EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TAG Grinding Services, Inc., is a Georgia corporation authorized to transact business in
the states of Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky,
Virginia, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Texas. TAG Grinding Services, Inc. was founded in 1996 and
incorporated February 23, 1998 by Greg Rodgers, President and Vice President and Jerry W.
Brooks, Secretary and Treasurer. TAG Grinding Service, Inc.'s main line of business is debris
collection, removal, reduction, and disposal. We operate 7 grinders on a continuous basis and
process over 12,000 yards of debris per day year round in the Atlanta, Georgia area.
o
In addition to the continued management of debris facilities in Georgia, TAG Grinding
Services, Inc. responds to demolition and debris projects created from national disasters. We
have successfully completed hundreds of land clearing operations, landfill debris reduction,
storm debris removal, and reduction, plus storm recovery and restoration jobs since 1996.
While continuing reduction services in Atlanta, TAG Grinding Services, Inc. responded to the
Florida hurricanes of 2004 with five simultaneous disaster response operations. These
operations ranged from removing debris from 450 miles of canals in Cape Coral, Florida to
clearing 2,000 miles of roads throughout Florida, to removing debris at the curbside at storm
damaged locations.
All operations were personally started by Jerry W. Brooks and completed successfully.
Unlike some contractors, TAG has fully paid all sub-contractors and suppliers, even though we
are still owed money.
TAG Grinding Services, Inc. owns over 200 pieces of debris removal and disposal
equipment (see attached list) plus self-supportive campers and trailers to provide facilities,
accommodations, and meals, enabling their storm response crews to respond before the wind
and rain is over. In addition, TAG has a strong relationship with 20+ debris collection / removal
sub-contractors, as well as equipment rental companies. We call upon these subcontractors
and equipment companies whenever there is a need for additional assistance in responding to a
natural disaster. The majority of these sub-contractors can respond anywhere in the southeast
within 24 hours. They are trained and experienced in disaster response and are familiar with
living conditions, environmental concerns and safety requirements at disaster sites.
In addition to debris management and disposal services, TAG Grinding Services, Inc. is
associated with other companies that provide a full range of disaster recovery services.
Through these affiliations, we are able to offer services such as emergency generators, ice and
water, temporary dry-in services, emergency housing, and other services. Please contact us for
specific information on services you require.
o
Unlike many other disaster relief contractors, TAG Grinding Services, Inc. is a full-time
debris management contractor. We do not perform grading or general construction or just
broker disaster recovery work. Every day, TAG handles debris for the City of Atlanta, Georgia;
Cobb County, Georgia; Fulton County, Georgia; Carrollton, County Georgia; Monroe County,
Georgia; Covington, Georgia; Peachtree City, Georgia; Lagrange, Georgia; Gadsden, Alabama;
and Sylacauga, Alabama. TAG operates a 20+-acre debris management reduction site 24 hours
o
o
o
per day year round serving a combined population of over 5,000,000 and averaging over
12,000 yards of debris daily. In addition, all of the equipment we own is geared towards debris
management operations. We may not be the least expensive but you will find that we are your
best value in any debris collection, disposal, and management operation.

GRINDING SERVICES, INC.
EXPERIENCE IN DEBRIS MANAGEMENT
TAG Grinding Services, Inc. is a full-time Debris Management Specialist authorized to transact
business in the states of Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Kentucky, Virginia, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Texas. TAG Grinding Services, Inc. was
founded in 1996 and incorporated February 23, 1998 by Greg Rodgers, President/Vice President
and Jerry W. Brooks, SecretaryfTreasurer. TAG Grinding Service, Inc.'s main line of business is
debris collection, removal, reduction, and disposal. We manage the daily debris for over
5,000,000 people in the Atlanta, Georgia area alone - processing over 12,000 cubic yards of
debris every day for a total of 4,000,000 cubic yards per year. In addition, TAG performs all
services associated with Debris Management from land clearing and landfill management to
disaster response.
o
Jerry W. Brooks, CFO for TAG Grinding Services, Inc., has been involved in disaster response
since 1979, adding the grinding phase in 1996. In this time, Mr. Brooks, along with TAG, has
responded to over 100 disaster recovery operations. Since a key element in any successful
operation is getting started correctly, Mr. Brooks has personally started every recovery project
since our incorporation. From this experience, he has learned the difficulties related to disaster
recovery and how to operate in areas that have limited services, utilities, or means of
communication. He is often on site before any services or utilities are restored.
Unlike many other disaster recovery contractors, TAG Grinding Services, Inc. is a full-time
debris management contractor. We do not perform grading or general construction or just
broker disaster recovery work. Every day, TAG handles debris for the City of Atlanta, Georgia;
Cobb County, Georgia; Fulton County, Georgia; Carrollton County, Georgia; Monroe County,
Georgia; Covington, Georgia; Peachtree City, Georgia; Lagrange, Georgia; Gadsden, Alabama;
and Sylacauga, Alabama. We deal with debris on a daily basis year round. TAG operates a
20+-acre debris management reduction site 24 hours per day year round. In addition, all of the
equipment we own is geared towards debris management operations.
Our disaster debris experience consists of clearing roadways and canals, debris consolidation
management and reduction services, including grinding, management of landfill operations,
demolition and removal of damaged structures. Since it's beginning, TAG Grinding Services,
Inc. has done a variety of disaster recovery operations. These range from Clarke County,
Arkansas where TAG Grinding Services, Inc. cleared over 800 miles of road right-of-ways to the
removal of all trash and debris from 450 miles of canals for the City of Cape Coral, Florida. The
scope of work consisted of collecting, consolidating, reduction and disposal of all types of debris
while documenting all types and quantities of each type of debris. While continuing contracts
for debris collection, grinding, disposal and management with the City of Atlanta, Georgia;
Carroll County, Georgia; Cobb County, Georgia and others, TAG Grinding Services, Inc. has
been able to perform numerous disaster response contracts simultaneously.
o
Although it is not common for anyone Debris Management contract to exceed 750,000 cubic
yards, TAG has simultaneously managed multiple contracts that total over 750,000 cubic yards.
Listed below are a few of the disaster events with which TAG has been in charge of debris
management that exceeded 750,000 cubic yards.
o
When the Hurricane Charlie hit Florida in 2004, we had equipment and personnel available to
start work within 24 hours. Our first disaster response was in Cape Coral, Florida, with the next
being in Orlando, Florida. When Hurricane Francis struck Jupiter, Florida, TAG Grinding
Services, Inc. was requested to provide crews and management to assist them. At this time,
we were performing three contracts for disaster removal/reduction in Florida.
Hurricane Ivan then struck the panhandle of Florida and the pre-event contractor for Fort
Walton Beach, Florida was unable to respond in the timely manner required by the contract.
