All trucks and other equipment must be in compliance with all applicable local, state and federal rules and regulations. Contractor shall have proper safety devices maintained at all times while in use. If equipment does not contain proper safety devices and/or is being operated in an unsafe manner, the City shall direct the contractor to remove such equipment and/or the operator until the deficiency is corrected to the satisfaction of the City of Sunny Isles Beach. The contractor shall be responsible for injury to persons caused by the operation of the equipment.

A full list shall include descriptions, sizes and age of the equipment must be provided. Per FEMA Recovery Policy RP9523.12, mechanically loaded vehicles are preferred for debris removal.
