based, cost control system. All labor, other direct costs and subcontractor costs are input into the system via labor time sheets, expense reports and subcontractor invoices. Controlling costs begins with the initiation of each project at DP&O. At the beginning of a project, the Project Manager and Finance Director provides each member of the Project Team with an agreed upon number of hours within which each task is expected to be completed. Daily project meetings provide each Project Manager with the required feedback to anticipate whether the expected labor expenditures will meet the project requirements. Staff Augmentation: Based on the disaster event and severity, DP&O will mobilize the adequate number of project management and support staff. For this project we have a dedicated team which was presented in the organizational chart. We maintain 150 trained on call professional and monitoring staff ready to support the City. We also maintain temporary staffing companies on contract who train annually with our group for debris removal operations and monitoring requirements. Monitor Hiring & Training Plan: DP&O is dedicated to hiring locals to be trained for project debris monitoring positions prior to a disaster, DP&O will reach out to the local area through churches, unemployment offices, newspapers, to provide a monitoring opportunity before a disaster. Additionally, DP&O considers with working with recently laid off or retired individuals to be an added value of knowledge to the team. DP&O Participates with the E verify, and we carefully screen all our staff with background checks and ensure each monitor has a valid driver's license. DP&O maintains a drug free policy workplace and has had a 0 tolerance for drug use. DP&O has had zero workers comp claims as a result of our employee screening and safety plan training. Monitor Training: DP&O has a comprehensive monitor training program which is updated annually as FEMA requirements for disaster debris removal change. DP&O performs annual disaster monitor training for all staff and every newly hired monitor a 4 -hour training program and orientation session is conducted by one or more of our monitor supervisor trainings. • FEMA Requirements for Pre -Disaster Asset Status & Inventory • Internal Policies Review • Procurement and Contracts • Damage Assessments • Emergency Repair Documentation • Emergency Debris Removal • Disaster Documentation and Submittals • Multiple other Critical Items Safety Plan: DP&O for all projects maintains a "Health and Safety Plan" and updates a daily/weekly Site Safety plan as needed by the project. DP&O project staff all participate each day in a Daily Site Safety Plan Briefing" which allows us to address critical and potential site safety hazards that could affect the onsite management and project staff work. DP&O's Site Safety Officer performs daily spot checks on all field staff to ensure they are maintaining and adhering to the safety protocol and wearing the mandated safety gears (Work boot, gloves, eye protection, safety fluorescent vests) and they are using the safety equipment (flags, stop /slow signs) if required by the project site conditions. Initiation and Review of Damage Assessments: Assessment and justification of damages is often where funding opportunities are missed and our recovery project scope does not match per FEMA requirement. During DP&O's rapid response phase our team will focus on debris damage assessments, estimated quantities and critical areas. We will be identifying resources necessary to properly document da -mages and maintain validation to match recovery projects. As client needs, we have the Professional staff that assist with infrastructure damage assessments. 41 QCT:
