City Clerk 18070 Collins Ave., I't Floor Sunny Isles Beach, FL 33160 May 16, 2026 RE: 23-04-01 Disaster Debris Management and Disposal Services To Whom it may concern, CTC Disaster Response, Inc. (CTC), formerly known as Custom Tree Care, Inc., is pleased to submit our proposal for the ITB 23-04-01 Disaster Debris Management and Disposal Services. CTC has been in business for over 24 years and has completed over $200,000,000 in Debris Removal Operations, with a combined Executive and Management team experience of over 70 years. CTC has operated as prime contractor in the recovery of over 150 major catastrophic events in 27 states performing ROW Debris Removal, Tree Trimming and Removal, PPDR, Waterway and Marine Debris Removal, TDS Reduction and Management, and other specialty types of debris removal. We meet or exceed all requirements of this RFP. With our experience, we can streamline the recovery process, while maintaining our 100% safety record. We have also been able to develop and streamline debris removal, reduction, and disposal to ensure that our teaming partners and the community receive the best benefits of our experience. CTC has never failed to complete a project and has never defaulted on any contract. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of quality and professionalism. Our past performance is excellent, and we will strictly adhere to all requirements of this project including program standards as provided in FEMA's "Debris Management Guide." CTC is registered to do business in the State of Florida and has completed several contracts of this nature in the past for DOT's, School Districts, Municipalities (cities and towns), counties, states, and the federal government. CTC has the resources to manage all disaster debris operations for all entities we are contracted with. Our staff is trained in USAGE, OSHA, ANSI and FEMA standards and all work practices will conform to these standards. We adhere to FEMA requirements for reimbursement documentation. If awarded, we will provide all additional documentation required. We look forward to the opportunity to serve your needs. Page 3 of 87 Respectfully, Greg Gathers President/CEO M W -4172A The following individuals have the authority to bind CTC Disaster Response, Inc. in all representations of this proposal.

Sunrise, Suite 2104, Ft Lauderdale, FL 33304 Page 5 of 87 REIMBURSEMENT KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE CTC's team has worked with many states, counties, cites, and monitoring firms to ensure the maximum reimbursement possible. Guidelines for debris removal procedures are clearly defined in the FEMA 325 manual, and each member of our team has familiarized themselves with those guidelines. In most large disaster reimbursement related situations, the municipality will enter into a contract with a debris monitoring firm. However, they have the option to monitor the project themselves, in which they will be assisted by our qualified FEMA specialists. If the City of Sunny Isles Beach, FL chooses to monitor the project themselves, CTC will provide: • Training in FEMA's Debris Management Guide • Training in FEMA's Public Assistance Program and Policy Guide (PAPPG) • Placards for Equipment • Seven Piece Carbon Copy Load Tickets • Trucic Certification Forms • Force Account and Equipment Forms • Proper Personal Protective Equipment • Global Positioning Systems • Digital Cameras • Daily Reports • Adequate personnel for data entry/documentation With CTC's experience on 150+ FEMA reimbursed projects our process and procedures are implemented in a way that the Applicant's federal reimbursement is maximized. CTC understands the rules, regulations and policies required to meet FEMA guidelines. Page 6 of 87 W-9 FROM - -- Form W-9 (Rev.

This strategy is founded on the concept that we, both the agency's staff and the CTC staff, can best do the majority of our critical thinking on a "blue sky day" when time is available to carefully and thoroughly research alternatives to various scenarios. In essence, we can develop a "Project Checklist" to guide us through those first days following the "black sky day." Pre -Event Planning: ➢ Identify and introduce, in person, the CTC Project Team to your staff so that when we are required to work together, we have already established our professional relationship and rapport. ➢ Review with your staff, in detail, the most recent update of the Debris Management Plan to ensure that we understand completely your plan of attack and have those base maps first required in current order. ➢ Ride those roadways listed as having priority to conceptualize the volumes and types of debris that may be encountered during emergency clearance operations. ➢ Review with your staff the identified Temporary Debris Staging and Reduction Sites and the preliminary design established. ➢ Review both your and our Communications Plan to ensure they are compatible and afford interoperability. ➢ Conduct and/or participate in tabletop and functional exercises focused on managing the volumes of documentation required for reimbursement of eligible damage costs. ➢ Participate in all other training and exercises as you may direct. ➢ Conduct on-site classroom training utilizing the FEMA Emergency Management Institute Independent Study Programs for Debris Management, National Incident Management System/Incident Command System (NIMS/ICS), the Public Assistance Program and all updates/new policies and procedures. ➢ Applicants with a FEMA -accepted Debris Management Plan at the time of an event can increase the effectiveness of its debris management operations. Specifically, a Debris Management Plan should improve an Applicant's ability to complete debris removal within the timelines associated with the sliding scale. Applicants may request a one-time, 2% increased Federal cost share incentive. ➢ FEMA's requirements to receive this incentive are that the Applicant must: • Have a FEMA -accepted Debris Management Plan. • Have a pre -qualified debris removal contractor. ➢ Debris Management Plan should include the following: ■ Debris Management Overview ■ Incidents and Assumptions ■ Debris Collection and Removal Plan ■ Debris Removal from Private Property ■ Public Information ■ Health and Safety Requirements ■ Environmental Considerations and other Regulatory Requirements ■ Temporary Debris Management Sites and Disposal Locations Page 35 of 87 ■ Force Account or Contract Resources and Procurement ■ Monitoring of Debris Operations Alert LLLa6�" ➢ As a potential debris -generating weather event approaches, CTC will be in communication with your staff to ensure that our Communication Plans are in current order, and we will begin to alert our Project Team, local area subcontractors, and out -of --area subcontractors that their services may be required in the near future. ➢ As the weather event track is established and the real potential for landfall in an area that may damage your area is established, and at your direction, CTC will mobilize our Project Manager and emergency road clearance crews and equipment to pre -stage at the Operations Base Camp. This will allow for and ensure an immediate damage assessment and mobilization of crews and equipment to those areas previously identified for emergency road clearance operations. Post -Event Operations: The Preliminary Damage Assessment and Emergency Road Clearance operations will begin as soon as wind speeds fall below gale force. Depending upon the severity of damage, additional crews and equipment will be pre -staged just beyond the anticipated damage zone and will be mobilized. It is expected that the majority of the emergency road clearance crews and equipment will be CTC's own and those available from local area subcontractors. ➢ Emergency Road Clearance will start along the primary transportation routes ➢ Temporary Debris Sites, crew and equipment check-in locations, and the availability of housing and camping areas will be inspected to ascertain their availability for immediate/near future use. This information will then be relayed to our Logistics Manager. ➢ During this phase, our crews will be available, at a minimum from sun -up to sun -down. If required, work will continue after dark if it can be performed safely. ➢ Documentation for work performed will be kept on a time and materials basis, utilizing the hourly rates schedules included in the contract. Each morning, a report of the previous days' work will be made to Your Project Manager and include: all labor hours broken down by category; all equipment hours broken down by type and category; and the road segments that have been opened to a minimum of one lane of traffic in each direction. Cumulative summary reports will be made as requested. ➢ As the volume of debris to be managed is estimated, mobilization will begin of additional crews and equipment required during the initial stages of removal. These crews and equipment will stage in close proximity to be ready for immediate deployment upon completion of the road clearance, and as directed by your POC. ➢ Estimated Time Frame: 70 Hours (maximum) Post -Event Operations: Debris Removal, Reduction and Disposal: ➢ During the initial stages of debris removal operations, your staff and CTC will determine what zones and sectors are to be cleared in a prioritized order. This establishment of priorities is important in that it allows you, the Monitors, and our crews and equipment to arrive on -scene in a scheduled manner. This is the "ramp up" stage