PlJIIOSE This document constitutes a Request for Proposal (RFP) from experienced finns to dear and remove and lawfully dispose of disaster-generated debris (other than hazardous materiaJs and household putrescible garbage) from public property and public rights-of-way in the City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, immediately after a natural or man-made disaster. The objective of the RFP and subsequent contracting adivity is to secure the seM:es of an experienced Contractor who is capable of efOCiently dearing and removing very large volumes of dsaster-generated debris from a large area in a timely and cost-effective manner and lawfully cisposilg of at collected debris. The Contractor must be capable of assembling, directing and managing a workforce that can complete the debris management operations in a maximum of 30 days. The contract will be tor a term of three (3) years with two (2) options to renew this Agreement tor one (1) year each, with annual re~rtification of the Contractor's capabilities tor yeatS two (2) through five (5). While intended to cover debris management needs in any major disaster scenario, the primary focus is on the threat of hurricane or tomado damage to the City. The planning standards used for this project are based on the anticipated impacts of a Category 4 Hurricane. 5.2. BACKGROUND 5. 2.1. Introduction The City of Sunny Isles Beach staff has developed a Debris Management Plan that describes the general needs and approaches for clearing, removing and disposing of large volumes of debris after a major disaster. It provides general infonnation on debris classifications, IodiI hauling and disposal capabilities and capacities. The plan provides general guidance tor the Contractor and is available upon request. The City of Sunny Isles Beach's disaster recovery planning includes considerations tor dearing, removing and disposing of the voi.mes and types ci debris expected to be generated by a major disaster sud1 as a hurOCane (X tomado. The planning approach is formulated in part on the concept of strategic pre-positioning of plans and resources necessary for timely, coordinated response and recovery operations, includng dearing and removal of debris from public J>rq)erty and pubic rigrts-of-way throtqlout the City using Contractor work torces. The City envisions the need for a single major Contractor to carry out the Debris Clearing and Removal work throughout the City. The Contractor must have the capacity to manage a major workforce with m~ Subcontractors and to cover the expenses associated with a major recovery operation prior to initial City payment and between subsequent payments, as well as the capcr::ity to provide the necessary bonds and insurance. The Contractor must also have an established management team, an established network of resources to provide the necessary equipment and personnel. comprehensive debris dearing, removal and volume reductioo operations plans, and demonstrable experience in major disaster recovery projects. The contract to be awarded will be a pre-positioned contract that wi. be activated only in the face of an actual cJsaster (X emergency. As such, no ~ wiI occrue to the Contractor unless and until the contract is activated either in anticipation of a natural or man-made disaster or immediately after such disaster. Potential Contractors are solely responsible for their own costs ot developing the proposals associated with this RFP. In addition, a Contractor who receives a pre-positioned contract for the work will be required to participate in certain City-directed disaster recovery training and/or exercises, one (1) to two (2) days each year, at no cost to the City. The pre-positioned contract will be tor term of three (3) years with two (2) one (1) year .to TT .to rUl\/nj'NT " A " SIB ......... options to renew this Agreement for a total of five (5) years. This wiH minimize the planning costs associated with the program as well as maximize the Contractor's potential for recovery of those costs. 5.2.2. Planning Standard for Debris The City has selected a Category 4 Hurricane that impacts the entire city. The worst case debris volume anticipated from such a hurricane is approximately 40,000 cubic yards of mixed debris. This estimated debris volume is a planning figure and it is not a fixed quantity for the purpose of contractual obligations. The actual vWne of debris may be greater than or less than 40,000 Cl.bic yards. For the purpose of this RFP and solely for the purpose of standardizing the contents of aR submittals, the contractor shalf use a planning figure of 40,000 cubic yards of debris as the initial volume estimate for post-disaster debris removal and disposal operations. Contractor submittals must also address, though in less detan, how the Contractor would address larger and smaller volumes of debris. The City's goal is to complete the debris removal and disposaJ process in less than 30 days. This assumes that the entire area of the City will be accessible within that period. 