The services provided will consist of furnishing all labor, materials, and equipment to complete and deliver full Emergency Response and Recovery Services. CrowderGulf can offer the County the widest possible spectrum of debris management and disaster recovery services which are itemized below: Pre-Planninq & Training Annual pre -disaster debris management planning sessions include training, review of emergency management plans, Debris Management Site (DMS) selection and other disaster recovery components. Aerial Damage Assessment via Helicopter Flyover After a storm has impacted a large area, CrowderGulf often implements the use of a helicopter flyover with local officials, to assess the damage. This allows our team to prioritize which areas may need assistance sooner than others based on severity of damage, as well as see progress once work starts. Emergency Road Clearance "PUSH" CrowderGulf provides push services by making certain that roadways designated by the County are clear and passable within 70 working hours from issuance of a Notice to Proceed (NTP) with such clearance. Riqht of Way (ROW) Debris Removal CrowderGulf performs permitting, clearing, and removing FEMA eligible disaster debris from the public rights-of-way, streets, roads, canals, lakes, ponds, and waterways as directed by the County. Each load of debris is accurately recorded electronically or on load tickets and presented to the County daily along with requested daily and weekly production reports. Private Property Debris Removal (PPDR) When requested, permitted, and approved by FEMA, State or Local Government CrowderGulf can conduct debris removal operations from private property. Debris must eliminate the immediate threat to lives, public health, and safety; and must be a result of the declared incident and within the designated area. Each load of debris is accurately recorded electronically or on load tickets and presented to the County daily along with requested daily and weekly production reports. Development and Operation of Temporary Debris Management Sites (TDMS) CrowderGulf constructs TDMS to handle the volume of debris generated in the County by the disaster. Operation of the TDMS includes debris separation, reduction, recycling and staging, separating and disposal of hazardous waste and fluids.

FL Availability and Assurances Due to the uncertainty of disaster related events, it is difficult to predict when a contract activation will occur. Regardless of the number of contracts CrowderGulf has activated after a disaster, in 50 years, we have never failed to meet a client's contract requirements for equipment resources and personnel. Having an experienced management team, a large pool of company owned equipment and operators, a nationwide data base of trusted and experienced subcontractors and agreements with national rental companies, allows CrowderGulf the ability to assure Indian River County that we can and will meet your disaster response needs. We are committed to providing the County with priority service, quality performance and onsite management. We will work as a team with you and your representatives to successfully restore the County to normal, following all FEMA regulations and within the designated timeline established by the County's contract. The severity of the disaster will determine how many employees will be assigned to a specific client. Depending on the scope of the disaster, CrowderGulf will use a combination of company crews and subcontractors to perform work. We will begin with CrowderGulf personnel and local resources and proceed to add additional manpower and subcontractors until we have a sufficient workforce in place to ensure the County that we can effectively manage and handle the disaster effort. CrowderGulf will adjust assets as required to optimize operations. During the historic 2017 Hurricane Season (involving Hurricanes Harvey and Irma), CrowderGulf had 91 simultaneous contract activations. Due to the widespread and devastating effects of Hurricane Harvey, many crews and subcontractors were deployed when Hurricane Irma affected Florida. While it was more challenging to pre -position equipment and subcontractors and ramp up resources, CrowderGulf never tried to re -negotiate a contract price with our clients and we never defaulted on a contract. We completed all of our contractual obligations on time and per contract bid prices and guidelines. Recent Case Studies CrowderGulf has consistently demonstrated its ability to respond swiftly and effectively to large-scale disasters across the United States. The following case studies highlight our operational capacity, technical expertise, and commitment to supporting communities during their most critical recovery periods. 