Letter of Introduction
City of Sunny Isles Beach
18070 Collins Avenue
Sunny Isles Beach, Florida 33160
Dear Mobile County Officials:
Crowder Disaster Recovery is pleased to offer Mobile County our proposal for debris management and
removal services. The enclosed documentation will show that Crowder has the experience, equipment,
industry knowledge, and financial resources that are necessary to provide the level of service and
professionalism that Mobile County deserves after a disaster.
Eleven years ago, the principals of Jimmie Crowder Excavating and Land Clearing, Inc. partnered with Gulf
Equipment Corporation and established Crowder-Gulf to utilize over 50 years of disaster debris experience.
As half partner in the Crowder-Gulf joint venture, they provided disaster debris services to state and local
governments throughout the country. We recently withdrew from the joint venture. Crowder Disaster
Recovery provides full disaster related services to all levels of government, from pre-event planning to
project close out.
We have corporate offices located in Thomasville, Georgia, Tallahassee, Florida, and Carrabelle, Florida. Our
personnel have planned and managed successful disaster debris and reduction operations throughout the
country. Crowder has a reputation of managing projects in a safe, orderly, and timely manner. Our personnel
are well diverse in all aspects of this industry and look forward to providing you the level of service that we
have to many municipalities in the past.
If selected, Crowder would be completely devoted to the needs of Mobile County. Please review our list of
company owned trucks, grinders, and other equipment that will be needed should Mobile County experience
a disaster. We will work closely with County Officials during the initial planning phase, quickly mobilize when
needed, and be a constant presence throughout any debris management project we may have to undertake.
The professionalism and level of service that Crowder commits to provide to you will allow your employees to
dedicate more of their time to normal daily responsibilities - and as an added bonus, we're already here!
Jimmie Crowder Excavating and Land Clearing, Inc. thanks you for the opportunity to present our proposal for
debris management. Below is the contact information for the people who are able to contract for our
company. Please feel free to contact them if you need any additional information.

Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes. you arl
considered a U.S. person if you are:
. An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien,
. A partnership, corporation, company, or association created 01
organized in the United States or under the laws of the United
States,
. An estate (other than a foreign estate), or
. A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section
301.7701-7).
Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a
trade or business in the United States are generally required to
pay a withholding tax on any foreign partners' share of income
from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9
has not been received, a partnership is required to presume that
a partner is a foreign person, and pay the withholding tax.
Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a
partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States.
provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S.
status and avoid withholding on your share of partnership
income.
The person who gives Form W-9 to the partnership for
purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding
on its allocable share of net income from the partnership
conducting a trade or business in the United States is in the
following cases:
. The U.S. owner of a disregarded entity and not the entity,

