ASHBRITT, INC. RESPONSE TO THE CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH, FL INVITATION TO BID NO. 1406-02 EAIERGENCS' DEBRIS CLEARING AND REMOVAL OPERATIONS As the initial damage assessment and debris clearing operations are underway, AshBritt's TDSRS site managers ® and supervisory personnel will ensure that the accepted debris sites are prepared according to contractual requirements, including procurement of all necessary permits. All construction, environmental, safety and logistical factors will be addressed. As these become ready, initial loads of debris may be delivered. Although, debris is not generally collected during the emergency road clearance phase of the response, sometimes it is necessary to collect and haul debris to preclude an encumbrance to the clearance mission. U11, I • Phase 5 -- Equipment Certification, TDSRS Setup, Right -of -Way Collection (ROW) Throughout the initial mobilization, damage assessment, and _ _ - emergency road clearing phase, continued efforts are made to -= coordinate our subcontracting and operations plans. Out -of -area and local subcontractors with whom we have established commitments are contacted and instructed to deploy to our established staging areas _ within the impacted area. Equipment certification areas will be _ established at select staging areas to examine the operability and - .r safety. of hauling vehicles and to measure and assign a load carrying capacity to them. This certification becomes the official tracking identification for all loads that a particular vehicle hauls. The measured capacity of all hauling vehicles is identified on the truck tr ' certification form and on a placard affixed to each vehicle. All truck FTIpical vegetative Curbside Debris Pile certifications are manually logged, scanned, and entered into our proprietary Disaster Information Management System (DIMS). The tracking of certifications is customarily duplicated by the client and/or their monitoring firm. (Note: AshBritt maintains a very diligent protocol for field data collection, processing and reporting. This is crucial to successful accounting, invoicing and maximizing reimbursements.) Once haul vehicles are measured in, they are assigned a zone per the pre - established geographic area management plan (or any modifications made thereto owing to the initial damage assessment). Zones have been established by the City. Once a subcontractor is assigned a zone (or an area in a zone, where large zones have been split), they are responsible for the complete cleanup of that area over the course of the recovery. Subcontractors are not allowed to shift from zone to zone unless cleanup is complete and approval has been granted by AshBritt's field superintendent and the Project Manager. As the emergency road clearance wraps up, we will accelerate the mobilization and certification of equipment. Moreover, we will increase the numbers of our field Quality Control (QC) and safety personnel to match the equipment deployment. If the City will utilize their own TDSRS, it will be opened within S days and grinding material within 7 days of the response. Sites will be fully manned with supervisory, monitoring and safety personnel, traffic control and security personnel, as well as all operators and spotters. After the TDSRS baseline study and site plans are completed, the ROW mission -can be fully accelerated. The collection of debris from the ROW and other public property is basically organized by conducting multiple scheduled collection and removal passes. Passes are conducted in each established zone and/or area simultaneously for the most part; this allows for an efficient and consistent recovery. Organized multiple passes give residents and others affected ample time to remove debris from their private property to the ROW. Areas with the greatest damage and corresponding debris are assigned the greatest number of equipment resources (as the area allows). 3 complete debris passes is usually sufficient to complete the cleanup, although extra passes may be necessary in more densely populated areas and areas with the greatest damage and/or special logistical circumstances. Typically, the first pass of debris collection is completed within the first 2 to 3 weeks. The lion's share of debris is collected during this pass. The amount of debris collected diminishes with each subsequent pass. As such, our ROW forces are thinned out over the course cleanup. Our QC field personnel consistently survey and report results in order to maintain an efficient allocation of resources. As subcontractors complete zones, the areas are jointly � 0 surveyed with the City or its designated monitoring firm and closed out; subcontractors are either shifted to areas needing attention or officially released from the job. o AshBritt 0 E^• ^°' Page 171 General Operations Plan