2024 Hurricanes Milton, Helene, Francine, Debby, Beryl & Straight -Line Winds • Activated by 85 clients across Florida, Texas, and Louisiana • Developed and operated 19 DMS within one week of Hurricane Beryl • Removed over 15.2 million cubic yards of debris across events • Provided rapid damage assessments, debris estimates, and site development support 2022 Hurricanes Ian and Nicole • Activated by 39 clients within 72 hours of landfall • Deployed 200 PUSH crews • Developed and operated 63 DMS simultaneously • Removed, processed, and disposed of 15 million cubic yards of debris throughout Florida • Initiated bar e operations on five large CrowderGulf-owned barges to restore access to Sanibel Island within three days 39 Total Clients Debby2024 Hurricanes Milton, Helene, Francine, 89 Total Clients Number of Clients in 2024 Utilizing Tasks Listed Below Contract Amt DMS Sites ROW Haul Debris Reduction Debris Disposal Tree Work Stumps White Goods Freon E- waste HHW ADMS Utilized Waterway Debris $463,372,637 138 82 53 49 29 9 13 2 10 12 76 2 2022 Hurricanes Ian and Nicole • Activated by 39 clients within 72 hours of landfall • Deployed 200 PUSH crews • Developed and operated 63 DMS simultaneously • Removed, processed, and disposed of 15 million cubic yards of debris throughout Florida • Initiated bar e operations on five large CrowderGulf-owned barges to restore access to Sanibel Island within three days 39 Total Clients 2022 Hurricanes Ian & .- Number of Clients in 2022 Utilizing Tasks Listed Below Contract Amt PUSH ROW Debris Debris Tree Stumps White Freon E -waste HHW ADMS Waterway Debris Ops Haul Reduction Disposal Work Goods Utilized $413,321,806 11 37 52 38 18 8 7 6 7 6 38 4 0 CROWDER GULF CrowderGulf RFP 2026011 Disaster Debris Management Indian River County, FL. 2021 Hurricanes Ida and Nicolas • Pre -event contract enabled immediate mobilization • Deployed full-scale ROW and PUSH operations • Completed debris removal over a six-month period with full FEMA documentation 2020 Hurricanes Hanna, Laura, Sally Zeta, Tropical Stone Cristobal & Tornadoes • 34 contract activations across six states • 49 DMS developed and managed • 204,000+ cubic yards/day removed during peak operations • 19+ million cubic yards of debris removed overall • Cleared more than 1,600 miles of drainage laterals in Calcasieu Parish, waterways • Deployed 500+ PUSH crews within hours of landfall removing 2.2 million cubic yards from 2021 Hurricanes Ida and Nicholas;

Following a major disaster, the County's financial burdens could be substantial. It is important to have a financially strong disaster -experienced contractor, such as CrowderGulf, that will work to get the job completed, regardless of any delays in invoice payments. CrowderGulf's financial stability is solid and reliable, and we have established an excellent line of credit with our financial institution. We have always paid our subcontractors and personnel weekly and met all financial obligations without interruption. Over the years, CrowderGulf has paid millions of dollars before receiving any payments. CrowderGulfs long commitment to pay subcontractors weekly has allowed us to attract the most experienced and well- equipped subcontractors in the nation, CrowderGulf has had extensive experience working disasters and is personally aware that many municipalities are not financially prepared to handle the cost of a major recovery effort. We understand that it takes time to work through the bureaucracy and obtain funding. Consequently, CrowderGulfs position has always been one of patience with our clients as they endeavor to meet our invoices.

FL Tab D - Project Approach and Schedule Debris Management and Operations Plan CrowderGulfs Debris Management and Operations Plan is a flexible, scalable strategy designed to rapidly assess disaster impacts, mobilize trained crews, and execute debris removal with minimal disruption to the community. The plan aligns critical operations (actions that are set in motion by an event) with essential support functions to ensure efficient, cost-effective, and FEMA -compliant recovery. Core Components and Overview PRE-EXECUTi N PLANNING AND MOBILIZATION F DEBRIS READINESS SUPPORT i TRAINING OEMERGENCY RESPONSE SUBCONTRACTING PUBLIC RELATIONS HEALTH i SAFETYQUALITY CONTROL DOCUMENT&REIMBURSEMENTO • ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVITY JrRECOVERY RISTIONS The primary objective of this plan is to help clients recover from disaster impacts as quickly, efficiently, and economically as