CAPABILITIES &
QUALIFICATIONS
❖ RESOURCES.
Ceres Environmental is a licensed Florida,
Louisiana and Virginia general contractor and a
government contracting firm that has been in
business since 1977 and has been awarded
contracts totaling over $675 million in disaster
recovery work during the past eight years.
Ceres also provides demolition, construction and
environmental services for a variety of
governmental agencies. Ceres has been
awarded and successfully performed contracts
in nearly every State of the Union. Our
geographic areas of operations have ranged
from Greenland to Puerto Rico and Hawaii to
Ascension Island.
Our mission is to satisfy our customers while
performing specialty heavy construction tasks
for governmental units while meeting high
standards of ethics, safety and honesty. We
take pride in doing excellent work, and we are
eager to fill a specialty role for our client
governmental agencies when they encounter a
situation outside their normal scope of
operations. We have filled those types of roles
for 29 years and have never defaulted on a
contract while generating a long list of
customers who commend Ceres, one of whom
stated that Ceres was "perhaps the finest
contractor I have worked with...." (see past
performance section).
Ceres has performed very well for a multitude of
clients with disaster response services following
hurricanes, tornadoes, ice storms and other
disasters and we would welcome the opportunity
to work for any government agency.
Ceres has offices in Bonifay, FL; LaPlace, LA;
Houston, TX; Perris, CA; Lajas, PR; Brooklyn
Park, MN; and a satellite office in Fort Pierce,
FL.
The core competencies Ceres commits to the
performance of our contracts include:
Management
Finances and Accounting
Equipment
Subcontractors
Experience
+ Management
All three company officers at Ceres have
extensive individual emergency response
experience of 29, 19 and 23 years. Ceres' has a
professional staff of over thirty individuals
including those holding degrees in: Business
Administration, Civil Engineering, Forestry,
Geology, Science and Accounting. As part of
the Company's dedication to quality and safety,
over half of Ceres' management staff are U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers certified in
Construction Quality, are Red Cross certified in
first aid and have completed OSHA's 40 hour
safety training course.
Ceres' management has worked extensively on
FEMA -reimbursed contracts, which represent
the majority of Ceres' revenues over the past 15
years. Throughout Ceres' history. no client has
been denied FEMA reimbursement for work
Ceres has performed.
Ceres' management has demonstrated its ability
to respond to large scale events. In response to
Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers (USACE) awarded Ceres a $500
million contract for disaster response including
the tasks of: loading, hauling, reducing and
disposing of debris and white goods; trimming
and removal of hazardous trees; demolition of
storm damaged buildings; collection of
household garbage; environmental sampling
and monitoring of disposal sites and life support
services. Geographically, this contract covered
an area encompassing 12 Louisiana Parishes
and the operation of 54 reduction / disposal
sites. Ceres' management personnel
coordinated a record setting mobilization
response and hauled over 50,000 cubic yards of
debris on its first day (in Jefferson Parish, LA).
The Targe scale quantities successfully
completed under this contract include: a
maximum production exceeding 200,000 cubic
yards per day; project wide hauling and
disposing of over 10 million cubic yards of debris
and over 195,000 units of white goods; and
CERES ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC.
Company Qualifications 2006
trimming or removing of over 165,000 hazardous
trees.
Ceres' management has demonstrated its ability
to respond to multiple events. Following
Hurricane Katrina, Rita and Wilma in 2005,
Ceres performed emergency response contracts
in addition to the large scale USACE contract
described above, these other contracts
performed simultaneously include: Hurricane
Katrina debris removal for the City of Biloxi, MS;
Hurricane Wilma debris removal for the City of
Palm Beach Gardens, FL; Hurricane Katrina
debris removal for the Parish of Terrebonne, LA
and the installation of over 20,000 temporary
roofs on private residences in two states under
two separate contracts with the USACE. During
this same period, Ceres maintained its schedule
on its non -disaster construction and
environmental work for the USDA, USACE and
others in states such as CA, TX, AR, MN and
PR.
During the 2004 Florida Hurricane season,
Ceres received high evaluations from the Corps
of Engineers and Palm Beach County for its
recovery work. Here, Ceres' management staff
demonstrated its ability, by simultaneously
managing operations in nineteen Florida
counties for its $50+ million work in temporary
roof repairs known as "Operation Blue Roof'
while concurrently hauling and reducing over
600,000 cubic yards of storm debris.
Ceres' management has demonstrated its
commitment to superior performance and
customer satisfaction. During the Hurricane
season of 2005, Ceres had pre -placed contracts
with Terrebonne Parish, LA and Palm Beach
Gardens, FL that became activated due to
Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma, respectively. In
both cases, Ceres had management staff on the
ground before the Hurricanes made landfall. The
Palm Beach Garden contract was the final
contract to be activated during the 2005 season
(Hurricane Wilma); it is note worthy, that with
Ceres already fully mobilized and in the midst
moving millions of cubic yards of debris and
installing thousands of temporary roofs from
previous Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, that the
City still received such a high level of service
they saw fit to evaluate Ceres' performance as
"Exceptional" (see references).
Ceres' management has demonstrated a high
level of capability and adaptability during its
performance on Hurricane Georges recovery
work for the Corps of Engineers in Puerto Rico.
Here, Ceres successfully mobilized from the
United States, operated seventeen temporary
reduction sites over an area of 3000 square
miles across the island of Puerto Rico and
reduced, processed and sorted over 2.3 million
cubic yards debris while simultaneously hauling
and disposing of 1 million cubic yards of debris
(& processed material), and installing
approximately 3,000 temporary roof repairs. This
project was made more difficult by the fact that
this was Ceres' first project in an unfamiliar
region where English was not the native
language; and more significantly, the island had
a lack of qualified Subcontractors. Ceres
management successfully performed this project
by hiring and directly managing over 1400 local
employees in lieu of significant subcontracting.
This project earned a high customer evaluation.
❖ Finances and Accounting
Ceres has the ability to provide performance and
payments bonds from a treasury listed carrier in
amounts in excess of $300 million dollars per
single project. During the 2005 storm season,
Ceres provided bonds for three concurrent
Corps of Engineers hurricane response projects
with contract award amounts of $500 million,
$60 million and $50 million. Ceres has over $60
million dollars in liquid working capital with
additional credit lines available as needed. In the
past, Ceres has provided up to $30 million
dollars in financing for individual emergency
response projects. Ceres is very strong
financially and will not be hampered by lack of
financial resources.
❖ Equipment
Ceres owns over 320 pieces its own disaster
response equipment with substantially more
additional equipment available through our
subcontractors. In our 2005 response for the
USACE on Hurricane Katrina, Ceres provided
over 5,390 trucks and supporting loading
equipment for a 12 parish region in Louisiana;
some of this equipment is listed in this
proposal's appendix as space permits. Ceres -
owned equipment augments our subcontractors
and provides for additional flexibility, direct
management control and higher levels of
customer responsiveness and satisfaction.
