The scope includes clearing debris from public rights-of-way, drainage systems, and waterways; managing temporary debris sites; demolishing condemned structures; removing hazardous materials and white goods; and providing training for disaster preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation phases. A non-mandatory pre-proposal conference is scheduled for March 5, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. via Microsoft Teams, with a question submission deadline of March 16, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. and a proposal due date of March 25, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The contract term is three years with potential extensions of up to three additional twelve-month periods for a cumulative maximum of seventy-two months, subject to City Council approval. Selected contractors must commence performance within twelve hours of receiving a Notice to Proceed and maintain available emergency resources.

The procurement requires proposers to demonstrate a minimum of five successfully completed projects involving removal and processing of over 400,000 cubic yards of debris for city or county governments following federally declared events since June 1, 2004. Evaluation criteria allocate 20 points for references and financial stability, 10 points for staff experience, 30 points for the debris management operational plan, and 40 points for the price proposal. Contractors must provide performance bonds and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage with minimum limits of $1,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence and are subject to liquidated damages of $250 per calendar day for delays beyond agreed completion dates. The contract is funded through FEMA's public assistance program, with all payments contingent upon services requested and approved by the City through written Notices to Proceed; invoices must comply with the Local Government Prompt Payment Act with payment due within thirty days of receipt and departmental acceptance. Contractors must comply with extensive federal requirements including Equal Employment Opportunity provisions, Davis-Bacon Act wage standards (if applicable), Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, E-Verify employment eligibility verification, Title VI Civil Rights Act compliance, domestic preference for procurements, and debarment and convicted vendor list certifications. Living wage provisions require a minimum of $15.00 per hour for service contracts exceeding $100,000 annually.

To the extent that such Orders and regulations apply and require the inclusion of any language into the Contract (including but not limited to the language contained in 41 CFR 60-1.4(b) and 60-4.3 if required), such language shall be deemed included and made a part of the Contract as if fully reproduced therein. Accordingly, in compliance with the regulation at 41 C.F.R. Part 60-1.4(b):

During the performance of this contract, the Contractor agrees as follows:

(1) The contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. The contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited to the following:

Employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.

(2) The contractor will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on behalf of the contractor, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.

(3) The contractor will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because such employee or applicant has inquired about, discussed, or disclosed the compensation of the employee or applicant or another employee or applicant. This provision shall not apply to instances in which an employee who has access to the compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of such employee's essential job functions discloses the compensation of such other employees or applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to such information, unless such disclosure is in response to a formal complaint or charge, in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or is consistent with the contractor's legal duty to furnish information.

(4) The contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which he has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to be provided advising the said labor union or workers' representatives of the contractor's commitments under this section, and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment.

(5) The contractor will comply with all provisions of the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor.

(6) The contractor will furnish all information and reports required by rules, https://www.law.cornell.edu/definitions/index.php?width=840&amp%3Bheight=800&amp%3Biframe=true&amp%3Bdef_id=11ed7b108f4f698848db076411872c73&amp%3Bterm_occur=26&amp%3Bterm_src=Title%3A41%3ASubtitle%3AB%3AChapter%3A60%3APart%3A60-1%3ASubpart%3AA%3A60-1.4 regulations, and orders of the Secretary of Labor, or pursuant thereto, and will permit access to his books, records, and accounts by the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with such rules, regulations, and orders.

(7) In the event of the contractor's noncompliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of this contract or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this contract may be canceled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the contractor may be declared ineligible for further Government contracts or federally assisted construction contracts in accordance with rule, regulation, or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise provided by law.

(8) The contractor will include the portion of the sentence immediately preceding paragraph (1) and the provisions of paragraphs (1) through (8) in every subcontract or purchase order unless exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the Secretary of Labor, so that such provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor or vendor. The contractor will take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as the administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance:

Provided, however, that in the event a contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the administering agency, the contractor may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.

The applicant further agrees that it will be bound by the above equal opportunity clause with respect to its own employment practices when it participates in federally assisted construction work: Provided, That if the applicant so participating is a State or local government, the above equal opportunity clause is not applicable to any agency, instrumentality or subdivision of such government which does not participate in work on or under the contract.

