The best way to demonstrate the qualifications, knowledge, and experience of CrowderGulf is to provide summaries of past performance and references to support our work, which we have provided below. CrowderGulfs ability to successfully manage multiple contracts, within client timelines and FEMA guidelines, is highlighted in the following excerpts of past experience following major natural disasters.A Summary Chart is included at the end of each year's work that shows the varied scopes of work that were completed. 2018 Hurricanes Florence and illiiclZa � Hurricane Florence Hurricane Florence, a powerful and deadly Category 1 Hurricane took aim at the Borth Carolina coastline in September, 2018. This deadly hurricane claimed 55 lives as it swept across the state. Hurricane Florence brought devastating rainfall accumulations which caused flooding not only to the large stretch of coastline but also created ' widespread inland flooding. Many of the state's major rivers and tributaries reached record level height as 30+ inches of rainfall drenched the area and closed major interstates and roadways for weeks. CrowderGulf was activated on 18 pre-event contracts across the state of North Carolina which involved the removal and reduction of over 2.1 million cubic yards of debris, the removal of approximately 50,000 lean ers and hangers and the management and maintenance of 16 debris management sites. In addition,CrowderGulf provided sand and beach restoration to North Top Sail Beach, Oak Island and Bald Head Island. While working in North Carolina, CrowderGulf experienced contract requirements which presented their own unique challenges. Damage assessments were hampered by non-reseeding floodwaters causing the closure of many roads and isolating communities. CrowderGulf assisted communities with damage assessment by providing drone flyovers into flooded areas and working with local officials to identify alternate debris management sites not affected by floodwaters. The community of Bald Head Island had its own set of unique challenges. Bald Head Island is an island off the coast of North Carolina separated from the mainland by the Cape Fear River, accessible only by ferry boat. The challenge of this contract involved the access of equipment to the island and the means of disposal of storm generated debris. CrowderGulf worked with Bald Head Island to provide the debris collection and disposal services by setting up a debris reduction site on the island for the vegetative debris. At the vegetative debris site all material was reduced to mulch and then given back to the residents and local landscape businesses for residential use. CrowderGulf secured barges to transport the remaining materials, which included C&D and Household Hazardous Waste(HHW), across the Cape Fear River to final disposal sites.While contracts such as this one can present special challenges,so does the addition of another land falling hurricane. 70
