with the COM to discuss initial assessment and actions. o The first course of action is generally a field safety assessment to ensure emergency push operations will be conducted with minimal safety risks. The safety assessment is conducted as part of our initial damage assessment (this is typically cross-coordinated with other agencies and contractors). The initial assessment is generally accomplished by dividing the affected area into quadrants (or other major demarcated boundaries) and tallying the damage within each. 2. Once the damage assessment is complete, a preliminary recovery plan is prepared by the SOM and PM with input for priorities and expectations from the COM. Consequently, resource needs are qualified and quantified; our SOM will then notify the Operations Manager at our corporate office to commence mobilization of restoration and cleanup crews, as well as any special environmental mitigation crews. Crews will prepare all equipment and assets for mobilization and readily deploy within six hours (6) of AshBritt receiving a Notice-to-Proceed (NTP). 3. The ORRT will be ordered to mobilize when the SOM and COM and staff have concluded the rapid needs and initial damage assessment. The SOM has the authority to commit the ORRT based solely on his judgment, with or without an official NTP from the City CM. Notice-to-Proceed (NTP) and Mobilization I. Upon the issuance of an official NTP, the SOM will immediately mobilize the key personnel, equipment and assets that were pre-assigned during the pre-planning stage. 2. To ensure an immediate and efficient response, AshBritt will use its own and its coordinated local equipment from the affected area to conduct the initial emergency push and debris collection (if requested to assist). G 3. Additional equipment and personnel will be mobilized to the affected area and will be ready to commence work, within 12 hours of the NTP. At a minimum, we will be fully operational for clearing debris to open emergency routes within 18 hours of NTP; we will establish adequate temporary storage site(s) and be ready to manage and receive debris within 24 hours ofNTP; we will be fully operational for the reduction and disposal of debris within 72 hours of NTP; we will operate on an extended work schedule of 7 days per week from sunrise to sunset, or as safety permits (reduction operations may be conducted 24 hours per day, as deemed necessary and allowable). 4. The SOM, PM, and other key members of our ORRT will meet twice daily with the COM and staff to discuss, amongst other recovery issues: . Recovery and cleanup status and progress. Priority recovery issues and reassessments. Priority zones, facilities or sensitive areas. Public information dissemination. Public concerns or feedback. · Environmental, safety and traffic control concerns. Additional equipment or personnel needs. Public Assistance process, when applicable. Project reporting and accounting. . . The following Activation Plans were developed as general operational guidelines to ensure we meet a rapid, coordinated response to any disaster that may affect our clients. The plan consists of three distinct levels of response depending upon the nature and predictable impact of the disaster event. Level One Activation (L1) is in response to an anticipated event such as an approaching hurricane, 1000 miles or approximately three days out, with a projected path that could impact the City. At L 1 activation the following actions are taken: . The City Debris Manager is contacted by an AshBritt senior manager to discuss current emergency planning, potential evacuations, special needs, and to confirm emergency phone contacts. Telephone notification of L 1 activation to all AshBritt Disaster Response Team members, employee reservists, independent compliance team, and subcontractors. Par levels of necessary disaster operation supplies verified. Initial response resource plan is formulated based on storm wind speeds, projected tides, and projected path. Review equipment inventory by stationed location and by operational status. . o . . . AshBr/It. Inc. I Sunny Isles Beach. FL I RFP No. 08-07-0 I 33
