EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to award Contract #11 -5673, "Disaster Debris Removal and Disposal
Services," to three firms, and approve AshBritt Environmental Services, Inc., as the initial debris
removal contractor in operational readiness for the 2011 Hurricane Season. The firms provide
post- disaster equipment and human resources for the collection, removal and disposal of disaster
generated debris, which will ensure prompt, timely and efficient restoration of essential services.
OBJECTIVE: Award Contract #11 -5673, "Disaster Debris Removal and Disposal Services,"
to three firms, AshBritt Environmental Services, Inc.; Crowder -Gulf Joint Venture, Inc.; Tag
Grinding Services, Inc.; and, approve AshBritt Environmental Services, Inc., as the initial debris
removal contractor in operational readiness for the 2011 Hurricane Season.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Public Utilities Division's Solid Waste Management Department is
responsible for planning, coordinating, and removing debris located in the right -of -ways and
residential roadways throughout Collier County following a natural or man -made disaster.
Natural and man -made disasters, including hurricanes and terrorist attacks, have the potential of
generating massive quantities of debris, as demonstrated during the 2004 and 2005 hurricane
seasons. Debris generated by comparable storms or other disasters could exceed the County's
ability to promptly and efficiently remove the large quantities of materials blocking critical
roadways and access to essential services, including hospitals, water and sewer facilities, and law
enforcement centers.
The current debris removal and disposal contract, No. 05- 3661(Awarded June 14, 2005, Agenda
Item 16.C.7), expires on June 13, 2011. Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued and publicly
advertised on March 16, 2011. Notices were sent to 550 firms with 44 requesting full proposal
packages. A non - mandatory pre - proposal meeting was held in the Purchasing Department on
April 1, 2011; 13 responses were received by the due date of April 12, 2011. The Selection
Committee met May 5, 2011, and after review and discussion ranked all 13 proposals. The
following three firins were recommended for contract negotiations and subsequent award, in the
following order:
1. AshBritt Environmental Services, Inc.
2. Crowder -Gulf Joint Venture, Inc.
3. Tag Grinding Services, Inc.
The recommended firms will be under an "on call at no cost" contract with the County for a
single two -year period, with the option for both the County and the firms to extend the contracts
for two additional one -year periods. When required by the County, the firms will be tasked with
specific assignments by purchase order(s) that will describe in detail the work to be done, and the
associated compensation. Rates are set in compliance with Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) guidelines to optimize financial recovery in the event of a declared emergency.
In their proposals, the recommended firms provided unit costs for both equipment and human
resources, and identified and delineated their equipment, human resources, and related facilities
that will be available to assist the County in collection and disposal of disaster - generated debris.
Packet Page -1382-
5/24/2011 Item 16.C.6.
If required by the County, the recommended firms will also be available 72 -hours prior to
landfall and/or impact of hurricanes and other predictable natural events to position equipment
and human resources in strategic locations for rapid post disaster response.
The costs associated with the utilization of this contract may be reimbursed by the state and
federal emergency funds in accordance with the most current reimbursement guidelines;
therefore, under the provisions of the Local Vendor Preference Purchasing Policy, these
contracts are not required to provide local vendor preference. The RFP required the proposers to
provide their voluntary compliance by including sources of their labor force. Additionally, the
County recommended the utilization of local firms whenever possible. The firms acknowledged
in their proposals that they will hire local vendors to assist with the monitoring activities
whenever applicable.
For the 2011 Hurricane Season, staff recommends using the top ranked firm, AshBritt
Environmental Services, Inc. as the initial debris removal contractor. The benefits of selecting a
debris management contractor prior to hurricane season include
• Having the pre - selected contractor on -call and on- contract with Collier County to
provide effective disaster recovery services will accelerate post -storm response time to
debris cleanup.
• Allow for pre - hurricane season training with staff from Collier County and the cities of
Naples, Everglades City, and Marco Island to ensure continuity and a clear understanding
of clean -up activities providing for a cohesive network.
• Utilizing tried and tested high performing contractors that specialize in debris recovery
services will ensure the most efficient debris removal practices for Collier County.
• A debris management contractor with recent and successful experience and an
established geographical understanding of Collier County, post Hurricane Wilma and
Tropical Storm Fay.
• A debris management contractor that worked effectively with FEMA representatives in
an effort to operate within the FEMA guidelines to optimize reimbursement eligibility
after Hurricane Wilma and Tropical Storm Fay.
• Additionally, the Solid Waste Management Department, in cooperation with its
contractors on bid, proactively participated in and gained FEMA and State PAC (Public
Assistance Coordinator) approval of the Collier County Debris Removal Plans.
FISCAL IMPACT: Fiscal impact will be to appropriate operating funds that are relevant to the
activities that take place. The extent of this financial impact is dependent on the number and
severity of the event. Events declared as local disasters, state disasters, and disasters by
presidential decree are eligible for reimbursement by the federal government and the state
emergency fund. Accurate documentation of the quantities and types of materials removed and
disposed of, is critical to maximize the amount of federal and state reimbursement.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney's Office,
requires majority vote, and is legally sufficient for Board action. - CMG
Packet Page -1383-
5/24/2011 Item 16.C.6.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: These contracts and the activities anticipated to be
tasked under them will have no impact on the County's Growth Management Plan.
RECOMMENDATIONS: To award Contract #11 -5673, "Disaster Debris Removal and
Disposal Services," to three firms, and approve AshBritt Environmental Services, Inc., as the
initial debris removal contractor in operational readiness for the 2011 Hurricane Season, and
authorize the Chairman to execute the contracts.