of operations. Page 36 of 87 ➢ As crews, equipment and monitors are being assigned to debris removal work areas, the CTC Project Team members will continue to work with Your staff to inspect the damages areas for hazardous waste materials; critical drainage ways and navigable waterways that require immediate attention to mitigate further damages; the presence of abandoned automobiles and watercraft that may impede debris operations; In some instances, the of beach sand that has been washed onto private property and roads; and any other elements of destruction that will/may impact or disrupt debris removal operations. ➢ The CTC Project Team and your staff will also be reviewing the need for identification card badges for each crew member that will be working. ➢ The CTC Project Team will also be working closely with the local area landfills to construct additional entrances at the landfills to support the extremely high volume of traffic above that normally experienced. Without these additional infrastructure elements, long wait times will be encountered and severely disrupt the timeliness of debris removal operations. ➢ If a part of the contract language, vehicles and vessels that are abandoned or displaced will each be recovered, moved to a staging/salvage yard, the owner identified and notification made, inspected by their respective owners' insurance agent prior to final disposal methods being determined. ➢ White goods will be segregated from other debris and taken to a staging area at the TDS, where they will be first inspected for the presence of Freon or other coolants, gases, oils and putrefied foods. These potentially hazardous materials will be recovered by an appropriately licensed subcontractor prior to disposal at a recycling facility. ➢ Household hazardous wastes (HHV) will be segregated at the pick-up point prior to removal by a separate crew. This waste will then be disposed of at an appropriately licensed landfill. A separate, bermed, lined and covered temporary staging area will be constructed at each TDSRS for segregation of IIRW that is inadvertently delivered. Removal and disposal will be on an as -needed basis. ➢ Construction and Demolition (C&D) debris will be segregated as much as practicable at the pick-up point, prior to loading for hauling to the appropriately licensed landfill for final disposal. ➢ Hazardous limbs, hazardous trees and hazardous stumps require proper identification and documentation. This information and documentation is required by FEMA for maximum reimbursement of eligible costs and will be accomplished by the Monitor. Once this data is gathered, and hazardous limbs, trees and stumps are authorized for removal, CTC crews will cut, remove, and load for hauling to the TDSRS for volume reduction. ➢ Vegetative debris will be loaded from the public rights-of-way, hauled to the TDS where volume reduction will be accomplished by mulching/grinding and/or burning/incineration. By-products from the reduction process may be used by the Your, gated communities, golf courses, or general recreation areas for landscape purposes, sold to an area paper products company or general manufacturing plant for use as boiler or "hog" fuel, or as the last resort sent to a lawfully permitted local landfill for use as daily cover. ➢ Documentation of debris removal, reduction, recycling, and disposal operations will be primarily by load tickets and based on the cubic yard method of measurement. Daily, cumulative, and summary reports will be made to you. Additional reports detailing completion of passes; numbers of vehicles and/or vessels removed; numbers of white goods managed; and numbers of leaning trees removed, hanging hazardous limbs cut, hazardous stumps removed; and volume of household hazardous waste removed will be generated and provided as you request. Page 37 of 87 Resources• In the case of a major catastrophic event, CTC is on ready and standby for immediate call and can be mobilized within 24 hours following a Notice to Proceed. In addition, CTC maintains an active database of subcontractors from across the nation, the majority of whom have worked with our Project Teams on past debris removal operations. This database contains subcontractors who assist us with trucks and trailers of varying sizes, heavy equipment, CDL drivers, heavy equipment operators, mechanics, skilled and unskilled labor, administrative assistants, clerical staff, contract specialists, on-site fuel delivery, generators, temporary housing, laundry and catering services, hazardous waste specialists, water -borne debris removal specialists, and arborist services. Page 38 of 87 PRE -EVENT COORDINATION RESPONSE TIME Due to our experience with rapid mozation and the need for communication with our %AJ lac 116 partners, CTC has developed procedures to minimize the time necessary to respond to a disaster. We can mobilize the required number of crews and personnel within 24 hours of a Notice to Proceed. In the instance of hurricanes, especially for preposition contracts, response time is even faster. During hurricane season, CTC, Inc. closely watches the buildup of potential tropical storms or hurricanes. As a storm approaches a location for which we have a preposition contract, we will begin placing staff on alert and pre -positioning both staff and equipment. The Regional Manager nearest that location will be responsible for coordinating those efforts. The pre -positioned resources will ➢ Be located as close to the potential impact area as possible without putting them in harm's way. ➢ Have recovery equipment immediately accessible to our contracting partners. We take into consideration that damaged by the storm obviously affects the timely response capability. ➢ Provide local experienced subcontractors who are on standby and alert and will provide details on their resources that can be deployed immediately upon request. As the storm nears landfall, and the potential impact on the area becomes more refined, Our Management Team and specialists will: ➢ Make an initial assessment of the size of the potential debris issues. ➢ Decide what additional resources may be needed, based on that previous assessment. ➢ Determine now those resources will be deployed. ➢ Transmit information to potential subcontractors. In most catastrophic events, our prime subcontractors are familiar with the procedure and headed to the affected areas. ➢ Provide a buildup of resources over a short period of time as needed. Until the immediate response agencies (law enforcement, fire departments, etc.) provide approval, there will be a limitation on the amount of debris removal equipment that can be moved into an area and what operations can be initiated. Immediate Debris Operations: We have in-house resources to begin debris operations almost immediately, especially emergency debris clearance (moving debris to the sides of the roads and streets to allow access of emergency vehicles). As the information regarding the extent of the debris impact areas becomes more exact, the amount and type(s) of equipment required to conduct an efficient operation will become more refined. This general procedure ensures that, in the event of a hurricane (or other disaster that provides some warning), we can have trained, experienced personnel with appropriate equipment on site and working in a minimum amount of time —regardless of the location of that disaster. Page 39 of 87 SASTE2RESP_ONSE In the immediate aftermath of a disaster for which there was no warning (tornado, earthquake, bombing), the deployment procedures developed and used by us still minimize the time required to adequately respond. All equipment is maintained in a ready -to -deploy condition. Personnel are accustomed to short notice, and the internal communications system used by us ensures that key personnel are readily available. In most instances, we can be operational on-site within 24 hours, often before access is permitted to portions of the damaged area. Frequently, that time is much less than 24 hours after receipt of a Notice to Proceed. We understand the necessity to begin debris operations quickly and conduct them efficiently. Page 40 of 87 TECHNICAL APPROACH POST DISASTER Mobilization an, This Mobilization Plan outlines the approach strategy that CTC, Inc. uses after a state of disaster. We fully recognize and comprehend that it is our pre-emptive duty to ensure sure that this plan is carried out in a time of emergency when you may have no way to communicate with us. Therefore, we assume the responsibility of being able to move into the impacted area and carry out our assigned mission, with full capability, no matter how severe the damage may be. Our years of experience tell us that when equipment is brought in from multiple different directions, including right here in your community, we can provide a more expedient mobilization. With a pre -event contract in place, we can plan in advance to call resources in from numerous different locations, and via numerous different routes of entry. Our subcontractors, who are local to your area, are experienced and aware of the needs of CTC, Inc. They become integral members of our advance planning team. Their input and area knowledge are called up during both advance planning, and post -event response operations. For those events that impact is forecast (hurricanes, tropical storms, ice storms, and floods) there is advance warning and an ability to monitor and track the developing weather pattern. For these