Subject HFP#0U172—Disaster Debris Removal Monitoring Services
Dear Mr. Sandoval and Members of the Evaluation Committee.
Tetra Tech, Inc,,. (Tetra Teoh), along with our local minority partner, AOA Engineering, Inc. (ADA), is honored to
submit the enclosed proposal to continue providing disaster debris monitoring services to Miami -Dade County. For
the past 10 years, our team has been Miami -Dade County's clisaster debris monitoriing contractor, including
activations for Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma. We have worked closely with Miami -Dade staff tosecure Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reimbursement and to prepare for the next hurricane. Tetra Tech, with its
14,000 employees (500 in Florida alone) and over 300 offices, is the recogn�zed leader in disaster debris monitoring
and ioideally suited to, assist Miami -Dade County for the following reasons:
° 10 Years of Experience as Miami -Dade County's Disaster Debris Monitoring F'irm. Over the last decade,
Tetra Tech has been the County's contracted disaster debris management and consulting firm. FoUuw|og
Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma in 2005, Tetra Tech provided debris monitoring services to the County for cleanup
of over 3 million cubic yards of debris, Since then, Tetra Tech has assisted the County with several other disaster
debr|s-ng|atedpnojootn.inc|udinQupdatin0ofUhoCounty'adisastardebriumnanagementp|on'cnnducdnga
hurricane exercise, and developing custom software to track damages caused by debds haulers. Our team also
supported the County through annual pre -hurricane season meetings in each of the last nine years to discuss
FEMA reimbursement program updates and demonstrate our RecoveryTraCTM automated debris management
technology (ADMS), Additionally, ADA, our teaming partner for this project, has worked with the County's
Department of Environmental Resources Management to provide roadway, drainage, and secondary canal
infrastructure impmvemen1u. In addition to our debr�e monitoring experience with the County. Our team is also
familiar with the Cmunty'a staff, procurement process, FENYAdooumontotion submittal n*Auiremanto,
infrentruoture, computer data management, and other systems allowing us to respond �mmediate|ywbb no
learning cunxa.
° FEMA Reimbursement Experts, Tetra Tech staff are trained experts in FEMA reimbursement and have
recovered billions ofdo8ora ofFEMA'eUB|b[m debris -related reimbursement costs for our clients. Debris
monitoring is a requirement for FEMA reirnbursement. As a result, our staff is fully up-to-date on the latest
changes in FEN|Are|mburaamentpolicy, and our field debris monitoring procedures are constantly updated to
maximize reimbursement for our clients. Collectively, we have overseen and managed the recovery of over 69
million cubic yards of debris on behalf of over 250 public sector clients, resulting in excess of $3.5 billion in,
reimbursable costs to our clients from the FEMA, the Federal Highway Administration, and the Natural
Resources Conservation Service, A key member Of Our team is Mr. Dick Hainje, former regional administrator of
FEMA Region V||' Mr. Hoin]e has led response to overG0 presidential disasters declarations and assisted FEPNA
Region |Vwith the 2004 Florida hurricane response. 88r. Hainjo frequently meets with local officials and FEMA
Region |V un matters related to reimbursement policies.
° Trusted, Florida -Based Team. Our team includes several familiar faces, who have worked extensively w4h the
County staff in the past, For example, JonatMan Burgiel, Tetra Tech's proposed project manager, served as the

Miami -Dade County Bid RFP-00172
County's disaster debris monitoring project manager after Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma and has been
extensively involved in the development of the County's disaster debris management plan and annual training
with County staff. He has worked over a decade with the County public works staff preparing for and responding
to hurricanes, Mr. Burgiel is considered one of the nation's leading experts in disaster debris monitoring and
FEMA reimbursement.
Our proposed deputy project manager, Mr. Robert Menge, served as the Miami -Dade County Public Works and
Waste Management (PWWM) Department's lead for hurricane debris management. He possesses over 33 years
of experience as a Miami -Dade County employee. Mr. Menge was intimately involved in debris removal
operations after Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma, Mr. Menge led the development of the County disaster debris
management plan and has in-depth knowledge of the County's disaster debris operations staff, procurement, and
contract requirements. As a member of the Tetra Tech team, he will have a critical role in the event of a
hurricane due to his unmatched knowledge of the County's systems, staff, and approach to disaster debris
management.
Our proposed data manager, Mr. Jeff Dickerson, served as the County's data operations manager following
Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma. Mr, Dickerson led the development of Tetra Tech's ADMS technology and has
integrated the County's police grids into the system to allow the County to allocate work to the County's 37 debris
haulers. Ms. Anne Cabrera, who headed up the County's invoice reconciliation after Hurricane Wilma and
understands the County's accounts payable processes, will be performing this role again under the new contract.
Mr. Will McGowen, who headed up the debris tower monitoring management at the North and South County
landfills, will again serve in this important role. These and other familiar faces will provide the County with the
confidence of having future projects executed by a team the County already knows and trusts,
• Experience with Parks and Public Works. Tetra Tech has significant experience in assisting parks and public
works departments with recovery from hurricanes, including past work for the City of Houston Parks and
Recreation Department, State of NJ Parks as well as the Miami -Dade County Parks, Recreation and Open
Spaces Department (Miami -Dade Parks) after Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma. Tetra Tech will have an office at
150 West Flagler Street, Suite 1625, Miami, FL 33130, adjacent to the County's offices. This office will be used to
locate our Miarni-Dade Parks project manager to ensure our team can work closely with parks in their recovery
effort, Likewise, our team is prepared to locate our key staff at the County's NW 58th St. Disaster Debris
Operations Center (War Room) to ensure we are closely coordinating efforts with County staff,
• Value -Added Annual Pre -Hurricane Season Meetings and Force Account Reimbursement
Training. Because Miami -Dade County is a long-standing key client, Tetra Tech will provide value-added pre -
hurricane season meetings to County staff on the latest FEMA policies. Tetra Tech will also provide training on
how to properly record force account labor to ensure the County maximizes reimbursement, an area that costs
communities millions of dollars each year due to improper documentation.
• No Competing Contracts in South Florida. Unlike other firms that have commitments to other large
communities in South Florida like the Cities of Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Tetra Tech has no such competing
priorities. Miami -Dade Count is our #1 riority in South Florida. We have intentionally not committed to any large
communities in South Florida to ensure our staff is ready and available to serve Miami -Dade County.
• ADMS Technology, Tetra Tech's RecoveryTrac" ADMS technology allows our staff to monitor and manage a
recovery effort electronically, increasing productivity while decreasing fraud, human error, and cost to the
County, RecoveryTrac TM was designed to provide Miami -Dade County real-time data on missed pickups,
damage caused by debris haulers, and street level pass maps. We understand the field operational and
communication issues and have worked closely with PWWM staff to address these problem areas with
proven results. Our team has successfully implemented our ADMS technology for Boulder County, Colorado
(Flooding); Rapid City, South Dakota (Ice Storm); Sioux Falls, South Dakota (Ice Storm); the State of New Jersey
Department of Environmental Protection (Hurricane Sandy); St. John the Baptist Parish, Louisiana (Hurricane
Isaac); the City of Houston, Texas (Severe Drought); and several communities in South Carolina and Georgia in
response to Winter Storm Fax within the past two years.