DISASTER RECOVERY
SECTION 2:
RESPONSE PROCEDURES
37 I P age
c
Pre-Planning & Communication
Pre-Planning
Once under contract, Crowder Disaster Recovery will immediately begin working with CITY OF SUNNY
ISLES BEACH to create a unique action plan. Tailored to the particular region, geography, and special needs
of CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH, this plan will serve as a launching pad for more specialized post-disaster
operational plans.
Initially Crowder will meet with our client to establish base level services, most of which should be required
after any magnitude natural or man made disaster. Crowder will then work with CITY OF SUNNY ISLES
BEACH to preliminarily identify routes and entrances to be cleared first in case of emergency push.
Crowder will also work with CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH, to develop a series of scenarios and responses
based on possible disaster events. Potential TDSR sites will be identified. At this time, preliminary studies
of those sites and plans will be made. Crowder will begin securing agreements with local and nearby
subcontractors to ensure quick response after a natural disaster. These agreements will be reviewed yearly
and adjusted as needed. Crowder will hold yearly training and review sessions to evaluate all preliminary
plans. At this time, any changes to debris collection zone maps, primary road clearance routes, and/or
probable TDSRS sites will be discussed and noted. If necessary, Crowder will hire a FEMA consultant to
come in at these yearly meetings to discuss any changes in FEMA guidelines and best practices.
o
Communication Program
Once in CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH, Crowder Disaster Recovery will conduct an initial meeting with the
Debris Manager and/or the officials of CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH to determine work areas, hours of
work, TDSRS sites, and any special projects or provisions CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH might have. At
the initial meeting, a Crowder Disaster representative will be appointed to be the main contact with CITY OF
SUNNY ISLES BEACH. At this time, updated information will be given to CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH,
(including subcontractor listings, personnel listings with local contact information, etc).
After that initial meeting, the Division Director, Project Manager, or other assigned Crowder representative
will meet with the Debris Manager and/or CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH daily to ensure that the
requirements and needs of our client are being met. Crowder will also provide continuing documentation of
work being done to CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH.
Responsibilities of CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH both before and during a debris management project
include:
o
. Effective communication of client expectations and opinions regarding performance and methods.
. Approval of methods of operation, preliminary operational plans, potential sites for mSRS, etc.
. Aid in obtaining permits whenever necessary.
. Coordinate efforts of other governmental and/or contracted entities not under the employment of Crowder
during the debris management project.
. Monitor the terms of the contract.
Community Relations
38 I P age
o
Whenever responding to a disaster event, Crowder makes its relationship and communication with its client a
priority. Without effective communication and an excellent working relationship, the progress and
effectiveness of debris management projects suffer. Under contract, Crowder Disaster Recovery will adhere to
CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH'S regulations regarding community notification of our efforts in the area. By
advertising in the Sunday editions of two local papers and on two local major radio stations, Crowder will
inform local residents of the schedule for removal, what is eligible for pick-up, and how to place the debris on
the right of way. These announcements will be run for a minimum of four times a day, three days per week.
These announcements will be updated weekly and will be approved by CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH
prior to use.
Initial Response and Mobilization Plan
Once under contract, Crowder Disaster Recovery guarantees to move quickly and efficiently to respond to
CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH. After receiving a Notice to Proceed, Crowder Disaster Recovery will be in
CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH and ready to work within 24 hours. Because Crowder owns the equipment
necessary to complete the project, no wait period for obtaining rentals will be required after receiving the
Notice to Proceed. Once in CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH, the first pass of debris collection will be
completed within 30 days. The third pass of debris collection should be complete within 120 days.
o
If the impact of a natural disaster event is forecasted and imminent, Crowder will be available for pre-
mobilization and will work with our client to secure and finalize plans before impact. If requested, Crowder
will send a representative of the company to our clients Emergency Operations Center. That representative
will be available the instant a Notice to Proceed is issued and will begin coordinating without delay.