predictable events, sufficient time is allowed for confirmation of situation -specific pre -planning efforts and preparation which ultimately allows for a more rapid and coordinated mobilization. With these forecast events, CTC, Inc. will identify several staging areas within a 50 -100 mile radius of the forecast impact zone and mobilize the equipment and manpower needed for the immediate push. Through this advance planning, we can guarantee an immediate response to the emergency clearance of debris from the roadways phase of operations. CTC, Inc. will pre -position personnel and equipment in your community when directed. We will identify several points and paths of entry into your community/damage zone can be made. The number and use of these areas will depend largely on the size and destructive force of the event that is being responded to. In addition, multiple points -of -entry or paths into critical response zones will be identified. The CTC, Inc. Project Manager will be in close contact with your designed POC, as the event impact draws closer. If required, we will arrive with our advance team and position ourselves in your Emergency Operations Center (EOC) or other suitable Debris Command Center prior to the landfall of a storm, regardless of anticipated storm category. Coordination can then be affected regarding the entry of response entry into the damage zone. The Mobile Command Center will normally be in place within 24 hours, if required, after the Notice to Proceed and provide the communication link between all agencies and provide a field site for daily briefings and coordination. This Command Center enables CTC, Inc. to have unlimited access, via satellite, that will provide phone, fax and broadband internet connection regardless of damage to cable and local wireless infrastructure. CTC, Inc. has established the following schedules of crew deployment for your community. The quantity and make-up of crews required will be made during the Initial Damage Assessment (IDA) stage, immediately following the event. Categories of hurricanes have been selected as representative indicators of the damage likely to occur. These only represent a baseline on which to illustrate our mobilization schedule for you.

CTC will also monitor its performance daily, and after consultation with you, will bring more resources as necessary to meet your developing schedule for work output. Operations and Management Plan: In general terms, following a written Notice to Proceed, CTC, Inc. debris management work will typically consist of the following, as listed in chronological (though often overlapping or concurrent) order. Each of these work tasks will be closely coordinated with and as directed by City or County staff. 1) Pushing and clearing debris from primary arterial highways that serve previously identified critical facilities. No attempt to remove debris is made at this time. The objective of this "cut and toss" effort is to open roadways to emergency response vehicular traffic. This work is conducted during the "emergency period" immediately following the event with FEMA guidelines limiting it to the first 70 work hours and may include working between sundown and sunup. A great emphasis is placed on safety during this time as downed power line present a true hazard to the health and safety of response crews. Close coordination with the local electrical company will be conducted throughout this period. 2) During this timeframe, debris removal equipment and personnel will begin to be "checked in" with all necessary documentation gathered, and trucks and trailers measured (CY) for maximum load carrying capacity and identification placards installed. Also, during this time, the Temporary Debris Sites (TDS) will be located, regulatory approval gained for, and construction for operations begun. 3) As soon as the TDS is ready to receive debris (interior haul roads established and traffic control patt erns formulated; site does not need to be ready for reduction/recycling efforts at this time), debris removal crews will be dispatched to begin gathering, loading and hauling debris to its designated site (vegetative debris will be taken to the TDS and Construction and Demolition (C&D) debris will be taking to a local, lawfully permitted landfill or other site as may be specified. Page 42 of 87 4) As the number of crews and equipment increases (called the "ramp up" period), so does the need for qualified monitors to be assigned to each crew, or zone. These monitors will issue load tickets for each load of debris managed and certify to reimbursement agencies its "eligibility." Our crews are generally kept in the same zone and sector throughout the clean-up. This helps to identify responsible parties when damage to private property is reported, investigated, and resolved. 5) Citizen drop-off points may be established in the community. This gives those citizens who wish to remove debris from their private property as place to bring it, and greatly reduces the number of illegal dumping complaints that will be received. CTC, Inc. will provide the necessary equipment and manpower to safely operate these sites and clean them of all debris at the end of each day. 6) As debris removal operations progress, and the TDS is made ready for reduction/recycling operations (including baseline environmental (soil and groundwater sampling when required), debris removal crews will continue on a daily, uninterrupted basis, to haul vegetative debris and recyclables to the TDS. C&D debris will continue to be hauled to a local, lawfully permitted landfill. Additional crews will be brought in to conduct all tree trimming and stump removal operations. 7) Debris removal crews will normally make three scheduled passes in each zone and sector. Approximately 60% of all debris managed is removed from the right -of --way during the first pass. Once the majority of vegetative and C&D debris have been removed, White Goods (washers, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, air conditioning units, stoves, water heaters, and dishwashers) will be loaded and hauled to either the TDS for recycling, or to a local, lawfully permitted landfill as directed. 8) Multiple scheduled passes will be made until debris removal operations are completed, as determined by the government contracting agency. 9) As debris operations begin to come to a close (the "ramp down" period), crews and equipment that are no longer required will be released from duty. 10) Once all activities are completed at the TDS, site closure will begin. This includes, but is not limited to the following: • Removal of all debris reduction by-products. • Removal of all equipment, office trailers, inspection towers, and portable toilets and wash stations. • Removal of all stone utilized to create points of ingress and egress, interior haul roads, and parking areas. • Removal of all site features (fencing and erosion control) that may have been constructed. • End-of4ob environmental samples are taken, tested, and compared to baseline samples. • CTC, Inc. will then request a final inspection from the appropriate government official. A "punch list" of items to be corrected is developed and final closure action taken. Only upon mutual, written agreement between the property owner, government official, and CTC, Inc. Project/Operations Manager is a site considered closed. Debris removal, reduction and disposal work hours are generally defined as from sun -up to sundown, seven (7) days/week, including holidays. This schedule will be coordinated with, and approval gained from local officials. This chronology of debris operations is defined in general terms only. Additional specific items of work may be directed by the local officials and work performed by CTC, Inc. All work will be performed so as to not interfere, to the greatest Page 43 of 87 DISASTER RESPONSE extent possible, with all other emergency response agencies, including but not limited to: utility companies, government agencies, volunteers and local government forces. Debris Volume Estimation: Estimating the volume of debris generated following an event is not an exact science. At CTC, Inc. we utilize several different methodologies to make "an educated estimation." These include utilization of the US Army Corps of Engineers Hurricane Debris Volume Estimation Model; a per household times the total number of households method; a per mile of roadway times the total miles of roadway method; and other data as may be available. Each of these methodologies and estimates is led by an experienced CTC, Inc. team member who has a significant history in making just these type estimates of material on the ground. Billing/Invoices: At the conclusion of each day's work activities, daily reports and load tickets are collected from all CTC, Inc. supervisory personnel. Then are then reviewed for completeness and correctness and entered into our proprietary database. This data entry is normally accomplished at our headquarters office where will maintain workstations for this purpose. This data entry normally follows the work effort by just one day, meaning that the City will have nearly real-time data throughout the project. Invoices are normally generated on a bi-weekly or monthly basis, dependent upon the schedule mutually agreed upon. Our records are maintained for a minimum of ten (10) years to ensure that we can support whatever request the City may have, particularly during the audit that will be performed by DHS/FEMA.