Section 1: Proposer's Experience and Past Performance
Our team's previous performance in the County following Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma and our unwavering
commitment to the County even during times of normalcy, including conducting annual pre -hurricane season
meetings for the last nine years,
Our team offers a proven approach that has been refined in disaster activations across the United States,
including 13 projects with over 1 million CYs of debris, as evidenced by our team's detailed scope of work and
significant work history in the disaster response marketplace, including in Miami -Dade County and throughout
Florida.
Our team offers detailed reporting, real-time debris collection tracking, and mapping capabilities that are
driven by our RecoveryTracTM automated debris management system (ADMS) technology, which will be
tailored to meet the County's data needs. RecoveryTracTM allows our staff to monitor and manage a recovery
effort electronically and increases productivity while decreasing fraud, human error, and cost to the County.
Local Presence Facilitates a Rapid Mobilization
In the aftermath of a disaster, time is critical. Each crucial minute that slips by could result in higher costs and
longer down times. Minimizing the impact of a disaster calls for an emergency management partner with the
resources to mobilize a swift, efficient response in hours, not days. For that reason, Tetra Tech will serve as prime
consultant and will perform work for the County from our offices at 150 West Flagler Street, Suite 1625, Miami,
FL 33130, which is located across the street from the County's office.
Joining Tetra Tech in this submittal is ADA Engineering, Inc. (ADA). ADA has three offices in Florida, including a
location at 8550 NW 33rd Street, Suite 202, Dora!, FL 33122. Tetra Tech can also utilize ADA's local office in the
County to support operations. Additional information about our teaming partner is included in Section 2 — Key
Personnel and Subcontractors.
Tetra Tech also maintains a warehouse located in Central Florida with over 120 fully stocked bays of debris
monitoring supplies capable of supporting over 50 simultaneous recovery operations for over 90 days. In addition
to our warehouse, Tetra Tech owns a fleet of project -ready supply and satellite trailers that can be mobilized at a
moment's notice, Our team has successfully deployed large-scale mobilizations of hundreds of staff and
thousands of dollars' worth of equipment to multiple clients in a matter of days and on very short notice.
Tetra Tech's national network of
resources includes 24 offices
throughout Florida, including
three offices in the County. The
Tetra Tech team can utilize
these office locations as
necessary to immediately
respond to the County's need
for personnel and resources
following a debris -generating
event or other disaster. These
local offices may be used for
office space, on -site IT
personnel, communication
resources (e.g., a debris hotline
call center if deemed necessary
by the County), or staging of
mobile trailers and equipment.

Section 1: Proposer's Experience and Past Performance
1.1 Experience and Past Performance within the Past 10 Years
Our team has vast experience providing disaster management, recovery, and consulting services to state and
local government agencies. Our approach includes partnering with our clients to establish and test the necessary
plans and procedures before a disaster strikes and assisting with disaster response and recovery operations as
well as post -disaster grant management. One of the keys to maintaining readiness in the field of disaster
response and recovery is remaining active year-round. Our team has responded to 10 major disaster
declarations since 2011, totaling over 75 clients throughout the country.
Additionally, Tetra Tech has a unique understanding of the County and of the potential challenges a large-scale
debris -generating event would have on the County. In 2005, Tetra Tech, the successor of interest to BDR,
Inc., was awarded the Miami -Dade County debris monitoring contract. In the years since then, the County
has been fortunate enough not to have needed to activate the monitoring contract. However, our team has
provided assistance in the preparation for a disaster through annual pre -season meetings and working sessions
with the County.
Exhibit 1-2 summarizes our team's experience serving as the prime contractor on large-scale debris monitoring
projects in the past 10 years. Our services under these engagements included environmental permitting, right-of-
way (ROW) debris collection monitoring, leaner/hanger/stump removal monitoring, temporary debris management
site (TDMS) monitoring, private property debris removal and right -of -entry administration, contractor invoice
reconciliation, and federal grant reimbursement support.

Section 1: Proposer's Experience and Past Performance
Our team has worked closely with FEMA and FHWA staff in the determination of debris eligibility, data
requirements, project worksheet/detailed damage inspection report development, auditing of
documentation, and reimbursement requirements. This includes providing step-by-step assistance to clients
throughout the FEMA reimbursement process.
To maximize PA funding for our clients, our staff members maintain a working relationship with FEMA at the
headquarters, regional, and local levels. Constant communication and regular interface with FEMA allows our
team to obtain quick responses on disaster -specific guidance and issues.
Tetra Tech uses debris estimate models and damage assessment experts to supply FEMA PA and project
officers with the information needed to generate project worksheet estimates at the beginning of a debris removal
project. By helpirg FEMA staff prepare project worksheet estimates at the onset of the project, Tetra Tech is able
to begin the flow of federal funds early in the project, many times prior to the actual receipt of invoices for the work
performed by contractors. This reduces the need for clients to tap into cash reserves or credit lines to pay
contractors.
Moreover, Tetra Tech maintains a full-time staff to assist our clients
in obtaining reimbursement. Mr. Dick Hainje, former regional
administrator of FEMA Region VII, has been responsible for
deploying and managing over 2,000 emergency management
employees following disasters and created a long-term community
recovery process for FEMA Region VII. Mr. Hainje has assisted our
clients with navigating the reimbursement process and obtaining
clarification on FEMA policies. Mr, Hainje also led the response,
recovery, and mitigation for the historic 2008 Midwest flooding
event, where he was the regional administrator in charge of over
1,000 FEMA employees deployed to this event. Mr. Hainje was the
director of operations for Hurricane Charley, which struck
Florida in 2004. He was responsible for the entire Florida
operations division, which at the time was the largest
deployment in FEMA's history. Following the four hurricanes that struck Florida, Mr. Hainje served as director
of emergency housing, which was the largest emergency housing operation in more than a decade. Mr. Hainje
frequently meets with local officials and FEMA Region IV on matters related to reimbursement policies.
Additionally, our data management and document storage procedures are tailored to facilitate FEMA review of the
generation of project worksheet versions throughout the project. Our FEMA appeals and funding specialists
have worked with FEMA closeout officers to obtain millions of previously deobligated dollars for
communities.
4gAto..,
While serving as FEMA's Region VII
Administrator, Mr. Hainje briefed President
Bosh on the Midwest flooding of 2008.
In the field, our operations managers and field supervisors fully understand FEMA rules and regulations for hand -
loaded vehicles; stump, limb, and tree removal at unit rates; volumetric load calls at temporary disposal site
locations; and ROW debris removal eligibility. This allows us to monitor contracts to the smallest detail while
concurrently managing and documenting the operation using proven methodologies that maximize FEMA
reimbursement. Our understanding of reimbursement agencies' requirements for eligibility,
documentation, and reimbursement has helped our clients obtain over $3.5 billion in reimbursement
funds from federal agencies such as FEMA, FHWA, and the NRCS.
1.3 Environmental Experience
Tetra Tech has broad -based expertise with hazardous materials and waste management and compliance
assurance spanning more than 20 years for both private and public sector clients. We have a proven record of
helping customers address National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance, Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA)/Superfund Amendments and