Note: This table is an estimate only. The mobilization process for each stonn differs, depending not only on
strength of the stonn but also on size, speed, and breadth of damage.
o The procedure for mobilization and initial response is as follows:
1) Forewarning
39 I P age
"
When the possibility of an event is discovered, Crowder will enter standby status. All company
employees will be involved in actively evaluating the situation and will become available for further
action as needed.
. Before a forecasted event, Crowder representatives will monitor conditions and open lines of
communication between our company and CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH.
. At this time, preliminary plans and procedures will be reviewed and amended as needed.
2) Threat
Once the possibility of an event becomes more certain, Crowder will ready itself for immediate action.
. If requested, a representative will be sent to our client's EOC. This representative will make him or
her available for technical assistance, to receive the Notice to Proceed, and any other action required
by our client.
. Crowder will begin staging equipment, supplies, and manpower.
. All documentation required by CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH (current subcontractor listing, etc)
will be prepared.
3) Notification & Mobilization
When our client issues a Notice to Proceed, Crowder will begin an immediate mobilization of the
company.
o
. At this point, our client will define needed services (Emergency Push, etc) and priority areas for initial
debris removal.
. Crowder will dispatch its equipment and personnel. Please see mobilization schedule for an example
timeline.
. Management personnel will arrive in CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH and begin coordinating our
project with the client.
. Activation of all subcontractors and suppliers.
. Opening of TDSRS sites if needed or required, to include the construction of inspection towers, access
points, installation of fences, etc.
A. Staging Areas
During the preplanning stage, Crowder will work with CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH to
designate potential staging zones to ensure a quick mobilization after a forecasted natural disaster.
These staging zones will be used to gather trucks, materials, and equipment for use during
Emergency Push operations and subsequent stages of the debris removal process.
B. Operational Field Office
During a debris removal project Crowder will establish an on-site field office for those personnel
actively managing the effort. Ordinarily, Crowder uses a mobile field office, complete with
computers and satellite phones in case of cell phone outage. If the project is large enough or is
particularly lengthy, Crowder will obtain a temporary office location staffed with a full-time
administrative team.
o
C. Employee Housing
Because the resources of CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH may be reduced or already committed
immediately after a disaster, Crowder understands the importance of providing for its own
employees. In the case that no other options are available, Crowder has arranged with the firm of
40lPage
o
o
c
Deployed Resources to set up a base camp for its workers. This camp will provide toilets,
showers, bunkrooms, and kitchen areas so that all mobilized employees will be self-sufficient and
able to complete quality work for our client. Once under contract, potential sites for the camp will
be identified and a preliminary operational plan developed.
D. Other Available Services:
During the crisis following storms, sometimes things get a little hectic and the need arises for
equipment or goods that were not anticipated in the contract. Crowder has tried to cover these
needs by negotiating agreements with multiple suppliers, some of which are identified in other
sections of this proposal. Food supplies, ice, water, restrooms, kitchens, showers, sleeping
quarters, toxic clean-up and many other services can be arranged at very competitive prices.
4) Local Subcontractor Participation
At Crowder, we understand the importance of local subcontractor participation to our clients. By employing
local subcontractors, we enable the local economy to receive some benefit from a debris removal project and
allow smaller companies to gain experience and training in debris management techniques. Because of this,
we actively seek out local subcontractors, especially those that are classified as Minority or Small Business
enterprises.
Once under contract, Crowder will actively contact local subcontractors, establish relationships and enter into
preliminary agreements with those companies before an event happens. Crowder will utilize our client's
listings of local contractors, businesses, and suppliers to ensure proper utilization of our client's local
resources.
Debris Clean-up & Transportation Plan
When our client is confronted by a forecasted natural disaster, Crowder Disaster Recovery will immediately
start working. At least 48 hours before a forecasted event, the company will provide a preliminary schedule
for work (including subcontractors, number and type of equipment mobilizing, personnel, and safety plan).
Upon receiving notice to proceed from CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH, Crowder will mobilize and begin
collecting the disaster debris in an efficient and safe manner.
Before embarking on any debris removal project, Crowder will first evaluate the goals and particular
characteristics of that endeavor. Using preliminary plans created during the Initial Planning phase, Crowder
will evaluate the severity and breadth of debris scattered in collection areas. Based on these evaluations,
Crowder will then dispatch the appropriate number of crews to complete the project.
1) Debris Removal Crews
The composition and size of debris removal crews can vary, depending on the needs and severity of a project.
The size of a crew can range from three persons up to thirty if necessary. Please see the following tables for
possible debris removal crew composition based on the severity of debris. The composition of actual crews
may vary from this based on the requirements of our client, the availability of resources, and the particular
variables of the locale.