Page 44 of 87 TEMPORARY DEBRIS SITE (TDS) PLAN In conjunction with your local government representative, CTC will develop a site-specific plan for each Temporary Debris Site (TDS) we are tasked with operating. The Plan will address the following items, as appropriate, with additional subjects as may be required, 1. Site Management Organization and Responsibilities This will provide all involved parties a clear delineation of the organization at the site, and the responsibilities assigned to each. It also facilitates quality control at the site. 2. Startup Check List This list is developed to ensure that all of the work tasks involved in the clearing and preparation of a site are addressed and can be "checked off' the list as they are completed. 3. Ingress/Egress Initially, these stabilized roads will be constructed to bring in the equipment necessary to prepare the site for operations. They will then be used by haul trucks to bring debris into the site for proper handling. The roads will be maintained throughout the entire operation. 4. Site Preparation This includes clearing, grading, establishment of erosion control and baseline testing for soil and groundwater. The site must be carefully cleared and graded to ensure proper drainage, while minimizing erosion. All environmental concerns related to buffer zones, runoff, and potential impacts to nearby streams, air, and groundwater will be addressed. 5. Traffic Control Procedures Depending upon the extent of traffic control required this may require an appendix entitled "Maintenance of Trac". It will address Lite movement of vehicles into and out of the site and include provisions for keeping the streets or roads free of debris. 6. Safety There are many actives wn a TDS, including the diverse array of heavy equipment operating; large volumes of debris hauling trucks dumping their loads; potentially hazardous debris; maintenance activities; tub grinders and air curt ain incinerators being operated; and large numbers of personnel. A diligent and concentrated focus on safety must be of paramount importance to everyone at the site. Safety is a part of every plan written by CTC personnel and is continually emphasized. 7. Segregation of Debris In order to be properly managed throughout the reduction/recycling and disposal processes, all incoming debris must be segregated into various categories, including Household Hazardous Waste (HHW), Vegetative Debris, Construction and Demolition (C&D) Debris, White Goods, Small Engine Equipment and Electronic Waste. Page 45 of 87 ::Tc IMM • _ ..� /I 8. Site Plan A Site Plan will be drawn to identify Lite location of all activities, and include traffic control, Inspection Tower location, and dumping, grinding, burning, ash storage, HHW storage, temporary office, "Clear Zones" and portable toilet and hand wash station locations. 9. Reporting Requirements CTC maintains an extensive record of the activities that occur at a Temporary Debris Site, including the number and identification of trucks, volume of debris entering the site, types of debris, etc. CTC, INC. can provide a wide range of reports. The types and schedules for preparing and submitting reports required by the COR will be contained in the plan. 10. Site Closure A site closure plan will be developed and address the removal of all debris and debris reduction by-products, haul roads and dump pads, security fencing, office trailers, portable toilets and hand wash stations, Inspection Towers. Sampling of soil and groundwater will be taken as required and compared to the baseline data gathered. Each site will be returned to its original condition, or as may be desired, and approved by, the property owner and your local government representative. Page 46 of 87 VEHICLE INSPECTION TOWER INFO Inspection towers are provided as per contract guidelines. The cost of these towers is a part of our proposal and costs to be absorbed by the company. Towers are built and provided at the various selected temporary debris sites/locations designated by the Site -Specific Management Plan (SSSP). Tower construction is as follows: ➢ The frame and body of the inspection tower is constructed with pressure treated wood. ➢ The floor is an 8"x 8" area, elevated 10 feet above a leveled ground area. ➢ All towers are constructed of 2"x 8" joists, 16" O.C. with 3/4 inch plywood supported by 6"x 6" posts. A 446ot-high wall constructed of 2"x 4" studs, and %Z inch plywood protects the perimeter of the floor area. ➢ The floor shall be covered with a solid roof. The roof will provide 7 feet of headroom below the support beams. The tower will be adequately anchored and wooden steps with handrails will be constructed to provide access. ➢ A worktable, 4' x 2 %2 x 3/4 inch plywood supported at all four corners will also be built. ➢ A temporary mechanical lift may be used until a fixed inspection tower is constructed.