possible. These components have been central to CrowderGulfs disaster response efforts for over 55 years. The four Critical Operations—Pre-Execution Planning & Mobilization, Debris Emergency Response, Debris Recovery Operations, and Documentation and Reimbursement—are the foundation of CrowderGulf's approach. These are supported by six Essential Support Functions, which, though less visible, are vital to the success of the debris management effort. Each component is outlined in the following sections. Critical Operations: Pre -Execution Planning and Mobilization Alert & Team Notifications When advance notice is available (e.g., a hurricane), CrowderGulf initiates alert protocols as soon as a credible threat is identified. The call -down list is verified for accuracy, and Field Project Managers and Supervisors are instructed to monitor communications frequently. Additional devices may be distributed as needed. The CrowderGulf Director of Operations (DO), in coordination with the Client's designated Debris Manager and based on National Weather Service data, determines whether to activate the full notification plan. If activated, the CrowderGulf Calling Plan is executed, initiating a cascading notification process to mobilize personnel. This system is tested at least twice annually to ensure readiness. 26 cRowoeR CrowderGulf GULF RFP 2026011 Disaster Debris Management Indian River County, FL Preparation & Planning Upon confirmation of a high -probability event, the DO initiates resource preparation. Personnel are briefed on status, assignments, and mobilization details. The DO oversees the deployment of managers, crews, and equipment Staging Resources Prior to landfall (for a notice event), equipment may be staged near the projected disaster zone. Local assets will be secured and positioned for rapid deployment. Post -landfall, upon issuance of a Task Order (TO), resources will be staged near the Client's truck certification area. A large, hard -surfaced area will be secured early for equipment certification and safety inspections. This site will serve as the initial reporting location for all subcontractors, vendors, and job seekers, and must be established in advance of moving debris on a unit price payment basis. A Mobile Emergency Response Command Center may be deployed to support operations, along with temporary fueling and shelter facilities if needed. Mobilization of Resources CrowderGulf will contact the Client's designated Debris Manager at least 48 hours prior to forecasted landfall or immediately following an unanticipated disaster. Mobilization begins upon receipt of the Notice to Proceed (NTP), in accordance with Client requirements. Within 8 hours of NTP: CrowderGulfs management team coordinates on-site planning with the Client. Within 12 hours: Initial debris clearance ("PUSH") begins. Within 48-72 hours: Full-scale reduction and disposal operations are underway, The scale of mobilization is determined by the severity of the event. CrowderGulf deploys a combination of internal crews and subcontractors, expanding the workforce as needed to meet operational demands. Assigned management personnel are detailed in later sections of this proposal. Internal Communication & Coordination To maintain situational awareness and operational efficiency, CrowderGulfs Senior Vice President or designee holds daily coordination calls with senior management, field managers, and support staff. These calls address staffing, resource gaps, and critical issues. Consistent, real-time communication across locations promotes continuous improvement, operational flexibility, and strong client relationships, reinforcing CrowderGulfs commitment to collaboration and readiness. Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Staffing CrowderGulf will assign a senior manager to the Client's EOC to coordinate debris operations, communications, and scheduling. If requested, this representative will be present prior to storm landfall. Mobile Command Center If needed, CrowderGulfs Mobile Command Center—a state-of-the-art Prevost bus—provides living quarters and a fully equipped office for key personnel. This unit enables rapid deployment and sustained operations in areas that may be otherwise inaccessible, ensuring unmatched response times. Operational Support CrowderGulfs main office will serve as the central hub for administrative support and documentation. It will maintain backup records and provide continuous support to field operations throughout the project. Mobilization Time Parameters See Tab A. Qualibcations and Experience. 