Mike Tatum with the City of Fort Walton Beach requested TAG Grinding Services, Inc. to begin
work within 24 hours. The conversation was held around noon and equipment and crews were
on site the following day starting work. In Ft. Walton, Florida, TAG removed over 200,000
cubic yards of debris on two passes, ground the debris, disposed of the ground debris,
reconditioned the reduction site, completing the entire job within 24 days. While at the same
time, TAG was maintaining three additional contracts in other Florida cities.
Next, the prime contractor in charge of storm debris for the Florida state roads requested
assistance from Tag Grinding Services, Inc. We were able to provide crews for this job while
still maintaining five (5) other disaster debris removal/reduction contracts ongoing in Florida
and still maintain our daily operations in the Atlanta area. The total debris managed under
these simultaneous contracts total 1,125,000 cubic yards.
When Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast area in 2005, TAG Grinding Services, Inc. responded
initially by managing and providing crews for the debris removal for Enterprise, Mississippi. We
completed this job within a one-week period after removing and disposing of a total of 20,000
cubic yards, and then began assisting Wayne County, Mississippi as a second tier contractor. In
addition, we were prime contractor for Quitman, Mississippi during this same period.
o While maintaining these two contracts, TAG Grinding Services, Inc. was approached by the
primary contractor for both Pike County and the City of Summit, Mississippi to begin assisting
them in debris removal. To this date, this contractor still owes TAG over $150,000 for this
work, which is not for the 10% retainage for this job. However, all of TAG's subcontractors and
suppliers have been paid as the work was completed.
Our next contract was as prime contractor for the debris removal for the Mississippi Department
of Transportation in both Newton and Lauderdale Counties, Mississippi. Although we were
second in the bidding process, TAG Grinding Services, Inc. was ultimately awarded the contract
due to the fact that the low bidder was unable to provide adequate equipment. In addition to
our contract with MDOT, TAG Grinding Services, Inc. began debris removal in Clarke County,
Mississippi as a second tier contractor. The debris managed under these contracts totaled
600,000 cubic yards.
()
As TAG Grinding Services, Inc. maintained these two contracts, Hurricane Wilma struck Cape
Coral, Florida and, since we held the pre-event contract for this area, we began managing the
debris and providing crews for the debris removal for this area. As we completed the debris
removal for MDOT and Clarke County, Mississippi, we were approached by Dunn RoadBuilders
to assist them in Jones County, Mississippi on removing leaners and hangers from county
roadways. In addition, Dunn requested our assistance on removing debris left on county
roadsides by Ash Britt and the Corp of Engineers when they initially held the contract. This
debris consisted of large stumps and heavy debris that neither Ash Britt nor their subcontractors
had equipment to remove. Our final contract under Katrina came as a second tier contractor in
charge of removing debris from county right-of-way in Perry County, Mississippi. While
managing these projects we removed over 100,000 dangerous limbs, over 5,000 dead or dying
trees, over 170,000 cubic yards of other debris, demolished 15 damaged buildings and cleaned
450 miles of canals.

RE: Recommendation for TAG Grinding
To Whom It May Concern:
During the cleanup following Hurricane Katrina in the fall of 2005, I had the opportunity to wark ....ith
TAG Grinding. TAG was dir1:ctly respons~ble for the clean-up ofNewWn and Lauderdale Counties in
Ea..t-Central Mississippi. .
All TAG personnel worked closely v,rith my inspector at all times. They ....-ere ever vigilant of safety
requirements. I personally rode through their worl; zones on numerous occasiollS and witnessed the
work. All equipment and personnel were kept as far from the travel lanes as possible to ensure the
safety of the traveling public. All wait times were kept to a minimum in order to prevent unnecessary
inconvenience to the people of thc stnte of Mississippi. All of the supervisors would stop whatever tht.-y
were working on to address a specific request if I had one. I was always satisfied with the work that
they did, and feel that the taxpayers of Mississippi got the best value for their dollar.
Hurricane Katrina was my first experience with such widespread damage and destruction. I sincerely
hope that I DevCT have to deal with this sort of project again. However, ifl am faced with this challenge
again, I hope TAG Grinding is there to work with us. 1 feel they would be an asset to anyono facing this
sort of work, weather it bc due to hurricones, ice storms, or other forces of nature.
lfyou haw any questions, please feel free to contact me at my office (Phone: 601-483-1040).

City of Cape Coral
To Whom It May Concern,
r-
I have been working for the City of Cape Coral for 15 years. I am one of the City's four
Project Managers and one of my more recent tasks was to oversee the clean up of our 440
mile canal system. These canals were heavily littered with all types of foreign debris,
especially downed trees as II result of Hurricane Charley on August 13th of 2004. We
were able to secure 2.9 million dollars in funding from the U.S. Department of
Agriculture for this clean up effort and contracted with Tag Grinding for the largest
portion of this work. As oftoday, 3-2-05, we are about 95% complete with the project
and Tag Grinding crews have removed over 100,000 cubic yards ofborticultural debris
and 2500 tons of miscellaneous debris.
:-
This has been a fairly smooth project with very few problems. This in large part is due to
the excellent commWlication ai1d cooperation from Jerry BrookB of Tag Grinding.
Whenever any problems, scheduling conflicts or billing concerns came up. he was always
a phone call away and would immediately itddress any concerns before they became a
problem. We informed him early on of all of the USDA guidelines and requirements as
far as documentation and regulations and they made the process easy by the amount of
communication and cooperation provided. It seemed as we dealt with new hurdles along
the way, he was always willing to take on whatever additional task we would throw at
them.
Based on our expen(:nce with Tag Grinding. we would not hesitate to utilize their
services again or recommend them to other municipalities with the same needs.
If you have any questions or need any additional info you may contact me at;

Services, Inc. has at its disposal over two hundred (200) pieces of debris management
equipment that eliminate any logistical problem that may arise. Experienced employees are
made available to handle such items as temporary housing for employees, fuel deliveries and
the supply of power through generated power.
F. OPERATIONS OF TEMPORARY DEBRIS STORAGE AND REDUCTION SITES
After agreement with the applicant as to the location of reduction sites, a video of the sites
will be made to preserve the integrity and to assure that it is returned to its original condition.
TAG Grinding Services, Inc. will supervise the erection of any of these sites as directed by the

additional equipment will be conducted daily. If the need for additional equipment is needed, it
can be provided within six (6) hours.
K. CONSTRUCTING TOWERS
Because of safety concerns of people climbing observation towers, it has been
recommended by some FEMA personnel that man lifts be used as opposed to these towers. We
have adopted this policy and will rent man lifts capable of accommodating 3 to 4 observers. In
addition, we will provide an approved cover for the man lift if none is provided with the rental.
Although this is our standard policy, we ill construct the needed towers to the specification
requirements of the U. S. Army Corp of Engineers if the applicant deems this preferable.
L. PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS/NOTICES ON PROPOSAL VENUES

these notices on local radio stations for a minimum of 30 seconds each and will run these
advertisements a minimum of 3 days per week. All notices will be approved by the Contract
Administrator prior to release and will contain a description of work to be performed, how
debris should be places on the right-of-way, what is considered eligible debris, and the schedule
for debris removal.
M. TRACKING AND RECORDING WORK FOR INVOICE AND AUDIT PURPOSES
Daily reports are necessary to track the quantities of debris processed each day and to
monitor any potential problems that may develop. Using our unique computerized program in
tracking and invoicing all work, we have seldom had any discrepancies and, in the event of
discrepancy, have been able to quickly and efficiently resolve it. Daily reports, in both paper
and electronic version, will be submitted to the appropriate official(s) each morning for review
of the previous day's activities. In addition, we will designate one person for each collection
site to assist the applicant in monitoring each debris ticket as it is written. This process insures
officials of quick and accurate reimbursements from FEMA or other government agencies by
allowing review of the applicant's records with those of TAG Grinding Services, Inc. to alleviate
discrepancies when invoicing federal agencies. Before final payment is made, we will provide
the Contract Administrator with a release of claims and certification that all subcontractors of
TAG, as well as all suppliers of both TAG and its subcontractors, have been paid.
o
We are currently developing additional software that will enable us to use "smart cards".
This program is per recommendations from FEMA and will further eliminate discrepancies that
may occur with current paper/electronic documentation. All loads will be designated at the
origination point with GPS location, which will assist in the qualification of debris and expedite
reimbursement from FEMA. Furthermore, this program provides for full electronic data storage
at both loading and dumping sites and can be downloaded daily, or at any required time,
directly into applicant computers. .

N. LOCAL PARTICIPATION AND SUBCONTRACTING POUCY
It is the policy of TAG Grinding Service, Inc. to provide employment opportunities for all
qualified subcontractors and individuals that we can hire. Therefore, upon award of the
contract or issuance of a notice to proceed, we will advertise with local newspapers/radio
stations listing services needed. All applicants will be screened for qualifications prior to being
hired to fill vacant positions. We will give preference to minority-owned businesses.
Due to our records of weekly payroll for the previous workweek, there are a large
number of subcontractors that have worked with us on previous disaster efforts that begin
contacting us as soon as there is any word of possible disaster. These subcontractors are
experienced and highly qualified for disaster recovery services and are familiar with are method
of management. Therefore, we will use many of these subcontractors if needed.
O. OTHER UNI~UE SERVICES PROVIDED BY BIDDER

UNDERSTANDING OF PROJECT REQUIREMENTS
DISASTER RESPONSE ACTION PLAN
PURPOSE
· To provide management, supervision, labor, equipment, and tools to provide service to
the City of Sunny Isles Beach for the removal and disposition of debris caused by a
major disaster.
· To facilitate and coordinate the management and removal of debris following a disaster
in order to mitigate against any potential threat to the lives, health, safety, and welfare
of the impacted citizens, expedite recovery efforts in the impacted area, and address
any threat of significant damage to improved public or private property.
SITUATION
o
· Natural and manmade disasters precipitate a variety of debris that include, but are not
limited to, such things as trees, gravel, sand, building construction material, vehicles,
personal property, and hazardous materials.
· The quantity and type of debris generated from any particular disaster will be a function
of the location and kind of event experienced, as well as its magnitude, duration, and
intensity.
· The quantity and type of debris generated, its location, and the size of the area over
which it is dispersed will have a direct impact on the type of collection and disposal
methods utilized to address the debris problem, associated costs incurred, and how
quickly the problem can be addressed. .
. In a major or catastrophic disaster, many state agencies and local governments will
have difficulty in locating staff, equipment, and funds to devote to debris removal, in the
short-term as well as long-term.
CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
Emergency Operations Center Activation
()
· TAG Grinding Services, upon issuance of a notice to proceed, will provide an Emergency
Operations Center (EOC) at a designated site pre-appointed through discussion with
designated officials of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida. If this pre-appOinted site has received
damage making it unsafe or unsuitable for use, TAG Grinding Services, Inc. will provide
a temporary EOC until a more permanent site can be established.
· The Debris Management Task Force (DMTF) will be made up of management personnel
of TAG Grinding Services, Inc. to include Jerry Brooks; Emergency Operations Director;
Jeff Hill, Chief Project Coordinator; John Bowden, Contract Compliance; Charlene Daniel,
Project/Documentation Coordinator and other supervisory personnel as needed, as well
as designated officials for the City. Complete assignment of specific duties as required
by the event will be assigned at this time.
· The EOC and staff will assist the City in review and documentation of the extent of
damage and resulting debris and assist in the appropriate directives to implement the
restoration process.
~
. TAG Grinding Services will assist the City in creating an appendix that contains a listing
of key points of contact and forward this appendix to all appropriate personnel.
w
Estimating the Type and Amount of Debris
. Although it is not standard procedure for contractors to assist in the estimation of
debris, TAG Grinding Services, Inc. can provide the required Debris Estimating Model as
provided by the United States Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) Emergency Management
staff. In addition, we will assist City officials in debris estimation if requested.
. Once the area has been assessed, actions will be taken to implement Phase I debris-
clearing procedures.
Site Selection Priorities
. The number of Temporary Debris Storage and Reduction (TDSR) sites will be based on
the estimation of debris. TAG will provide assistance to the City to obtain additional
TDSR sites if so deemed necessary. Preliminary TDSR sites will be established prior to
an event.
. TDSR sites will be prioritized as follows:
First Priority: Pre-determined TDSR sites
Second Priority: Public property within the damaged area
Last Priority: Private property
Pre-Designated TDSR Sites
G
. Pre-identified TDSR sites should be identified on City/County maps and provided to TAG
Grinding Services, Inc.
. Contact information for the designated agency responsible for TDSR site should be
forwarded to TAG (e.g. Solid Waste Authority, Public Works, etc.)
. Detailed information should include exact location, size, available ingress and egress
routes and results of an environmental assessment and initial data samples. If this
information is not available, TAG will provide assistance in establishing this information.
. Baseline date should include videotapes, photographs, documentation of physical and
biological features, and soil and water samples. TAG Grinding Services can provide
assistance in establishing this baseline information.
. The list of TDSR sites should be reviewed annually and updated as necessary as part of
the normal maintenance plan. This information should be forward to TAG Grinding
Services, Inc. as it is made available.
TDSR Site Preparation
. Upon review of the TDSR site, TAG Grinding Services, Inc. will prepare actions that need
to be accomplished.
. An operation layout, which includes ingress and egress routes, will be established and
forwarded to appropriate City officials.
. Baseline information will be updated as required.
Existing Landfills
o · City officials should identify and locate all city, county and private landfills.
. Restrictions and limitations for these landfills should be forwarded to TAG, along with
the name and location of each site.
