Event: Hurricane Michael, FEMA-4399-DR Tyndall Airforce Base Johnny Walker Contracting Officer 501 Airey Avenue Suite 5 Tyndall AFB, FL 32403 (850) 283-1378 Performance Dates: 02/2019 to 04/2019 DEBRIS VOLUME: WORK ORDER 1: REDUCTION & HAUL OUT OF 151,000 CY OF VEGETATIVE DEBRIS. WORK ORDER 2: 71,500 OPERATOR & EQUIPMENT HOURS CONTRACT VALUE: $13,669,959.00 On October 10, 2018, less than one month after Florence made landfall, Hurricane Michael showed up in the Florida Panhandle as a Category 4 hurricane. Michael presented the strongest winds to make US landfall since Andrew in 1992, and the damage was evident. TFR was mobilized to Florida but rode out the storm well out of the destruction way. TFR must always ensure the equipment and management is not in a dangerous position, as we cannot risk the absence of it in response. TFR’s management immediately headed to Tyndall Air Force Base to help. TFR had just finished responding to Camp LeJeune and Cherry Point military installations after Hurricane Florence, so we are very familiar with the processes, procedures, and needs of these facilities. Although the base was a disaster area and looked as if combat had just ended, TFR immediately mobilized all requested resources and we were working 5 days after landfall, clearing roadways, and removing hazardous trees and hazardous limbs. We completed several work orders, vegetative and construction and demolition debris removal, tree trimming and removal, and reducing the vegetative debris by grinding and hauling out and disposal of C&D and Vegetative mulch. TFR was able to recycle vegetative debris and metal material as recycling any debris that can avoid landfills is one of our top company goals. One of the obstacles that TFR experienced in performing this project was access to the base. Their key problem with base access was that several different procedures were being used for granting access. There was a separate contractor involved so it was not done directly by the military and communications were an issue. We worked very closely with the base and the security contractor to resolve the base access issues so the work would not be interrupted, delayed, or stopped completely. Another obstacle that presented itself was the wide variety of materials that this monstrous storm created. TFR houses a staff of highly trained individuals who are proficient in the identification, removal, and storage of all ITB No. 23-04-01 Disaster Debris Management and Disposal Services 22