The applicant agrees that it will assist and cooperate actively with the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor in obtaining the compliance of contractors and subcontractors with the equal opportunity clause and the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor, that it will furnish the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor such information as they may require for the supervision of such compliance, and that it will otherwise assist the administering agency in the discharge of the agency's primary responsibility for securing compliance.

The applicant further agrees that it will refrain from entering into any contract or contract modification subject to the foregoing regulations with a contractor debarred from, or who has not demonstrated eligibility for, Government contracts and federally assisted construction contracts pursuant to the foregoing regulations and will carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of the equal opportunity clause as may be imposed upon contractors and subcontractors by the administering agency or the Secretary of Labor pursuant to any applicable regulation. In addition, the applicant agrees that if it fails or refuses to comply with these undertakings, the administering agency may take any or all of the following actions: Cancel, terminate, or suspend in whole or in part this grant (contract, loan, insurance, guarantee); refrain from extending any further assistance to the applicant under the program with respect to which the failure or refund occurred until satisfactory assurance of future compliance has been received from such applicant; and refer the case to the Department of Justice for appropriate legal proceedings.

7. Anti-Kickback. If the Contract is a construction contract in excess of two thousand dollars ($2,000.00) and if required by the applicable federal grant program legislation, Contractor and its subcontractors shall comply with and shall take no action which would violate the Copeland "Anti- Kickback" Act (40 U.S.C. 3145) as supplemented in Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 3).

8. Davis-Bacon Act. If the Contract is a construction contract in excess of two thousand dollars https://www.law.cornell.edu/definitions/index.php?width=840&amp%3Bheight=800&amp%3Biframe=true&amp%3Bdef_id=22edf9acbb0b836eba994727b86adedf&amp%3Bterm_occur=16&amp%3Bterm_src=Title%3A41%3ASubtitle%3AB%3AChapter%3A60%3APart%3A60-1%3ASubpart%3AA%3A60-1.4 https://www.law.cornell.edu/definitions/index.php?width=840&amp%3Bheight=800&amp%3Biframe=true&amp%3Bdef_id=22edf9acbb0b836eba994727b86adedf&amp%3Bterm_occur=16&amp%3Bterm_src=Title%3A41%3ASubtitle%3AB%3AChapter%3A60%3APart%3A60-1%3ASubpart%3AA%3A60-1.4

($2,000.00) and if required by the applicable federal grant program legislation, Contractor and its subcontractors shall comply with the provisions of the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a to 276a-7) as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 5). For purposes of clarification and mutual understanding, the Davis-Bacon Act does not apply to debris removal agreements unless done in conjunction with a construction project.

9. Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 3701-3708). If the Contract is in excess of $100,000 and involves the employment of mechanics or laborers, Contractor shall comply with 40 U.S.C. 3702 and 3704, as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 5). Under 40 U.S.C. 3702 of the Act, a contractor is required to compute the wages of every mechanic and laborer on the basis of a standard work week of 40 hours. Work in excess of the standard work week is permissible provided that the worker is compensated at a rate of not less than one and a half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in the work week. The requirements of 40 U.S.C. 3704 are applicable to construction work and provide that no laborer or mechanic must be required to work in surroundings or under working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous. These requirements do not apply to the purchases of supplies or materials or articles ordinarily available on the open market, or contracts for transportation or transmission of intelligence. If applicable as set forth above, Contractor shall comply with the following provisions:

Compliance with the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act.

(1) Overtime requirements. No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the contract work which may require or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall require or permit any such laborer or mechanic in any workweek in which he or she is employed on such work to work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such laborer or mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of forty hours in such workweek.

(2) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(1) of this section the contractor and any subcontractor responsible therefor shall be liable for the unpaid wages. In addition, such contractor and subcontractor shall be liable to the United States (in the case of work done under contract for the District of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory), for liquidated damages. Such liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer or mechanic, including watchmen and guards, employed in violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, in the sum of $26 for each calendar day on which such individual was required or permitted to work in excess of the standard workweek of forty hours without payment of the overtime wages required by the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(1) of this section.