Many of these subcontractors have partnered with CTC in a variety of different projects over the past 17 years. CTC prides itself on its relationship with these hardworking companies and mutual trust exists between us. CTC is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We strive to meet or exceed all subcontracting goals identified in your Request for Proposal. We identify all subcontractors regarding certifications as MWBE, SBE, 8A, or Hub zone. We have extensive databases for all areas throughout the U.S., so that we can actively identify the qualified ones for your proposal. Additionally, CTC appreciates the input from our contracting partners on recommendations and referrals of qualified, licensed, insured contractors with the required experience for your event. The knowledge of the area, their relationship with your citizens is a plus to CTC and its mission. SUBCONTRACTING PLAN AND UTILIZATION: CTC will utilize a workforce comprised of in-house personnel and subcontractors specializing in various phases of debris management, disposal, and recycling. As stated previously, we will identify local subcontractors already in our network as well as hire as many contractors and laborers as available in an effort to allow members of disaster struck communities to take part in the reconstruction process, and to assist the community financially and economically. The majority of these subcontracts will fill positions for hauling of debris to TDS, hauling of debris to final disposal sites, hauling debris for recycling purposes. Subcontractors will provide trucks and trailers that meet all USACE requirements for safety, licensing, permitting and registrations. Subcontractors will provide copies of all licenses upon request, and will stay with their assigned areas, completing the assigned task. These crews will work in a methodical manner until they have fulfilled their area's cleanup requirements. CTC will seek local, qualified individuals for employment during the disaster cleanup and reconstruction phase, including placing advertisements in the local newspapers and visiting the local employment office. Positions for laborers, data entry, flaggers, monitors, and other personnel will assist CTC in our task. Temporary employment agencies may be used to provide manpower to complete the task, but only after the proper screening and submission of drug tests. Unless otherwise stipulated in your contract, twenty-five percent (25%) of the total amount of work to be performed will be by CTC personnel and equipment. CTC will operate with our specialized and trained reduction personnel. CTC has commitment letters from contractors across all the continental United States. SUBCONTRACTORS AGREEMENTS AND RESPONSIBILITY: Page 53 of 87 ►S T_A W WJ / I Subcontractors for CTC are committed contractually to complete their assignments as instructed, and must attend all safety meetings, follow the chain of command, and report to the CTC COR daily to keep projects moving forward. CTC is known for its open line of communications, and for the respect we have for our subcontractors. All subcontractors are required to attend weekly tailgate meetings, sign CTC's drug-free workplace statement and to conform to all operating policies as set forth our project management team. All CTC subcontractors are familiar with the proper use of ADMS electronic reporting procedures, the latest technologies in recording and monitoring procedures, and are trained in the proper documentation for the benefit of all concerned. CTC subcontractors are aware of all charge back procedures for damages, provide daily reports to CTC site supervisors, and act as good -will diplomats to citizens, making the cleanup efforts as stress free as possible in an emergency situation. A copy of our Subcontractor's agreement is either included in this proposal or may be accessed by contacting the corporate office. These agreements have been reviewed by attorneys for various states so that they meet the contracting laws of the particular state in which we are working. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION: A list of qualified, experienced, insured, prequalified subcontractors for your area is included in this proposal (If required in the proposal), or may be accessed at our corporate office upon request. This list is proprietary information and not to be shared with the public. Page 54 of 87 :TC ► _ 0 /I LOCAL AND MINORITY PARTICIPATION CTC fully complies with guidelines regarding Local and Minority Participation. We have an established corporate policy regarding minority participation, which can be referenced in our Affirmative Action and M/WBE Policy at our offices unless otherwise requested. One of the major strengths of CTC is our ability to recognize the importance of utilizing local, qualified contractors. Depending on the time frame, and whether this is a standby, pre -disaster contract or an emergency situation, CTC uses procedures necessary to ensure the use of local contractors and personnel. In a non -emergency situation, we can place ads in the local newspapers, check with temporary services or state employment services. We also rely heavily on recommendations from the County commissioners or City officials in all situations. Emergency situations have prompted us to pull together with contracting agencies to recognize the strengths in their own communities. We appreciate the input provided by local officials in screening potential subcontractors and personnel. The ability of the commissioners or other local community officials to suggest or recommend those that meet all requirements for experience, equipment and insurance qualifications is a benefit in the successful operation and completion of projects of any size or scope. Based upon the availability of qualified minority personnel in the area we strive to meet or exceed the normal requirements for this event. As an integral part of the contract, we establish contacts with several local, 8A and minority companies. We intend to use the services of qualified, local personnel to fill positions as needed and upon recommendation of the contracting agency. All local and minority personnel will be screened to meet the requirements, including licensing and insurance requirements of CTC, Inc. We also include listings of Certified M/WBE Contractors as are available and which provides updated information for this project. CTC has committed minority contractors who have performed on CTC contracts over the past several years. We use the recommended channels to further investigate the availability, the experience, and the reputation of each local and/or minority contractor to serve the best interest of the contracting agency. Due to the nature of the business, CTC relies heavily on the utilization of state personnel agencies, local private placement agencies and temporary services. We also use the services of the local Small Business Administration (SBA) office when available and local trade organizations. Our goals as stated in our Affirmative Action Policy are traditionally greater than those of most contract requirements. Additionally, the types of personnel required and their interest in the project varies from location to location.

These barriers are: 1) Lack of qualified disadvantaged subcontractors in our specific geographical areas of work. 2) Lack of certified disadvantage subcontractors who seek to perform under specified contracts. 3) Lack of interest in performing under specified contracts. 4) Lack of response when requested to bid. 5) Limited knowledge of the specified governmental contracts plans and specifications to prepare a responsible bid. In view of the barriers to disadvantaged businesses stated above, it shall be the policy of CTC, Inc. to provide opportunity by utilizing the following affirmative action methods to ensure participation on the contracts with the various and individual governmental contracts. CTC, Inc. will: 1) Provide written notice to all cert ified DBE subcontractors in the geographical area where the work is to be subcontracted; 2) Advertise in minority focused media concerning subcontract opport unities with the Company; 3) Select portions of the work to be performed by DBEs in order to increase the likelihood of meeting contract goals (including, where appropriate, breaking down contracts into economically feasible units to facilitate DBE participation); 4) Provide adequate information about the plans, specifications, and requirements of the contract, not rejecting subcontractors without sound reasons based on a thorough investigation of their capabilities; Page 57 of 87 5) Waive requirements of performance bonds where it is practical to do so; 5) Attend pre-bid meetings held by the governmental contracting agency to apprise disadvantaged subcontractors of opportunities with the Company; 7) Follow up on initial solicitations of interest to DBE subcontractors to determine with certainty whether the company is interested in the subcontract opportunity. CTC, Inc. understands that this list of affirmative action methods is not exhaustive and will include additional approaches after having established familiarity with the disadvantaged subcontracting community and/or determined the stated approaches to be ineffective. III. IMPLEMENTATION On contracts with specific DBE goals, CTC, Inc. will make every effort to meet contract goals as stated by utilizing its affirmative action methods. On projects with no specific goals, CTC will as an expression of good faith, seek to utilize BE subcontractors where work is to be subcontracted. IV. REPORTING 1) CTC, Inc. shall keep and maintain such records as are necessary to illustrate and demonstrate compliance with its' DBE Affirmative Action Plan. 2) CTC, Inc. will design its record keeping system to indicate: 3) The number of DBE subcontractors and suppliers used, including items of work, materials and services provided; 4) The efforts and progress being made in obtaining DBE subcontractors through local and community sources; 5) Documentation of all contracts, to include correspondence, telephone calls, newspaper advertisements, etc., to obtain DBE participation on all governmental agencies' projects; 6) CTC, Inc. shall comply with any governmental agencies requirements regarding payments to subcontractors including