27 CrowderGulf cRowoeR RFP 2026011 Disaster Debris Management GULF Indian River Countv. FL Scenarios The County has requested information regarding CrowderGulfs ability to respond and mobilize resources as it relates to the given scopes of work. The following scenarios and response plans are provided as examples of CrowderGulfs ability to respond to any disaster with the appropriate commitment of human and physical resources. CrowderGulfs Debris Operations Plan, further outlines specific details of field operations for both response and recovery. Additionally, for all activations, CrowderGulf is committed to meeting all program standards as specified in the County's RFP. SCENARIO 1. SPOT JOBS — LOCALIZED Response For this type of event, CrowderGulf will use its local resources to meet the County's project needs. Regardless of the scope of work, we will provide experienced managers with the proper equipment and necessary resources needed by the County. If required, we will have resources and manpower capable of clearing critical routes and removing hazardous Ieaners and hangers within 24 hours of a Notice to Proceed (NTP). An experienced Project Manager will arrive on scene within 24 hours of notification of need and begin a damage assessment as directed by the County. Damage assessment will include documentation in the form of photographs, video and project sectoring / mapping. Based on the damage assessment, the Project Manager, in consultation with the County's Debris Manager, will prepare a response plan delineating specific equipment and personnel needs to accomplish the County's objectives. Depending on the scope of work in this scenario, the response plan will be complete and ready for County approval within 24-48 hours. Based on preliminary discussions with the County and the County's approval of the response plan, CrowderGulfs Project Manager will mobilize crews with appropriate equipment to accomplish the work in a timely and orderly manner. If hauling is required, our Project Manager will coordinate with the County (County's representative) to measure debris hauling trucks and ensure that all documentation requirements are met for each load of debris. Field Supervisors, quality control and safety personnel will oversee and document each work site and provide close coordination between the field work and the County. CrowderGulfs Project Manager will provide status reports to the County. All of CrowderGulfs debris removal efforts will be documented daily and available to the County to review via a secure website. This type of transparency and accountability enables the County to remain informed of disaster expenditures and the efficiency of the debris removal process. There may be as few as one to two crews assigned or a multitude of teams assembled as determined by the Project Manager and the County representative during the preliminary damage assessment. Depending on the need and specific tasks, each crew may consist of the following: • Two pieces of rubber -tired pushing / loading equipment such as backhoe loaders, rubber tired front-end loaders, and skid steer loaders with operators • One - three chain saw operators, laborers, and flaggers with transport vehicles • Three — five 16 to 20 cubic yard capacity dump trucks and/or two to four 35- 55 cy self -loading trucks with drivers One Quality Control/Foreman with communications capability and pickup truck If needed, a minimum of one professional Arborist and at least one-two crews of Tree Removal Specialists to assist in tree and limb removal and stabilization projects. Tree crews will use their expertise in stabilizing and or removing hazardous trees utilizing specialized equipment and proven techniques. Typically, this type of work may begin during the "emergency clearance" phase of an event in which a formal declaration may not have been made or when a client does some of the initial cleanup work but wants to finish within a short timeframe. Regardless of the size, type or timing of the work, it is critical to collect and maintain accurate documentation of damages and of recovery work. Throughout the project, CrowderGulf will document all work in compliance with FEMA Guidelines. Our documentation may include; before and after photographs of the damaged areas, maps, and if the tasks require indemnification agreements for work involving private property. All hours, equipment and materials will be documented daily on forms consistent with FEMA requirements and be compatible with the County's capabilities for downloading and accessibility. These forms will be validated at the close of each day by Field Supervisors and the Project Manager, and the County's Debris Manager to gauge