-
. Tipping fees will be the responsibility of the City unless otherwise noted in the contract
documents.
o DEBRIS REMOVAL
General
. Hurricanes and other natural disasters can generate unprecedented amounts of debris in
a few hours or a few minutes. The debris may be equally heavy in both urban and rural
areas depending on the magnitude of the tree blow-down and associated structural
damage such as homes, businesses, utilities, and signs.
. Debris removal, regardless of source, becomes a high priority following a disaster.
Debris management strategy for a large-scale debris removal operation divides the
operation into two phases.
. Phase I consists of the clearance of the debris that hinders immediate life saving actions
being taken within the disaster area and the clearance of that debris which poses an
immediate threat to public health and safety.
. Phase II operations consist of the removal and disposal of that debris which is
determined necessary to ensure the orderly recovery of the community and to eliminate
less immediate threats to public health and safety.
Emergency Roadway Debris Removal (Phase I)
o
. City personnel will identify critical routes that are essential to emergency operations.
. Roadway debris removal involves the opening of arterial roads and collector streets by
moving debris to the shoulder of the road. There is no attempt to physically remove or
dispose of the debris, only to clear key access routes to expedite the movement of
emergency vehicles, law enforcement, and critical services, as well as provide for
assessment of damage to key public facilities and utilities such as schools, hospitals, and
government buildings.
. The type of debris, as well as the priority to open access to other critical community
facilities shall be defined by City officials.
. The requirement for governmental services will be increased drastically following a
major natural disaster. Per contract requirements, TAG Grinding Services, Inc. will
provide necessary additional services including, but not limited to, water, temporary
power, temporary housing, temporary dry-in, blue roof services, etc.
Supervision and Special Considerations
. Immediate debris clearing (Phase I) actions will be supervised by appropriate City or
State officials, in conjunction with TAG management staff.
. All personnel will be required to adhere to all local, state, and federal safety rules and
regulations. All equipment will be equipped with proper safety equipment as per local,
state, and federal requirements.
Public Right-of-Ways (ROW) Debris Removal and Disposal (Phase II)
o
. Debris is simply pushed to the shoulders of the roadway during emergency opening
(Phase I) of key routes. There is little time or concern for sorting debris at that time.
The objective is to provide for the safe movement of emergency and support vehicles
into and out of the disaster area. As removal operations progress, the initial roadside
piles of debris become the. dumping location for additional yard waste and other storm-
generated debris, such as construction material, personal property, trash, white metals
o
such as refrigerators, washers, dryers and hot water heaters, roofing and even
household, commercial, and agricultural chemicals.
· City officials, along with TAG Grinding Services, Inc., will coordinate debris removal
operations.
· Field inspections supervisors will be established by TAG Grinding Services, Inc. to assist
in supervising the debris removal operations.
· Monitors for debris removal operations, who will be responsible for tickets and loading
and dumping sites, will be provided by the City.
· Daily update briefings will be held between key supervisory personnel of both TAG and
City officials. This will ensure that all major debris removal and disposal actions are
reviewed and approved City officials, as well as provide an opportunity to resolve any
coordination problems between State and Federal debris removal efforts and local debris
removal efforts and disposal efforts.
· Appropriate traffic control efforts will be taken to expedite debris removal activities while
ensuring the safety of those using the roadways.
· TAG will implement a proactive information plan. This plan will provide actions the
public can perform to expedite the cleanup process, such as separating burnable and
non-burnable debris; segregating HHW; placing debris at the curbside; keeping debris
piles away from fire hydrants and valves; reporting locations of illegal dump sites or
incidents of illegal dumping; and segregating recyclable materials. This plan will be
provide to the public through the use of local radio, television, and print.
. TAG will assist City officials in keeping the public informed of debris pick-up schedules,
disposal methods, and ongoing actions through the use of local radio, television, and
print. The following questions are likely to be asked:
What is the pick-up system?
When will the contractor be in my area?
Who are the contractors and how can I contact them?
Should I separate the different debris materials and how?
How do I handle Household Hazardous Waste?
What if I am elderly?
TAG will assist City officials in appropriate answers to questions based on FEMA
guidelines.
o
Private Property Debris Removal
o
· Dangerous structures should be the responsibility of the owner or the City to demolish
the health and safety of adjacent residents. However, experience has shown that
unsafe structures will remain because of the lack of insurance, absentee landlords, or
under-staffed and under-equipped local governments. Consequently, demolition of
these structures may become eligible for federal assistance. If that is the case, TAG will
provide equipment and personal necessary for demolition of approved structures and
disposal of debris from this demolition.
· The most significant building demolition problem will be that local governments do not
have proper ordinances in effect to handle emergency condemnation procedures. If
proper ordinances are in place, a copy of said ordinances should be made available to
TAG personnel.
· There is always the possibility that structures will be misidentified or have people or
belongings in them when demolition crews arrive. Therefore, it is imperative that City
officials work closely with TAG management personnel to ensure efficient and safe
demolition of properties. It is recommended that at least one FEMA representative be
on site to work directly with City officials to ensure that all required legal actions are
taken.
Household Hazardous Wastes Removal
....
o
. HHW may be generated as a result of a natural disaster. HHW may consist of common
household chemicals, propane tanks, oxygen bottles, batteries, and industrial and
agricultural chemicals. These items will be mixed into the debris stream and will require
close attention throughout the debris removal and disposal process.
. Salvageable hazardous materials will be collected and segregated based on their
intended use. Properly trained personnel, provided by Complete Environmental, will
accomplish removal of all hazardous waste. Cleanup actions will meet or exceed all
local, state, and federal regulations.
. HHW debris will be identified and removed prior to the building demolition. Personnel
provided by Complete Environmental will identify and remove all HHW.
. A separate staging area for HHW materials, contaminated soil, and contaminates debris
will be necessary and will be established at each TDSR site. The staging area will be
lined with an impermeable material and bermed to prevent contamination of the
groundwater and surrounding area. Materials will be removed and disposed of using
qualified HHW personnel provided by Complete Environmental in accordance with all
local, state, and federal regulations.
TEMPORARY DEBRIS STORAGE AND REDUCTION SITES
o
. Once the debris is removed from the damaged area, it will be taken to temporary debris
storage and reduction sites.
. Removal and debris actions will be handled expeditiously and safely. Equipment and
personnel will be provided per the magnitude of the event.
. SITE PREPARATION: The topography and soil conditions will be evaluated to determine
the best site layout. Ways to make the remediation and restoration easier will be
considered.
. SITE OPERATIONS: Site operation will be in accordance with FEMA guidelines, in
addition to local, state, and federal guidelines.
. Lined temporary storage areas for ash, HHW, fuels, and other materials that can
contaminate soil, surface water and groundwater will be established if necessary. If
possible, plastic liners will be used under stationary equipment such as generators and
mobile lighting plants.
