3 Solicitation Attachments

All materials submitted as part of a response to a solicitation are subject to Arizona public records law and will be disclosed if there is an appropriate public records request at the time of or after the award of the contract. Recognizing there may be materials included in a solicitation response that are proprietary or a trade secret, a process is set out in A.A.C. R2-7-103

(copy attached) that will allow qualifying materials to be designated as confidential and excluded from disclosure. For purposes of this process the definition of “trade secret” will be the same as that set out in A.A.C. R2-7-101(52).

Complete this form and return it with your Offer along with the appropriate supporting information to assist the State in making its determination as to whether any of the materials submitted as part of your Offer should be designated confidential because the material is proprietary or a trade secret and therefore not subject to disclosure.

STATE WILL NOT CONSIDER ANY MATERIAL IN YOUR OFFER “CONFIDENTIAL” UNLESS DESIGNATED ON THIS FORM.

Check one of the following – if neither is checked, State will assume that as equivalent to “DOES NOT”:

This response DOES NOT contain proprietary or trade secret information. I understand that my entire response will become public record in accordance with A.A.C. R2-7-C317.

X This response DOES contain trade secret information because it contains information that:

1. Is a formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique or process, AND

2. Derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; AND

3. Is the subject of efforts by myself or my organization that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy.

NOTE: Failure to attach an explanation may result in a determination that the information does not meet the statutory trade secret definition. All information that does not meet the definition of trade secret as defined by A.A.C. R2-7-101(52) will become public in accordance with A.A.C. R2-7-C317. State may make its own determination on materials in accordance with A.A.C. R2-7-103.

If State agrees with Offeror’s designation of trade secret or confidentiality and the determination is challenged, the undersigned hereby agrees to cooperate and support the defense of the determination with all interested parties, including legal counsel or other necessary assistance.

By submitting this response, Offeror agrees that the entire Offer, including confidential, trade secret and proprietary information may be shared with an evaluation committee and technical advisors during the evaluation process. Offeror agrees to indemnify and hold State, its agents and employees, harmless from any claims or causes of action relating to

State’s withholding of information based upon reliance on the above representations, including the payment of all costs and attorney fees incurred by State in defending such an action.

Offeror Response:

Arizona Environmental Specialists (AES) is a small business privately owned by Rodney Hoffman III. AES has a reputation of offering reasonable costs at large company quality. AES was founded in 2007 and furnishes its clients with comprehensive asbestos, lead, and mold services from inspection to abatement management (project oversight). AES’s certified specialists perform building inspections, conduct air monitoring, analyze samples, develop asbestos removal specification, perform abatement project monitoring, as well as prepare Operations and Maintenance (O&M) plans.

AES is a consulting firm specializing in environmental, health and safety, and construction management.

With over 25 years of combined experience, AES offers an extensive background in environmental, safety, and construction management services.

AES’s personnel are trained under the requirements of the EPA in both lead and asbestos. Each employee in the field possess all Asbestos Hazard and Emergency Response Act (AHERA) certifications, and full documentation of each certification is provided in each client’s highly detailed report. Our specialists are often used as part of a team for performance of Environmental Site Assessments which an asbestos or lead survey is required. Our asbestos, lead, and mold personnel work throughout the State of Arizona performing asbestos, lead, and mold surveys and managing abatement projects.

AES’s full service approach towards asbestos, lead, and mold management is described in the sections which follow. This approach enables AES to efficiently assist clients in addressing the problems and liabilities associated with hazardous material identification, assessment, and removal.

Since inception, AES has been, and remains committed to the highest standards of Environmental, Safety and Occupation Health, and sustainability for overall client risk and liability reduction services. To date, AES has worked with a multitude of clients such as individual homeowners, to large fortune 500 companies such as Lockheed Martin, Honeywell, Thunderbird International School of Management, and State and

Federal agencies including Arizona State University and Luke Air Force Base (AFB). As a result, AES has developed a strong reputation within the asbestos, lead, and mold consulting industry for integrity with its clientele.

As and added value of service to its clients, AES offers onsite PCM sample reading by its NIOSH 587 PCM certified employees. This is not for all projects, but when the emergency response calls for a quick preliminary air clearance, AES can provide this added value onsite. This may allow tear down of a containment and provide the client the ability to reopen a space in a short amount of time. The PCM samples would also be sent to an independent laboratory for an additional reading for proper documentation and to ease any conflict of interest.

AES is conveniently centrally located in Tempe Arizona. Its proximity to the US- 60 and I-10 allows technicians to respond to the City of Phoenix with minutes notice. Each staff member is provided a company vehicle outfitted with all necessary tools to provide the COP necessary services. Staff members are able to respond to any City requests from there residents as well with all the resources needed to accomplish the task.