the progress and plan for continued debris removal efforts. All documentation will be reviewed and reconciled with the County and or their monitoring contractor prior to invoicing. In the event that hauling is required, truck certification forms and load tickets will be utilized, reviewed and double checked for accuracy and legibility. All documentation will be maintained by CrowderGulf for 7-10 years. U-11 cRowDER CrowderGulf RFP 2026011 Disaster Debris Management GULF Indian River County, FL ACTUAL EXAMPLES CrowderGulf has successfully completed many jobs with a similar scope of work as described in Scenario 1. In 2017 following Hurricane Irma, CrowderGulf assisted Coleman, Florida in the removal of 3,030 cubic yards of debris. CrowderGulf removed and disposed of vegetation, mulch and six stumps. The reduction was by grinding and the County self -monitored all operations. CrowderGulf assisted in the reconciliation and documentation process, working directly with the County to provide all needed information for FEMA reimbursement. In 2015, the City of Friendswood, TX activated CrowderGulf to help recover from a tornado that impacted part of the City. CrowderGulf removed approximately 9000 cubic yards of debris in 7 days with 145 loads hauled directly to the final disposal. Another example includes two 2015 activations in Corpus Christi, TX, to help the City recover after flooding and high wind events. These activations involved removal and hauling vegetative & C&D debris to final disposal. CrowderGulfs work for Berkeley County, SC, after the 2014 ice storm is an example of a job requiring specific, detailed documentation, and involving removing hanging limbs and leaning trees, hauling and disposal of the resulting vegetative debris. During this project, hanging limbs were removed from over 19,000 trees which produced 179,300 cubic yards of vegetative debris that was removed and taken directly to the disposal site. This work utilized 9 tree crews and 9 hauling crews consisting of 19 debris hauling trucks and was completed in a little over two months. SCENARIO 2. SMALL EVENT — WIDESPREAD OR CITY / COUNTY WIDE Response All procedures that are included in the previous Scenario will also apply to Scenario 2. In addition, our resources will be provided in greater quantities, and we will stage the necessary equipment in the County at pre -determined locations (usually pre -identified during our site visits or as determined during yearly preparedness training sessions) identified by Project Management team and approved by the County. If requested, we will have a project manager present in the County's Emergency Operation Facility prior to the event. After conducting a damage assessment, CrowderGulf will start its forces in numerous areas throughout the County. Equipment resources are based on the amount of damage determined and the size of the area affected. The area will be sectioned in grid format and crews, and equipment will be assigned to each of the affected areas. Debris removal equipment along with ground crews, tree crews, knuckle boom trucks for removing leaners and hangers and traffic control teams will be used for this event. It may be determined a Debris Management Site (DMS) are needed to facilitate debris removal and reduction. In order for debris hauled to a DMS to be FEMA eligible for reimbursement it must be reduced before hauling to final disposal. Debris brought to a DMS facility will be sorted to remove recyclable materials and materials not suitable for reuse. The materials not re -useable will be reduced (either by grinding or as directed by the County) or may be taken to an approved final disposal facility. Whether CrowderGulf provides the DMS facility or utilizes pre-existing sites, our goal will be to have the DMS fully functional within 48-72 hours of a NTP. Each DMS site will be photographed, and soil testing (if required) and monitoring will be performed throughout the use of the site facility. Land use development will include roads for safe ingress, and egress, proper segregation of materials, construction of monitoring towers and/or other necessary facilities. Staffing for the DMS will include a site manager, a segregation crew which consists of one foreman, one equipment operator, two laborers and a skid steer, safety personnel and tower monitors. The Project Manager along with our Reduction Specialist and Safety Coordinator will develop site specific plans for each DMS facility. These plans will include site layout, copies of any necessary permits and land use agreements as well as the site specific safety and environmental plan. At the completion of