E-7Proven solutionsResponsive and dependable performance City of Sunny Isles Beach RFQ No. 20-07-01: Continuing Professional Consulting Services (CCNA) COVID-19 Health & Safety Measures CES Consultants is focused on and committed to maintaining a safe and healthy environment for all staff, clients and the community. With the spread of the coronavirus or “COVID-19,” a respiratory disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, we must remain vigilant in mitigating the outbreak during this Declared National Emergency. CES has implemented every day preventative actions, to include providing education on protecting oneself from respiratory illness and coronavirus symptoms following Centers of Disease Control, CDC, guidelines along with local U.S. health authorizes. Effective immediately, CES has made the following changes in an effort to minimize the spread of COVID-19 through person-to-person contact. 1. All employees, subcontractors and subconsultants are to inform their CES Project Manager immediately if an employee who has come in close contact with a CES employee within the last fourteen (14) days: a. is experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms; b. tests positive for COVID-19 or has been told by their health care providers to presume that they have COVID-19 or a member of the employee’s household tests positive for COVID-19 or has been told by their health care providers to presume that they have COVID-19; or c. has been exposed to an individual who exhibits COVID-19 symptoms, tests positive for COVID-19, or has been told by their health care providers to presume that they have COVID-19. 2. A COVID-19 Health & Safety REQUIREMENTS flyer is distributed to CES and City employees. This flyer establishes the behavior and activities expected by all project and field employees. As part of CES’s efforts to protect personnel at project sites, this information will be made available to the project team’s employees. CES will make every effort to manage the risk of this public health crisis and will coordinate and comply with the City’s requirements. Construction Site Safety Construction site safety is typically the responsibility of the Contractor. CES will ensure that a Health and Safety Plan (HASP) has been developed and accepted, or is being followed, for each construction project as warranted and that everyone working on the site and all visitors follow the site HASP. We will also require the Contractor to secure the site every day before leaving to keep unwanted visitors away from equipment and tools. In addition to the site’s HASP and based on the current and future conditions and requirements related to COVID-19, CES will monitor and enforce applicable social distancing, use of PPE, and the guidelines and requirements set forth by the CDC, State of Florida, Pinellas County and/ or the City of St. Petersburg that are in effect throughout the course of the project’s construction. CES will also develop and/or validate the Emergency Response Plan (ERP), which will address responses to/from conditions or events that would impact the site workers, the public or the environment, specifically the City’s water supply and the continuous operation of the wastewater collection system, force mains and pump stations. The ERP will be kept onsite and both CES and FMC will be responsible for its availability, training and application if needed. The ERP will also be referenced in the HASP and communicated during daily/ weekly site safety meetings. CES takes safety very seriously—it is an absolute on every construction related project. CES will identify or appoint a Health and Safety Manager for each project, and he/she will guide and participate in the development and presentation of the HASP and ERP.