B. On the first pass, Crowder will begin by using crews comprised of a self-loading truck, a flagger to
maintain the flow of traffic, and a laborer to follow and monitor operations. If necessary, additional
equipment will be utilized to efficiently clear and haul away the bulk of debris on the first pass.
Trailers (with a combined capacity of 100-120 CY), rubber-tired loader, or other support equipment
could be used to aid the base crew depending on the severity of the debris.
c
C. During the first pass, Crowder will monitor the progress and capacity of the crews to determine if
additional crews are needed and what support equipment will be necessary to complete the project
within deadline.
D. Throughout the debris removal process, crews will separate debris as they go in order to reduce the
amount of non-reducible matter taken to the TDSRS. Non-vegetative or reducible C&D materials will
be sorted and disposed properly from the beginning. Roadside sorting also minimizes the risk of
hazardous waste material reaching the TDSRS in great quantities.
E. Our crews will work street-by-street, clearing debris and hauling the material to the TDSRS. Crowder
Disaster Recovery maintains a "clean as you go" policy, leaving each street it completes clean of debris
and certified as such by the company and/or CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH' representatives.
3) Debris Removal from Private Property
If instructed by CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH to conduct debris removal from private property,
Crowder will implement a Right-of-Entry Program. In order to collect debris on private property,
Crowder will require the owner to sign a duplication of insurance form, a Hold Harmless form, and a
Right-of-Entry form allowing the company to have access to their property. Once allowed onto the
property, Crowder will take all precautions to minimize any accidental damage that may occur.
c
Temporary Debris Staging &
Reduction Site Plan
1) Construction and Initial Set-up
Construction of the TDSR site will begin as soon as CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH approves a site. Prior to
utilization, Crowder Disaster Recovery will
videotape and/or photograph the site.
Crowder will also collect environmental
samples from each site before use.
Within 48 hours of Notice to Proceed,
Crowder will have developed a specific site
plan for the TDSRS, including any road
construction needed, procedures for erosion
control, and places for portable toilets and
offices.
C Crowder will construct an observation
platform also within 48 hours according to
preliminary drawings. This tower will serve
as the primary inspection site for the TDSRS
...
and as a quality-control mechanism for the company. It will be built according to FEMA regulations, and to
accommodate at least three persons.
c
In order to contain any hazardous waste that may make its way to the TDSRS, Crowder will obtain a lined
roll-off dumpster to store such waste. The dumpster will be covered with a tarp to protect it from the
elements.
The TDSRS will have one entrance and one exit in order to control traffic through the site. The inspection
tower will be situated in between the entrance and exit. If necessary and mandated by CITY OF SUNNY
ISLES BEACH, a separate citizens' entrance for drop-off will be constructed. We recommend, however, that
for the sake of the citizens' safety, a separate site should be established.
2) Safety and Security at the TDSRS
Only authorized personnel will be permitted inside the TDSRS. All visitors to the site must obey the proper
precautions and regulations as well as sign in and out. Safety inspections will be conducted regularly to
ensure that the proper procedures and policies are followed. The foreman of the TDSRS will monitor the
practice of the workers at the TDSRS as well as the inspectors, managers, and truckers to ensure the safety of
everyone involved. In addition to this, the Safety/Quality Control Manager will conduct weekly "surprise"
inspections.
If needed, traffic maintenance crews will be stationed on the roads outside of the TDSRS to maintain the flow
of traffic in an orderly and safe manner. Also, a security staff could be hired to patrol the TDSRS at night if
needed or required.

A. Incineration
~ Burning pits will be constructed at the TDSRS for large-scale incineration, as directed by CITY OF
SUNNY ISLES BEACH. Burning will take place during daylight hours, at least 1,200 feet away from
any structure (excluding the TDSRS tower). This type of reduction will be used only on clean,
vegetative debris unless CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH wishes to reduce wood and C&D debris in
this manner. Any debris thought to contain or consist of hazardous material will not be burned and
will instead be placed within the
hazardous material container.
~ Only qualified and experienced employees
will be allowed to operate air-curtain
incinerators, and only after being briefed
in safety, fire suppression, and shutdown
procedures by the Safety/Quality Control
Manager and/or TDSRS foreman. Water
trucks will be on hand to suppress any fire
threat and to periodically extinguish the
pits for maintenance.
o
~ Every 24 hours, the burning pit will be
extinguished for ash removal. Any ash
produced during these efforts will be
considered hazardous material and will be

placed in a separate location to await transportation to an accepting landfill.
Open Burning
If the TDSRS site is located in a remote area, open burning may be an option for reduction. By far the
most efficient way to reduce vegetative debris, open burning is conducted by piling material and
burning it. This method is used only with prior approval by our client since this activity does create a
lot of smoke that could impact our client's citizens.
Grinding / Chipping
Another method for reducing eligible debris is by grinding or chipping. Grinding and open burning
are the fastest ways to reduce debris. Primarily using tub grinders, eligible debris would be reduced
and sorted into piles. All operators of the grinders would receive proper safety and operational
instructions. Piles of mulch or wood chippings would be
closely monitored to reduce the threat of combustion. Also
because of this threat, such piles will be eliminated as
quickly as possible, either through redistribution to
landfills that could use the material, hauling to power plants
to be used as boiler fuel, or as soil amendment for aggregate
material.

