The services will be used to provide debris monitoring, management, recovery, and consulting services to support the oversight and management of debris removal and processing contractors in preparation and following a declared emergency activation. This includes disaster debris monitoring and management of debris generated from the public right-of-ways, drainage areas/canals, waterways, and other public, eligible, or designated areas. Cost will also be tracked and monitored in accordance with state and federal mandates. Total cost is estimated at $750,000 but may vary depending on the severity of the event.

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. Proposers submitting less than the highest participation were then scored on a prorated scale based on the submitted percentage of participation compared to the highest percentage submitted. The recommended proposer submitted 5% WBE participation using Symbioscity.

The contract was originally approved by City Council on September 1, 2016. This is the third of three renewal options available.  The contract term shall be January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.