Because of our extensive company-owned fleet,
Ceres can send equipment and personnel to
respond to a disaster regardless of the
CERES ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC.
Company Qualifications 2006
availability of subcontractors. On a 2002 storm
debris project for Kansas City Missouri, Ceres
provided over 500 pieces of equipment for a
project requiring completion of the first pass
within 16 days of contract award; the first pass
required hauling of over 500,000 cubic yards.
Ceres successfully met the 16 day first pass
time requirement and the Kansas City
Emergency Manager in charge, won an award
for his outstanding disaster response
performance.
Ceres owns all the life support equipment
needed for supporting its own personnel
including: mobile living quarters, food supply,
large potable water supply tanks and large
septic storage systems. These systems save
valuable management time in responding to
higher category storms. Ceres also has
available through Subcontractors, life support
systems for project wide and Government
personnel.
Ceres owns four self contained office trailers
including satellite internet connections and
satellite phones as well as additional loaner
satellite cell phones for our customers'
management teams.
For our Jefferson Parish' LA Hurricane Katrina
response, Ceres provided total life support for
over 400 people and subcontractor fueling
services for enough equipment to move 60,000
of debris per day.
❖ Subcontractors
Ceres has over 800 qualified subcontractors in its
data base, including local vendors who will be
given first opportunity to participate in this
contract, and several preferred vendors with
outstanding debris performance. These
companies have over 5,000 pieces of debris
removal equipment. Additionally, over 4000 more
subcontractors have expressed interest in Ceres.
The database has been compiled over the better
part of two decades and over one hundred and
fifty projects. Each subcontractor in Ceres'
database is evaluated on cost, past performance,
equipment and personnel availability, mobilization
timeframes, rework, dispute resolution, level of
insurance, and business certification status. In
our 2005 response for the USACE on Hurricane
Katrina, Ceres utilized over 200 subcontractors
with a local disaster area participation of 53.7%. ,
❖ Experience
Ceres has performed disaster recovery work on
over sixty FEMA -reimbursed contracts in excess
of $675 million in value, and has been selected
because of its experience by the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers for a pre -event emergency
response contract in the Virgin Islands. Ceres
has frequently been selected through an RFP
process for large demolition projects contracted
by the U.S. Air Force, Navy and Army.
Hazardous materials that were often
encountered in these projects include: Asbestos,
PCB's, Mercury, Lead, Methyl Chloride, Organic
Solvents, Petroleum contamination and RDX.
Ceres has installed air stripping remediation
wells, bio -remediation systems and used soil
stabilization techniques to address some of the
hazardous substance remediation issues.
CERES ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC.
Company Qualifications 2006
:• QUALITIES AND ATTRIBUTES
The competencies listed above provide Ceres
with a decided advantage in the industry --the
ability to perform regardless of the size or scope
of the event. Our clients have benefited from
our unique abilities.
Reliability
Responsiveness
Respected
Capable
Safe
FEMA Knowledgeable
Client Satisfaction — Oriented
❖ Reliability
Ceres was selected in 1997 by the United States
Air Force for a critical demolition project at Thule
Air Base, Greenland, located 700 miles from the
North Pole. An emergency mobilization was
required that included air transportation of a
70,000 pound piece of owned specialized
demolition equipment. The situation in
Greenland was unusual and dangerous in that it
required the demolition of a very large severely
damaged structure that was adjacent to
occupied buildings and a critical Northern
Hemisphere Early Warning Airspace monitoring
station. An additional complication was the late
time of year (October), danger of severe storms
with winds exiting off the Greenland glacier in
speeds up to 200 mph, limited daylight and
severe cold. The structure was safely
demolished, without incident or damage to the
adjacent facilities. Ceres was given an
outstanding rating for its performance.
❖ Responsiveness
Over time, Ceres has developed and refined its
ability for rapid response mobilizations. Our
'Quick to the Task' abilities will provide you with
the required response. In Kansas City, MO over
200 trucks were hauling within 72 hours of
contract award; in Florida's operation blue roof,
Ceres had over 180 roofers installing temporary
roofs within 72 hours of contract award, in
Jefferson Parish, LA Ceres hauled over 50,000
cubic yards on the first day of operation. In
1993, during Hurricane Andrew recovery
operations, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
tasked Ceres to provide 25 new chippers, along
with 25 trucks and associated crews within 48
hours of contract award. Ceres procured and
mobilized the equipment from a Michigan
manufacturer, staffed the project with over 100
personnel, and met the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers 48 hour deadline. The Client's
performance requirements were met or
exceeded throughout the contract, and
subsequently all the contract extension options
available were utilized.
Ceres mobilizes very quickly. We can meet all
requirements of debris management requests
for proposal, and from our offices in Bonifay,
Florida, LaPlace, Louisiana and Houston, Texas,
we can have Disaster Recovery Team
representation available in a matter of hours.
We expect our local "teaming partners" to have
equipment onsite in less than twelve hours, and
our equipment from our Bonifay, FL
maintenance site can be on your project within
24 hours.
❖ Respected
National magazines, including Biocvcle and
Wood Waste Recycling, have featured Ceres'
urban wood waste recycling efforts and
emergency debris management services. Ceres
was also the honored recipient of the Minnesota
Governor's Certificate of Commendation in 1995
for their innovation in the tree recycling industry.
4. Capable
Ceres management is staffed by professionally
trained individuals with over 150 collective years
of experience in disaster recovery management.
Ceres provides regular on going training for
field employees as well as our professional staff.
'CERES ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC.
Company Qualifications 2006
To provide superior job performance, Ceres'
superintendents carry the following certifications
and formal training: USACE certification for
Quality Control, 30 -hour Construction Safety
accreditation, Hazwoper 40 hour training; and
selected Superintendents have training in
Asbestos and Lead abatement. Ceres also
provides outside disaster response training for
management through FEMA sponsored courses.
Ceres' Corporate standard operating
procedures relating to disaster response work
are detailed and provide the basis for employee
training. These SOP's have been developed
over the last 15 years and include: general
health and safety in construction, safety hazards
and controls for debris collection and removal
from public and private property; demolition, tree
pruning and felling, household hazardous waste
collection and disposal, e -waste collection and
disposal, biohazards and explosives, asbestos
and lead, and traffic control and flagging
procedures. Certifications of employee training
of these SOP's are noted by affixing a decal to
the individual's personal hard hat.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers when it
selected Ceres as an Advance Contract Initiative
Disaster Debris Management Contractor,
evaluated numerous offerors on their project
management capabilities and experience.
