Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

This item authorizes the City Manager to negotiate and execute pre-event contracts for debris removal services in the event of an unforeseen emergency/disaster. On May 13, 2026, the Department of Emergency Services went out for Proposals RFP 2026-06 for Debris Removal. RFP 2026-06 was published in The Reporter News on May 13, 2026, and May 20, 2026, and as a result received 10 sealed proposals from the following companies: AfterMath Disaster Recovery, Clean Harbors Environmental Services, Inc., CrowderGulf, CTC Disaster Response, DRC Emergency Services, Garner, Global Emergency Services, Looks Great Services of MS, Inc., Southern Disaster Recovery, Inc., TFR Enterprises, Inc. The proposals were opened on Friday, May 29, 2026, and after reviewing them, the selection committee recommends awarding the pre-event contracts for debris removal to CrowderGulf, Inc. (primary) and DRC Emergency Services, LLC (secondary). It has been the practice of the Department of Emergency Services to have redundancy and back-up contracts when possible. FEMA prefers and encourages multiple contracts. There are no upfront costs for this contract to be in place. (*) Funds would be appropriated only if the contract is executed.
