RFP No. 18-04-03: Disaster Debris Monitoring Services& Financial Recovery Assistance the City, we will perform the necessary environmental data collection process including baseline data and apply for required permits per local, state and federal requirements for designated emergency TDSRS. Scheduling Work For All Team Members And Contractors On A Daily Basis Prior to the start of operations each morning, all monitors are required to sign-in at a pre- determined location. Meetings are held in each zone and are headed up by the Field Supervisor. At these meetings ongoing training is conducted, changes in FEMA guidance are reviewed, safety issues are addressed, and any pertinent information is exchanged. The Field Operations Manager will generally attend daily meetings. FEMA representatives are made aware of meeting locations and are welcome to attend and often address areas of need or concern. We will hold daily meetings with debris monitors and staff for project updates and for safety issues. If valuable information becomes available, our staff may meet more frequently. A record of meeting contents and attendees will be made and provided to the City upon request. We will coordinate work schedules with contractors 24 hours in advance and provide work schedules to the City. Accurate scheduling is critical to ensure adequate monitoring is provided to document debris removal without unneeded cost of excess monitors. Realistic schedules are also necessary to allow the City to track and oversee the project effectively. Monitors and contractors will be expected to follow these schedules to allow efficient, effective project performance, management, documentation and reimbursement. Hiring, Scheduling, and Managing Field Staff Our monitoring staff is an extension of your staff, reacting and responding to requests from the City. Our monitors are typically locally hired employees that are often displaced or out of work as a result of the declared disaster and are trained and supervised by our experienced permanent staff. Due to the fact we employ former public employees such as Public Works Directors, Fire Chiefs, and retired military personnel, we understand the stress a disaster has on the City's staff. Thus, we are able to assist in the staffing and operations of all aspects a disaster may cause.We can provide damage assessments for damaged buildings, roadways, utilities, and other City owned facilities. If the demand for temporary assistance goes beyond what we have immediately available, our Human Resource Department will support the effort and assist our local management staff in recruiting, screening, hiring, and training the additional monitors required throughout the life of this contract. Depending on the severity of a disaster, some of the key tasks we will accomplish in helping the City with recovery include: • Debris Management and Emergency Response Planning: 30 days after selection • Pre-Disaster Response: 2-5 experienced personnel 2 to 10 days prior to disaster • Damage Assessments: additional experienced personnel within 24 hours • Mobilizing Debris Contractors: supervisory personnel within 12 hours • DMS Preparation Assistance: 2 experienced personnel within 24 hours • TIDAL EveryCatastro he,EveryRecovery 33 BASIN, 1