DBE's for each month (estimate period) in which the companies have worked. V. DBE DIRECTORIES CTC, Inc. will utilize the DBE Directory published by each governmental agency for that specific city, state, county and/or region, including agencies such as Natural Resources Conservation Service, State Departments of Transportation, and other required agencies. CTC, Inc. will distribute Form Number 275-030-01, Schedule A Cert ification Form Number 1, to potential DBE contractors and assist in their completion. Page 58 of 87 SAFETY AND QUALITY CONTROL PLAN Accident Prevention: For the protection and safety of all employees, CTC has established the following rules designed to prevent accident and injuries. Compliance with these rules is mandatory. Documentation will be made when the rules are distributed to new employees. • Proper footwear and clothing will be worn at all times. • Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or keep long hair in a down position. There is a danger of catching such articles in moving machinery. • Horseplay, running, fighting or any activity that may result in injury or waste will not be tolerated. • Appropriate personal protective equipment, or PPE, will be worn for the task (s) at hand, as specified by training and job briefing (s). • Operate machinery with all guards in place. Tampering with safety devices is cause for immediate disciplinary action. • Do not operate any machine you are not familiar with or have not been trained on and authorized to use. • Machines must never be cleaned, adjusted or repaired until the machine is turned off, the circuit is interrupted at the power source (including lock -out) and a warning tag is placed at the controls. • Any defects in materials, machinery, tools and equipment must be reported immediately to a supervisor, safety personnel, or management. • Do not leave tools, materials, or other objects on the floor that might cause others to trip and fall. • Do not block exits, fire doors, aisles, fi re extinguishers, gas meters, electrical panels or traffic lanes. • Avoid injury by attempting to lift or push excessive loads. If an object is too heavy to move without strains, ask for help. • Observe the correct posture for lifting. Stand with your feet slightly apart, assume a squatting position with knees bent, and tuck your chin into your chest. Tilt head forward, grasp the load with both hands, and gradually push up with your legs, keeping your back straight and avoiding any abrupt movement. • Do no distract others while working. When approaching a coworker for any purpose, do so from the front or the side in a i way that they will see you coming and will not be startled or surprised. If conversaton is necessary, first make sure that it is safe. • Do not allow oil, water or any other material to remain on the floor for long periods of time where you or others may slip. Report any slip and fall problems to your supervisor. • When handling hazardous materials be sure to follow prescribed safety procedures and use required safety equipment. When using secondary containers filled by others, be sure they are labeled as to their contents and hazards. Know your Material Data Safety Sheets (MSDS) and where they are located. Review them often. • Use appropriate gloves when handling materials with sharp or jagged edges, when handling chemicals, when handling hot material, or to protect your hands in general. • Do not attempt to operate machinery for which you are not trained. • Unnecessary and excessive haste is the cause for many accidents. Exercise caution at all times. • All work-related injuries and accidents, no matter how minor, must be reported immediately to your supervisor, safety personnel, or management. Page 59 of 87 • Employees should understand and comply with all sections of the ANSI 2133.1 Standard that apply to their job activities. All employees must be thoroughly familiar with these basic safety rules. Failure to comply with safety rules or procedures, or failure to wear the appropriate safety equipment, will result in disciplinary action up to and including termination. Quality Control Plan: If required, CTC can have a Certified Arborist on site to ensure the quality of work performed by all CTC employees. All employees have been trained in Arboriculture practices upon employment. Certifications include and are not limited to: L S.A. —International Society of Arboriculture K.A.A. —Kansas Arborists Association T.C.I.A. —Tree Care Industry Association Constant monitoring of all crews will be provided daily to ensure safety and the quality of work performed is attained. CTC will meet with the client's representative for a quality check on completed work to ensure client satisfaction. If there is an issue that needs corrected, it will be done so in a timely manner. Safety &Protection Plans &Submittals: The following policies of CTC are not inflexible rules or requirements. They may be changed by the company at any time without notice or modified as individual circumstances may require in the best interests of efficient management of the Company. Nothing in the policies as they now exist, or may in the future be revised, is intended or should be construed as a contract of employment, express or implied, nor as a promise of employment for a specific period of time, nor as a requirement that any specific procedure be followed in handling personnel issues. Company management will provide safe and healthy working conditions. All employees must follow safe practices at all times. All employees must accept and follow all rules of safety. Whenever an employee finds an unsafe condition, they must report it immediately to their supervisor, safety personnel, or management. Any injury that occurs on the job, even a slight cut or strain, is to be reported to management as soon as possible. In no circumstance except an emergency, should an employee leave a shift without reporting an injury that occurred. All employees including office personnel will be trained in safe practices. The training will be done by video or by training from the employees' supervisor. If any unsafe practices are observed, the employee will receive a writt en violation warning. Once the employee receives three (3) written warnings, he or she will be automatically suspended for one (1) workday without pay. CTC will make every effort to maintain safe working conditions. However, the principal responsibility for safety falls upon you, the employee. All employees are asked to inform their supervisor, safety committee personnel, or management of any work hazards of which they might be aware. CTC will arrange for you to supply information anonymously if you do not Page 60 of 87 ::TC RP1 • _ •. // wish to be identified. No employee should fear reprisal for notifying management of any safety hazards. In fact, we encourage all employees to inform us immediately of any hazard, no matter how small it may seem. All safety and health suggestions that we receive will be reviewed. We will then determine what action is necessary. All suggestions shall receive a response. The injured employee's supervisor or a member of management will investigate all occupational injuries and illnesses that are job-related. Particular attention will be given to methods that prevent future situations that caused the injury or illness. All employees will receive prompt and timely safety training. Safety rules and safe practices will be emphasized at these training sessions. All new employees will receive a copy of the summary, to be signed and put in their file, indicating that they have been trained at the beginning of employment. Any employee given anew job assignment, for which training has not previously been received, will be trained in that particular job immediately. Records will be kept of all training provided. These records will indicate the type of training given, date, the name of the training provider and the employee's signature. Basic Safety Accident &Protection Plans: All Employees of CTC will adhere to the following safety and accident protection plans while working. Employee responsibilities for safety include the following: • Adhere to all safety rules and regulations. • Wear appropriate safety equipment as required. • Maintain equipment in good condition, with all safety guards in place hewn in operation. • Report all injuries and near misses, no matter how minor, immediately to their supervisor, safety personnel or management. • Encourage coworkers to work safely. • Report unsafe acts and conditions to their supervisor, safety personnel, or management. Safety Coordinators: Greg Gathers (785) 221-7550 Jeremy Britton (256) 7494 886 Others TBD One or all the Safety Coordinators listed above will be on site at all times and will be responsible for overseeing safety on site throughout the duration of the contract. The numbers listed above are cell phone numbers and all employees will have cell phones and/or two-way radios for communication. ANSI 2133 Standard &Employee Understanding: Page 61 of 87 ZTC _PIN101.�q F/I As an employee of CTC, you need to review and understand the requirements of the ANSI 2.133.1-2000 Standard. You need to understand that the 2133 Standard was developed by arboriSLS, for arborists under the standards -developing procedures created by the American National Standards Institute, creating what these industry's safety experts feel are the minimum acceptable standards of practice for safety in arboriculture. It represents the collective wisdom and experience of countless arborists. You need to understand the difference between "Should" and "Shall" as they are used in the standard. The word Should" indicates an advisory statement where it is feasible that the actions you take might be different from the prescribed practice. A "Shall" indicates a mandatory requirement, where it is inconceivable that your actions would have to deviate from the prescribed practice, expect where exceptions are noted in the Standard. Finally, you need to understand that the 2133 Standard does not take precedence over, or take the place of, the safe work policies of CTC. Safety Rules —Accident Prevention: For the protection and safety of all employees, CTC has established the following rules designed to prevent accidents and injuries. Compliance with these rules is mandatory.