The following projects are a representative sample of our experience and accomplishments in performing similar
services over the last 10 years. Given the nature and scrutiny of FEMA reimbursement, it is not unusual for a local
government to have one or more PWs questioned by FEMA/Office of Inspector General (OIG) during the audit
process. Tetra Tech is known for our track record of standing by and supporting clients' years following an event
to support and defend their reimbursement. However, we are not always informed of the final outcomes of
disaster reimbursements (often because the reimbursement amount in question may be small). When contacting
these references, please recall that some of these projects were performed under the BDR Division, which is now
Tetra Tech, inc.
In addition to the projects listed below, our team has assisted numerous communities in Florida with response
and recovery efforts following Hurricanes Charley, Frances, Jeanne, Ivan, Dennis, Katrina, and Wilma. Our team
has been called upon by Collier, Lake, Miami -Dade, Monroe, Polk, Santa Rosa, Sarasota, and Volusia Counties
as well as the Cities of Boca Raton, Daytona Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Marathon, Naples, Pembroke Pines,
Pensacola, Plantation, and Sarasota to provide debris monitoring services and grant application, administration,
and management. Since 2004, our team has monitored the collection and removal of almost 30 million CYs
of debris in Florida. Tetra Tech is proud of our experience in Florida and is committed to successfully managing
all phases of debris monitoring for our clients following a debris -generating event.
Disaster Debris Program Management — Hurricane Ike
City of Houston, Texas
On the evening of September 12, 2008, Hurricane Ike made landfall in Texas,
leaving in its wake massive amounts of debris from high winds, inland flooding, and
storm surge. This devastating event affected nearly every home within the City of
Houston (Houston), which had enjoyed significant growth in both population and
tree canopy since Hurricane Alicia 25 years prior. In response to Hurricane Ike's
impact on the nation's fourth largest city, our team mobilized over 1,000 staff to
tittiittittnittc. ,t manage and document Houston's debris removal efforts, Houston's debris removal

was able to divert approximately 264,857 tons from the solid waste stream. This included erosion control at 5
landfills, material composting at 15 mulch facilities, and boiler fuel at 2 paper mills.
In addition to ROW debris removal, our team photo-docu ented and obtained FEMA reimbursement for one of
the largest municipal hazardous trees and hanging limb removal programs in U.S. history. Our team managed
before and after photographs, GPS coordinates, and unit rate tickets substantiating work performed on 212,479

Disaster Debris Program Management — Hurricane Katrina Residential Demolition Program
City of New Orleans, Louisiana
Immediately following Hurricane Katrina, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE)
was provided a direct federal mission by the FEMA to coordinate recovery and
debris removal efforts in the City of New Orleans (New Orleans). The USACE
program managed operations for more than two years until their departure in August
2007. Because thousands more homes remained to be demolished, our team was
retained to serve as the comprehensive program manager for the effort.
Our team developed a compliant, efficient demolition process for New Orleans. The
project team surveyed over 5,000 properties, many of which were not condemned for demolition and placed in the
Chapter 28 program. Our team then managed over i,772 demolitions, including residential, commercial,
and selective salvage properties. The project team verified and documented legal authority to demolish
properties, managed environmental and utilities disconnect due diligence, managed the contracting of the debris
removal contractor, managed all legal and reimbursement -related paperwork to support reimbursement, and
provided field monitoring as required to meet FEMA guidelines.
Concurrent to assisting New Orleans with this very important demolition initiative, Hurricane Gustav impacted
New Orleans in August of 2008. Already mobilized, our team assisted New Orleans with documenting force
account expenditures, deploying contracted debris re oval resources, monitoring fieldwork, developing debris
removal documentation, and developing FEMA PA and FHWA Emergency Relief grant applications. In total, our
team assisted with the documentation and applications necessary to recover nearly $40 million in federal
reimbursement for New Orleans.
Furthermore, our team was still managing the Hurricane Katrina demolition project when Hurricane Isaac struck
the Louisiana Coast in August 2012, In addition to continuing demolition operations, our team assisted with
program management and monitoring of the removal of debris that resulted from Hurricane lsaac, including the
management of a leaner/hanger program for hazardous tree removal from ROW roads.
Tetra Tech was recently awarded a contract to assist the New Orleans with the program management and
monitoring of an additional 331 properties that were deemed eligible by FEMA for PA funding. Upon notice to
proceed, Tetra Tech began field surveys leveraging Esri geographic information system tools and smartphones to
document and photograph properties. Electronic field surveys have provided the project team and New Orleans
with real-time access to survey information as it is generated in the field.

Winter Storm Alfred Disaster Management Support Services
Connecticut Department of Transportation
Winter Storrn Alfred struck the State of Connecticut on October 29, 2011, and
t caused damage to trees and homes to the northern part of the state. Originally
forecasted to only be a rain event, the noreaster changed to wet snow that collected
on trees that had not yet shed their leaves. The wet snow froze overnight and
became too heavy for the trees to support. As a result, limbs snapped and trees
toppled into streets and public roadways and posed a threat to public health and
safety.
This was the largest debris incident the State had to recover from since Hurricane Gloria in 1985. The downed
trees and branches took out power lines and caused power outages for over 900,000 customers statewide.
Governor Malloy declared a state of emergency, and our team was mobilized by the State of Connecticut to
support the Interagency Debris Management Task Force (IDMTF) and statewide debris operations at the
Connecticut Emergency Operations Center (CEOC).
As part of the recovery effort, the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CONNDOT) was tasked with
clearing and removing debris from state -maintained roadways. Even with over 800 trucks in their fleet and the
necessary supporting equipment, CONNDOT required the assistance from the State's emergency debris
contractors, and our team was activated.
Our team set up a statewide project plan that was presented to CONNDOT and approved. This plan included the
removal of over 48,000 hazards in trees and 436,000 yards of disaster debris in over 45 towns across the state.
This statewide project plan incorporated the separation of contractor crews and monitors to maintain
documentation for the federal grant programs provided by the FEMA and the FHWA. These crews ran
simultaneously in 45 towns and cities throughout the state and sometimes on the same roadways.
In addition to our team's project work for CONNDOT, our staff performed the monitoring for all work
completed in Connecticut State Parks. The parks program alone ended up including over 24,000 CY of debris
removed and nearly 9,000 hazardous hanging limbs and hazardous tree removals documented by our team
members.

