General Capability Questions

Provide a brief overview of your company, including years of experience in disaster debris removal, types of services offered, and geographic areas of operation.

Describe your experience in managing large-scale disaster debris removal projects including project size, scope, volume of debris managed, timelines, etc.

How quickly can your company mobilize resources once issued a task order, and what is your anticipated ramp-up schedule?

How does your company handle the logistics of debris removal in multiple locations simultaneously?

What equipment do you have available for disaster debris removal (ex. trucks, grinders, loaders, etc.)

and do you currently have any staged in multiple locations? If so, where?

What is the size and structure of your typical disaster response team?

What percentage of your workforce is typically subcontracted?

What percentage of your workforce is subcontracted to small business?

How does your company ensure compliance with federal, state, and local environmental regulations during debris removal?

Have you faced any regulatory compliance issues during past projects? If so, how were they resolved?

How do you use technology to enhance efficiency and accuracy in debris removal and tracking?

Are you utilizing any innovative methods or equipment to improve debris management or reduce costs?

Are you utilizing any innovative methods, technology, or modeling to estimate debris quantities at the beginning of a disaster?

How do you manage issues related to workforce availability during a disaster event?

Please describe any experience you have implementing the Automated Debris Management System (ADMS)? Are there any improvements that should be made to ADMS? If so, please explain.

Regionalization

The current Debris Management ACI regionalization structure is depicted below. USACE would like to revisit the structuring of these regions to maximize capability and capacity sharing.

Would industry prefer a SATOC approach with fewer regions than the current structure, or a MATOC approach with opportunity to compete at the task order level?

Would industry prefer two different ACI contracts for 1) wildfire removal and 2) right-of-way debris or maintain the current combined ACI approach?

Is a SATOC with the current number regions sufficient or would fewer regions be better? Explain.

Please describe any anticipated challenges should USACE establish an ACI region dedicated to outside of the continental United States (OCONUS).

Is there another approach/course of action to meet this requirement that you would like to share?

Cost & Pricing Structure

What factors impact your ability to provide pricing on an ACI Debris Removal contract/task order or similar contract (ex. location, type of debris, etc.)?

Would you foresee any issues or concerns proposing FFP prices for a SATOC versus MATOC?

How can USACE improve scope development for the ACI Debris Removal contracts that would provide better pricing opportunities considering the variation in disaster response (ex. Wildfire Private Property Debris Removal, Hurricane Right-of-Way Debris Removal, etc.)?

Any other comment or concerns that you would like USACE to know?
