Many of these power outages were caused by broken, twisted, and uprooted trees <br />that could not handle the sheer weight of the accumulated ice. This was only the beginning of their <br />battle. Once the ice began to melt, the influx of water exceeded the capacity of the creeks, rivers, <br />and drainage systems, leading to flooding in many areas. Once the power was restored and flooding <br />had receded, the state worked to secure FEMA funding, and procure contractor assistance with <br />debris and hazardous tree removal. The quantities of debris left behind were far more than they were <br />capable of handling with in-house or force-account labor. <br />TFR Enterprises was awarded a contract by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet in May of 2021 <br />to remove ice storm and flood debris from state rights-of-way in ten eastern Kentucky counties. TFR <br />management arrived on site within 24 hours of contract activation and immediately started <br />mobilizing equipment. TFR crews removed more than 100 tons of debris within the first 72 hours <br />following the notice to proceed. <br />Because of the region's geography, which includes steep embankments, high rock walls, deep <br />valleys, and small winding roads, TFR needed to use specialized equipment to fully service the <br />client's needs. A fleet of excavators, skilled operators, grapple trucks, sawmen, and traffic control <br />personnel were deployed. Over 14,000 tons of garbage and thousands of hazardous trees were <br />removed by these crews, who worked nonstop. TFR cleared more than double the expected <br />ITB No. 23-04-01 <br />Disaster Debris Management and Disposal Services <br />16