. If the site is also an equipment staging area, fuel and equipment repair will be
monitored to prevent and mitigate spills such as petroleum products and hydraulic
fluids. Appropriate measures will be taken in the event of such spills.
. TAG Grinding Services, Inc. is constantly aware of things that might irritate neighbors of
the TDSR sites. Proper construction and operation of incineration pits will be necessary
to ensure low smoke. Water trucks will be employed to lower dust. Perimeter berms
will be constructed to lower noise. Proper layout of ingress and egress procedures will
be mandatory to help traffic flow.
DEBRIS REDUCTION METHODS
Volume Reduction by Incineration
The following are various incineration methods, which may be used if deemed preferable by City officials.
Although incineration methods can be used, TAG prefers grinding and chipping methods as the
preferable methods of debris reduction due to environmental recycling issues.
o
· There are several incineration methods available including uncontrolled open
incineration, controlled open incineration, air curtain incineration, and refractor line pit
incineration. TAG will work will City officials to implement the most appropriate method
if incineration is requested as part of the overall reduction strategy.
...
o
· Uncontrolled Open Incineration: Uncontrolled open incineration is the least
desirable method of volume reduction because it lacks environmental control. However,
in the haste to make progress, the Department of Natural Resources may issue waivers
to allow this method of reduction early in a disaster.
· Controlled Open Incineration: Controlled open incineration is a cost-effective
method for reducing clean woody debris in rural areas. This option must be terminated
if mixed debris such as treated lumber, poles, nails, bolts, tin, and aluminum sheeting
enters the waste flow. Clean woody tree debris presents little environmental damage
and the resulting ash can be used as a soil additive by the local agricultural community.
Department of Agriculture and county agricultural extension personnel should be
consulted to determine if and how the resulting ash can be recycled as a soil additive.
Responsible agencies and telephone numbers should be provided to TAG should City
officials choose this method.
· Air Curtain Pit Incineration: Air curtain pit incineration offers an effective means to
expedite the volume reduction process by substantially reducing the environmental
concerns caused by open incineration. Specifications and statements of work will be
developed to expedite the proper use of the systems and ensure the City if the
knowledge of air curtain incineration by TAG.
· Refractor Lined Pit Incineration: Pre-manufactured refractory lined pit burners are
an alternative to air curtain open pit incineration. The units can be erected on site in a
minimal amount of time. Some are portable and some are built in place. The units are
especially suited for location with high water tables, sandy soil, or where materials are
not available to build above ground pits. The engineered features designed into the
units allow for a reduction of approximately 95% with minimum air pollution. The air
curtain traps smoke and small particles and re-circulates them to enhance combustion
that reaches over 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit. Manufacturers claim that combustion rates
of about 25 tons per hour are achievable while still meeting emission standards.
. Local officials, environmental groups, and local citizens should be thoroughly briefed on
the type of incineration method being used, how the systems work, environmental
standards, health issues, and the risk associated with each type of incineration. A
proactive public information strategy to include press releases and media broadcasts
should be included in any operation that envisions incineration as a primary means of
volume reduction.
o
Environmental Controls
o
Environmental controls are essential for all incineration methods, and the following will be
considered:
· A setback of at least 1,000 feet will be maintained between the debris piles and the
incineration area. There will be at least 1,000 feet between the incineration area and
the nearest building. Fencing and warning signs will be used to keep public away from
the incineration area.
· The fire will be extinguished approximately two hours before anticipated removal of the
ash mound. The ash mound will be removed when it reaches 2 feet below the lip on the
incineration pit.
. The incineration area will be placed in an above ground or below ground pit, depending
on the site, that is no wider that 8 feet and between 9 and 14 feet deep.
· The incineration pits will be constructed with limestone and reinforced with earth
anchors or wire mesh to support the weight of the loaders. There will be a 1-foot
impervious layer of clay or limestone on the bottom of the pit to seal the ash from the
aquifier.
· The ends of the pit will be sealed with dirt or ash to a height of 4 feet.
· A 12-inch dirt seal will be placed on the lip of the incineration pit area to seal the blower
nozzle. The nozzle will be 3 to 6 inches from the end of the pit.
.....
o
. There will be one-foot high, unburnable warning stops along the edge of the pit's length
to prevent the loader from damaging the lip on the incineration pit.
. Hazardous or contaminated ignitable material will not be placed in the pit. This is to
prevent contained explosions.
· The airflow will hit the wall of the pit about 2 feet below the top edge of the pit, and the
debris will not break the path of airflow except during dumping.
. The pit will be no longer than the length of the blower system, and the pit will be loaded
uniformly along the length.
Volume Reduction by Grinding and Chipping
This is the preferred method of debris reduction for TAG Grinding Services, Inc. because it is generally
more affordable than incineration techniques and is more environmentally friendly.
o
. Hurricanes and tornadoes, as well as ice storms, may present the opportunity to employ
large-scale grinding and chipping operations as part of the overall debris volume
reduction strategy. Hurricanes can blow away scarce topsoil in the agricultural areas
and cause extensive tree damage and blow-down. This two-fold loss, combined with
the local climatic conditions, may present an excellent opportunity to reduce clean
woody debris into suitable mulch that can be used to replenish the topsoil and retain soil
moisture.
. Grinding and chipping woody debris is a viable method. It is more environmentally
friendly, and the resulting product, mulch, can be recycled. In some locations the mulch
will be a desirable product because of shallow topsoil conditions. In other locations it
may become a landfill product.
. Grinding and chipping woody debris reduces the large amounts of tree blow-down.
Chipping operations are suitable in urban areas where streets are narrow or in groves of
trees where it is cheaper to reduce the woody vegetation to mulch than to move it to a
central grinding site and then returning it to the affected area. This reduces the costs
associated with double handling.
. The DMTF will work closely with local environmental and agricultural groups to
determine if there is a market for mulch. Another source for disposal of ground woody
debris may be as an alternative fuel for industrial heating or for use in a cogeneration
plant.
· There are numerous makes and models of grinders and chippers on the market. TAG
Grinding Services, Inc. will work closely with City officials in determining the best grinder
application based on the usage of the resulting mulch.
. Chippers are ideal for use in residential areas, orchards, and groves. The number of
damage and uprooted trees presents a significant problem if they are pushed to the
rights-of-way for eventual pick-up and transport to staging and reduction sites. The
costs associated with chipping are reasonable because the material does not need to be
transported twice. This method is generally used when dealing with large volumes of
uprooted trees in one localized area. It is not cost effective if dealing with trees that are
scattered throughout a generalized area.