ADMS Disaster Debris Program Management — Hurricane Sandy
New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection
In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, the New Jersey Department of Environmental
Protection (NJDEP) enlisted our team to provide debris monitoring and
comprehensive program management services to NJDEP and communities
throughout the impacted region. In the months following Hurricane Sandy, NJDEP
formulated a program to address debris -related hazards from every state -
maintained waterway along the coastline, beginning at the Hudson River and
ending at the Delaware Bay.
This program presented many operational challenges due to the State's lack of
familiarity with FEMA policies regarding debris operations, a 9500 series guidance document on waterways debris
removal issued just days before the landfall of Hurricane Sandy, and the State's approach to dividing the program
project into three distinct regions.

Section 1: Propnser's Experience and Past Performance
Tetra Tech was tasked with monitoring the removal of abandoned vessels, loose debrie, and hazardous waste in
state -maintained waterways within the northern region, which was known for heavy marine traffic and
contaminated waters.
Upon deployment, our team worked closely with NJDEPmnd the state project manager to develop protocols arid
procedures to effectively monitor and manage the debris and vehicle and vessel removal process while meeting
FEMA eligibility requirements. Due to the technical aspects of the work and the need for an in-depth
understanding of the specific parameters and guidelines, the need for a more highly trained work force p�marily
consisting Of Supervisory level personnel was presented and accepted. Having personnel on location with the
debris removal crews who completely understood the guidelines and made informed decisions increased the
efficiency ofthe removal mfeligible debris.
Our proprietary ADMS, RecoveryTra CTM, greatly increased the client's visibility to the day-to-day operations and
provided real-time tracking Vfcrew locations and debris quantities. Byusing real-time tracking and recording
photos of ongoing operations, the need for a stop work request was nearly eliminated and decisions could! be
passed along tufield operations for both monitors and contractors.
After efficiently monitoring the operations in the northern region, our team was tasked with monitoring the
southern region, thus replacing the previous monitoring firm. The same methods and procedures were once again
established, which resulted in a much more timely and efficient debris removal process, The southern region
presented additional challenges due to the significant archeological and environmental sites that required special
treatment. Using 'technology and real-time reporting, the mn'mitmsupervisors were able to locate the areas of
env�ronmental concerns as well as known archeological sites. By identifying issues in advance, Tetra Tech was
able to advise the contractor prior to issues occurring, resulting in timesavings and fewer incursions upon
environmental and archeological assets.
Our team was also tasked with monitoring the sediment removal process in both regions. By relying upon our
processes developed over many years of working with the USACE, our team was able to prepare plans and
properly document the removal ofHurricane Sandy sediment.

On Labor Day, September 2, 2011, high winds from Tropical Storm Lee hundreds of
miles away along the Louisiana coastline coupled with a severe drought throughout
much of Texas produced ideal conditions for wildfires. Bastrop County, home of Lost
Pines State Park and over 30,000 residents, experienced one of the most
catastrophic wildfires in state history. The Bastrop Complex Fire ripped through the
Lost Pines area, destroying over 1,600 homes and leaving in its wake hundreds of
thousands of standing dead trees. Our team was immediately retained by the County
Commissioner's Court and began to work quickly with elected officials and staff to
implement a disaster debris management program to address the unique debris stream created by this incident.
Our team assisted with debris hauler procurement as well as the requests to FEMA for a private property debris
removal (PPDR) program. For the period of November 2011 to July 2013, our team assisted Bastrop County with
completing three PPDR programs. Each program administration included site surveys, subrogation of insurance
claims, submission of properties for FEMA approval, and monitoring of the removal of hazards. In total, our team
facilitated the management and monitoring of PPDR from over 2,000 properties resulting in over 372,000 CYs of
debris and over 50,000 tree removals.

3. MIAMI-DADE CONTRACTS
Over the last decade, Tetra Tech has been the County's contracted disaster debris management and consulting
firm. Following Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma in 2005, Tetra Tech provided debris monitoring services to the
County for the clean-up of over 3 million CYs of debris. Since then, Tetra Tech has assisted the County with
several other disaster debris -related projects, including 'updating the County's disaster debris management plan, a
hurricane exercise, and the development of custom software to track damages caused by debris haulers. Our
team also supported the County through annual pre -hurricane season meetings in each of the last nine years to
discuss FEMA reimbursement program updates and demonstrate our RecoveryTracTM automated debris
management technology (ADMS). Additionally, our teaming partner, ADA, has worked with the County's
Department of Environmental Resources Management to provide roadway, drainage, and secondary canal
infrastructure improvements.
As a result, Tetra Tech has significant past disaster debris monitoring experience with the County and its staff, the
procurement process, FEMA documentation submittal requirements, infrastructure, and computer data
management and other systems allowing us to respond immediately with no learning curve. As requested in the
request for proposal, below is a listing of contracts performed for the County.

Prior to an event with warning (such as a hurricane), the Tetra Tech
team will begin monitoring the landfall of any tropical system four
days prior to landfall (Hour -96) and will coordinate via conference call
with the County. Following an event without warning (such as
tornadoes or flooding), Tetra Tech will begin response at impact
(Hour 0).
Tetra Tech will also develop debris estimates based on theforecast
intensity of the storm, expected rainfall, and storm surge among other
variables. Our team and County staff will use this information to
determine the expected number of debris hauling. vehicles and
monitors required as part of the clean-up effort and whether additional
debris staging sites will need to be activated throughout the County.
For example, a significant event (category 3 hurricane or greater) would likelygenerate such significant quantities
of debris to overwhelm the capacity of the two County landfills to handle the truck traffic, requiring the need to
open additional debris staging sites throughout the County.
Once impact of the storm becomes clearly imminent, we will work with the County staff to activate the NW 5&
th
Street War Room as the operations center for the County disaster debris removal operations. Tetra Tech will
establish a presence at the NW 58thl Street War Room .to coordinate pre -disaster impact activities with the County
staff.
During the time leading up to the storm's impact, we will work with County staff to perform a number of pre -
disaster activities. These activities will include reviewing the County debris plan, contacting the County's disaster

For the purposes cfthis proposal, Tetra Tech has developed adebris
estimate for the County based on the scenario of a category 1 storm impact�ng the County with
heavy rains and
minimal storm surge (s�milar to Hurricane Wilma), Tetra Tech also incorporated our previous experience
monitoring debris removal operations in the County as well as our recent national expehence to develop the
following assumptions:

