<br /> <br /> <br />FEMA Experience <br />TFR possesses an intimate understanding of the FEMA funding and reimbursement process. ALL <br />TFR CLIENTS HAVE RECEIVED 100% OF THEIR ELIGIBLE REIMBURSEMENT. <br />TFR HAS NEVER HAD A SINGLE DOLLAR DEOBLIGATED BY FEMA or the FHWA. <br />We understand that our client’s reimbursement is directly correlated to their ability to pay TFR and <br />we work with our clients to ensure this process is as fast and efficient as possible. <br /> <br />TFR personnel have conducted over 350+ federally funded projects, and as such, have gained <br />invaluable experience and familiarity with the FEMA recording and reimbursement process <br />conducted under the federal Public Assistance Program. With no turnover in our key personnel for <br />the past five (5) years, our employees have been working as a cohesive team to confront FEMA <br />issues and ensure the reimbursement of our clients for 33 years. Sharon Lyell, our Operations <br />Manager, in conjunction with Tiffany Jean, Contract Manager, heads our FEMA Compliance Team <br />in all disaster-related projects. Our FEMA Compliance Team is deeply vetted in FEMA <br />management and operational styles, and NEVER has TFR, or its officers, had a disputed claim for <br />FEMA reimbursement. These individuals are very familiar with and aware of the federal guidelines <br />for independence in accountability and reporting as well as recognizing that it cannot perform or <br />assume the sovereign duties of the government officials. However, this does not preclude TFR from <br />offering the following services to aid our clients in complying with the federal Public Assistance <br />Program: <br /> <br /> Provide extensive pre-event training sessions with a review of previously submitted FEMA <br />paperwork. <br /> Design appropriate cost tracking systems before approval of Project Worksheets is <br />received. <br /> Assist in the estimation of debris volumes by debris types and debris management costs for <br />Preliminary Damage Assessments. <br /> Train clients on FEMA’s Cost Estimating Format, a forward pricing model allowing <br />FEMA to account for all possible costs on large projects. <br /> Assist in the preparation of Immediate Needs Funding (INF) requests. <br /> Review the operational procedures of the FEMA Public Assistance Program as it relates to <br />the overall recovery process. <br /> Inform and prepare for critical meetings with FEMA, with emphasis on “Kick-off Meeting” <br />and “Applicant’s Briefing”. <br /> Aid in the preparation of Project Worksheets <br /> Provide, review, and confirm the accuracy of supporting documentation (i.e., Truck <br />Certifications, Load Tickets, Equipment Time Sheets, etc.) for the Project Worksheets to <br />realize full reimbursement. <br /> <br />TFR takes a proactive approach to debris management. Enacting a comprehensive, efficient debris <br />management plan, which retains operational flexibility to address problems on the fly, is vital to <br />the success of the project and our client’s realization of full FEMA reimbursement. Upon <br />establishment of a debris management plan, we strongly suggest submitting the plan for FEMA <br />review, relieving undue stress over FEMA acceptance following a disaster event. <br /> <br />ITB No. 23-04-01 <br />Disaster Debris Management and Disposal Services <br />67