(3) Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages. The City shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld, from any moneys payable on account of work performed by the contractor or subcontractor under any such contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, which is held by the same prime contractor, such sums as may be determined to be necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such contractor or subcontractor for unpaid wages and liquidated damages as provided in the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(2) of this section.

(4) Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses set forth in paragraph (b)(1) through (4) of this section and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with the clauses set forth in paragraphs (b)(1) through (4) of this section.

In addition, for contracts that are only subject to Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act and are not subject to the other statutes in 29 C.F.R. § 5.1:

(1) The contractor or subcontractor shall maintain payrolls and basic payroll records during the course of the work and shall preserve them for a period of three years from the completion of the contract for all laborers and mechanics, including guards and watchmen, working on the contract. Such records shall contain the name and address of each such employee, social security number, correct classifications, hourly rates of wages paid, daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions made, and actual wages paid; and

(2) Records to be maintained under this provision shall be made available by the contractor or subcontractor for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the Department of Labor, and the contractor or subcontractor will permit such representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job.

10. Reporting Requirements; Patent and Copyrights. Contractor and its subcontractors shall comply with and the Contract is subject to the requirements and regulations of FEMA, and the State of Florida, Department of Community Affairs, pertaining to:

(i) reporting;

(ii) patent rights with respect to any discovery or invention which arises or is developed in the course of or under the Contract; and

(iii) to copyrights and rights in data, applicable to contracts subject to payment or reimbursement from funding made pursuant to a Disaster Relief Funding Agreement (or similar agreement) with the City. The federal awarding agency (and, if applicable, any intermediary state agency) and the City and their agents and contractors shall have a royalty-free, nonexclusive, perpetual, fully paid, and irrevocable license to reproduce, publish, or otherwise use and to authorize others to use, for governmental purposes (i) the copyright in any work developed, and the patent in any inventions produced, under a grant, subgrant, or contract under a grant or subgrant, and (ii) any rights of copyright to which a grantee, subgrantee or a contractor purchases ownership with grant support. The City, State of Florida, and federal government shall have the right to obtain, reproduce, publish, or otherwise use the data produced under a Federal award, and authorize others to receive, reproduce, publish or otherwise use such data for federal and other governmental purposes. Contractor is subject to applicable regulations governing patents and inventions, including governmentwide regulations issued by the Department of Commerce at 37 CFR Part 401.

Contractor agrees that all patent rights accruing under or in connection with the performance of this Agreement are hereby reserved to the State of Florida; and any and all copyrights accruing under or in connection with the performance of this Agreement are hereby transferred to the State of Florida; provided however if Contractor has a pre-existing patent or copyright, the Contractor shall retain all rights and entitlements to that pre-existing patent or copyright unless the Contract provides otherwise. If any discovery or invention is developed in the course of or as a result of work or services performed under the Contract, or in any connected with it, Contractor shall refer the discovery or invention to the City for a determination whether the State of Florida will seek patent protection in the State’s name. Any patent rights accruing under or in connection with the performance of this Contract are reserved to the State of Florida.

If any books, manuals, films or other copyrightable materials are produced, the Contractor shall notify the City.

11. Access to Records. Contractor and its subcontractors agree to provide the State of Florida and its agencies (including but not limited to the State of Florida Division of Emergency Management), the City of Orlando, the FEMA Administrator, any requesting Federal agency, the Comptroller General of the United States, the Inspectors General, or any of their duly authorized representatives access to any books, documents, papers, and records of the Contractor and its subcontractors which are directly pertinent to the Contract for the purpose of making audits, examination, excerpts, and transcriptions. The Contractor and its subcontractors agree to permit any of the foregoing parties to reproduce by any means whatsoever or to copy excerpts and transcriptions as reasonably needed. The Contractor and its subcontractors agree to provide the FEMA Administrator or his authorized representatives access to construction or other work sites pertaining to the work being completed under the Contract. In compliance with the Disaster Recovery Act of 2018, the City and the Contractor acknowledge and agree that no language in this Contract is intended to prohibit audits or internal reviews by the FEMA Administrator or the Comptroller General of the United States. These rights of access also includes timely and reasonable access to the Contractor’s personnel for the purpose of interview and discussion related to such documents and information. The rights of access in this section are not limited to the required retention period but last as long as the records are retained.