• Based on the Tetra Tech team's experience managing over 300 debris removal projects throughout the nation
as well as the County's ability to respond efficiently fblloWng a debris -generating event, Tetra Tech estimates
that roughly 75 percent of the debris generated by a category I hurricane will be collected within the first four
tufive weeks nfthe project,
w Following Hurricane Wilma, the average truckload of debris hauled by County contractor equipment fluctuated
between 35and 4QCYs.Tetra Tech used 35CYoanamaverage truckload capacity for collection inthis
model.
• The average ratio cf loadab|etruoks toloading devices (o.g,front-end loader) w�llbe2:1for the first four, to
five weeks. This ratio isprojected todecline 0o2:1 for the romaJmhQsix weekeoftheclemn'mpeffod-
m Based on our logistical experience coordinating debris removal efforts throughout the County, Tetra Tech
estimates the average number of loads will be six loads per day for the first 75% of debris collected and four
loads per day for the last 25% of deb6s collected, Th�s takes into account the locations of North and South
Dade Landfills, truck queuing at the landfills and debris staging sites, traffic considerations, and historical data
from the County Hurricane Wilma clean-up event.

DAMAGE ASSESSMENT
Immediately following mstorryi, orother disaster that may qualify for FEMAreimbursement, one ofthe first
activities to be performed is a damage assessment to determine the extent of the damage caused by the disaster.
The damage assessment will be used to determine if suff i6ent damage was incurred to trigger a presidential
disaster declaration for FEMA PA and begin the flow of federal funds to Miami -Dade County.
One of the first duties, Tetra Tech will assist the County with will be to estimate the extent of the damage caused
by the disaster. This information will be used not only to estimate the number ofdebris trucks regu�red to remove
the storm debris, but also to develop an estimate of the total dollar damages the County is likely to incur in the
recovery effort. This estimated "cost of recovery" will be provided to the State of Florida to determine if the State
and Miami -Dade qualify for a presidentiai disaste,r declaration. The foWowing are the services Tetra Tech will
provide to inmnnediote|y assist the County in qualifying for FEK4Areimbursement via the FEMA PA Program.

MONITOR ONBOARDING AND TRAINING
Prior to performing ROW debris collection or disposal site monitoring, Tetra Tech will onboard and train monitors

Response to a debris -generating events in Miami -Dade County requires establishing debris staging sites,
emergency permitting of the debris staging sites (including State regulatory permits) in the County, baseline soil
testing before the debris staging sites are opened and as part of remediation process, and recycling and diversion
initiatives once the reduced vegetative debris is collected and processed. It is expected that the County will use
the North and South Dade County Landfills as their primary debris staging sites, but it is highly likely that other
debris staging sites will be required similar to after Hurricane Wilma where the County Parks Department
activated an additional debris staging site. Also, in the event of a significant event (category 3 or greater), it is
likely the County will require additional debris staging sites because the number of vehicles utilizing the County
landfill sites would likely be overwhelmed by the volume of trucks.
Tetra Tech has had significant experience assisting local governments in Florida with pre -permitting debris
staging sites before a disaster event as well as post -disaster permitting.
As debris staging sites are activated, Tetra Tech will provide a minimum of four disposal monitors per debris
staging site. Staffing numbers may also increase or decrease, depending on site layout. Debris site operations
and documentation are audited several tirnes daily by operations managers and supervisors to verify load call
accuracy and consistency. Tetra Tech has developed a field -proven methodology for promoting timely processing
of a truck at a debris staging site tower. As a result, queue times at a debris staging site tower are greatly
reduced when using Recover3/Trac TM ADMS technology.
Specific documentation kept by Tetra Tech debris staging site monitors includes the following:
• Load Ticket. The load ticket is used to document debris removal, complying with all requirements of FEMA
327 and 325,
• Disposal Monitor Log. The disposal monitor log is used as backup documentation, complying with all
requirements of FEMA 327 and 325,
• Scale Manifest Tickets. If the debris hauling contract is weight -based, tickets generated by the existing
scales at the County's debris staging sites will be digitized and cataloged by Tetra Tech.
• Incident Report. The incident report is used to document property damage, arguments, unsafe practices,
and personal injury.
• Photographic Documentation. Tetra Tech disposal supervisors will photograph a debris staging site
frequently to create a visual timeline of the site,
• QA/QC of Field Tickets. Disposal monitors review and verify collection monitors' work in the field.
All of the information above will be captured electronically using Tetra Tech's RecoveryTrac TM ADMS ticketing
system and sent automatically to a centralized database. This database meets FEMA's requirements for FEMA
reimbursement documentation and is audit ready.

Tetra Tech's approach to ROW collection monitoring will include the fellovving:
• Operations. Field collection monitors report to a staging location prior to the commencement of daily
operations for a briefing to be given by the project manager or field supervisors and the distribution of safety
gear (for example, caution lights or safety vests), map books, and ADMS handheld units/debris tickets,
• Deployment. A field monitor is assigned to one loading unit or leaner and hanger crew. In instances where
leaner and hanger crews have multiple saw operators, the cut crew can request the addition of a monitor (this
typically happens when a cut crew can cornplete over 60 hazard removals a day).
• Field Supervision. Responsibilities of the field supervisor include training, QA/QC of work being performed,
verifying load ticket accuracy, and responding to field monitor and debris contractor issues in the field.
• Responsibilities. Field monitors will verify the proper loading of debris into the debris removal contractor's
certified loading container. Monitors will document that contractors and their subcontractors adhere to local,
state, and federal regulations and that they are working safely and efficiently. Field monitors often notice
inconsistencies with debris removal procedures and submit them to their supervisors. If a field monitor feels
there is justifiable need to stop operations, the monitor is instructed to refrain from issuing a ticket until the
debris hauler supervisor and a Tetra Tech supervisor can be called in to determine the appropriate action.
• Work Scheduling. Tetra Tech will coordinate with the debris removal contractor's project manager to
estimate the number of field monitors that will be required for the following day. To be responsive and mitigate
overstaffing, Tetra Tech requests that the debris hauler release the next day's schedule by 5 p.m. This will
verify the appropriate number of field monitors is dispatched.
• Daily Closeout. At the dose of operations each day, all collection and disposal
staging area to clock out and turn in their ADMS handheld units.
• Contractor Completion. Tetra Tech will assist the County in completing the project efficiently and within the
timelines set forth in the RFP. There are many aspects of debris removal that are outside of the monitoring
firm's control but will still need to be managed. Tetra Tech will assist the County with managing these goals,
including the following:
The ability of a debris contractor to respond with sufficient equipment will affect the proposed schedule.
Tetra Tech will provide burn rate analysis to verify the proper equipment is being provided. This will be
adjusted as more accurate debris estirnates are available.
- Leapfrogging by the contractor (cherry picking work being performed) is detrimental to the efficiency of
operations and will be reported.
- Deadlines for collecting debris are set to correspond with the work schedule that is based on estimated
work to be completed. As damage estimates become more accurate (as is typical throughout the
process), Tetra Tech will work with County officials to adjust the timeline to appropriately reflect the
changing estimates.
In addition, there are events out of the control of all parties that
could negatively impact a debris removal operation (for example,
inclement weather). In the event any of these circumstances occur,
Tetra Tech will work closely with the County to refine timelines and
support an expeditious recovery for the County.
Our monitors will use RecoveryTraCm ADMS, which will allow the
County to view debris collection points, truck locations, monitor
locations, damages and incidents, and daily metrics at any given time. The additional geospatial reporting
capabilities are made possible through the Tetra Tech approach to crew monitoring. At each debris collection
point, the field collection monitor marks the "waypoint" or location of the debris pile to collect GPS coordinates,

