• spills, hazardous materials, and other similar environmental concerns; • Document and report to the City any violations of the Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) debris site conditions. If DEP debris site conditions are violated, the Contractor shall oversee tasks sufficiently to satisfy the remediation performed by the Debris Removal Contractor. • Monitors will ensure that accurate, legible, and complete documentation is provided through load tickets and other logs and reports, as required. • Certify completeness of all load tickets that enter into a disposal site; • Exit Site Monitors shall ensure all outbound trucks and trailers are fully discharged of load prior to exit of the DMS. 8.10.6 Debris Estimation There are a number of methodologies used to estimate possible debris volumes of both vegetative and Construction & Demolition (C&D) debris resulting from disasters. The City DMP will contain an estimate of the estimated debris loads for vegetative and C&D from tornados, EF 1 to EF 5 and hurricanes from Category 1 to Category 5. This estimate is based on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers model that considers such factors as the wind speed (loading) by event category, population density and amount of vegetative cover. This model provides a reasonable estimation to guide initial deployment of number of assets to begin debris removal activities post- , event; however, a post-event assessment is still required in order to properly estimate the pockets of higher debris concentration and best locations for the DMS (DMS)/ (Temporary Debris Reduction and Staging (TDSR) site(s)). This assessment method provides a reasonable confirmation of the Debris Management Plan estimates but more importantly provides a better estimation of areas where immediate attention and focus must be made. DP&O has utilized a drone in former contracts where the debris hazards and volumes were so immense and limited access. The drone for this project was approved by the FAA in a special permit and the cost of the drone team and drone data collection was approved by FEMA for reimbursement. DP&O will recommend the best methodologies to the City to perform the post-event debris damage assessment to properly and more accurately characterize the debris quantities and locations. 8.10.7 Debris Removal Vehicle/Equipment Certification All DRC equipment shall be certified and accounted for prior to any debris removal task. All debris load/hauling vehicles will be measured and certified for cubic yard (CY) capacity prior to assignment for debris removal. DP&O will complete a certification of each vehicle using DP&O certification forms and documents (See Attachments 4, 5.and 6) to accurately record the cubic 111 yard volume. All DP&O forms and procedures comply with applicable guidelines (FEMA, etc.) Disaster Program & Operations, Inc. Request for Proposals Disaster Debris Monitoring No. 18-04-03 66