4) Handling and Disposal of Special Debris
Once reaching the TDSRS, all debris will be sorted so that special debris may be at once identified and
contained. Crowder Disaster Recovery will follow all regulations outlined by CITY OF SUNNY ISLES
BEACH, as well as Federal, State, and local laws and regulations as to the storage and disposal of special
debris.
Hazardous waste will be placed into a lined roll-off container, thus eliminating the possibility of leakage and
groundwater contamination. All hazardous waste collected during the debris removal and reduction project
will be disposed of properly through a Hazardous Materials Removal and Disposal Contractor. For all
Crowder projects, the company has retained the services of Gamer Environmental Services, Inc. to assist with
proper containment and disposal methods for hazardous waste. All documentation or receipts for disposal
will be kept as proof of proper disposal.
All construction and demolition (C&D) debris will be hauled direct to a C&D landfill, as directed by CITY OF
SUNNY ISLES BEACH. White goods will be picked up separately and hauled to a white goods storage site or
directly to steel recyclers. All landfill costs will be paid for by Crowder Disaster Recovery, but will be billed
to CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH at cost, unless other arrangements are made.
5) Maintenance of TDSRS
Throughout this period, Crowder will take care to maintain the TDSRS in such a way as to ensure its effective
functioning and the safety of operations being conducted within. During the debris reduction process,
videotape and photographs will be taken to document the TDSRS. Tl\e incinerator's bum pits will have
periodic cool-down and shutdown periods for ash control and charcoal removal. Inspections will be
conducted daily by the Debris Reduction Manager and weekly by the Safety/Quality Control Manager, during
which time the use of the TDSR site can be evaluated.
6) Final Disposal of Reduced Debris
Throughout the process and especially before closing a site, Crowder will haul reduced debris to its final
disposal site. Crowder possesses eight chip trailers with over 100 cubic yard capacities. These would be
employed to load reduced debris and transport it to a final disposal site.
7) TDSRS Remediation
Once the debris reduction is completed and the TDSRS is no longer needed, efforts will start to remediate the
site. The end condition of the site will be documented by video and/or photography. All reduction efforts
(either grinding or burning) will be shut down, and all equipment and temporary structures will be removed
from the site. Any bum pits will be filled in and returned to their original grading. Any unreduced debris
will be taken to an appropriate disposal site. Any specialized debris will be disposed of in a manner
appropriate to its nature.

Once all debris is cleared from the site, Crowder Disaster Recovery will test the soil and/or ground water for
contaminates if required by CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH. Crowder will then conduct a remediation or
complete replacement of the soil if necessary. Crowder will return all roads, storage areas, and places where
temporary structures stood to their pre-existing grade. Crowder will then remove security fences, gates,
entrance roads, and culverts. Before leaving the site, Crowder will host an inspection by the property's owner
to ensure that the site is returned to an agreeable condition. Any issues will be rectified, and Crowder will
obtain a site release for the TDSRS.

Crowder realizes the importance of getting a Job started quickly and efficiently. To
help accomplish this, we had several towers custom built to FEMA specifications.
They are firmly bolted together for the purpose of sturdiness, as well as the ease of
tearing them down and then transporting them in Crowder's self loading trucks. This
allows Crowder to mobilize our debris towers at the same time that we mobilize our
equipment. This is just one more step that Crowder has taken to ensure that we are
prepared to assist our clients.

In addition to certifying the capacity of each truck, Crowder also
ensures proper documentation of its debris removal activities by
requiring a load ticket to be filled out each time a Crowder or
subcontractor truck hauls a load. This ticket describes each load
that is hauled by Crowder, requiring such information as the type
of load, where hauled from, where taken, truck number, etc. The
load tickets are completed in duplicate, with CITY OF SUNNY
ISLES BEACH and Crowder receiving copies. A daily log given to
both CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH and Crowder will certify
work done by crews or by equipment.
Each day, load tickets will be entered into a database by Crowder's
diligent and detail oriented office staff. Once computed, the data
will be transformed into reports. Crowder will provide daily
reports to CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH as required. Crowder
is committed to working with CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH
and adhering to its documentation requirements.
Using these two sources of information, Crowder ensures transparency in documentation and provides
reconciliation between CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH and itself. By distributing information between our
clients and ourselves, Crowder aims to conduct a thorough and accurate accounting program. Crowder offers
the services of its full-time accounting staff in order to achieve this goal.

problems can be promptly corrected.
Because of Crowder's emphasis on a quality work performance, violations of company standards, policies,
plans, or directions are simply not tolerated. Any employee or subcontractor that performs below company set
standards will not continue doing business with our company. Because Crowder adheres to a high standard
of quality assurance, it expects all persons associated with their efforts to do the same.

