I measurement. DRC will then remove the stump and haul it utilizing the same equipment used to haul the vegetative debris. If the stump is too large to be hauled in this manner, a dedicated stump removal crew with a larger piece of loading equipment (typically a rubber tired front end loader) and a flatbed trailer will be used to load 1 and haul these large hazardous stumps. All proper work zone safety and traffic control will be used during this process. After extracting the hazardous stumps,DRC crews will backfill the holes with the proper soil type. I A stump may be determined to be hazardous and eligible for Public Assistance grant funding as a per-unit cost for stump removal if it meets all of the following criteria: • It has 50 percent or more of the root-ball exposed(less than 50 percent of the root-ball exposed should be flush cut); • It is greater than 24 inches in diameter,as measured 24 inches above the ground; • It is on improved public property or a public right-of-way;and • It poses an immediate threat to life,and public health and safety. 1 EXPERTISE IN THE REMOVAL OF DEAD ANIMALS AND PUTRESCENT DISPOSAL Improper disposal of animal carcasses can contaminate drinking water sources or spread disease. It is DRC Emergency Services,LLC's policy to handle and dispose of animal remains with care and in accordance with all state Iand local regulations. If possible, all identified carcasses should be disposed of within 48 hours of death. There are several approved Imethods for the disposal of animal carcasses: • Incineration at a secure and pre-approved site. I • Deposition in a contained landfill approved for remains disposal. • Composting,with approval,is a sanitary and practical method of carcass disposal. I Breakdown of the carcass occurs by bacterial degradation and yields an odorless, humus-like substance that can be applied to fields using common manure-spreading equipment.Fertilizer values typical of composted carcass material contain 25 lb. of nitrogen/ton, 13 lb. of phosphorous/ton, and 7 lb. of potassium/ton. The use of composting as a I method for the disposal of carcasses often requires a permit from the state's Department of Agriculture. Properly designed composting systems have a positive environmental impact, reduce the amount of solid waste that may potentially be dumped into landfills, yield no air or water pollution, and require no chemical additives. The I ingredients required for composting are simply moisture, air, bacteria, and a carbon source (straw, inedible feed, bedding material,and other materials). I Animal carcasses will be transported in a covered vehicle; the bed or tank will be constructed so that no drippings or seepage from the carcass can escape from the vehicle. Any animals found that are suspected to have died of a highly contagious,infectious,or communicable disease will be transported by certified professionals and in accordance with Iall state and local laws and regulations. CLEAN FILL DIRT ® DRC will place compacted fill dirt in ruts created by equipment, holes created by stump ends, and other areas Y that pose a hazard to public access upon direction of the City. This clean fill dirt will be compacted and directed by the City. I I �'a �aDRC DRC Emergency Services,LLC 57 ��ErE4�E„�, RFP No.18-04-02 —Striking Bank.