the project, all remaining debris will be removed and either taken to a recycle facility or for final disposal. Land used for the DMS will be returned to its original condition and the County will be provided with all necessary documentation on the site reclamation. All work will be conducted and documented in compliance with all FEMA Public Assistance Program and Policy Guidelines (incorporating FEMA 325). Irk CrowderGulf cRowoeR RFP2026011 Disaster Debris Management GULF Indian River County, FL ACTUAL EXAMPLES Early in 2015, the City of Raleigh, NC, activated the pre -event contract and called on CrowderGulf to assist the City's resources in debris removal operations within the City. Our Project Manager, Nick Pratt, assisted the City with preliminary assessment and immediately mobilized equipment and resources to the area to begin debris removal operations. The operation consisted of debris pickup from rights-of-way. CrowderGulf removed approximately 30,000 cubic yards of debris during the week-long project. After 2011, Hurricane Irene, CrowderGulf was activated by Newport News, VA, to conduct debris operations. As part of our normal operating procedures, after an initial damage assessment, we began working simultaneously in all eight areas of the City that were damaged. This approach helped residents see that the City was taking the necessary steps to quickly remove the debris. CrowderGulf removed 85,000 cubic yards of debris with 20 trucks in three weeks and reduced the debris by grinding at a City -owned property where CrowderGulf developed a DMS. At the end of the project, this property was returned to its original condition at no extra cost to the City of Newport News The reduced debris from this project was recycled as much as possible by giving it to private residents, using it at the City's compost site, and by taking it to paper mills within the area. The remainder was taken to the final disposal site where much of it was used as a cover within the landfill, All of this work was carefully documented to ensure FEMA reimbursement. SCENARIO 3. SIGNIFICANT EVENT - REMOVAL, REDUCTION, HAULING WOODY DEBRIS ONLY - WIDESPREAD OR CITY 1 COUNTY WIDE Response In addition to the response procedure described for Scenario 1 and 2 events, this event may require more than one DMS, depending on how widespread the damage may be. Depending on the details of each site, reduction may be done by burning, grinding or both, depending on the County's desired method of reduction. Each site will operate independently and have its own manpower and equipment (as described in Scenario 2). In addition, several pieces of heavy equipment, grinders and/or air curtain incinerators with operators may be added to the DMS. Flaggers will be used at the entrance and exit points to assist with traffic control into and out of the facility. The DMS will be fully functional within 48 hours of a NTP and reduction by grinding or burning will start within 72 hours of receiving debris. As with Scenario 2, debris will be removed and properly disposed at designated facilities and plans, testing and site documentation will be administered. Any damage to the DMS would be remediated at the completion of the project. All cleanup operations will be documented in accordance with FEMA and County's requirements and in accordance with environmental regulations. All work will be conducted and documented in compliance with all FEMA regulations. ACTUAL EXAMPLES This type of event is similar to the operation we successfully completed in 2017 for League City, Texas, following Hurricane Harvey. Hurricane Harvey produced unprecedented rainfalls throughout the City. Parts of the community endured as estimated 49.84 inches of rain in five days, equaling nearly a year's worth of rain. Prior to flood waters receding, CrowderGulf had boots on the ground in the State of Texas. Our project management team provided debris assessments to our clients and brought skilled response crews into the State to immediately begin work as flood waters receded. CrowderGulf worked with the City of League City to section off the City and provide debris removal resources in all seven of their identified "hardest hit" areas, simultaneously, CrowderGulf utilized 22 hauling units and disposed of the debris at two identified disposal facilities. CrowderGulf removed 11,461 cubic yards of vegetative debris, 3,209 white goods, 3,491 E -waste items and 109,220 lbs. of Household Hazardous Waste, This project was monitored by Tetra Tech Rocky Mount, NC, after Hurricane Irene is another example of similar work. We hauled 253,360 cubic yards of debris utilizing thirty-five (35) trucks over seven (7) weeks. CrowderGulf reduced debris by grinding and hauled 66,110 cubic yards to a disposal site. CrowderGulfs management team worked closely with the Rocky Mount debris/recovery team and work was completed within the City's timeline to the City's satisfaction. 