QI.F.H. Far rises, lc. Q DISASTER RESPONSE DIVISION drives the business and fortifies the strong relationships TFR maintains with our subcontractors. Therefore, such relationships maintained with small business, minority- owned, and numerous other companies allow TFR to fulfill the requirements that may be mandated by the client's Representatives and other Government Agencies. In the past, TFR has employed as many as 250 subcontractors during a single event and maintains a data base of 300+ experienced, previously employed and approved debris removal subcontractors throughout the United States. Local Subcontracting Procedures At TFR, we firmly believe that local contractors provide the most cost-effective measure to complete the contract requirements while aiding the local economy after the impact of a disaster. TFR plans to utilize local subcontractors to the extent at which they are available and properly licensed. TFR shall exhaust all avenues to obtain qualified local subcontractors to meet the needs of the community while infusing the local economy with needed revenue. As such, TFR is committed to identifying the local subcontractors qualified and prepared to support the community on the path to recovery. TFR plans to solicit and establish local subcontractors through the following plan: TFR Enterprises' principals and managers have always exercised a policy of recruiting subcontractors in the affected work area. This practice is considered good business because of the advantages received by contracting with local companies residing in the affected area. There are a number of factors that contribute to the overall effectiveness of local ® subcontractors: (1) familiarity with the areas to be worked, (2) knowledge of the most efficient traffic patterns, (3) information on local suppliers for parts, equipment repairs, etc., (4) reduction in end project costs as local subcontractors do not require housing and travel cost, per diem, etc. These factors reduce the cost of the project to the client while allowing the county to retain large portions of the money in the hands of its constituency. With these reasons in mind, TFR is committed to fulfilling the requirements of the client by implementing the Local Subcontracting Plan listed below: 1. Establish a local telephone line so that it may be contacted easier than calling to long-distance cell phone numbers. 2. The Company will post signs and telephone numbers at the entrance to its work site and at its field office. 3. Subcontracting opportunities are advertised by local newspaper. 4. During the search for subcontractors following an award, the company's Chief Operating Officer will contact the Small Business Administration office in the work area and access the Procurement Marketing and Access Network, National Minority Purchasing Council Vendor Information Service and the Research and Information Division of the Minority Business Development Agency in the Department of Commerce. 5. The local Veteran's Administration is contacted upon the company's assignment of a task order, and alerted as to the type of products and service the contract requires, and the company's local telephone number and address is registered ® with them, not only for subcontracting, but for short-term employment opportunities 48