One prime concern for Crowder is the quality of work performed under its name. Because the company has a
long-standing reputation of excellent work, quality control is an integral part of any project Crowder
undertakes.
The quality of our preliminary plans will be reassessed yearly. At this time, any potential issues will be
addressed and any corrections or updates (in order to conform to changing FEMA, state, and local regulations).
At yearly pre-planning meetings with CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH, any questions or concerns about the
quality of Crowder's performance can be addressed. Crowder will make its personnel available to our client
to answer any questions that may arise year round.

Subcontractors
In an effort to be prepared for any disaster recovery and debris management project that comes Crowder's
way, the company has an extensive database of subcontractors that can help augment our available services,
supplies, and equipment in the event of an occurrence. Crowder maintains a database of over 200 quality
subcontractors that have either worked on a Crowder project before or are known to be of the highest caliber.
In past disasters, we have utilized subcontractors in order to quickly complete jobs on a large scale, sometimes
running as many as thousands of trucks simultaneously.
Distributed throughout the United States, our subcontractors have established relationships with our
company and are trusted suppliers and co-workers. Once under contract, Crowder will tailor our basic
subcontracting plan to meet the needs of our client. This includes satisfying required Minority, Small, and
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise requirements, selecting subcontractors local and convenient to our client's
location, and seeking and establishing relationships with new subcontractors if needed.
1) Selecting Qualified Subcontractors
In past debris removal and disposal projects, Crowder Disaster Recovery has employed a variety of
subcontractors. Crowder has encountered subcontractors both bad and good, and through this experience has
created a series of criteria used in selecting quality subcontractors and compiling a pool of trusted companies
for use during projects.
To be selected as a subcontractor and to receive work on any Crowder project, a company must meet the
following requirements:
. Have the means necessary to provide quality equipment that is properly registered and maintained
. Possess the insurance requirements necessary for the project
. Communicate well with our company and the Project Manager
. Be willing to follow any task orders we require
. Abide by the stipulations of the contract between Crowder and our client, obeying any and all
regulations set forth in that document
. Experience in debris management or disaster recovery
The criteria we use to select subcontractors are based on the ability to complete the job ordered by our client.
To this end, we only select companies with the necessary resources to efficiently and safely complete the task.
2) Local Subcontractor Participation
At Crowder, we understand the importance of local subcontractor participation to our clients. By employing
local subcontractors, we enable the local economy to receive some benefit from a debris removal project and
allow smaller companies to gain experience and training in debris management techniques. Because of this,
we actively seek out local subcontractors, especially those that are classified as Minority or Small Business
enterprises.
Once under contract, Crowder will actively contact local subcontractors and establish relationships with those
companies before an event happens. Crowder will utilize our client's listings of local contractors, businesses,
and suppliers to ensure proper utilization of our client's local resources.
Crowder maintains an Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action plan, both for employee hires
and subcontractor relationships. Crowder maintains a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Liaison Officer to
54 I P age
o
o
o
..
monitor our efforts in coordinating and securing Minority Business Enterprises for projects and for overseeing
the implementation of our policies and procedures. For this project, Kerry Bateman will oversee the utilization
of qualified Minority and Small Business subcontractors.
Before utilizing the subcontractor database, Crowder Disaster Recovery is willing to use as many local
subcontractors as are necessary, available, and able to meet our selection criteria. Once under contract,
Crowder Disaster Recovery will advertise in local papers for subcontractors who would like to complete work
on the project. Crowder will also utilize our client's listing of Minority and Small Business Enterprises for
contacting potential subcontractors.
3) Utilizing Local Subcontractors
Once Crowder receives replies from its solicitations, the interested subcontractors will be evaluated by the
aforementioned criteria and, if they are judged to have met them, will be considered for a Crowder project.
Once under contract and before any debris management project begins, Crowder will enter into preliminary
agreements with local subcontractors. Crowder will create a subcontractor plan, identifying the needs of our
client and how our subcontractors can help us meet them.
Before a forecasted natural disaster, Crowder will enter into subcontract agreements with our selected
subcontractors for that project. Subcontractors will be required to sign a Debris Removal Subcontract. This
contract will bind them to work under the regulations set forth in the contract between Crowder and our
client. Crowder will furnish our client with a listing of all subcontractors to be used on a particular project,
with copies of the subcontracting agreement available upon request.
Once under contract and once proper insurance has been exhibited, subcontractors will immediately begin
work in areas outlined by CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH. Subcontractors will be responsible to Crowder,
and all directions and task orders from our client will go through Crowder before being disseminated to our
subcontractors.
Crowder will also be responsible for payment of all subcontractors used in the debris removal and reduction
project. Payment will be made to subcontractors weekly, with a ten-percent retainage held as insurance
against damage or any other potential claim.
Crowder Disaster Recovery enjoys working with the highest quality subcontractors, many of whom are
dedicated to working for only our company. By choosing quality subcontractors, we ensure that Crowder's
debris removal and reduction efforts progress safely, efficiently, and successfully.