12. Record Retention. Unless a different period is required by law (or the City otherwise notifies Contractor that such period is extended by the federal awarding agency, cognizant agency for audit, oversight agency for audit, cognizant agency for indirect costs, a pass through entity, or the City as the sub-grantee of federal funds), Contractor and its subcontractors shall retain all records related to the Contract for five (5) years after receipt of final payment under the Contract and all other pending matters related to the Contract are closed. If any litigation, claim or audit is started before the expiration of the five (5) year period or other applicable retention period, the records shall be retained until all litigation, claims or audit findings involving the records have been resolved. Notwithstanding the preceding, to the extent allowed by law for work performed related to a disaster event for which the City has applied for reimbursement or funding from FEMA, all records shall be retained for the longer of the period set forth above or five (5) years from the date of final closeout of the disaster by the federal agency.

Contractor will report each violation to the City, and understands and agrees that the City will, in turn, report each violation as required to assure notification to FEMA and the appropriate Regional Office of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Contractor and its subcontractors shall incorporate these requirements into all subcontracts in excess of one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000.00).

14. Energy Efficiency. Contractor and its subcontractors shall comply with all mandatory standards and policies relating to energy efficiency which are contained in the State of Florida energy conservation plan issued in compliance with the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6201).

15. E-Verify Program. The Contractor shall utilize the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s E- Verify system, in accordance with the terms governing use of the system, to verify the employment eligibility of all new employees hired by the Contractor during the term of the Contract. In addition, Contractor shall require any subcontractors performing work or providing services pursuant to the Contract to verify the employment eligibility of all new employees hired by the subcontractor during the term of the Contract. The Contractor shall provide to the City, within thirty (30) days of the effective date of this Contract, documentation of such enrollment in the form of a copy of the E-Verify “Edit Company Profile” screen”, which contains proof of enrollment in the E-Verify Program (this page can be accessed from the “Edit Company Profile” link on the left navigation menu of the E-Verify employer’s homepage). Contractor further agrees that it will require each subcontractor that performs work under this Contract to enroll and participate in the E-Verify Program on the same terms as Contractor. Contractor shall obtain from its subcontractor(s) a copy of the “Edit Company Profile” screen indicating enrollment in the E-Verify Program and make such record(s) available to the City upon request.

16. Title VI Compliance. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. 2000, provides in Section 601, that “No person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” Contractor, for itself, its delegates, successors-in-interest, its assigns, and its subcontractors, and as a part of the consideration hereof, does hereby covenant and agree that:

(i) it shall comply with Section 601 of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. 2000, set forth above; and

(ii) it shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this Contract.

(iii) in the furnishing of services to the CITY hereunder, no person shall be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or otherwise subjected to discrimination in regard to this Contract on the grounds of such person's race, color, creed, disability, national origin, religion or sex.

Department of Justice Non-Discrimination Regulations; and Department of Justice regulations on disability discrimination.

In the event of a breach of any of the nondiscrimination and other covenants described in this paragraph, such breach shall constitute a breach of the Contract and the CITY shall have the right to immediately terminate the Contract in whole or in part, without liability, or seek such other remedy(ies) as the CITY deems appropriate, including but not limited to suspension or debarment from future CITY contracts. In addition to the City, the United States shall also have the right to enforce such laws and regulations. This nondiscrimination is in agreement with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 78 Stat. 252, 42 U.S.C.

18. Debarment; Ineligibility. The Contract may not be awarded to a party listed on the governmentwide Excluded Parties List System in the System for Award Management (SAM), in accordance with the OMB guidelines at 2 CFR 180 that implement Executive Orders 12549 (3 CFR Part 1986 Comp., p. 189) and 12689 (3 CFR Part 1989., p. 235).