. Grinders are ideal for use at debris staging and reductions sites because of their high
volume reduction capacity. Locating the grinders is critical from a noise and safety
point-of-view. Moreover, there is a need for a large area to hold the woody debris and
an area to hold the resulting mulch. Ingress and egress routes to the site are also an
important consideration. TAG will provide a detailed layout of the staging and reduction
site to County officials prior to beginning operations. The layout will be based on the
evaluation of the site, as well as the surrounding area.
o
TDSR SITE CLOSE-OUT PROCEDURES
..
o
· Each TDSR site will eventually be emptied of all material and be restored to its previous
condition and use. TAG will remove and dispose of all mixed debris, construction and
demolition (C & D) debris, and debris residue to approved landfills. Quality assurance
inspectors will monitor all closeout and disposal activities to ensure contract compliance.
Additional measure required by local, state, and federal agencies will be adhered based
on the nature of the staging and reduction operation.
· All sites will be properly remediated. TAG will establish baseline data collection and
strict site operation procedures will be followed to ensure proper restoration.
· The basic closeout steps are to remove all debris from the site; conduct and
environmental audit or assessment; develop a remediation or restoration plan approved
by the appropriate environmental agency; execute the plan; get acceptance from the
landowner; and terminate lease payments, if applicable. The key to timely closeout of
the mission is the efficient scheduling of the above activities for multiple sites.
Therefore critical path scheduling of all activities as far in advance as possible will
minimize down time between steps.
. Environmental Restoration: Stockpiled debris will be a mix of woody vegetation,
construction materials, household items, and yard waste. HHW and medical waste will
be segregated and removed prior to stockpiling. Activities at the debris disposal site will
include anyone or a combination of the following activities: stockpiling, sorting,
recycling, incineration, grinding, and chipping. Incineration is done in air curtain pits
and generally only woody debris is incinerated; however, the efficiency of the
incineration and the quality of incineration material is highly variable. Contamination
may occur from petroleum spills at staging and reduction sites or runoff from the debris
piles, incineration sites, and ash piles.
· Site Remediation: During the debris removal process and after the material has been
removed from each debris site, environmental monitoring will be need to close each of
the sites. This is to ensure that no long-term environmental contamination is left on the
site. The monitoring should be done on three different media: ash, soil, and
groundwater.
· The monitoring of ash should consist of chemical testing to determine the suitability of
the material for land-filling.
· Monitoring of the soils should be by portable methods to determine if any of the soils
are contaminated by volatile hydrocarbons. TAG will do this if it determined that
hazardous material, such as oil or diesel fuel was spilled on the site. This phase of the
monitoring should be done after the stockpiles are removed from the site.
. The monitoring of the groundwater should be done on selected sites to determine the
probable effects of rainfall leaching through either the ash areas or the stockpile areas.
· TAG Grinding Services, Inc. considers the following requirements to closeout a
temporary staging and reduction site(s):
./' Coordinate with local, state, and federal officials regarding requirements and
support for implementation of a site remediation.
./' Establish a testing and monitoring program. TAG will be responsible for
environmental restoration of both public and leased sites. TAG will also remove
all debris from sites for final disposal at landfills prior to closure.
./' Reference appropriate and applicable environmental regulations.
./' Prioritize site closures.
./' Schedule closeout activities.
./' Determine separate protocols for air, water, and soil testing.
./' Develop cost estimates.
./' Develop decision criteria for certifying closure based on limited baseline
information.
./' Meet with approving authority to review and evaluate closure activities, progress,
and completion.
o
o
o
.
a
../ Retain staff during closeout phase to develop site-specific remediation, as
needed, based on the information obtained from the closure checklist.

MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR EVENT TYPES
EVENT TYPE 1: SPOT JOBS - LOCALIZED
This type of scenario will require manpower and equipment primarily for the assistance
of the local governmental resources such as public work departments. We will provide
necessary crews of chainsaw operators, laborers, skid steers and operators, and hauling
equipment necessary to clear roads and remove debris. We have adequate manpower and
equipment to manage this size project without the assistance of subcontractors.
Debris from this type of event is typically woody in nature and smaller in volume.
Therefore, a TDSRS is not necessary as such facilities are, under FEMA guidelines, only needed
in major disasters and where there are not sufficient landfills available to handle debris in a
timely manner. City/County landfills are typically sufficient to handle the smaller amount of
debris although it would be required to be segregated from other debris at the landfill for
monitoring and reimbursement purposes.
o
This type of scenario can be handled efficiently with 1-4 crews of 2-4 men with saws
and equipment. Hauling can be accomplished with 1-2 trucks per crew. Trucks will be self-
loading 30-40 cubic yard dump trucks. Supervisory personnel will be at a minimum with one
project manager who would manage the entire project. Paperwork will be handled by the
project manager and will include time sheets to provide hours provided by personnel and
equipment. This size event would qualify to be managed under the FEMA Public Assistance
Pilot Program. More information on this program can be obtained by contacting us.
An example of our response to this type of project would be our recent assistance to the
City of Atlanta after damage caused by a tornado. We assisted the City in managing debris
collected by City personnel, ground and hauled off the debris, assisted the City in filing
appropriate paperwork with FEMA, and assisted with negotiations with FEMA in order to receive
reimbursement.
EVENT TYPE 2: SMALL EVENT - WIDESPREAD OR CITY/COUNTY WIDE
o
This type of scenario, although small in nature, will require more personnel and
equipment due to its widespread nature. Depending on the size of the city/county landfill, a
TDSRS still may not be necessary. If a site is required, it will be small in size and will be used
for a short period as a temporary storage site only, allowing for the segregation of debris if
debris other than vegetation is present. No specialized reduction, such as burning, would be
required although grinding of vegetative debris may be requested. We are familiar with the fact
that FEMA is subject to the Resource Conservation & Recovery Act (RCRA) that requires safe
disposal of all waste materials, encourages cooperation with local authorities and promotes
recycling of waste materials. The TDSRS will be reclaimed at the conclusion of work as
regulated by FEMA, Regulation # 325. We will follow site closure procedures; realizing site
closure is an important portion of the debris mission and should not be overlooked. We will
follow these guidelines, insuring that: 1) that all operations are complete and the site has been
-
cleared and cleaned of all debris, 2) current environmental data on soil and water will be
compare to baseline data taken before the site was activated, 3) and insure that the site is
restored to its prior condition.
o This type of scenario can be handled with 6-10 crews of 1-2 men with saws and
equipment. Hauling can be accomplished with 1-2 trucks per crew. Trucks will be self-loading
30-40 cubic yard dump trucks. Supervisory personnel will be at a minimum with one project
manager and possibly one superintendent for the entire project. Necessary paperwork,
including load tickets and daily reports, will be managed and provided by supervisory personnel.
This size event would qualify to be managed under the FEMA Public Assistance Pilot Program.
More information on this program can be obtained by contacting us. We have adequate
manpower and equipment to manage this size project without the assistance of subcontractors.
