anticipate issues, maximize reimbursement, and minimize misunderstandings. TIDAL BASIN. Every Catastrophe,Every Recovery 9