30 CROWDER CrowderGulf RFP 2026011 Disaster Debris Management Indian River Countv. FL SCENARIO 4. SIGNIFICANT EVENT - REMOVAL, REDUCTION, HAULING, AND SEPARATING MIXED DEBRIS - WIDESPREAD OR CITY 1 COUNTY WIDE Response In addition to all the procedures and resources included in a Scenarios 1, 2 and 3, CrowderGulf will add segregation crews at its TDSRS (If the County wishes to separate the debris vs a direct haul to final disposal). A typical segregation crew may consist of one foreman, one equipment operator, two (2) laborers and a skid steer. Debris will be segregated into six (6) areas for reduction or further handling. These include clean vegetative debris, vegetative debris with foreign matter, construction and demolition debris, recyclable debris, white goods and hazardous waste. Depending on the severity of the event, additional debris removal crews can be deployed to begin work with 48 hours of the NTP. ACTUAL EXAMPLES Hurricane Harvey struck the Southern Texas Coast on August 25, 2018, and unlike many past hurricanes, Harvey did not move quickly. After its initial landfall, it stalled over Southeast Texas for quite some time. The typical damages caused by strong hurricane force winds were swiftly surmounted by the damages caused by the unprecedented and overwhelming rain amounts that fell on Southeast Texas. Hurricane Harvey easily became one the wettest storms ever recorded in the continental United States leaving over 60 inches of rainfall in some areas. Having worked in the City of Friendswood, Texas on numerous occasions prior to Hurricane Harvey, CrowderGulf was familiar with the City and the knowledgeable personnel who worked there. The City of Friendswood contacted CrowderGulf on August 29th to set up a coordination meeting. CrowderGulf met with the City staff the same day to discuss a notice to proceed, mobilization and the start date. Brian Smallwood, Texas Regional Manager for CrowderGulf, along with Terry Byrd, Friendswood Emergency Management Coordinator & Fire Marshall and Brian Mansfield, Deputy Director of Emergency Management established a goal to start operations on September 6th to remove and dispose of debris from the estimated 3,000 homes that were flooded. The City requested all operations be completed within 180 days. CrowderGulf quickly mobilized the necessary resources and started on September 6th as requested by the City. The debris was directly hauled to the Dixie Farm Road Landfill. Overall, CrowderGulf removed and disposed of over 135,000 cubic yards of debris from the 21.7 square miles of land that's occupied by the 35,000 residents of Friendswood, TX. (In addition to the removal of 135,952 cubic yards of vegetative debris, CrowderGulf removed 5,804 white goods, 7,684 E - waste products and 182,460 lbs. of Household Hazardous Waste.) All work will be conducted and documented in compliance with all FEMA 325 regulations. SCENARIO 5. CATASTROPHIC EVENT - REMOVAL, REDUCTION, HAULING, AND SEPARATING - MIXED DEBRIS - CITY / COUNTY WIDE Response For a Catastrophic event, all the procedures included in Scenarios 1-4 would apply. If requested, CrowderGulf will stage equipment and resources prior to the event and have a senior Project Manager present in the County's Emergency Operations Center prior to the storm for planning purposes. We will have management resources on the ground within twenty-four (24) hours for the emergency PUSH planning. Debris Crews and Equipment resources will be working within 48 hours of establishing an approved recovery plan. (If utilizing a monitoring company, it takes 24-48 hours to have monitoring personnel trained and equipped to begin the monitoring process). CrowderGulfs Project Management Team will utilize the first 24-48 hours to begin their damage assessment and sectioning of the County and crews assigned to each of the damaged areas so that debris will be removed concurrently in all areas of the County. TDSRS development will begin immediately upon NTP and site selection. Grinders and or air curtain burners will be deployed for use within forty-eight (48) hours of the start of debris removal. Documentation and Emergency Management specialists will be onsite to train local personnel who will be working at each TDSRS office. All documentation will be available online for review by the County. Updates will be given to local personnel by our senior managers every morning and our experienced marketing team can assist the County with public notices via radio, newspaper and TV, if requested. All work will be conducted and documented in compliance with all FEMA 325 regulations. 