5.2.3. Debris Management Strategy The City wiH employ a Contractor to clear, remove and dspose of disaster-generated debris. The City will execute one (and reserves the riglt to execute more than one) debris clearing and removal contract 00 a pre-positionecJ basis for the purpose of having a Contractor immedately available and committed to assisting the City in the aftermath of a major disaster. It is anticipated that the Contractor wiU use both local and non-locaJ Subcontractors. Notwithstanding, the Contractor wiH be expected to use fully qualified and properly equipped local firms to the maximLm extent pradX;abIe. When a major disaster occurs or is imminent, the City will contact the firm(s) holding Debris Clearing and Removal Contract(s) to advise them of the City's intent to activate the contract(s). Debris removal will generally be limited to debris in, upon, or brO\,Jght to public streets and roads, public rightS-Of-way, municipal properties and facilities, and other public sites. The Contractor(s) wiH also be responsible for the lawful disposal of aU debris co8ected from city property and public rights-of-way. The Contra:tor(s) wiI send a management team to the City's EOC, Jocated at 10070 Coins Avenue, Sunny Isles Beach, Telephone: 304-974{)6(6, within 48 hours prior of prqected hurrane landfall based on the r~ of a Naice to Proceed and Task Order, to begin planning tor the ~ and mOOiizing the persomeI and equpnent as necessary to perfoon the work. There are no Temporary Debris Storage and Reduction (TDSR) sites within the City limits. This wm necessitate the removal of all debris to the North Dade County Landfill located at 21500 tm 47 Avenue. In the event of a delay in this disposal facility opening after the subsidence of the disaster or if inordinately high delays in tumaround time occur at the designated disposal facility, the Contractor shal notify the City Debris Manager immediately and the City will provide an alternate disposal of roSR location within a 20 mile radius.

John Szerlag, City Manager Hans Ottinot, City Attorney Jane A. Hines, CMC, City Clerk MEMORANDUM The Honorable Mayor and City Commission A. John Szerlag, City Manager Jorge Vera, Assistant City Manager Rick Conner, Director of Public Works September 18, 2008 Agreement with AshBritt, Inc. for Emergency Debris Disposal RECOMMENDA TION It is recommended that the City Commission approve the Agreement with AshBritt, Inc. for emergency debris disposal. BACKGROUND The City of Sunny Isles Beach recently entered into a contract with Solid Resources, a consulting engineering firm, to guide us through the three-step process of ensuring we will be properly reimbursed by FEMA in case of a natural disaster. The first step was to develop an emergency debris removal plan (which they have done), the second, to write an Request for Proposals (RFP) to allow us to select a contractor to remove the debris (which they have done), and the third, to take responsibility in the event of a disaster and manage the paperwork and fieldwork to make the City whole again. We will not need to spend any money at this point, the contractor will only be paid for work done in an actual emergency event, and then the City will be reimbursed by FEMA. The City issued and advertised RFP No. 08-07-01, for Emergency Debris Collection and Removal Operations, for which eight (8) responses were received. Staff determined that the response from Ashbritt, Inc., met the requirements and needs of the City, and Solid Resources, Inc., has recommended the award. To be completed by Department Head To be completed by City Clerk's Office Funding available: Approval: Agenda Item No.: \0 G( Finance Department City Manager 9-(~- O'>? Commission Meeting Date: Cover Memo Ashbritt and Interlocal Agmt rc Debris REASONS This will ensure that the City is prepared ahead of time, instead of trying to react after the fact, to restore the City to safe and clear conditions in case of a natural disaster. It will also assist the City in the tremendous amount of time and paperwork that is needed to get the reimbursement from FEMA. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION We did a preliminary plan of which this is part. We will not have to acquire any easements. The total cost of the work cannot be estimated at this time. There will be costs, and funds are available in the 25% emergency set aside in the fund balance.