❖ Safe
Safety first. We take the health and safety of
everyone in the disaster zone as a personal
concern. Our employees are there with you and
your citizens, and we make special care to
minimize the risk of injury, not only to our
workers, but also to citizens in the field of
operations. Melissa McIntyre is Ceres' full time
Health and Safety Officer, her substantial
credentials can be seen with her resume
included in this proposal. Ms. McIntyre oversees
Ceres' field Safety Officers who are experienced
in various aspects of safety compliance relative
to construction activities, industrial hygiene, and
traffic safety, they are provided with training in
project -specific requirements and responsible for
training of crews, inspections, enforcement, and
field corrective actions. Also assist with accident
investigation and corrective measures. Safety
Officers possess a variety of qualifications
including OSHA 10 and 30 -hour training
certifications, First Aid and CPR, and Hazwoper
40 -hour certifications. All of Ceres' full time field
employees have CPR/ First Aid / AED training.
During all of Ceres' 2004 disaster recovery
operations across nineteen Florida counties,
with over 1,000 workers in the field, no lost time
injuries occurred on any of our projects.
During all of Ceres' 2005 temporary roofing
operations with over 20,000 roofs installed there
were no lost time injuries.
During the USACE Hurricane Katrina response
operations, Ceres had a OSHA reportable injury
rate of 2.49 (6.4 industry average), and a lost
time injury rate of 1.13 ( 3.4 industry average),
on over 2.65 million man hours worked.
❖ FEMA Knowledgeable
Since 1992, all of our disaster recovery
contracts have depended on FEMA for funding.
Guidance and support is crucial throughout the
recovery process especially due to the
increasingly more common FEMA post -disaster
reimbursement audit. A professional debris
management staff with a long tenure, and
specialized training in FEMA debris
management, documentation, quality control
and reimbursement allow clients to focus and
concentrate their resources on the most
pressing issues.
Ceres has assisted numerous clients during the
post -disaster reimbursement application
process, and no client has been denied FEMA
reimbursement for work Ceres has performed.
Recently, in a post -disaster audit, FEMA had
requested truck certification documentation in
order to verify reimbursements received by a
client concerning over 450 individual trucks that
hauled over 16,000 loads of debris. A post—
disaster reimbursement staff, all of which were
personally involved in the debris management
project two years earlier, provided assistance.
Truckload certification and monitoring
documentation were assembled and provided to
the client. The FEMA funding reimbursement
was then fully obligated. Fundamental to pre -
event debris management planning is
documentation control in support of
reimbursement administration and attention to
detail, coordination, and quality control are key.
❖ Client Satisfaction -Oriented
Ceres is in business to serve governmental
agencies. We recognize that providing
customer satisfaction is critical to our success.
The long list of satisfied customers and the
commendation letters and/or evaluations quoted
below speak for themselves.

waste. Mr. McIntyre researched possible product end markets, acquired the necessary capital assets, hired and
trained a staff and entered the market by opening up a recycling site in Maple Grove MN. Mr. McIntyre was a
leading pioneer in this industry. By 1995, the Maple Grove site had become a huge success and received the
Minnesota Governors Certificate of Commendation; had feature articles written about the site in leading
industry publications such as Bio -Cycle magazine and had site photographs appear on magazine covers. Ceres
Environmental's staff has received numerous invitations to speak at national conventions.
➢ In 1994, Mr. McIntyre was project manager for Ceres Environmental's 70 ton per day municipal solid waste
and sewage sludge composting facility in St. Paul, MN. This composting facility was the only one in the state to
meet Class 1 unrestricted end use standards for 100% of its end product.
D. In 1992 Hurricane Andrew struck Florida and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers awarded contracts to Ceres
Environmental for the processing of several hundred thousand cubic yards of wood waste. One of the contracts
required work to start on an emergency basis in 48 hours from notice of award. For this contract, Mr. McIntyre
personally directed the acquisition of 25 chippers from Michigan, hired 120 employees and mobilized from
Minnesota to Florida all within the required 48-hour period. The Corps of Engineers was so satisfied with Ceres
performance that they exercised all the contract options for additional work.
• In 1998 Hurricane George struck Puerto Rico and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers hired the Gaya/ Ceres joint
venture, which later became Ceres Caribe Inc., to perform roofing, debris hauling and debris reduction. Mr.
McIntyre was the project manager for these contracts, which totaled over 36 million dollars in revenue and
required 1400 employees. Over 2 million cubic yards of hurricane debris was recycled and kept out of the local
landfills under the debris reduction contract. Gaya / Ceres safety record on these contracts was outstanding.
D In 2004, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers hired Ceres Environmental to provide temporary roofs on buildings
damaged by Hurricane Charlie and Hurricane Frances. Mr. McIntyre was manager for this project in which
18,000 temporary residential roofs were installed in just four months. In a testament to management
effectiveness, this project had only one minor lost time injury and the remarkably small number of 32 resident
complaints out the total 18,000 roofs installed.
' Mr. McIntyre was recently project manager for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Puerto Rican Cerrillos
Recreational Area project in the amount of $9.5 million. This project included: construction of buildings, roads,
fountains, multipurpose fields and related park appurtenances; this project has been noted for its high quality
construction.
D Other note worthy nroiects that Mr. McIntyre has provided executive supervision on during the last 5 years:
The emergency demolition of 315 tornado damaged residential homes in 55 days.
Hydraulic dredging on the Mississippi River, COE, $1,625,413.62

CERES ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC.
June 2006
Operational Plan
o A Fire Prevention Plan that will follow the
provisions of the National Fire Prevention Code
and in particular, codes that specifically address
woodchip storage. All equipment will have fire
extinguishers that meet NFPA No. 10A-1970.
o The Production Plan will designate how
machinery will be utilized on site and will
describe site management/operations and
anticipated production rates. Each load
received at the site shall be inspected prior to
off-loading to determine load size and the
presence and type of any contaminants.
Contaminated loads shall be segregated for
sorting and appropriate processing or disposal.
vii. TDSR Site Construction
Each designated Debris Site Manager will
commence construction of their respective TDSR
sites within 24 hours of notification six (6) debris
site management operators and laborers, under the
direction of the debris site manager, will construct
storm water runoff protection, prefabricated
inspection towers, access and egress roads,
construction entrances and exits, debris staging
areas, and hazardous waste containment areas.
TDSR Site's will be fully operational within 48-72
hours The Project Logistics Manager is responsible
for ensuring gravel for access roads and pads,
prefabricated inspection tower kits, erosion control
materials such as silt fence, straw bales, coir fiber,
and geo-membrane liners for hazardous waste
containment areas are available on site within 24
hours notification. Additionally, portable truck
scales may also be required at the direction of the
Client. These materials with the exception of road
base material are stored at one of our two offices in
Florida.
II. DEBRIS MANAGEMENT
Debris management consists of debris collection,
transportation, inspection, processing, and final
disposition. The following sections detail Ceres'
standard debris management procedures.
Ceres will conduct all work in such a manner as to
avoid interference with disaster response and
recovery activities of federal, state, and local
governments, agencies and public utilities.
A. Debris Collection
For each debris management project, one or more
crews are formed for the collection of debris.
