<br /> <br /> <br />Event: Derecho – Severe Storms, FEMA-4557-DR <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Iowa Department of <br />Homeland Security <br /> <br />Jordan Moser <br />Strategic Planner <br />6100 NW 78th Avenue <br />Johnston, IA 50131 <br />(515) 323-4246 <br /> <br />Performance Dates: <br />08/2020 to 02/2021 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />DEBRIS VOLUME: 1,600,000 CUBIC YARDS CONTRACT VALUE: <br />$7,722,536.00 <br /> <br />On August 10, 2020, an unprecedented wind event caused enormous destruction over a large portion of the <br />State of Iowa. In response to this storm, TFR Enterprises was awarded the Derecho debris clean-up contract <br />administered by the Iowa Department of Homeland Security. Due to the unparalleled nature of this storm, <br />storm response rollout was slow as making the right decisions rightfully trumped quick decisions. <br /> <br />A mixture of communities self-performing the debris collection in the ROW combined with independent <br />contractors hired independently to perform debris collection services led to an ambiguity in the ever- <br />expanding scope of the job. Initial responses from communities seeking the state’s help started at <br />approximately 20 communities in 8 counties and as the debris reduction work and subsequent mulch haul <br />outgained traction, that list quickly ballooned to 45 communities in 15 counties across the state. Initial <br />estimates for the master agreement were in the 600,000-800,000 cubic yards of debris to process but fell <br />just shy of 1,400,000 yards of reduced and disposed of vegetative <br />debris at completion. <br /> <br />As we settled into the final scope of work, TFR staff began working <br />with local community points of contact to eliminate any issues that <br />would cause delays in the performance of the work. Our staff <br />researched and secured locations for final mulch disposal and <br />coordinated with Iowa DNR to ensure each site passed the <br />requirements necessary for an FDS designation. Once these locations <br />Testimonial <br />“The professionalism, knowledge, <br />insight, and work ethic, displayed <br />by TFR Enterprises’ staff is a <br />tribute to your company and is in <br />keeping with the highest standards <br />of emergency response contractors <br />everywhere.” Jordan Moser <br /> <br />ITB No. 23-04-01 <br />Disaster Debris Management and Disposal Services <br />18