Guidance established in FEMA 325 and 327 requires supporting photo documentation for each ticket issued for
hazardous tree or hanger removal services. Tetra Tech has developed several protocols and processes to ensure
consistent and correct documentation for hazard removal. Some examples include:

The previous standard for monitoring firms was tntake supporting photographs with adigital camera and
manually associate the photos to each tree ticket. Tetra Tech's ADIVIS technology can be used to document all -
hazardous tree and hanger removal operations and is designed to automatically manage photo documentation by
compressing and securely storing photos for field validations and audits in real time. The ability toassociate photo
documentation to unit rate tickets is critical for FEMA reimbursement, QAiQC, and fraud deterrence.
Hazard Removal Quality Control
Aawork in the field is completed, the information and supporting photos are uploaded directly to our database for
O/VQCohocks. A QA/QC manager verifies that the photographs comply with FEIVIA regulations and that all
measurements meet the Cnun,ty/ncontractual agreement with the contractor.

DEBRIS STAGING SITE CLOSURE
Tetra Tech is experienced in the environmental regulations and compliance standards for the closure of a debris
staging site. The FDEP must be contacted before the closure of a debris staging site to verifyall required actions
are taken, Generally, a debris staging site must be returned to its original environmental state. Restoration of
debris staging site includes removing all remnants of operations and the remediation of any contamination that
may have occurred during operations, A final sample of environmental data rnay be collected to verify a debris
staging site has been returned to its original state. Final closure nfu debris staging site will nsqu|na written notice

QUALITY ASSURANCEIQUALITY CONTROL PROGRAM
Implementing sound Q/VQCprotocols and technologies iscritical toodebris monitoring effort. ProperQ/VQC
protocols reduce the amount of work associated with back -end data management, reduce invoice reconciliation
timeframes, prevent fraud, and establish a sound dataset for future audits. Through years of experience assisting
local governments with recovering from disasters and the subsequent audits, Tetra Tech has developed industry-
leadingQA/OCu1ondardsondpmtoco|a.TheuaomfourADyWStoohoo|ogyexpeddonthaQ/VQCpnooees and
virtually eliminates ticket errors that can result from traditional manual (paper and pen) debris monitoring
operations, Due to the real-time reporting and additional information collected by our ADIVIS technology, Tetra
Tech can establish a virtual command center to audit project information as it is collected.
For example, our ADMS technology provides reporting and tracking on any missed debris piles. This allows Tetra
Tech to improve our responsiveness to resident complaints and provide real-time tracking tools to manage
removal ofthese missed piles tothe County.

CONTRACTOR INVOICE RECONCILIATION
Changes in the requirements to obtain FEMA PA have necessitated the use of an ADMS as requests must be
made using actual debris quantities in lieu of estimates in supporting d ocu rn entation. 'Tetra Tech's
RecoveryTraCTm ADMS includes a Rapid Reconciliation feature that can provide the County with fully reconciled
data in an expedited manner not available using a paper -based system. In the last three years, RecoveryTraCT11
ADMS has been used on 19 projects. In each case, we were able to provide the projects w�h actual quantity
documentation needed tosupport PAfunding.
To expedite contractor invoice reconciliation efforts, Tetra Tech requires copies of all primary debris hauler
contracts with the County. After reviewing the contracts, Tetra Tech will set up the RecoveryTraC7m database to
generate transactions for tickets issued toeach debris contractor, Tetra Tech will then meet with each primary
debris conitr,actor to review the debris contractor reports that will be generated automatically through
ReuoveryTroo`m Mobile. The debris contractor reports will provide each contractor with sufficient data to renunnUs
with their subcontractors as well as generate invoices for payment by the County. Several QA and QC checks will
be conducted on data before itisprovided to the contractor. The application ofRocovmryTroorw Mobile
significantly reduces the amount of time needed for a contractor to generate an invoice and for the subsequent
invoice reconciliation with Tetra Tech. The process for contractor invoice reconciliation YmaRuumveryTmsorm
Mobile project is as follows:
Debris contractor manually enters ticket detail into a contractor database or imports ticket databased on
Tetra Tech's debris contractor reports,
• Debris contractor generates an invoice for a specified period and submits the invoice and electronic backup to
Tetra Tech for review.
• Tetra Tech reviews the contractor data against ReooveryTnau database records,
— If no discrepancies are identified, Tetra Tech notifies the contractor that there are no discrepancies in the
dmtaon2.
— If discrepancies are identified, Tetra Tech generates a discrepancy report noting the ticket numbers and
differences between the two data sets.
~ Tetra Tech submits the discrepancy report for the contractor's review. The contractor revises their invoice
based onthe discrepancies and resubmits toTetra Tech for review,
° Once a debris, contractor's invoice has been reconciled, Tetra Tech generates a payment recommendation

Tetra Tech understands the County's specification for electronic
debris monitoring, also known as ADMS technology. In today's
technology -driven society, paper -based systems are quickly
becoming obsolete. Recognizing the migration to electronic -
based systems, our team has spent years on research and
development in an effort to streamline the debris collection
documentation process, with a focus on minimizing the cost to
our clients while improving the visibility of debris project
operations. RecoveryTracTM is the result of these efforts.
RecoveryTracTM is a scalable and fully featured disaster
management application designed specifically to address the
operational challenges faced during a disaster recovery project,
Our proprietary ADMS technology, RecoveryTracTM, meets
USACE specifications for electronic debris monitoring,
provides real-time collection of data, and offers multiple
solutions to data management, reporting, invoice reconciliation,
and project controls that cannot be achieved with a paper -
based program. Tetra Tech has also implemented
RecoveryTracTM ADMS technology on the last 19 FEMA PA -

