There are firms, of which this <br />is one, that specialize in managing natural disasters such as hurricanes, for cities. They have in <br />depth knowledge of all FEMA requirements. By going through the steps in this proposed contract, <br />not only will we maximize the return from FEMA for the cleanup, but FEMA will pay for their services <br />as well. We reviewed the submittals of several qualified companies, and the five raters (City staff) <br />clearly chose Solid Resources. We are therefore asking you to approve an hourly contract with an <br />not-to-exceed limit of $103,660. <br /> <br />REASONS <br /> <br />If approved, this contract will require Solid Resources to provide the following three major services: <br />1) Develop an Emergency Debris Management Plan and obtain FEMA approval. <br />2) Develop an RFP to guarantee the services of a professional debris removal company. <br />3) Manage the debris removal in the event of a natural disaster. <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION <br /> <br />The total cost of this preparation project is estimated to be less than $103,660. <br />There will not be an annual operation and maintenance cost. <br />The expected time for completion of the project is Fall of 2008. <br />Funds will need to be transferred from General Fund Contingency to Account Number 10-539-5344. <br /> <br />Finance Department <br /> <br /> <br />Agenda Item No.: I 0 F <br /> <br />Funding r\W1W <br /> <br />available: U <br /> <br />Commission Meeting Date: c;:) - ~ ( - 0 g <br />