Dependent on location of TDSR Sites, Debris
Confidential, contains trade secrets
Density, and Crew Make-up, each hauling unit within
a crew is capable of collecting a minimum of 1,200
cubic yards of debris per week under typical
conditions. Upon mobilization, Ceres will review with
the client the number and anticipated production rates
of crews to ensure project completion within the
specified time period and that sufficient time is
provided to residents to move their storm materials to
the rights of way, as applicable. Crew and overall
debris collection production will be monitored on a
daily basis. The Project Manager, as need arises, will
alter crew composition and overall number of crews.
Self Loaders may comprise their own crew or work in
conjunction with dump trucks. Ceres owns Eight
Self Loaders (knuckle booms) and has access to
200 additional subcontractor units. Each crew is
provided with the following equipment and
personnel:
o Three (3) dump trucks (30 to 50 cubic yards).
Additional/Large capacity trucks may be added
for longer hauls.
o One (1) Knuckle -boom Loader or one 4cy
wheel loader with grapple
o One (1) Bobcat with grapple
o Two (2) laborers with chain saws & rakes
o Two (2) flag persons
o One (1) Foreman with cell phone and pickup
truck (1 -foreman/ 3 -crews)
o GPS Tracking and Navigation Aids
i. Emergency Road Clearing -Cutting and
Clearing Public Right of Way
It is anticipated that emergency road clearing will be
required for this project. Separate crews will be
allocated for this purpose and will be available 24
hours. Crews will perform 12 hour shifts. In the
event of a Client declared emergency, and notice is
given to Ceres, the following procedures would be
utilized and Ceres fully operational within 24 hours.
A Ceres disaster emergency road clearing
debris removal crew would be mobilized. This
typically consists of:
Clearing Crew
O one (1) Bucket Truck with and experienced
operator or climber;
o two (2) laborers/sawyers functioning as ground
personnel and traffic control, and clean-up;
O one (1) LGP ,small articulated wheeled loader
(Swinger 220 or equal) with grapple and
sweeping attachments;
The Bucket Truck operator/climber shall also serve
as the crew leader/supervisor. Ceres has two (2)

contractor licenses.
Loading and Hauling Crew
o one (1) front-end loader 4/1 bucket (or
equivalent) with an experienced and qualified
operator;
o up to four (4) transport trucks 30 cy or more
with operator(s);
Under the direction of the Client, Ceres' crews will
work independently or with a Client crew. However,
Ceres' crews shall be responsible for all aspects of
their own work. Ground personnel will be supplied
with sufficient types and quantities of tools and
materials to effectively push the debris to the
roadside to clear routes for emergency traffic. In the
event debris cannot be pushed aside, it will be
loaded in trucks and transported to nearby off-street
locations for temporary dumping, to be picked up
later by the normal debris clearing crews. Upon
completion of each assignment, Ceres' crews will
contact the Client dispatcher to obtain authorization
to proceed to the next assignment.
ii. Removal and Disposal of Hangers and
Leaners
Under the supervision of the Client, the Contractor
will remove, cut, load, haul and dispose of all trees
with a 30 -degree or more lean. Ceres' tree
trimming practices will adhere to the National
Arborists Association and Dr. Shigo's
recommended procedures. Ceres has 2 (Two)
International Society of Arboricultural (ISA) Certified
Arborists on Staff.
Trimming and Leaner Removal Services will
include:
o trimming of broken or hanging branches within
the right of way (2" or larger in diameter);
o removal of trees with a 30 -degree or more lean;
o clean up of all debris;
o raking of material to ensure each area is left in
a neat & clean appearance; and,
o transporting debris to the appropriate debris
reduction site (TDSRS) for debris reduction and
subsequent disposal.
iii. Post -Clearing Collection
Crews will be dispatched according to client
priorities and -the planned removal' schedule
adopted in coordination with the client. Each
assigned debris removal crew, at the direction of
the Ceres field supervisor, will service each road or

will consist of :
o . 1-knuckleboom or self -loader
o 3- Laborers (One (1) sawyer and Two Flagmen)
Equipment with a hauling area less than 18
(Eighteen) CY will not be permitted unless
authorized by the Client.
A foreman with a cell phone will supervise every
two or three crews. Within each crew, two of the
laborers will be trained as flag persons to be
stationed at each end of the work zone. The
remaining two laborers in the crew will perform
cleanup duties, with one individual trained and
equipped to operate a chain saw when necessary.
Work zones will move as the debris is cleaned up
from the streets and boulevards. Occasionally the
work zone may be located on or near a heavily
traveled roadway which will require additional flag
persons, additional signage and/ or assistance from
the local law enforcement agencies. The crew
foreman will monitor the work zone and all other
aspects of crew operation.
iv. Debris Loading
Prior to initial use, authorized Ceres personnel, and
contract representatives as required, will inspect
hauling trucks. Only pre -approved trucks will be
received at the TDSRS. Approval shall include
documentation of truck identification and insurance,
safety requirements, and measured cubic yardage
capacity. A unique approval number shall be
CERES ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC.
June 2006
Operational Plan
assigned to the truck and posted on the truck along
with measured capacity. All units hauling debris are
required to be "measured in" prior to
commencement of work.
The hauling unit/truck/ trailer certification procedure
is mandatory and will be administered by quality
control representatives of Ceres and the Client or
the Client's designated authority(s).
A Truck Certification Log Sheet will be created for
each hauling unit/truck/trailer. Unit specific
information along with Year, Make, Address,
Photograph, Model, License Plate information,
Driver Name and signatures will be recorded on the
log. At this time a unique identifier will be assigned
to the unit. The identifier will consist of both Letters
and Numbers. Each Subcontractor will be assigned
a Letter Code unique to the Subcontractor. The
number portion of the identifier will be sequential
(The first truck measured is 100; the second truck
measured is 101; the third truck measured is 102;
and so forth). A given number will not be assigned
to more than one hauling unit (there is only one
101, 102, 103, etc....). Combining the
subcontractor identifier with the number would
result in the unique identification for each unit.
ACE100, for "Ace Trucking Company"; TTS101 for
"Toms Tree Service". Using both a lettering and
numbering system for the Truck Identification will
minimize any potential confusion by having both the
volume (CY) and truck number on the same label.
The truck identification always has letters in
front of the numbers. Truck Certification Logs
will be maintained by Quality Control Staff. The log
shall be maintained and available to TDSRS
inspection personnel regarding truck approvals,
approval number, capacity and other pertinent
information.
Upon certification, the identification and volume
information is written (with permanent marker) on
the label. Ceres uses labels pre-printed with our
name and blanks for identification number and
volume. The label is then immediately affixed to a
standard, visible location on both sides of the
truck/trailer/hauling unit from which it can not be
removed without destroying the label. All
equipment is subject to inspection by the Client.
Debris prepared by collection crews will be loaded
onto trucks primarily with the use of the
knuckleboom loader. The knuckleboom loader will
be supported by a wheel loader to push the debris
within reach of the knuckleboom loader.