The RecoveryTracTM Process
The process begins with trucks being certified using handheld units. A truck certification form is printed with a
unique electronic bar code and provided to the driver. Handheld units are provisioned and assigned to both
collection and disposal monitors. Collection monitors begin a ticket by scanning the truck certification bar code to
open a control ticket and then begin to record waypoints (debris pile pick-up locations) on the handheld as the
truck is loaded. When the truck is full, the collection monitor selects the debris type and scans the control ticket to
assign the load a unique number. The truck then proceeds to the disposal site. The collection data is uploaded to
a server via cellular connection, and using a process called 'Look Ahead', the collection ticket information is made
available to the disposal monitor's handheld before the truck arrives. The control ticket is provided to the driver
and taken to the debris management site where it is scanned by a disposal/tower monitor. The disposal monitor
confirms the truck and debris type and enters the load call. Finally, the disposal load ticket is printed and data is
uploaded to the system where at can be utilized in real-time reporting systems.
Even when there is no cellular connection, the handhelds continue to operate in connected mode; however, the
data is stored on the device until an Internet connection is restored. The device periodically searches for this
connection, and when services are restored, the device automatically uploads the stored data, Even under the
harshest conditions where cellular service Is not available, Tetra Tech provides ground -based satellite
data connectivity at key project locations to upload and process data as quickly as possible. Exhibit 3-17
shows the RecoveryTracTM process under normal operating conditions.

Section 3: Proposed Approach
Client Interaction
Interaction with the client is based on the principles of the National Incident Management System (NIMS).
Coordinated project communications coupled with accurate information enables effective decision making. Our
implementation of this provides our clients with the benefits of these NIMS principles:
• Common Operating Picture
— Tetra Tech's real-time data sharing information portal. When the client, debris removal contractor,
and the monitoring firm have the same accurate information, their ability to execute efficiently is markedly
improved. The result is a much more efficient completion of project objectives.
• Interoperability
— The information portability across disparate systems is the true power of Tetra Tech's client interaction
and communication system. It allows integration with existing systems to provide better understanding
and coordination among organizations.
• Reliability, Scalability, and Portability
— Documented procedures and protocols enable scalability without loss in fidelity and quality of work
product. When in -process quality controls and team cross -training are added, the ability to tolerate faults
without affecting outcome is substantially increased.
• Resiliency and Redundancy
- Experience operating in disasters enables Tetra Tech to design systems and processes to be able to
withstand loss of infrastructure and key personnel yet maintain client expectations for
information. This is accomplished not only in technology design, but in effective procedural protocols and
our risk mitigation component.
Tetra Tech's project managers use methods specifically aimed at increasing the success of the team by engaging
in collaborative problem solving and issue resolution. By approaching others with professional mutual
respect, they form relationships that allow close coordination between the client and other contractors, ultimately
improving communication, coordination, and efficiency of the project.

Tetra Tech and the County have both faced several challenges in managing multiple contractors while responding
to various influencers with sometimes conflicting priorities during the execution of a debris removal project. Tetra
Tech approaches contractor management from the following four focus areas tightly aligned with the County's
priorities and direction.
Communication and Progress Reporting
Clear assignment of resources based on capabilities and priorities set by the County in daily meetings. Progress
reporting is automated using real-time field data collection with advanced GIS processing, key features include:
• Field supervisors and monitors continually identify debris hot spots and report completion per the daily
operation plan.
• Automatically generated progress metrics such as road miles completed and percent completed by debris
management zone.
• Real-time asset location and progress is made available in the County EOC, War Room, contractor
dispatcher, and others as authorized by the County.

Allocation and Equitable Distribution
Efficient utilization of the available contractors is critical to effective contractor management. With the challenges
presented by factors such as unequal distribution of debris, traffic conditions, and drive distance to the debris
staging sites, equitable assignment of contractors to debris grids is an important consideration. Tetra Tech uses
several tools to accomplish this:
• Debris models provide debris concentration by debris zone
• Certified equipment available, including capacity and vehicle size
• GIS projected and actual' truck round trip time

found the combination of utilizing both hiring centers and local workforce offices to be ideal for rapidly staffing a
project.
Field Staff Training Program
Newly hired employees are responsible for the proper
documentation of eligible disaster -related debris. To properly
instruct newly hired employees, Tetra Tech has developed a
training program that includes training modules specific
to Miami -Dade County (including training on areas in the
County that are not eligible for FEMA reimbursement like the Redlands and certain municipal roadways
that the County is not responsible for debris collection). These modules are complete with the information
required to facilitate accurate field monitoring and RecoveryTracm4 ADMS irnplementation. The training modules
include qualifying tools to promote the retention of the training material. This will help Tetra Tech select and
promote the most qualified personnel for the monitoring task. Training modules will include truck certification, field
monitor, debris staging site monitor, leaner/hanger monitor, stump monitor, backfill monitor, and supervising
monitor,

Training will consist of two phases. For Phase 1 - Classroom Training,, Tetra Tech has developed a fine-tuned
program to rapidly train and equip new employees and prepare them for the requirements of the positions they
will fill. Combined with experienced instructors and Miami -Dade County customized training modules mentioned
above, the new employees will be instructed in a classroom setting and continually screened for suitability before
being allowed to proceed to the next phase. Topics include the following:
• Monitoring responsibilities and identifying eligible disaster -related debris
• Using ADMS equipment for field documentation
• Health, safety, and use of issued PPE
• Advanced topics as required, including Truck Certifier, Disposal Monitor, and Hazard Removal Monitor
In Phase 2 - Practical Training, the new employee will be provided with an opportunity to demonstrate how the
issued safety equipment is worn properly and how to recognize issues with potentially unsafe conditions, debris
eligibility, and other scenarios the monitor may face. Each of the monitors must demonstrate proficiency with
recognition of the problem and be able to correctly respond to several simulated events they could face while
monitoring.
Retention and Reinforcement
Every monitor and supervisor is provided with a quick reference card that succinctly describes the expectations,
duties, and procedures for the role they are assigned. Throughout the day, supervisors continually inspect and
reinforce the expectations to team members by:
• Pre -work, beginning -of -day briefings to discuss safety and operational lessons learned from previous day
• Unannounced on -site visits to inspect and verify that monitors are following proper safety and monitoring
protocols
• End -of -day debrief with each monitor to review the day's activities and discuss any potential issues
encountered
Careful selection of monitors, effective training, and regular supervision are the keys to successful execution of
the debris removal plan and rapid removal of debris across the County.

