o subcontractors. Additionally, after each disaster recovery project, we go through a complete performance evaluation of each subcontractor that worked on the project. The group of subcontractors from which we intend to draw for the completion of this contract has successfully performed similar work on many different events. This includes work on Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Wilma, Ivan, Frances, Floyd, and Andrew; ice storm recovery work on projects in Kansas, Missouri, New York, and Oklahoma; tornado recovery work in Alabama, Missouri, and Tennessee; and disaster recovery work following the 911 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City. The subcontractors are grouped in Response Regions 1 through 4, based on distance from the City's service area and will be illustrated in greater detail in Section D.3 Subcontracting Plan. It is our intention to employ the subcontractors who are best qualified and meet both the City's and Ceres' standards for completion of this contract. All subcontractors to be selected have been screened through the Excluded Parties List System and only those shown to have no history on the list will be chosen for this project.

QUALITIES AND ATTRIBUTES The competencies listed above provide Ceres with a decided advantage in the industry - the ability to perform regardless of the size or scope of the event. Our clients have benefited from our unique abilities. . Reliability . Safe . Responsiveness . FEMA Knowledgeable . Respected . Client Satisfaction-oriented . Capable Reliability In 1997, Ceres was non-competitively selected by the United States Air Force for an emergency demolition project at Thule Air Base, Greenland, located 700 miles from the North Pole. This difficult demolition project consisted of a large, severely damaged building that was in imminent danger of collapsing on a critical Early Warning Radar station protecting the U.S. East Coast. Unique project challenges included air lifting a 70,000 pound piece of specialized demolition equipment to Greenland and performing the work during October where limited daylight, severe cold, and the ever present danger of strong winds exiting off the Greenland glacier in excess of 200 mph added to its complexity. Ceres was given an outstanding rating for its performance on this project. Responsiveness Over the years, Ceres has developed and refined its ability for rapid response mobilizations. For example, in Jefferson Parish, LA, Ceres hauled more than 45,000 cubic yards on the first day of operation; in 0 Kansas City, MO, more than 200 trucks were hauling within 72 hours of contract award; in Florida's Operation Blue Roof, Ceres had more than 180 roofers installing temporary roofs within 72 hours of CERES Tab B.