O'crowder Disaster Recovery specializes in disaster recovery and debris management services. Crowder uses our
disaster expertise, combined with experience gained working as a local general contractor in Tallahassee, Florida, to
aid our clients in any disaster recovery and debris management services they may require.
Jimmie Crowder Excavating and Land Clearing, Inc. was founded in 1973 with one employee, one dump truck, and
one front end loader. The focus of the fledgling company was primarily lot clearing and tree removal. Since then the
company has diversified and grown dramatically. A fact contrasting with Crowder's humble beginnings, the
company now specializes in all phases Disaster Recovery as well as excavation, site work, and underground utility
work. It was because of this capability to expand, combined with ample resources and financial stability, that the
principal's interest in disaster recovery and debris management found its outlet as half partner with Gulf Equipment
Corporation in the Crowder-Gulf joint venture.
Our experience created a team of extraordinarily qualified supervisors
and project managers, ready to perform any services required of a debris
contract. Crowder has successfully completed numerous jobs and
experienced a variety of events with differing circumstances and
magnitudes. In many instances we have managed concurrent disaster
recovery projects, at times running over a dozen jobs simultaneously.
We provided disaster recovery services in Hurricanes Andrew, Charley,
Dennis, Floyd, Fran, Hugo, Isabel, Ivan, Jeanne, Katrina, Opal, and Rita,
just to name a few.
OIn addition to the company's disaster recovery and debris management
efforts, Jimmie Crowder Excavating and Land Clearing, Inc. maintains
an extremely diverse operation (for copies of our various licenses,
please see Business Licenses Section). We operate three offices: one in
Thomasville, Georgia, one in Carrabelle, Florida, and one in
Tallahassee, Florida. A large part of the company is involved in
excavating and clearing for commercial properties in both North Florida
and South Georgia. Crowder regularly contracts for large commercial
jobs, and fulfills its obligations competently and proficiently.
Crowder has completed over two hundred contractual jobs in the
Tallahassee region, working primarily in excavation and site-
development. Forming relationships with both commercial
construction companies and government entities, Crowder has proven
our ability to fulfill and satisfy its contractual obligations to the fullest
extent of our clients' expectations.

Crowder Disaster Recovery
Attention: Joe Houle
Re: Removable of Debris
Crowder (you and your crew) did a great job and proved that no " ob is too
small and all customers are important. Although our village is small,
especially relative to Joplin, nevertheless you were very responsive from the
beginning from our dive through Leawood to completing the pick-up of the
debris from our December ice stonn.
I was particularly impressed with:
1. The trimming of the "hangers".
2. How great the areas looked after the debris was picked-up as there
was little evidence that debris was even there.
3. Meeting the time schedule that was established.
4. Quick reaction to a few areas, where debris wasn't picked up. This
was mainly due to the fragmented layout of our village.
S. Your telephone calls to update me on the projector to follow-up on my
questions.
Thanks again for a job well-done.
Best regards,
~D~~
Denny Desmond.

