CL CC <br /> IIENVIRONMENTAL <br /> May 4, 2018 <br /> Sunny Isles Beach <br /> Attn: City Clerk <br /> Sunny Isles Beach Government Center <br /> 18070 Collins Avenue <br /> Sunny Isles Beach, Florida 33160 <br /> RE: RFP 18-04-02 Disaster Debris Management and Disposal Services <br /> Due: 5/10/2018 at 2:30 PM ET <br /> Dear Evaluation Committee: <br /> We are pleased to submit the enclosed proposal for the Sunny Isles Beach RFP 18-04-02 Disaster Debris <br /> Management and Disposal Services. Ceres Environmental Services, Inc. is an experienced disaster <br /> recovery and Government contracting firm capable of providing personnel, equipment and resources to <br /> rapidly and efficiently respond to a disaster recovery event. Our services include debris removal and <br /> segregation, demolition and hazardous material management, debris reduction and site management, and <br /> the collection/generation of FEMA-required project documentation. <br /> In 2017, Ceres responded to more than 30 jurisdictions following disasters ranging from floods to hurricanes <br /> to tornados. Ceres responded to thirty-three Florida jurisdictions following Hurricane Irma; during the same <br /> timeframe, Ceres performed Hurricane Harvey recovery efforts throughout the state of Texas. In 2016, <br /> ® Ceres was already working in Louisiana following heavy rains and flooding when Hurricanes Hermine and <br /> Matthew hit the U.S. coast within a month of each other yet we responded to all of our affected clients <br /> swiftly and efficiently. <br /> In 2008, Ceres received an "Outstanding" performance review from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for <br /> our work in Louisiana following Hurricane Katrina. We are confident that if Ceres is selected for an event <br /> response based on this proposal, you will also find our services to be exemplary. We have a long list of <br /> satisfied clients and would be pleased to serve your community as well. <br /> Our office in Sarasota, FL provides an excellent location from which to manage our post-disaster work in <br /> Sunny Isles Beach. Other permanent offices for Ceres give us good geographical dispersion. Those offices <br /> are located in Houston, TX and Brooklyn Park, MN. Ceres' multiple locations ensure that, even if an event <br /> affects our Florida location, other offices will swiftly take over to meet the needs of the City. Ceres also has <br /> servers storing company documents in multiple locations throughout the country. If one server is lost in an <br /> event the data will not be lost, and will not prevent Ceres from performing any work for any of its clients. <br /> David A. McIntyre, Sole Shareholder and President; David Preus, Senior Vice President; Tia Laurie, <br /> Corporate Secretary; and Dawn Brown, Assistant Corporate Secretary have signature authority to bind the <br /> company and can all be reached by calling Ceres' toll free number(800) 218-4424. <br /> We look forward to the opportunity to be your supplier of disaster recovery services. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> c / <br /> Tia Laurie <br /> Corporate Secretary <br /> Ceres Environmental Services, Inc. <br /> ® Enc. <br /> FLORIDA I TEXAS I MINNESOTA <br /> 6968 Professional Parkway I Sarasota,FL 34240 I OFFICE(800)218-4424 1 FAX(866)228-5636 <br /> ceresenvironmental.com <br />
