BEAUFORT COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS ri Solid Waste and Recycling - `= 120 Shanklin Road Beaufort, South Carolina 29906 Voice (843)255-2800 Facsimile(843) 255-9435 Mr. David Preus Ceres Environmental Services Inc. Dear Mr. Preus: I am writing to express my appreciation for the performance of the entire team from Ceres in the debris operations for Hurricane Matthew. As our debris removal firm the level of support and professional performance provided has been exceptional in all regards. My direct point of contact with your firm was Project manager Mike Beevers. Mike supported the County in an outstanding manner and his counsel was invaluable throughout this operation. He is a professional in all respects and helped to establish a high standard for compliance. On a personal level, Mike was extremely responsive to answer any questions and provide the assistance I required.As the Debris Manager I am not exaggerating when I state that without his diligence, knowledge, and ability to gain the cooperation within the team we would not have been as effective. Mike is a"machine". As a team we moved 72%of all ROW debris into the DMS sites in the first 90 days of operation; over 90%of hangers and leaners were addressed in the same period. FEMA and SCEMD officials remarked that"Beaufort County had their operation together". Mike played a huge part in making that happen. If.I ever had to do this again I would want Mike as my Project Manager. Providing Karl Dix to assist with the process allowed the County to get a jump on a difficult task. 410 Without his vital help we would have been overwhelmed with obtaining PPDR approval from FEMA and removing debris from 83 individual private communities. Karl provided essential high level technical support and coordination for the debris removal operation. He is a treasure trove of knowledge and expertise that worked seamlessly with the entire County staff. Ralph Sosabe is the most effective problem solver I have ever worked with. His professionalism, personality and ability to communicate with our citizens kept things moving smoothly. Ralph handled the most difficult situations with ease which I sincerely appreciated. His ability"To Make the Noise Stop"was nothing short of incredible. Bottom line,Ceres did an exceptional job and I am thankful for each member of your team. You exceeded expectations in every area and continue to provide us with excellent customer service. I am forwarding a copy of this letter to our Administration and Purchasing Department for future reference. Regards II JAMES S.