MSD signs are decreased range of motion, deformity, decreased grip strength and loss of function. MSD symptoms are numbness, burning, pain, tingling, cramping and stiffness. Other hazards that apply to some/all of the above tasks: Drug Use and/or Alcohol Abuse; Fatigue; Fire; Lyme Disease; Poisonous Plants; Violent Workers/Customers; Weather, Back Injury Prevention: Causes of Back Injury Pulling, twisting, and slipping are the most common causes of back injuries. Lifting objects improperly can also hurt the back. Lifting with the back and not the legs, lifting from an awkward position, or tying to move material too large for one person can lead to injury. Even simple movements can cause back injury. Stepping from a truck, bending over for a small tool, or over -reaching can strain back muscles. Table 1 below ranks the most fr equent causes of back injury in tree care in descending order. Table 1 -How Back Injuries Happen Lifting... Large objects Irregularly shaped objects Page 66 of 87 Over Lite shoulder Twisting... While feeding brush into the chipper While positioning in a bucket or a tree While dragging brush, reaching, using long poles From sudden slips due to poor ground conditions On slippery equipment in snow or rain Jumping... Off truck bed or out of truck cab Over fences Off ladders Out of trees Pulling... Ropes hangers Trees, on removals Muscle strains and sprains -soft tissue injuries -cause most arborists' back problems. These are temporary injuries. More important, strains and sprains usually precede more serious, chronic and debilitating injuries to the ligaments, discs and vertebrae. In a sense, soft tissue injuries are warning signals that more serious, permanent injury could occur. Therefore, your back -injury prevention program should focus on preventing strains and sprains. Preventive measures Arborists can keep their backs healthy with stretching and exercise, by knowing how the back works, and by using simple lifting techniques. Here are attainable objectives for your company's back injury prevention program: Provide continuous training for all employees to raise their awareness of how the back can be injured. Develop action steps employees can use to detect and eliminate conditions likely to cause back injury- see this program's sections on hazard reporting (16), safety committees (23), job hazard assessment (15) and job briefings (17). Motivate employees to take responsibility for back safety at work and at home. Page 67 of 87 MSASTER_RESPONSE The following procedures are taken from Annex C of the ANSI 2.133 Standard: Before lifting any weight: Be sure clear the travel path available if the weight is to be carried from one place to another. Decide exactly how the object should be grasped to avoid sharp edges, slivers, splinters, or other things that might cause injury. • Make a preliminary lift to be sure the load can be safely handled. • Place feet solidly on the walking surface. • Crouch as close to the load as possible with legs bent at an angle of about 90 degrees. • Keep back as straight as possible. It may be far from vertical but should not be arched. • Lift with the legs, not the back, keeping the weight as close to the body as possible. • Use a second worker when necessary. Stretching and exercises The professional athlete must maintain a high level of production and effort to win. The same is true for an arborist, who must perform at peak efficiency. Strains of the lower back muscles, the most common back injury, usually occur because the muscles are cold and tight. If the athlete warms up and stretches to avoid injury, then why not the tree worker? CTC will provide you with information on simple, quick warm-up/stretches that you can perform prior to heavy exertion. Early Return to Work CTC participates in an Early Return to Work Program with local providers closest to job site for the treatment of all work- related injuries. If you are ured at work, you must report the injury to your supervisor immediately. If medical treatment is necessary and you haven't designated a treating physician, you must go to the nearest medical facility. You must also complete an Employee Claim for Workers' Compensation Benefits form as soon after an accident as possible. If you are unable to return to the regular position due to a workplace injury, you should discuss with the doctor the possibility of working in a light duty job until the doctor releases you for full duty. If the doctor releases you for light duty, your supervisor will be notified the same day. Modified jobs will be identified after obtaining your physical restrictions. "Modified" might be your regular job, modified by removing heavier tasks and reassigning these to other employees; a different regular job currently existing at the workplace; or a job which is specifically designed around your restrictions. A modified job offer will be made only when the work is available and of benefit to the company. Part-time work will be considered as modified work, if medically indicated. Each case will be assessed individually based on need. Modified work may not be implemented every time there is a loss claim. Wages will not necessarily be the same as that of the regular job. If you take off work completely, or if light duty work is unavailable, you must report your medical condition and progress to the supervisor at least once a week. Page 68 of 87 Disciplinary Procedures Employees who fail to comply with safety rules will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination. Supervisors will follow the normal disciplinary procedures as follows: 1) Verbal counseling must be documented in the employee's personnel file. 2) Written warning -outlining nature of offense and necessary corrective action. 3) Suspension without pay -once (1) working day without pay -the third step or a separate disciplinary action resulting from a serious violation. 4) Termination -if an employee is to be terminated, specific and documented communication between the supervisor and the employee must occur. Supervisors will be subject to disciplinary action for the following reasons: • Repeated safety rule violation by their department employees. • Failure to provide adequate training prior to job assignment. • Failure to report accidents and provide medical attention to employees injured at work. • Failure to control unsafe conditions or work practices. • Failure to maintain good housekeeping standards and cleanliness in their departments. Supervisors who fail to maintain high standards of safety within their departments will be demoted or terminated after three documented warnings have been levied during any calendar year. Accident Reporting &Investigation It is the policy of CTC to carry out a thorough program of accident reporting and investigation. Supervisory personnel will be primarily responsible for conducting an investigation of all accidents in their area. Accidents involving fire, death, serious injury, or extensive property damage will be investigated jointly by the supervisor and upper management. The primary goal of the accident investigation program is the prevention of future accidents through the use of knowledge derived from the investigation. Additionally, the investigation will be used to prepare reports required by Federal and State law as well as the Workers Compensation insurance carrier. These reports are critical in establishing the company's and the supervisor's liability under the law. When an employee is injured at work the supervisor is responsible for taking emergency action to have fist aid administered, to obtain professional medical attention as soon as possible, and to protect other employees and equipment. The supervisor must then begin to investigate the circumstances of the accident. The following procedures have been found to be effective when investigating accidents. Go to the scene of the accident at once. Talk with the injured person if possible. Talk to witnesses. Stress getting the facts -not placing blame or responsibility. Ask open-ended questions. Listen for clues in the conversations around you. Page 69 of 87 ZTC Encourage people to give their ideas for preventing a similar accident. Study possible causes -unsafe conditions, unsafe practices. Confer with interested persons about possible solutions Write your accident report giving a complete accurate account of the accident. Follow up to make sure conditions are corrected. If they cannot be corrected immediately, report this to your supervisor. Publicize corrective action taken so that all may benefit from the experience. Notes the Safety Coordinators) as well as the Project Officer (PO) and immediately with information regarding with whom, how, where, when, seriousness of accident and medical treatment received of the