Confidential, contains trade secrets
The wheel loader will also be used to load material
into trucks that may not be easily handled by the
knuckleboom, such as chunk wood, and to
occasionally back drag material for forwarding to
the knuckleboom. The knuckleboom may also be
used to sort different types of material such as
building debris or vegetative debris, so that these
materials can be loaded and disposed of
separately.
The front-end loaders will consolidate the material
staged on the boulevards of both sides of the street
into one staging area on one side of the street. If
the crew is working in a high traffic area then this
method will not be incorporated; rather, the loading
will be done from both sides of the street without
first consolidating the staged piles. When the
knuckleboom loader encounters material difficult to
handle, such as chunk wood, the Front-end loader
will assist in performing the loading
Two laborers will be trained for the use of chain
saws that will assist the knuckleboom loader. They
will rake and clean up the area of the pile and when
oversized material is encountered they will utilize
chainsaws for size reduction. The laborers will also
assist the truck operators in staging to the
knuckleboom loader, notifying when loading is
completed, and for clearing obstructions to and
from the loading area.
Trucks will be placed in single file to the rear of the
knuckleboom loader. The knuckleboom loader will
load the staged piles, and a bobcat or front-end
loader will work ahead of the knuckleboom to limit
the amount of movements of the loader during the
course of the day. For safety purposes, no
personnel will be permitted to stand behind or on
either side of a given truck as it is being loaded.
The Field Supervisor will determine the safe zone
from which the driver may observe loading
procedures.
Additional trucks staged for loading will be stationed
to the side of the roadway to which they are being
loaded so they will not obstruct incoming traffic to
the work perimeter.
Two FLDOT Certified flagmen will be placed on
each end of the work perimeter to control the flow of
traffic. Work will be coordinated with the client in
areas with high traffic volume. If debris is forwarded
across a roadway, flagmen will obstruct all traffic.
Flagmen will be equipped with appropriate safety
equipment including vests, signs, and two-way
radio headsets for communication with each other.

of the project. Records will include date and time of
dispatch, crew and unit identifier, and status of
assigned section (In Progress, Completed,...).
Typically one contractor will be assigned to a given
section. Sections may be comprised of individual
developments or combinations thereof. Accurate
and Thorough Dispatch Logs enable the
identification of any potential issues and the
responsible party.
Prior to the assignment of sections to crews, each
section/subdivision will be inspected by Ceres Field
Personnel to ascertain the optimal crew
configuration/type (Self Loader, Wheeled Loader
with Dump Trucks, High Capacity Trailers, etc.....).

determination by the County that they represent an
imminent and significant threat to public health and
safety.
The carcasses shall be removed to the TDSRS
and/or a final disposition site approved by the
County.
xi. Freon Recovery
Ceres shall remove Freon -containing white goods
from the ROW and haul them to a TDSRS where
they will be segregated. A trained and licensed
worker will then extract any Freon remaining in the
white goods, and properly handle the disposition of
the Freon. The white goods following Freon
removal then are scrap metal and can be handled
accordingly.
xii. Roll -off Hauling
Two separate roll -off related services might be
requested by the Client. The services may require
ten (10) and seven (7) 40 CY roll -offs. The roll -off
service shall utilize sufficient trucks to insure roll -
offs are filled repeatedly with minimum wait time.
Confidential, contains trade secrets
B. Disposal - TDSR Sites
It is understood that Ceres may utilize an existing
permitted Yard Trash facility and FDEP Construction
and Demolition facility by means of this contract.
Additional facilities may become available by means
of an Emergency Order. At that time, the Client or
Ceres may designate the location of additional
facilities for temporary storage and processing. The
Central District of the FDEP would be notified and
the required information submitted by Ceres.
Ceres does not currently own a TDSR facility for use
under this contract, however Ceres does have
agreements in place for processing and disposal of
yard trash and construction and demolition debris.
These agreements allow for Ceres to increase
capacity by supplementing staff, field operations and
equipment.
Additional facilities may become available by means
of an Emergency Order. At that time, Ceres shall
secure leasing agreements and permitting for
additional TDRS facilities. The FL DEP would be
notified and the required information submitted by
Ceres. The use of additional sites under an
Emergency Order generally requires Client
(Regulated Entity) Notification and a FL DEP site
inspection.
Ceres will provide sufficient equipment and
personnel to process, by burning (if allowable) or
grinding, a minimum of 210 cubic yards of debris
per hour per crew. Each TDSRS would include the
following equipment:
o Two (2) Tub Grinders, Diamond Z 1463, and/or
Air Curtain
o Two (2) Backhoes with grapples
o Two (2) Wheel Loaders with rakes
o One (1) Wheel Loader with a light materials
bucket for loading mulch
o One (1) Maintenance Truck
o One (1) Water Truck
o One (1) Road Grader (optional)
o One (1) Inspection Tower
o One (1) Hazardous Materials Containment Area
o One (1) Foreman with cell phone
o Four (4) walking floor trucks (120 CY) for
hauling mulch
CERES ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC.
June 2006
Operational Plan
o Additional Equipment as determined by the
Contract and Site Manager
One operator will be assigned site maintenance
duties and will operate the Motor grader, Water
truck and Low -bed trailer. This employee's primary
duty is to ensure efficient use of the roads by the
dump trucks, and maintain dust and fire control.
The Loader with blade will have intermittent general
site maintenance duties and will keep areas around
the bum pits, ash storage and grinding areas clean.
For each TDSRS, a hazardous materials
containment area will be constructed by Ceres and
will measure approximately 30' by 30'. Typically the
perimeter will be lined with hay bales and staked in
place. The area is lined with heavy gauge plastic
(10 MIL or greater) to provide a waterproof barrier.
A 10 MIL or greater plastic cover is used to cover
the area to prevent rain from entering the
containment. Site run-off is redirected from the
containment area by site grading. Hazardous
materials, if any, that are encountered during clean
up operations shall be staged in this area and shall
be properly disposed of in a timely manner.
i. Inspection
These sites will become the point of inspection and
load volume estimation by the inspection tower
attendants.
Ceres will construct inspection tower(s) in accordance
with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers document
DACW01-98-R-0077 or equivalent. Inspection towers
are generally constructed of pressure treated lumber.
The tower shall be 10 feet above the existing ground
elevation, with a wooden handrail and steps to
provide access. The floor area shall be 8' by 8',
constructed of 2' by 8' joists, 16" O.C. with 3A"
plywood supported by four (4) 6" by 6" posts. The
perimeter of the floor area shall be protected by a 4
foot high wall constructed of 2' by 4" studs and 1/2"
plywood. The floor area shall be covered with a
corrugated tin roof. The roof will provide minimum 6'
6" headroom below the support beams. The
inspection tower shall be large enough to adequately
accommodate Ceres, the Client, and any FEMA
personnel simultaneously (a minimum of three
personnel).
