Introduction The City of Sunny Isles Beach staff has developed a Debris Management Plan that describes the general needs and approaches for clearing, removing and disposing of large volumes of debris after a major disaster. tt provides general infonnation on debris classifications, local hauling and disposal capabilities and capacities. The plan provides general guidance for the Contractor and is available upon request. The City of Sunny Isles Beach's disaster recovery planning includes considerations for clearing, removing and disposing of the voll.mes and types of debris expected to be generated by a major dsaster such as a ~nicane or tornado. The planning approach is fonnulated in part on the concept of strategic pre-positioning of plans and resources necessary for timely, coordinated response and recovery operations, including clearing and removal of debris from public p~rty and public rights-of-way throughout the City using Contractor work forces. The City envisions the need for a single major Contractor to cany out the Debris Oearing and Removal work throughout the City. The Contractor must have the capacity to manage a major workforce with multiple Subcontractors and to cover the expenses associated with a major recovery operation prior to initial City payment and between subsequent payments, as well as the capacity to provide the necessary boOOs and insuraJn!. The Contractor must also have an ~ished management team, an established network of resources to provide the necessary equipment and personnel, comprehensive debris clearing, removal and volume reduction operations plans, and demonstrable experience in major disaster recovery projects. The contract to be awarded win be a pre-positioned contract that will be activated only in the face of an actual disaster or emergency. As such, no oor11>8f1Salion will accrue to the Contractor unless and until the contract is activated either in anticipation of a natural or man-made disaster or immedately after such disaster. Potential Contractors are solely responsible for their own costs of developing the proposals associated with this RFP. In addition, a Contractor who receives a pre-positioned contract for the work will be required to participate in certain City-directed disaster recovery training and/or exercises, one (1) to two (2) clays each year, at no cost to the City. The pre-positioned contract will be for tenn of three (3) years with two (2) one (1) year 23