An example of our response to the type of event would be our assistance to Cheneyville,
North Carolina in response to damage from an ice storm where we assisted City personnel in
the removal of eligible debris from the public ROW, as well as the filing of necessary paperwork
with FEMA to receive reimbursement.
EVENT TYPE 3: SIGNIFICANT EVENT - REMOVAL, REDUCTION, HAULING -
WOODY DEBRIS ONLY - WIDESPREAD OR CITY/COUNTY WIDE
o
This type of event will not only require more personnel and equipment, but will also
mandate the establishment of a TDSRS. The mSRS will be established per requirements and
regulations of FEMA and will be in an area pre-established or agreed upon by City personnel.
Vegetative debris will be ground or burned per requirement of City personnel and hauled off of
the TDSRS to a location approved by FEMA. In past performances, we have established many
TDSRSs following FEMA requirements & regulations by insuring that each site has: 1) ingress
and egress routes that allow for good traffic flow, 2) inspection towers that allow close
inspection of trucks, 3) clearly-defined segregation areas, 4) clearly identified reduction sites, 4)
a completed baseline environmental study on hand. Additional manpower and equipment
necessary to manage the TDSRS will be provided. The TDSRS will be reclaimed at the
conclusion of work as regulated by FEMA, Regulation # 325. We will follow site closure
procedures; realizing site closure is an important portion of the debris mission and should not
be overlooked. We will follow these guidelines, insuring that: 1) that all operations are
complete and the site has been cleared and cleaned of all debris, 2) current environmental data
on soil and water will be compare to baseline data taken before the site was activated, 3) and
insure that the site is restored to its prior condition.
o
Initial response will include a plan to divide the affected area into quadrants that will be
managed by one superintendent per quadrant. Supervisory personnel will also include one
project manager and, if required, one safety manager. Each quadrant established will be
assigned 6-8 crews initially with the addition of more crews if necessary. Crews will be 1-2
laborers with saws, one skid steer/loader with operator, and traffic personnel. Hauling will be
accomplished with 3-5 trucks per crew. Trucks will include self-loading 30-40 cubic yard dump
trucks, and 30-40 cubic yard dump trucks. Furthermore, if assistance is required to aid the City
in the removal of leaning and hanging hazardous trees and limbs, as well as the removal of
hazardous stumps, crews including bucket trucks and excavators will be provided. Necessary
paperwork, including load tickets and daily reports, will be managed and provided by
supervisory personnel. We have adequate manpower and equipment to manage this size
project with little or no assistance from subcontractors.
An example of our response to this type of event is our assistance to Manning, South
Carolina in response to damage from an ice storm where we assisted City personnel in the
--
removal of eligible debris from the public ROW, trimming damaged limbs and broken trees,
managing the TDSRS to include reduction and disposal of debris, as well as assisting the City
with the filing of necessary paperwork with FEMA to receive reimbursement.
o EVENT TYPE 4: SIGNIFICANT EVENT - REMOVAL, REDUCTION, HAULING,
AND SEPERATING - MIXED DEBRIS - WIDESPREAD OR CITY/COUNTY WIDE
This type of event will require the same response as Event Type 3, but with the addition
of areas at the TDSRS necessary to segregate and store separated debris, as well as additional
personnel and equipment to manage the removal, separating, hauling, and reduction of the
segregated debris. Any debris eligible for recycling will be hauled to appropriate recycling
facilities. Vegetative debris will be ground or burned per requirements of the City and reduced
debris will be hauled to a location approved by FEMA. The TDSRS will be reclaimed at the
conclusion of work as regulated by FEMA, Regulation # 325. We will follow site closure
procedures; realizing site closure is an important portion of the debris mission and should not
be overlooked. We will follow these guidelines, insuring that: 1) that all operations are
complete and the site has been cleared and cleaned of all debris, 2) current environmental data
on soil and water will be compare to baseline data taken before the site was activated, 3) and
insure that the site is restored to its prior condition.
Furthermore, additional crews trained in the handling of hazardous materials may be
required and would be provided if necessary. Hazardous materials will be staged in an area
provided at the TDSRS as required and regulated by FEMA and would be disposed of in a
manner so as to adhere to all federal rules and regulations, including those of FEMA. We have
adequate manpower and equipment to manage the majority of this size project but would
require the assistance of our subcontractor for the handling of hazardous materials.
o
An example of our response to this type of event is our assistance to Cape Coral, Florida
in response to damage from Hurricane Wilma where we assisted City personnel in the removal
of eligible debris from the public ROW, trimming damaged limbs and broken trees, managing
the TDSRS to include reduction and disposal of debris. Furthermore, we removed debris from
canals and waterways, and assisted the City with the filing of necessary paperwork with FEMA
to receive reimbursement.
EVENT TYPE 5: CATASTROPHIC EVENT - REMOVAL, REDUCTION, HAULING,
AND SEPERATING - MIXED DEBRIS - WIDESPREAD OR CITY/COUNTY WIDE
Although this type of event is larger in nature, it will be handled in much the same way
as Event Type 4. Primary differences will be the amount of crews and supervisory and support
personnel, as well as the addition of multiple TDSRS. Quadrants will be initially assigned to 10-
12 crews per quadrant with additional crews added as necessary. Hauling equipment will be
increased to include 100 cubic yard trucks. Supervisory personnel will include the addition of a
safety manager, quality control manager, and documentation manager, as well as support
personnel for each assignment and additional personnel to manage and maintain the additional
TDSRS(s). All TDSRS will be reclaimed at the conclusion of work. Although we have adequate
manpower and equipment to manage a large portion of this size project, assistance from
subcontractors will be necessary. Please refer to our subcontractor policy for more information.
o
An example of our response to this type of event is our assistance to Cape Coral, Florida
in response to damage from Hurricane Charlie where we assisted City personnel in the removal
of eligible debris from the public ROW, trimming damaged limbs and broken trees, managing
the TDSRS to include reduction and disposal of debris. Furthermore, we removed debris from
canals and waterways, and assisted the City with the filing of necessary paperwork with FEMA
to receive reimbursement. Although we were not the primary contractor on this project, our
superior work and management ultimately led to the award of the pre-event contract for Cape
Coral.
Q EVENT TYPE 6: CATASTROPHIC EVENT - SITE MANAGEMENT - CITY/COUNTY
WIDE
This type of event will be managed in much the same way as Event Type 5 but with the
inclusion of additional services. Such services will include temporary power, temporary housing,
water, and ice services, if necessary. Furthermore, additional crews, equipment, and
supervisory and support personnel will be provided as necessary. Although we have adequate
manpower and equipment to manage a large portion of this size project, assistance from
subcontractors will ~e necessary. Please refer to our subcontractor policy for more information.
