o o o · Three hauling trucks or trailers (30 - 50 cubic yards). Additional/large capacity trucks may be added for longer hauls. First preference will be given to hauling vehicles that are best suited to fit the surrounding streets and local conditions. Knuckleboom self loaders are often efficient, but at times, especially in urban areas with narrow streets, these trucks are too large to be highly effective. In tight areas, pickup trucks with dumping trailers minimize traffic disruption and potential damage. Crew and overall debris collection production will be monitored on a daily basis. The Operations Manager, as need arises, will alter crew composition and overall number of crews. Self Loaders may comprise their own crew or work in conjunction with dump trucks but hand-loading will not be allowed or tolerated in any circumstance. Ceres owns a fleet of eleven Self Loaders (Knucklebooms) and has access to many more through our subcontractors. A minimum of one Hot Spot Crew will be assembled for each zone during this project. The crew(s) will commence operations within 24 hours of the NTP. The typical crew will consist of: · One Knuckleboom or self-loader · Three Laborers (one sawyer and two Flagmen) Equipment with a hauling capacity of less than 18 cubic yards will not be permitted unless authorized by the City. Work zones will move as the debris is cleaned up from the streets and boulevards. Occasionally the work zone may be located on or near a heavily traveled roadway which will require additional flag persons, additional signage, and/or assistance from the local law enforcement agencies. The crew foreman will monitor the work zone and all other aspects of crew operation. Certification of Maximum Volume Capacity of Hauling Trucks/Trailers Prior to initial use, authorized Ceres personnel and City representatives will inspect hauling trucks. Only pre-approved trucks will be received at the TDSRS. Approval shall include documentation of truck identification and insurance, safety requirements, and measured cubic yardage capacity. A unique approval number shall be assigned to the truck and posted on the truck along with measured capacity. All units hauling debris are required to be "measured in" prior to commencement of work. The hauling uniUtruck/trailer certification procedure is mandatory and will be administered by quality control representatives of Ceres and the City. A Truck Certification Log Sheet will be created for each hauling uniUtruck/trailer. Unit specific information along with Year, Make, Address, Photograph, Model, License Plate information, Driver Name, and signatures will be recorded on the log. At this time a unique identifier will be assigned to the unit. The identifier will consist of both letters and numbers. Each Subcontractor will be assigned a Letter Code unique to the Subcontractor. The number portion of the identifier will be sequential (The first truck measured is 100; the second truck measured is 101; the third truck measured is 102; and so forth). A given number will not be assigned to more than one hauling unit (there is only one 101, 102, 103, etc....). Combining the subcontractor identifier with the number would result in the unique identification for each unit. Examples are: "ACE100" for Ace Trucking Company and "TTS101" for Toms Tree Service. Using such a combined letter and number system for the Truck Identification will minimize any potential confusion by having both the volume (CY) and truck number on the same label. The truck identification always has letters in front of the numbers. Truck Certification Logs will be maintained by Quality Control Staff. The log shall be maintained and available to TDSRS inspection personnel regarding truck approvals, approval number, capacity, and other pertinent information. The unique truck/trailer identification number, and its maximum carrying capacity are written (with permanent marker) on a Ceres placard that is mounted on both sides of the truck/trailer. Ceres uses labels pre-printed with our name and blanks for identification number and volume. These labels cannot be removed without destroying the label. All equipment is subject to further inspection by the City at any time during the project. Work Locations Dispatch records will be maintained for the duration of the project. Records will include date and time of dispatch, crew and unit identifier, and status of assigned section (In Progress, Completed). Typically one contractor will be assigned to a given section. Sections may be comprised of individual developments or Cf;.Bf;S Tab D Technical Information Section D.1 Debris Management Operations Plan Page 5 of 17