RE: Notice of Completion of Debris Contract

Dear Mr. Mayo;
Please accept this letter as notice of completion in debris removal for the City of Miami, OK.
Crowder Excavating finished the remaining work on Saturday. February 16,2008.
Hiring Crowder Disaster Recovery (a.k.a. Jimmie Crowder Excavating) for our debris removal
proved to be a good choice. Your company provided excellent service to the Miami community;
the Crowder staff conducted themselves in a professional manner and communicated well with
City staff.
o
Crowder representatives said their goal was to satisfy the City and provide a service second to
none. You can rest assured that we are very pleased with Crowder's performance. During the
cleanup process the City received numerous compliments from our residents and no complaints.
In closing, please feel free to use the City of Miami as a reference on any future endeavors.
Sincerely,

Dear Sirs,
I would like to express my appreciation in regard to your operations in our
community. December Oglh, 2007, our community suffered a severe ice storm that
resulted in over 160,000 cubic yards oftrce debris. This incident was beyond any seope
of which th~t our community of 19,000 citizens has ever faced before. We were also not
familiar with the rules and regulations that FEMA requires in order to be reimbursed.
We completed a competitive bid process and awarded the contract to Crowder
Disaster Recovery. Your company and the employees that you sent were very
professional and made this incident easier to deal with. I especially appreciate Jeff
Mitchell and Tara Painter. Their expertise in both FEMA guidelines as well as debris
removal has helped this community immensely.
In the future if our community is faced with a disaster, I anticipate using a debris
r~mo\'al firm bas~d on this experience. I would be pleased if Crowder Disaster Recovery
would win any future bids for work with our city as I enjoyed the professionalism and
reliability that we had during this experience.
Please feci free to use me as a reference for your future endeavors.

Re: Recommendation Letter
To whom it may concern:
In 2003, Hurricane Isabelle slanuned into our area causing significant damage. This
damage and safety to our citizens was obviously and immediate concern to SPSA.
Crowder-Gulf Joint Venture was contracted to expedite the removal-of-debris from the
right of way. Crowder responded very quickly and effectively to our needs with a great
deal of diligence and professionalism. The continued to participate in this project with the
same amoWlt of interest toward the end of the project by maintaining adequate volumes
of equipment and contractors even after the volumes significantly declined until the job
was complete.
Crowder-Gulf Joint Venture removed and processed over 2.25 million cubic yards for
SPSA in a safe, professional, and effective manner. They also treated our concerns as
well as the concerns of our citizens with great dignity and professionalism.
o
It is my pleasure to recommend Crowder-Gulf Joint V t."Ilture to you.
Sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern:
This letter comes as a reference for Crowder-Gulf Joint Venture for the very
professional and timely work they completed in the City of Pascagoula, Mississippi.
With approximately 95% of our community going under water, the city required
immediate attention following Hurricane Katrina.
On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina made lanMall on the Mississippi coast.
Crowder-Gulf responded quickly to aid the Pascagoula in its disaster recovery efforts.
Prior to this, Crowder-Gulf worked two other stonns, Dennis and Ivan and did an

In August, Hurricane Katrina made landfall on the Mississippi coast. Crowder-Gulf responded quickly to aid the city in
it's' disaster recovery efforts. The Company then completed a debris removal and reduction project for the City,
including the operation and management of a TDSRS site that reduced approximately 1 million cubic yards of debris in
a timely manner. Crowder-Gulf employed air curtain incinerators to reduce all the vegetative debris that came out of
the City of Biloxi.
During the same time period Crowder-Gulf was able to respond quickly and professional to our city's needs as well.

Current Contracts

In December of 2007, severe ice storms resulted in multiple counties in Missouri, Oklahoma, and
Kansas unfortunately requiring disaster assistance. Crowder Disaster Recovery deployed to the
region on New Year's Eve, ready to aid Joplin, Missouri with their vegetative debris removal and
reduction needs. Over the last six months, we have dedicated our crews to providing hazardous tree
trimming, debris hauling, and reduction services to twelve counties and municipalities in the area,
both small and large. In addition, Crowder Disaster Recovery provided a pro bono debris removal
contract to Noble, Oklahoma, a srnall rural town in the area that needed a little extra help.
Having just wrapped up our contracts in that region, we were recently awarded the Bibb County,
Georgia tree trimming, debris removal, and reduction contract, in the wake of the Mother's Day
tornadoes that struck the area. Estimated quantities of 200,000 cubic yards of vegetative debris need
to be hauled and reduced, as well as hundreds of hazardous trees that require trimming or removal.