An example of our response to this type of event is our assistance to Ft. Walton Beach,
Florida in response to damage from Hurricane Charlie where we assisted City personnel in the
removal of eligible debris from the public ROW, trimming damaged limbs and broken trees,
managing the TDSRS to include reduction and disposal of debris. Furthermore, we assisted the
City with the filing of necessary paperwork with FEMA to receive reimbursement. Although we
were not initially the primary contractor on this project, we were called by the City to respond
when the primary contractor failed to do so. We moved in to the area approximately 3:00 a.m.,
were assisted by local police in confiscating a hotel for temporary housing and office area, and
began work by 10:00 a.m. that same morning.
SUMMARY
o
All events, regardless of size or nature, adversely affect life for local citizens and it is our
mission to provide quality, efficient, and timely response to your City. We provide yearly
training sessions, which include the most current information available from FEMA regarding
public assistance rules and regulations. Furthermore, this meeting allows us the opportunity to

Inspection of Debris: As soon as possible after the disaster event has subsided, the Contractor must make a
detailed and thorough on-site inspection of debris to be removed, and consider (1) amounts and types of
debris; (2) working conditions such as traffic, streeVroad width, and land use; (3) means to ingress and
egress to work areas; and (4) all other factors affecting the removal and disposal work.
Coordination: Debris removal is limited to that which is detennined by the City Debris Manager to be in the best
public interest and that which is considered essential to the economic recovery of the affected area. The City
Debris Manager will determine priorities for debris removal. The Contractor must coordinate closely with and take
direction from the City Debris Manager. The Contractor must coorcinate with other contractors and other public
and private entities also performing recovery operations.
City Limits: Work is limited to specified areas within the City of Sunny Isles Beach.
Quality Assurance: Work will be closely monitored by City personnel, and/or its desiglee. The Contractor
must cooperate with all monitors representing the City and the Federal Emergency Management AfPlCY (FEMA).
DEBRIS REMOVAL
General: The goal of the debris removal work is to clear, load, and haul debris from public property and the public
rights-of-way to an approved landfill. In general, but not exclusively, this consists of curbside debris removal on
City property. The types of debris to be removed include, but are not limited to trees, wcxxfy debris, brush, building
wreckage, construction and demolition debris (C&D), and personal property and household goods on public property
or in public rights-of-way. Hazardous materials are not covered by this scope of work.
Preparatlon/Submlttal: Prior to commencing any removal work, the beds of all hauling vehides must be
measured to determine their fully loaded capacities. All measurements must be made by a joint City or its
designee/Contractor team. The vehides must be marked extemaUy with the owner/operato~s name, the contract
number, vehicle 10 number and the fully loaded capacity. Those markings must be clearly visible on both sides of
the vehicle. Those markings must be placed on both sides and the front wall of the bed. Markings must be
certified by the City or its designee and Contractor. A rlSt of all vehicles, with the owner/operator's name, vehide 10
number and hauling capacity must be submitted to the City Debris Manager before the vehicles are placed in
service. The City will provide five (5) part load tickets for each vehicle at each debris loading site. The load
tickets must be presented to the City's monitor at the designated disposal site.
Hazardous Materials: Hazardous and toxic wastes will be loaded, hauled, and disposed of by others and are
excluded from this work. The City may execute a separate hazardous materials removal and disposal contract;
however, collection schedules may not necessarily coincide with the debris removal work. Hazardous materials
include chemicals, petroleum products, paint products, asbestos, power transformers, oxygen bottles,
propane tanks, batteries, industrial and agricultural chemicals, cleaning agents and similar hazardous,
dangerous or toxic materials. Some preliminary curbside separation will be attempted, but contractor must be
aware that hazardous materials might be commingled with debris. Contractor shall take every precaution to
avoid loading and hauling hazardous materials. Notwithstanding, contractor forces must be aware of the

7.10.5. Debris Removal: During debris removal operations, extreme caution must be exercised by the Contractor to
ensure that no damage is done to publiC or private properties. Tracked vehicles may not be operated on paved
surfaces.
7.1Q6. Loading: All loose debris, such as tree limbs, must be reasonably compacted on the hauUng vehicles during
loading. All debris extending beyond the vehicle in any horizontal direction must be cut off or otherwise removed.
7.10.7. Hauling: All vehicles utilized in hauling debris must be equipped with adequate means for containing the load,
including canvas covering while transporting the debris to the landfill. Covering must effectively prevent debris from
being blown or bounced off the vehicles.
Sideboards or other extensions to the bed will be permitted provided they meet state and local requirements,
cover front, back, and two sides, and are substantially constnx:ted. Sideboards must be constructed of 2" x 6" lumber
or greater and may extend no more than two (2) feet beyond the metal bed sides. Vehicles must be equipped with a
tailgate or other devices that will effectively contain the debris on the vehicle while hauling, and also perm~ the

prepared. The City reserves the right to increase or decrease the scope of the removal activity as he/she deems
necessary to ensure effective management of the overall debris removaVdisposal operations.
7.11.2. Working Hours: Unless otherwise pennitted by the City, working hours for removal operations shall be limited
to daylight hours.
7.12. EXTRA WORK
At the City's option, the scope of work may be expanded to include Federal Aid System roadwyays, public parks, other
recreational areas, drainage structures, and channels.
7.13. UNIT PRICE PER CUBIC YARD OR TON BASIS OF MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
7.13.1. Debris removal will be paid for on the basis of a unit price per cubic yard or by the ton for all debris loaded.
hauled, and dumped at an approved landfill. The unit price per cubic yard or ton must include all subsidiary costs,
including but not limited to labor, equipment, fuel, maintenance, general administration, and overhead and profit.
Compensation will be based solely on the volume of debris hauled as dcx:umented by oompleted load tickets
administered and validated by City monitors.
7.13.2. The following conversion factors will be used to convert from cubic yards to tons unless material is weighed at
certified scales, in which case, the net weight of the materials shall prevail:
· Mixed Debris - Vegetation and Construction & Demolition = 500 LBSlCY or CY x 0.25 = Tons
· Yard Vegetation - SoftWood = 333.33 LBS/CY or CY x 0.167 = Tons
· Yard Vegetation - Hard Wood = 500 LBS/CY or CY x 0.25 = Tons
· Construction & Demolition = 1000 LBS/CY or CY x 0.5 = Tons
· Mulch = 1000 LBS/Cy or CY x 0.5 = Tons
· Regular Trash = 300 LBS/CY or CY x 0.15 = Tons
· Concrete = 2000 LBS/CY or CY x 1.0 = Tons
· Sand = 2600 LBS/CY or CY x 1.3 = Tons

violation of any state or federal law by a person with respect to and directly related to the transaction of business with
any publiC entity or with an agency or political subdivision of any other state or with the United States, including, but

conspiracy, or material misrepresentation.
11.3. I understand that "convicted" or "conviction" as defined in Para. 287.133(1) (b), Florida Statutes, means a
finding of guitt or a conviction of a public entity crime, with or without an adjudication of guilt, in any federal or state