Inspection tower attendants will inspect each load to
verify that:
• The truck has been pre -approved and measured,
• The load is eligible
• The FEMA assigned volume percentage
Confidential, contains trade secrets
The attendant shall determine the capacity of the
truck and, estimated load volume (percent capacity),
and evaluate the load for contaminants requiring
segregation. The attendant shall instruct the driver
regarding the appropriate off-load location at the site
and will verify the truck is completely empty following
off-load. The attendant shall prepare a load ticket for
each load delivered to the site.
After inspection, the material will be forwarded to
the tipping area supported by a wheel loader with
rake and laborers. The laborers will inspect the
debris and remove any contaminants.
Contaminants that are hazardous will be handled by
the HTW Specialist, staged in the Hazmat
containment area, and disposed of in accordance
with federal, state and local requirements. Other
contaminants, such as metal, will be segregated
accordingly.
Ceres does have 5 (Part) FEMA -style, preprinted
load tickets that are available for use on this project,
should they meet with the Cities approval. These
load tickets have an original with a five-part carbon
copy of differing colors. Each ticket has a unique
serial number and ample space to record such
information such as: contractor, date, truck number,
load size, driver, type of material, origination,
dumpsite, time, GPS Location, and inspector. Ceres
also has a custom Access database program that
has an appearance similar to the load ticket design;
this greatly speeds up data entry of tickets and
manipulation of the ticket data. Tickets are easily
verified and combined with a truck inspection table
contained in the same database. One (1) data
entry clerk with minimal training can enter 700 load
tickets (the equivalent of about 21,000 CYs) per
day. Access also contains powerful report features
which aid in ticket reconciliation and truck
verification. Data is easily converted between Excel
and Access.
ii. Segregation
Due to the nature of these operations, materials
segregation is frequently required in order to properly
and efficiently process the storm debris. Collection
crews will segregate non-grindable debris, to the
maximum extent possible, during collection and
loading operations. The inspection tower shall,
however, also assume responsibility for the
segregation of loads containing contaminants or non-
grindables. These loads shall be dumped in a
designated area at the TDSRS, and shall be sorted
either manually or mechanically to remove the
contaminants.
CERES ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC.
June 2006
Operational Plan
Metal contaminants shall be segregated and baled
or otherwise processed for recycling. Concrete shall
be segregated and transported to a recycling facility
and may be crushed prior to transport. Glass,
plastic, and other materials shall similarly be
segregated and recycled to the maximum extent
possible. Debris that cannot be processed or
otherwise recycled shall be disposed of at an
approved construction and demolition debris site.
Reduction by Grinding
The wheel loader with rake shall push material
designated for grinding to the tub grinder. Great
care should be taken to keep the debris free of dirt
before processing with a grinder/chipper; this both
maintains the value of the product and reduces the
cost of grinding.
If the mulch produced from grinding is to remain on
site for more than four weeks, the mulch piles shall
then be stacked no higher than twelve feet to
minimize the potential for self -ignition.
Tub grinders will operate with an exclusion zone of
300 feet on the "kick" side of the grinder and 50 feet
on the "non -kick" side. Grinders shall be shut down
in a full tub condition to minimize debris ejection.
The Dust Control plan shall be implemented to
ensure dust from the grinder does not impact the
adjacent properties. Lockout/tagout procedures will
be used on grinders and strictly enforced. All
equipment in the vicinity of the grinders shall be
equipped with fully -enclosed cabs.
iv. Reduction by Burning
The Loader/rake will push clean debris in the
direction of the burn pit, taking great care to keep
the debris free of dirt. Once the debris is piled in the
vicinity of the burn pit area, the backhoe with thumb
will feed the Air Curtain Incinerator in such a
manner as to promote complete combustion. The
backhoe will also set aside for forwarding any
material that would process more efficiently in a
chipper/grinder, such as large diameter logs or
stumps.
The Air Curtain shall be operated at least 100 feet
from any stockpile of debris and at least 1000 feet
from any structure. Prior to removal of ash debris
from the air curtain incinerator pit, the material shall
be wetted. Ash stockpiles shall be at least 100 feet
away from any debris stockpiles. The environment
shall be protected from run-off of ash stockpiles in
accordance with the FL DEP and Division of
Forestry Requirements.
Confidential, contains trade secrets
v. Final Disposition
Segregated, processed non-grindables shall be
recycled to the maximum extent possible. Metals
and concrete shall be baled, crushed, or otherwise
processed for transport to recycling facilities.
Documentation shall be retained regarding total
type and amount of materials recycled and
recycling destination.
Grindable materials shall be processed to generate
mulch. Live bottom trucks loaded with a rollout
bucket -equipped wheel loader will be used to haul
mulch to the final disposal site. Mulch hauling will
be performed simultaneously with grinding. Mulch
will be applied or disposed of at a site(s) approved
by, as appropriate.
The handling of Incinerator Ash Material shall
comply with all Federal, State and local
requirements and the Incinerator Ash Material
Management Plan
C. Work Hours
Collection crews typically will work up to 12 hours
per day, 7 days per week unless otherwise
specified or limited by contractual requirements. For
safety reasons, collection crews will work during
daylight hours. Debris processing sites typically
operate 24 hours per day, 7 days per week if
sufficient lighting is provided during evening hours,
unless restricted by contractual requirements.
D. Traffic Control
As discussed in other sections, Ceres requires and
will provide certified traffic control personnel for debris
collection, transportation, and processing operations.
Competent and qualified personnel will be trained in
traffic control procedures and will be provided
necessary safety equipment and communication
devices. Traffic control personnel will generally be
placed at either end of a work zone in order to
properly control the flow of traffic into and out of the
work zone.
E. Site Restoration
The Site Restoration and Environmental Survey
Plan will ensure that restoration of the site will meet
the owner's requirements and local regulations. In
addition to site cleanup and removal of all debris,
the Restoration Plan will include requirements for
achieving ground cover through topsoil and seeding
specifications. Other requirements may be
mandated by the Erosion Control Plan, such as
maintenance of straw bales, retention ponds, or
erosion control fencing until ground cover is
CERES ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC.
June 2006
Operational Plan
established. An outside independent party may be
employed to conduct a post utilization
environmental survey in order to ensure satisfactory
site conditions. Site closure will be accomplished
within 10 days of receipt of the last load of disaster
related debris.
F. Demobilization
The Operations Manager shall prepare a
demobilization checklist that includes a punch list of
items to be completed by his staff. The Punch List
may include items such as arrangement for future
maintenance of erosion control measures.
Documentation - Administrative
Tickets and Truck Logs are the foundation of the
major expenses on most projects. Tickets may be
in several formats such as dump tickets that record
cubic yardage or "leaners and hanger" tickets that
record units such as tree quantity. Ceres supplies
these 5 -part carbonless ticket books if the customer
wishes. These are critical records that must be
kept accurately. FEMA requires signed truck logs
for every vehicle hauling on the project and a
signed dump ticket for every load. Ceres has
developed a sophisticated system to track and
record this information.