N|K3G and Incident Command System (|CS)ho help confirm that the Coonty'o CEK4P and disaster debris
management plan meet federal standards for emergency operations.
Following an emergency, it important for the County to capture the lessons learned from the incident and develop
corrective actions to update and revise the CEMP. Tetra Tech has provided after action reporting and
improvement planning support for clients following major disasters throughout the country, including most recently
the South Napa Earthquake and the Atlanta Ice Storm in 2014. Tetra Tech uses guidance from the Department of
Homeland Security to properly document areas for concern, develop recommendations for improvement, and
assign etimeline and task lead responsible for corrective actions. Upon request bythe County, Tetra Tech will
provide planning support 0aupdate the Ceunty^yCEMP.
Hazard Mitigation Planning Services
Tetra Tech's hazard mitigation planning skills include the ability to successfully manage complex, multi -task, and
multidisciplinary projects, often under expedited schedules and tight budgets. We are thoroughly familiar with the
mitigation planning and approval process required by DMA 2000, and we understand the evaluation criteria FEMA
will use to assess and approve the Miami -Dade mitigation program. Tetra Tech already has templates, tools, and
resources designed specifically for mitigation planning projects, which will provide Miami -Dade and its planning
partners with astreamlined process and additional cost savings.
Tetra Tech has completed dozens ofsingle- and multi -jurisdictional hazard mitigation planning projects. Tetra
Tech has prepared or updated local Inazard mitigation pianning projects covering more than 1,000 participating
jurisdictions nationwide. This work has been performed for a broad range of clients and environments, from highly
urbanized to predominantly rural, from coastal plains to mountainous watersheds, from cities with vast staff and
resources to villages with few staff and resources, Many of these projects were similar to this project for Miami -
Dade in that they involved developing mitigation strategies through ofaci|itcted process in roepnnms *nmfederal
mandate and coordinating with local governments with varying degrees of capability,
Tetra Tech provides unmatched Community Rating System (CRS) expertJse, Tetra Tech's approach to hazard
nlit|gafiun planning projects includes maximizing the CRS credit potential furjurisdictionm participating or
considering participation in the CRS program. Our standard approach evolved from the CRS 1O-step planning
process. Tetra Tech is a national leader in providing technical support to communities wishing to maximize their
CF(S potential and consequently reduce their residential and commercial National Flood Insurance Program flood
insurance premium rates by the maximum percentage possible. We currently have on-ca0 oontraotovviththnee of
the four highest -rated communities in the notion:

Hazard Mitigation Assistance Program Application and Implementation
Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) includes post -disaster mitigation programs like the Section 404 Hazard
Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), which provides mitigation grants to communities affected by disasters. in
addition to Section 404 HMGP grants, FEMA also offers competitive non -disaster annual reoccurring Pre -Disaster
and Flood Mitigation Assistance funding assistance through HMA program where the mitigation opportunities are
described in the 2613 Unified Hazard Mitigation Guidance. These non -disaster grants offer funding for a wide
variety of cost effective mitigation funding opportunities to state and local governments. At the County's request,
the Tetra Tech team will assist with identifying future mitigation grant opportunities to supplement the disaster -
related mitigation programs. Projects that are typically reimbursable under the HMA program include
acquisition/demolition programs, home elevations, and minor flood repair projects, Tetra Tech is prepared to
assist the County with HMA services, including preparing applications, conducting outreach to potential property
owners, developing application scopes, assessing cost-effectiveness (cost -benefit analysis), regulatory
clearances, grant implementation, and audit and closeout services. Currently, Tetra Tech is administering Boulder
County's HMGP program in response to their flooding event of 2013. Our team also served as the lead FMA
contractor for Galveston County, Texas, for residential elevations following Hurricane Ike and administered the
FMA program for the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Public Assistance Application Services
The federal government provides a number of disaster -specific grant programs that aid a community's social and
economic recovery following a catastrophic incident. Our grant management consulting services provide the
County with a team of professionals who are well versed in each of these programs to help County staff
navigate these funding sources.
Our approach includes immediately deploying our disaster grant management consultants to work in concert with
our debris management program staff, We believe that capturing the data necessary to support reimbursement
claims early and in great detail avoids costly deobligations by federal and state auditors in the future.
Tetra Tech will focus on working directly with the County as the applicant's representative to explore the
opportunities for receiving the maximum benefits from the FEMA PA Grant Program while minimizing the out-of-
pocket costs.
Projects that are typically reimbursable under the FEMA PA Grant Program include debris removal and damage
to roads, bridges, and other public facilities, along with overtime for employees engaged in response activities.
Tasks to be conducted by Tetra Tech may include the following:
• Meetings and Briefings. Attend and participate in meetings with FEMA, such as applicant's briefing, kickoff
meeting, site visits, and status meetings for the program or specific projects.
Site Identification. Identify and generate a list of damaged sites for specific projects,
• Cost Estimation. Develop and refine the total damage cost estimate for specific projects.
• Data Collection. Collect damage -related data, invoices, estimates, and supporting documentation for specific
projects.
• Site Visits. If necessary, visit, survey, and assess damage sites.
• PW Formulation and Development. Tasks associated with developing a PW include site -specific damage
descriptions, project scoping, estimating/quantifying project costs, collecting supporting documentation, and
calculating allowable fringe or equipment rates for a specific site.
• Alternate/Mitigation Opportunity Determinations. Identify and collect data on Section 406 mitigation
opportunities and alternate or improved projects prior to reconstruction at a damaged site.
• Appeals Support. Tetra Tech will work with the County to exercise the legal right to appeal decisions and
judgments made by FEMA or the State of North Carolina if resolution cannot be reached. Support for this task
may include first and second appeal assistance.

Public Information and Outreach Services
Tetra Tech has the capability to provide technical experbse to assist the County with a variety of public
information needs, Public messages must meet the needs, of the community to ensure all populations receive and
understand critical information. Tetra Tech will coordinate with the County's public information officer to ensure
the correct information regard'ing debris operations is provided to the public in a format that is accessible to the
Coun1y'adiverse population.
Public information for debris operations should focus on two components: safety for handling debris and proper
set -out procedures. Many hurricane -related injuries and deaths occur after the incident because citizens do not
safely address disaster damage and debris. Some of these deaths and injuries could be avoided if re�idents were
provided timely information on how to safely address disas,ter-related damage totheir homes. Public information
for residents should include safety precautions for assessing their damaged homes and operating dangerous
equipment to remove debris, In addition to safety instructions, proper set -out procedures are critical toensure that
the County can maximize recycling opportunities, reduce impacts to landfill capacity, and maintain efficient debris
removal operations. Pubfiu information should include instructions for residents to properly separate their debris
streams such as HHW, electric waste, construction and demolition debris, vegetative debris, and white goods.
Public information should provide residents with specific instructions for separating and bundling their debris and
include any information for citizen drop-off locations.
Public infommaton can be provided in several formats. in 2Q07, we provided a debris management hoffinefor the
City of Houston following Hurr�ane Ike. Concerned citizens could call into the hotline for information regarding
proper set -out procedures, status of debris operations, and tips for safe handling of debris. Tetra Tech also
maintains templates ofemergency public [nfonnotion messages related to debris in both Spanish and English that
can quickly be Customized to meet the County's needs, As ernergency management practitioners, we are also
