Recommend approval to renew an annual contract for debris monitoring and oversight services with Witt O'Brien’s.

These services are used in preparation for and in response to a declared emergency activation. Total costs of services will vary due to the nature and severity of disaster events. The recommended proposer’s average hourly rate for these services is $46.13 per hour. This is based on the average hourly rates for the following positions: Project manager, operations manager, GIS analyst, field supervisor, debris site/tower monitor, billing/invoice analyst, project assistant, and field/crew coordinator.

No numerical MWBE goals were established for this project, but proposers were encouraged to achieve the highest possible MWBE participation and were allotted a maximum of 10 points in the evaluation criteria if the firm submitted the participation of a combination of prime and sub-contractors. The recommended proposer submitted 5% WBE participation using Symbioscity.

This is the first of three available renewal options. The contract term will be from October 26, 2017 through October 25, 2018.