Ceres has developed a custom database that links
the project truck log database, the ticket database
and a database containing all of the images of each
individual ticket. The general procedure is that first
the truck log database is populated from the truck
certification logs, next the tickets are received and
mechanically scanned whereby an image of the
ticket is created in a database and automatically
saved under the ticket number. Next Ceres' data
entry staff input the information from the ticket
including the truck number. The database will not
allow entry of a ticket without a corresponding truck
in the log or if the ticketed yardage exceeds the
yardage capacity of the truck.
Ceres' ticket database has been in use for over 10
years and is easily modified to meet the needs of
our Clients. The database is designed to make it
easy to use, yet it is very powerful. One Data entry
person, with minimal on-site training, can enter over
700 tickets per day. The system does not allow
duplicate tickets to be entered thus prohibiting
duplicate billing.
Confidential, contains trade secrets
An eight -page "Data Entry/Accounting Procedures"
booklet is used to train and provide guidance to our
data entry personnel to ensure all data is entered in
the same manner to insure data integrity. All
activities including stump removal, hourly rate
equipment, recording personnel hours, and other
activities are recorded by our operations staff and
the records are audited by our financial department
to make certain records of all potentially —
reimbursable activities shall be acceptable and
auditable to FEMA. The data entry procedures
include a double entry system where by the truck
number and amounts hauled are first entered from
the tickets and later re-entered at the time of
subcontractor (or inter departmental) invoice.
Ceres' ticket, truck log and image databases
(images include both tickets and truck logs) are
available as password protected read only files over
the internet. Internet access to our databases is
provided to all our Governmental customers and
has been used in the past for audits by such
Federal agencies as the DCAA.
Any private property ROE's that are issued are also
integrated into our database system. It is our policy
to take before and after pictures for all ROE's
properties, these pictures are linked in the database
with the ROE records which are both accessible
over the internet.
Prior to initial use of our system, authorized Ceres
personnel, and contract representatives as
required, will inspect hauling trucks. Only pre -
approved trucks will be received at the TDSRS.
Approval shall include documentation of truck
identification and insurance, safety requirements,
and measured cubic yardage capacity. A unique
approval number shall be assigned to the truck and
posted on the truck along with measured capacity.
All units hauling debris are required to be
"measured in" prior to commencement of work.
The hauling unit/truck/ trailer certification procedure
is mandatory and will be administered by quality
control representatives of Ceres and the Client or
the Client's designated authority(s).
A Truck Certification Log Sheet will be created for
each hauling unit/truck/trailer. Unit specific
information along with Year, Make, Address,
Photograph, Model, • License Plate information,
Driver Name and signatures will be recorded on the
log. At this time a unique identifier will be assigned
to the unit. The identifier will consist of both Letters
and Numbers. Each Subcontractor will be assigned
a Letter Code unique to the Subcontractor. The

number portion of the identifier will be sequential
(The first truck measured is 100; the second truck
measured is 101; the third truck measured is 102;
and so forth). A given number will not be assigned
to more than one hauling unit (there is only one
101, 102, 103, etc....). Combining the
subcontractor identifier with the number would
result in the unique identification for each unit.
ACE100, for "Ace Trucking Company"; TTS101 for
"Toms Tree Service". Using both lettering and
numbering system for the Truck Identification will
minimize any potential confusion by having both the
volume (CY) and truck number on the same label.
The truck identification always has letters in
front of the numbers. Truck Certification Logs
will be maintained by Quality Control Staff. The log
shall be maintained and available to TDSRS
inspection personnel regarding truck approvals,
approval number, capacity and other pertinent
information.
Upon certification, the identification and volume
information is written (with permanent marker) on
the label (placard). Ceres uses labels pre-printed
with our name and blanks for identification number
and volume. The label is then immediately affixed to
a standard, visible location on both sides of the
truck/trailer/hauling unit from which it can not be
removed without destroying the label. All
equipment is subject to inspection by the Client.
Dispatch records will be maintained for the duration
of the project. Records will include date and time of
dispatch, crew and unit identifier, and status of
assigned section (In Progress, Completed,...).
Typically one contractor will be assigned to a given
section. Sections may be comprised of individual
developments or combinations thereof. Accurate
and Thorough Dispatch Logs enable the
identification of any potential issues and the
responsible party.
Additionally, all supervisors will conduct weekly tool
box meetings and develop activity hazard analyses
in compliance with the corporate Health and Safety
Plan and these meetings are documented.
Documentation — Field Operations
Production Reporting
Ceres has developed specific procedures to ensure
proper and thorough documentation of daily project
activities and adherence to strict quality control
requirements. Daily documentation required for each
debris management project will meet or exceed
Confidential, contains trade secrets
contractual requirements and FEMA or other agency
requirements. Ceres has developed project tracking
forms to ensure accurate reporting. Some of these
forms include: Toad tickets, truck certification logs,
production logs, shift inspection checklists, safety
meeting report forms, daily crew reports, and various
equipment usage reports. Other reports are prepared
and submitted to document project activities,
progress, and quality control. These reports include,
but may not be limited to:
• Daily Production Reports to detail:
o the Zone, Section number, and street
where debris removal operations were
conducted and/or completed;
o the total number of personnel engaged
in debris management and position or
activity;
o daily and aggregated man-hours;
o the number of loaders and debris
hauling vehicles in operation;
o hours of use of trucks and equipment;
o the daily and aggregate volumes of
debris, by type, removed and
processed;
o the number, name, and location of each
debris management site in operation to
include numbers and types of reduction
equipment in use;
o mulching machines in operation;
o the percent completion of the project;
o The estimated completion date;
o any inspections conducted by federal,
state or local government agencies;
o any testing performed and/or test
results
o Quality Control phases implemented,
as applicable
o Any corrective actions implemented
o any damage to private property caused
by contractor operations;
o any reports of damage or claims made
by citizens;
o other information as may be required to
fully and completely describe the
contractor's daily operations.
• A weekly summary of the information from the
daily reports,
• A final project summary report to -describe all
debris management activities conducted and
conformance to contract specifications,
• Additional information or reports as necessary
to adequately document the conduct of debris
management operations.

Quality Control
Daily Contractor Production and Quality Control
reports are completed and available the following
work morning to the client or other designated
authority. Original reports are maintained in the
Mobile Command Center and daily reconciliation
reports are generated to verify information reported
on load tickets to information reported on daily
production reports. The Project Manager and
Project QC Manager monitor information contained
in the Daily Quality Control reports to ensure project
activities conform to contractual requirements and
that an acceptable level of project quality and
workmanship is provided to the client. Ceres'
Debris Management Quality Control Program is
discussed in detail in this proposal. Additional all
records, certifications, and reports are converted
into digital documents. These digital documents
are stored securely off-site.
