o o o ~ Subcontractors In an effort to be prepared for any disaster recovery and debris management project that comes Crowder's way, the company has an extensive database of subcontractors that can help augment our available services, supplies, and equipment in the event of an occurrence. Crowder maintains a database of over 200 quality subcontractors that have either worked on a Crowder project before or are known to be of the highest caliber. In past disasters, we have utilized subcontractors in order to quickly complete jobs on a large scale, sometimes running as many as thousands of trucks simultaneously. Distributed throughout the United States, our subcontractors have established relationships with our company and are trusted suppliers and co-workers. Once under contract, Crowder will tailor our basic subcontracting plan to meet the needs of our client. This includes satisfying required Minority, Small, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise requirements, selecting subcontractors local and convenient to our client's location, and seeking and establishing relationships with new subcontractors if needed. 1) Selecting Qualified Subcontractors In past debris removal and disposal projects, Crowder Disaster Recovery has employed a variety of subcontractors. Crowder has encountered subcontractors both bad and good, and through this experience has created a series of criteria used in selecting quality subcontractors and compiling a pool of trusted companies for use during projects. To be selected as a subcontractor and to receive work on any Crowder project, a company must meet the following requirements: . Have the means necessary to provide quality equipment that is properly registered and maintained . Possess the insurance requirements necessary for the project . Communicate well with our company and the Project Manager . Be willing to follow any task orders we require . Abide by the stipulations of the contract between Crowder and our client, obeying any and all regulations set forth in that document . Experience in debris management or disaster recovery The criteria we use to select subcontractors are based on the ability to complete the job ordered by our client. To this end, we only select companies with the necessary resources to efficiently and safely complete the task. 2) Local Subcontractor Participation At Crowder, we understand the importance of local subcontractor participation to our clients. By employing local subcontractors, we enable the local economy to receive some benefit from a debris removal project and allow smaller companies to gain experience and training in debris management techniques. Because of this, we actively seek out local subcontractors, especially those that are classified as Minority or Small Business enterprises. Once under contract, Crowder will actively contact local subcontractors and establish relationships with those companies before an event happens. Crowder will utilize our client's listings of local contractors, businesses, and suppliers to ensure proper utilization of our client's local resources.
