GULFp� CrowderGulf 1. ULF RFP Disaster Debris Management and Disposal Services 18-04-02 City of Sunny Isles Beach, FL Truck and Equipment Considerations: The number of debris hauling trucks assigned to each crew will be determined by the time required to transport a load of debris to the disposal site, dump the load and return to the loading site. Sufficient trucks or trailer hauling equipment will be assigned to each crew to preclude having idle loading equipment. If hauling equipment is found idle and frequently waiting to be loaded,some of the hauling equipment will be reassigned to other crews. Crews will be adjusted as needed to maximize the use of all trucks and equipment. Often on the first pass of debris removal work, large stumps, tree trunks and other heavy debris must be left for loading by larger more specialized equipment. CrowderGulf will make every attempt to"Clean As You Go". However,there are situations when the need for expedient debris removal precludes achieving this standard completely.As required and directed,specialized equipment I will be mobilized on subsequent passes to handle the removal of stumps, other large debris and backfill of stump holes. Truck Drivers will not be issued a load ticket until: • The tailgate is secured to prevent debris from falling out of the truck while in route to disposal site • Trimming of overhanging limbs and debris from around the truck or trailer is complete. This includes debris protruding from the truck bed that may pose a risk of utility line damage. (Actual height depends on local line installation height) • The debris hauling container is loaded as completely(fully)as safely possible Once the load ticket is issued, the truck driver will safely move the vehicle out of the loading zone and into normal traffic flow in route to the disposal site or to a Temporary Debris Management Site(TDMS). Hauling Debris The hauling or transport process begins at the time the truck or trailer leaves the "loading zone". Safe transport of the debris material to the disposal site becomes the drivers' primary concern. Drivers remain responsible for their loads until safely dumped j at the disposal site. All drivers will follow the most direct and safe pre-planned route to the nearest disposal site.Particular attentionto safety isrequited in the areas near school buses, school zones and other areas of pedestrian foot traffic. Tarps or load covers are applied as required by local or state regulations. On arriving at the disposal site, the driver will maneuver the hauling container for inspection by a City representative in the i . inspection tower.The load will be"called" by the City representative estimating the percent of the full volume or by estimating the number of cubic yards short of full volume. Drivers working for CrowderGulf are instructed never to disagree or complain about the load"call".Any concerns the driver has are to be directed to his or her crew foreman or supervisor for resolution. When the debris is safely delivered to the disposal site, it will be mandatory to dump the load only when the truck and trailer are level. This prevents the dangerous hazard of trucks and trailers tipping over. CrowderGulf will employ spotters at the dumpsite to assist drivers in dumping safely. When the dumping process is complete, the driver will maneuver the hauling container back to the inspection tower for a quick check to make sure all debris has been removed during the dumping process.Any debris hung in the truck or trailer bed must be removed before the truck or trailer leaves the disposal site. �i All dumpsites will have a dumpsite manager to supervise and oversee the dayto dayoperations.A safetyofficer will also be onsite P P 9 PP to ensure all safety measures are being executed. Flaggers will be strategically placed at the site to direct traffic flow into and out of the disposal site. Debris Hauling Prerequisites: • Debris will only be transported in trucks or trailers capable of rapidly and mechanically unloading. • No self-load trailers will be used. Exceptions to this standard may be necessary to efficiently and safely transport HHW, E- Waste,ACM or white goods. • All trucks and trailers hauling debris must have completed the truck certification process establishing approved volume for the debris-hauling container. 65