Formalized quality control procedures are applied to
each project to ensure documentation procedures
are properly and fully implemented and to ensure
conformance to project specifications. All
personnel, whether employees, subcontractors, or
suppliers are subject to the provisions of the QC
Program. For each project, a Quality Control
Plan is specifically developed to detail the QC
organization, individual responsibilities,
monitoring procedures of activities and
subcontractor activities, documentation
requirements for Ceres personnel and all
subcontractors, control phases or procedures,
and identification and correction procedures for
non -conforming activities. The remedies for
Non-conformance includes termination.
Exceptional quality control of each project

Field Management
Owing to an unpredictable environment of a project
such as this, if there is no planning or communication,
execution takes much longer than necessary.
Communication is critical to the rapid dissemination of
appropriate and accurate data to the management
team. Also, as time elapse, needs of the Client may
change, and resource requirements may need to be
reassessed. The original plan therefore may need to
be modified. Personnel from the Field Supervisors
up to the' Project manager will meet on a daily basis.
The Project Manager is responsible, in coordination
with the client, for daily scheduling and dispatch of
cleanup crews. The Site Manager is responsible for
reduction site operations and management. The Field
Supervisor is responsible for the management of

collection and hauling activities. The Site Manager
and Field Supervisor report directly to the Project
Manager. In the even of a large scale disaster Area
Managers will report directly to the Project Manager
and have Field Supervisors as direct reports.
Foremen at the reduction site(s) and for the collection
and hauling activities are responsible for crew
supervision and report to the Site Manager and Field
Supervisor, respectively.
Each Field Supervisor shall ensure their crews
operate in an efficient manner and shall be
responsible for documenting and inspecting the
work performed. Field Supervisors will document
safety meetings, equipment safety inspections,
quantity and location of debris hauled, areas
completed, and daily time sheets of personnel and
equipment. Field Supervisors will also monitor
quality control issues such as completeness of
cleanup and/or trimming and contract compliance.
The collection crew Foreman will be responsible for
scouting the future locations of the debris removal
within the daily schedule set by the Project
Manager. While scouting the zone, the Foreman's
responsibilities will include:
o Locating logical trucking routes,
o Identification of Sections by Crew
Type/Composition
o Locating and planning the control or elimination
of hazards within the zone (such as high traffic
areas). Preference will be given to Self
Loaders to ease traffic congestion and minimize
damage.
o Advising the Project Manager of any anticipated
difficulties or hazards
o Determining and obtaining any necessary
resources to ensure a steady work flow in future
work zones.
At the end of each shift, documentation of work
completed will be tabulated by the administrative
staff and used to schedule the next days work
activities. At this time, any daily reports required by
the client will be produced.
Scheduling Control Debris Collection
The Project Manger during post -award preparation
will obtain City/County Maps sufficient in detail to
provide individual debris collection crews address
block information. City/County Maps will be divided
and identified according to Districts, Sections, and
Developments or Address Blocks. The Master
Debris Management Map will be located in the
Emergency Response Trader. Individual
Confidential, contains trade secrets
developments or address block maps will be
reproduced on 8.5 by 11 stationary for use in crew
dispatching. Each Field supervisor will be provided
a binder containing all of the development/address
block maps for the entire Jurisdiction. The Project
manager will responsible for the assignment of
Districts, Sections and Developments or Address
blocks to subcontractors and their respective crews.
A written master assignment file will be maintained
in the emergency Mobile Command Center and will
be updated as changes or additions are made. The
dispatcher utilizing the master assignment file,
will be responsible for dispatching crews to
their assigned areas. Subcontractors and their
respective crews will not be permitted to have
more than two open assigned areas.
Communication between the subcontractors,
their respective crews and the dispatcher will be
via radio or telephone. Upon completion or
near completion of an assignment, it is the
responsibility of the crew leader or
subcontractor to request an inspection. The
dispatcher will forward this request to the
debris collection superintendent or area
manager for action. The debris collection
superintendent or area manager will coordinate
an inspection with a designated Client authority.
Once the assignment determined to be
completed, a new area will be given to the
subcontractor. Areas, depending on the size of
the subcontractor and/or crew may be as small
as address blocks or developments up to
portions or even entire sections. Rework items
will be addressed prior to the issuance of a new
assignment. The dispatcher is responsible for
updating crew locations continually. At the end
of each shift, the dispatcher will provide the
field managers with a list of crews and their
current locations. Subcontractors and crews
are prohibited from collecting debris from
outside of their assigned areas and GPS
locations of all loads are required. Client field
representatives will be provided updated crew
assignments daily. In addition, hauling units will
be equipped with GPS. Utilizing web based
tracking, production information will be
available real time 24 hours per day.
Safety
A Site Safety Plan is developed for each project to
address unique concerns or controls applicable to the
project. Ceres strives to conduct all projects in a safe
manner to protect its employees, subcontractors,
client and government representatives, visitors, and
others who may be on or near the work site. Routine
safety training is conducted for Ceres personnel on a

regular basis. Prior to the initiation of any given
project, the corporate Health and Safety Officer, or
other designated alternate, will provide all team
members with a project safety meeting to address the
objectives and tasks of the project, associated
hazards, and controls. In addition, field supervisors
provide, at least on a weekly basis, tool box safety
meetings for all crew members. Ceres has developed
comprehensive Safety Programs and Accident
Prevention Plans and requires employee compliance
through strict Corporate policies. Emergency
Response personnel are OSHA 40 Hour Hazardous
Waste Operations trained. Additionally, Ceres has
Lead and Asbestos Supervisors and Workers under
employment.
Subcontractors
It is the intention, policy and practice of Ceres
Environmental Services, Inc. to utilize MBE, WBE
and local subcontract services in the performance
of the proposed contract to the maximum extent
possible as consistent with prime contract
requirements and sound business practices and
management policies. We recognize the
advantages obtainable by utilizing other responsible
and experienced firms who are capable of
furnishing specialty services and products of high
quality. First priority will be given to those
subcontractors who are from, do business in,
and are registered with the Client and
surrounding area. It is our commitment to meet
or exceed the Minority and Woman -Owned
Business Enterprise goals established by the
Client. On the Kansas City FY02 Debris
Removal Project Ceres Subcontracted 3.497
million dollars (67%), 1.532 million dollars
(29%), and 414,000 dollars (8%) to Small,
Minority Owned, and Women Owned
Businesses respectively.
Subcontractors shall invoice Ceres on a weekly
basis. Invoices shall be submitted to the Project
Accounting Office for verification and payment.
Subcontract disbursements shall be made within 7
days of receipt of proper invoice. Contractor receipt
of payment from the owner shall not be precedent
to Subcontractor disbursements. Ceres has a
substantial list of subcontractors who are readily
available to assist with this project. In addition to
local subcontractors, Minority Business, Women
Owned Business, SDB and 8a subcontractors will
also be given every opportunity to participate in this
contract. At this time, no firm agreements have
been made with any subcontractors outside of the
local area so that maximum opportunity still exists
for local subcontractor participation.