injuredperson orpersons whenever an accident occurs. Accident scenes shall not be disturbed until released by investigating personnel with the exception of emergency rescue and emergency measures. Vehicle Accidents -What to do: Make sure your vehicle has a fully stocked accident kit. The kit should contain: • Current vehicle registration • Current proof of vehicle insurance • Several business cards from the owner or manager • Pen, and or pencil • Accident report ing form from your office and insurance company • Trailer registration if applicable • Several witness cards Attend to all injured victims. Assess the situation and attend to the most seriously injured first. Do not move any victim unless there is danger from other vehicles and traffic, or danger of fire or explosion. Do not move vehicles. The police need to see the accident prior to moving any vehicle (s). Protect the scene of the accident by placing flares, flags, or reflectors where they can be seen by approaching traffic. Physically direct traffic around the accident scene if necessary; do not expose yourself to danger in traffic. If your vehicle is moved, get the name of the person or company that moved it. If it is removed from the scene, find out where it is taken. Conduct your own investigation. Get the names, addresses, phone numbers, driver's license number, vehicle license numbers, and insurance companies of all persons involved, year, make, and model of all vehicles involved. Offer the same information about yourself and your vehicle to others involved. Contact the office to let them know what has happened, and whether anyone was injured and/or taken to a hospital for emergency treatment. Do not admit fault or discuss the accident with anyone except the office of police. Non -Emergency Injuries If necessary, any employees) requiring treatment for all non -emergency injuries, or post emergency medical treatment has been provided by local hospital, will be transferred to: TBD. Page 70 of 87 Emergency Action Plan The following details the organizational structure of our plan and outlines emergency measures to be taken in the event of fire or other emergency. Remember, your conduct and actions during the first few minutes of any emergency may not only save your life, but the lives of your fellow workers and other members of the community as well. Each truck will have emergency numbers available for ambulance, physician, hospital, fire and local police. Use most effective means of communication based on your location (cellular phone — if adequate service), two-way radio, hard line telephone or other acceptable means, General Information Two important telephone calls need to be made if the facility is to be evacuated because of a fire or disaster within the facility, or an external hazardous condition threatening the facility. If either of these two situations occurs; notify 911 (Emergency Medical Services and Police), Upon order of management if you are working near a building and a fire breaks out, call emergency numbers if you cannot contain. Going into a building to let someone know of a Ere outside the building is acceptable, however, the occupants will have their own safety officer and should have already been briefed in evacuation procedures, Materials and supplies to be evacuated include, but may not be limited to, first aid kits, the MSDS binder and the personnel roster, Responsibilities The Safety Director will: - Coordinate the Emergency Evacuation Plan throughout the facility. Make certain the Program is familiar to all personnel and that all new employees are promptly oriented, - Schedule education as necessary. The Safety Director will be aided by the Supervisors who will: - Facilitate the Emergency Evacuation Plan. - Keep contact check on all personnel to be sure that they are completely familiar with all phases of the Plan that they are required to know. - See that personnel participate in awareness training, fire classes, and other practice sessions as necessary. - Be certain that all personnel are familiar with Bre extinguishers and make thorough fire prevention inspections when they are assigned to do so. Take the necessary steps required to correct any fire hazards discovered. It is the duty of every employee to: - Be completely familiar with the Emergency Evacuation Plan and their duties of responsibilities in the program. - Participate in all fire drills and practice sessions. Attend all fire training classes when assigned. Page 71 of 87 Learn the location of, and how to operate all fire extinguishing equipment. Report any fire and/or safety hazard. Fire Emergency Plan Keep Ca1m.00Report all fires and smoke Personnel have been assigned to: Notify the fire department 1) For Emergency situation call 911. 2) For Non -Emergency situation call the COO. The person reporting the fire to the fire department will provide them with the following information. • Custom Tree Care, Inc. • Address of incident • What is burning (machines, paper, etc.) • Location of fire (roof, plant, office, etc.) • Type of fire (electrical, liquid, etc.) Additional assignments have been made to attempt to extinguish fire with the use of on -premises equipment (extinguishers, hoses, etc.). A minimum of two persons is required to fight a fire. To ensure employee safety, this is to be done only during the early stages of the fire. If the fire cannot be extinguished by the time your fire extinguisher runs out (roughly five (5) minutes) then you must notify emergency immediately. Working away from the involved area, personnel will be assigned to: • Check the driveways to see that they are clear for entry of fire fighting equipment • Wait at the front'entrance for the arrival of fire fighting equipment. Direct the firemen to the fire if necessary. Re-entry onto the property will not be permitted until it is declared safe to do so by management, or by the local fir law enforcement officials. Hazard Communication Name of Contact Person: Greg Gathers Title: President —CTC Disaster Response, Inc. Hazard Evaluation Chemical manufacturers and importers are required to review the available scientific evidence concerning the hazards of the chemicals they produce, and then report that information to employees who purchase their product. In most cases CTC will choose to rely on the evaluation performed by our suppliers. If for some reason we do not trust the evaluation of the manufacturer, we will arrange for additional testing. Page 72 of 87 We will consider the following chemicals used in our business to be hazardous: • Diesel Fuel • Gasoline Label &Other Forms of Warning We will make certain that containers are adequately labeled to identify the hazardous chemicals they contain and will show hazard warnings appropriate for your protection. The warnings will use a combination of words, pictures and symbols that will communicate the hazards of the chemical (s) in the container. The labels will be legible and prominently displayed. Our training program will include instruction on how to read and interpret label information. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: • We are permitted to post signs that convey the hazard information if there are a number of stationary containers in a given area, which have similar contents and hazards. • We are not required to label portable containers, as long as the transferred chemical is for immediate use by the employee who made the transfer. • We are not required to label pipes or piping systems. Employee Training It is the goal of CTC to provide hazard communication training during the first 30 days of employment and whenever a new chemical is introduced to a given work area. Training will be done in a meeting setting and will be conducted by the Program Coordinator or another who has been properly trained. The training program will consist o£ • How the hazard communication program is implemented, how to read and interpret information on labels and MSDS, and how employees can obtain and use the available hazard information. • The hazards of chemicals to which employees are exposed in the work area. • Measures employees can take to protect themselves from the hazards. • Specific procedures put into effect by the company to provide protection, such as personal protective equipment, mechanical guards, or protective processes. • Methods that you can use, such as visual appearance or smell, to detect presence of hazardous chemicals to which you or your co-workers may be exposed. • Name and/or job title of who you can go to if you have questions. Quality &Warranty of Work CTC will provide service that meets and exceeds standards of excellence. The work done on all of our projects is guaranteed to be done in a timely, professional manner with expertise in all aspects of arboriculture.
