The Contractor shall provide a representative to attest to the certification/measuring process. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to verify the accuracy of truck certifications within forty -eight (48) hours of truck certification (and notify the City of any discrepancies). Placards will be attached to both sides of each certified truck and shall clearly state the truck measurement in cubic yards, Contractor name, assigned truck number, and other pertinent information, as determined by the City Debris Manager. Debris shall be reasonably compacted into the hauling vehicle. Any debris extending above the top of the bed shall be secured in place so as to prevent them from falling off. Measures must be taken to avoid the debris blowing out of the hauling vehicle during transport to a City approved DMS or a City approved Final Disposal Site. If falling debris from hauling vehicles presents an issue the City reserves the right to require the contractor to “tarp” or cover debris when hauling. 3.17 ONSITE CHIPPING In areas not accessible by debris removal equipment and as directed by the Contract Manager, DMC will chip limbs, branches, foliage, etc., onsite using a handfed chipper. DMC will collect chipped and other tree debris immediately following completion of the chipping and haul the mulch or chipped debris to a final disposal site as determined by the Contract Manager. 3.18 TEMPORARY DEBRIS STORAGE AND REDUCTION (TDMS) SITES A Florida Department of Environmental Protection authorized site where debris is stored, reduced, grinded, or sorted. Debris resides at the site for a relatively short period of time prior to final disposal during the debris management process. Services performed under this Contract element will be compensated using Attachment A – Unit Rate Price Schedule 2. The TDMS location(s) will be identified by the City, within City boundaries. DMC shall be prepared to establish additional TDMSs as deemed necessary by the City to ensure an adequate number of TDMSs for the amount and location of debris. DMC will be responsible for obtaining necessary permits and conducting the required environmental investigations and documentation. DMC will thoroughly videotape and/or photograph each TDMS before any activities begin, and will periodically update video and photographic documentation to track site evolution. DMC shall provide all equipment and personnel to manage, maintain, and operate the TDMSs. The number of active sites will be determined by the Contract Manager and/or Debris Monitor based on the severity of the disaster. The Contract Manager will provide access and authorization to DMC to operate on the designated TDMSs, including all information in the Contract Manager's possession regarding the sites that is necessary for successful operation. DMC will provide a site operations plan for review and approval by the Contract Manager
