<br />Neel-Schaffer is pleased to present our qualifications to Orange County to provide Disaster Debris
<br />Management and Monitoring Services. In accordance with Orange County requirements, we are enclosing
<br />one (1}original and one (1) copy, of our statement of qualifications that outlines our capabilities to provide the
<br />requested services as identified in your Request for Proposal.
<br />Neel-Schaffer has the experience and capability to provide debris removal monitoring services for Orange
<br />County. As shown in our proposal, Neel-Schaffer has debris management /monitoring experience with
<br />numerous communities following disasters both large and small. Our recent Hurricane Ike experience
<br />includes monitoring of municipal ROW debris removal, cleaning more than a million cubic yards of beach
<br />sand, and vesseUmarine debris removal from 350,000 acres of bays and the Gulf of Mexico. Neel-Schaffer
<br />has monitored the removal of more than ten million cubic yards of debris from public and private property in
<br />more than 35 communities, following hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, wind storms, and severe winter storms.
<br />We have monitoring experience on all types of disaster debris, including vegetative debris, C&D debris,
<br />hazardous trees, cars, vessels, marine debris, channel debris, hazardous waste, asbestos, white goods,
<br />contaminated debris, and beach sand cleaning.
<br />Neel-Schaffer understands the importance of this project for debris removal monitoring services in Orange
<br />County. Our experience in cleanup efforts to date has shown that securing qualified personnel, providing
<br />timely responses, and maintaining proper documentation are the keys to the reconstruction from the
<br />devastation left by disasters. Neel-Schaffer provides qualified managers and supervisors, who will hire local
<br />residents to be debris site monitors. Debris site monitors will be trained on aspects of debris eligibility,
<br />recognizing ROW, properly completing documentation, and safety. They will be provided personal protection
<br />equipment, e.g., hard hat, safety vest, and safety glasses, as needed.
<br />Neel-Schaffer debris removal projects have included both public and private properly as well as structure
<br />demolition and other specialized monitoring: We understand the issues/challenges (private properties, FEMA
<br />rules/regulations, public involvement, etc.), have an organized approach to the project, and are prepared to
<br />mobilize and begin work immediately.
<br />Neel-Schaffer is committed to minimizing costs to Orange County through competitive hourly rates along with
<br />careful management of working hours. We will work closely with Orange County in developing staffing levels
<br />to ensure adequate oversight and documentation of the project, while minimizing costs to the public. We
<br />take very seriously the challenge of managing a quick, effective debris removal project, while maximizing
<br />federal and state reimbursement.
<br />Mr. Nelson Lucius, P.E., Officer-In-Charge and Mr. Derrick Tucker, P.E., Project Manager have played key
<br />roles on many Neel-Schaffer debris projects over the past five years. Mr. Lucius will serve as the Officer-in-
<br />Charge on this project and has extensive emergency management and debris management experience
<br />following numerous hurricanes and other disasters. Mr. Tucker has extensive emergency management
<br />experience including Hurricanes Ike, Rita and Katrina and as a FEMA representative.
