RFP No. 18-04-03: Disaster Debris Monitoring Services&Financial Recovery Assistance Debris Monitoring - Experience Our emergency management experience is very diverse, including debris management, monitoring, planning, project development, project management, and financial recovery. We have provided monitoring services on multiple projects with over 1 million cubic yards of debris removal. We have assisted communities in monitoring the removal of all types of debris, such as right-of-way (ROW) debris, private property (right of entry) debris, commercial property, abandoned cars, marine debris, beach cleaning, vessel removal, hazardous trees/limbs, white goods, hazardous materials, and e-waste. Our firm provided debris monitoring services to numerous clients in the Houston/Galveston area following Hurricane Ike in 2008. This included monitoring for several municipalities and involved vegetative debris, C&D debris, surge zone debris, white goods, management sites, recycling and disposal. We also monitored marine debris removal from 350,000 acres of open water for the Texas General Land Office, as well as debris removal and/or sand screening on 50 miles of beaches along the Upper Texas Coast. We will utilize issuance of load tickets as one tool in managing the project and the contractor to ensure needs of City and its citizens are met on all projects. . Debris Monitoring - Capacity/ Depth of Staff While we have a great deal of debris monitoring experience, we have no pre-event contracts in the City area. Multiple commitments in these communities could cause even the largest firms not to be able to respond adequately in the event of a catastrophic disaster. Our lack of previous commitments with the largest communities in the area will allow us to focus our resources on the-recovery of the City. We encourage you to contact the communities we have supported following Hurricane Ike. You will hear their appreciation for the high level of service we were able to provide them, without being overcommitted to serve numerous large communities in the same area. Our team mobilized hundreds of temporary employees to meet the needs created by Hurricane Katrina across the Gulf Coast and again following Hurricane Ike and recent winter storms. We had adequate local management and staff to supervise the debris removal operations. Our ability to hire, train and successfully manage hundreds of monitors in an organized and timely manner is key to our success at debris removal monitoring and the corresponding recovery of the community.A deep staff of experienced managers, trainers, supervisors, and data managers is critical in mobilizing a large and effective monitoring program, following a catastrophic disaster.