31 CROWDER CrowderGulf RFP 2026011 Disaster Debris Management GULF Indian River County, FL All documentation will be available online for review by the County. Updates will be given to local personnel by our senior managers every morning and our experienced marketing team will assist the County with public notices via radio, newspaper and TV, if requested. ACTUAL EXAMPLES Polk County, FL experienced a Scenario 5 event after Hurricane Irma in 2017. CrowderGulf removed 2,370,172 cubic yards from Polk County alone, in just a few months' time. The damage from the hurricane spread throughout numerous counties in FL and required significant resources to be deployed quickly. CrowderGulf had tremendous success in the recovery effort and holds valued relationships with all the communities affected. Overall, we removed, reduced and disposed of 10,984,801 cubic yards of debris in Florida alone after Irma all the while, working in the State of Texas to complete the removal and disposal of 5,113,917 cubic yards of debris for 26 contract activations following Hurricane Harvey. After Hurricane Harvey, in September of 2017, CrowderGulf crews removed and reduced 2,006,840 cubic yards of debris from Aransas County, Texas rights -of -ways. The overall cost to Aransas was $24,406.652. CrowderGulf assisted the County in the removal and disposal of mixed vegetative and construction and demolition materials. This material had to be segregated and hauled to the proper facility for disposal. CrowderGulf removed, transported and disposed of 14,938 leaners/hangers, 6,039 white goods and 22,760 lbs. of HHW. Debris was reduced by grinding at three separate sites. Critical Operations: Debris Emergency Response Debris Emergency Response activities begin immediately after a disaster to clear emergency access routes and support lifesaving operations. This phase focuses on removing debris that obstructs critical infrastructure or poses immediate threats to public health and safety. "PUSH" crews can be on-site within hours of an event, with multiple teams operating within 24 hours of receiving the NTP. The Client will determine priority routes, typically starting with major thoroughfares and emergency service corridors. CrowderGulfs emergency "PUSH" operations prioritize: • Facilitating search and rescue efforts • Restoring access to hospitals, fire stations, and police departments • Preventing flooding and other secondary hazards Emergency Clearance Prioritization CrowderGulf uses an operational triage approach to prioritize emergency clearance. Primary routes include: • Emergency service routes (fire, police, ambulance) • Access to hospitals, trauma centers, nursing homes • Routes to the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) • Government facility access • Emergency supply distribution routes • Secondary Routes: • Major arterial roads • Utility access routes • Communication infrastructure • Shelter access routes • Routes to DMS All emergency clearance objectives are executed with CrowderGulfs commitment to quality, coordination, and public safety. Resources are allocated based on urgency and Client direction. Once emergency and major access routes are cleared, operations transition to full-scale recovery, including feeder roads and residential streets. 32 CROWDER CrowderGulf RFP 2026011 Disaster Debris Management , GULF Indian River County, FL Priority Access Restoration Following initial emergency clearance, CrowderGulf will expand operations to restore access to other critical facilities, including: • Schools • Municipal buildings • Water and wastewater treatment plants • Power generation units • Airports and seaports Once these locations are identified, CrowderGulf will deploy specialized clearing crews within 48 hours of NTP. Crews will utilize all available resources, with an emphasis on local personnel and firms. Standard Clearing Crew Composition • 2 rubber -tired loaders (e.g., backhoes, front-end loaders, skid steers) • 2-3 chainsaw operators, laborers, flaggers with transport vehicles • 1 Quality Control Foreman with communications and a pickup truck • Crew transport equipment Crews may split into two teams to increase efficiency, maintaining visual contact and reliable communication via radio or cellular devices. Safety Protocols Safety is paramount during emergency response. Hazards such as downed power lines, unstable trees, equipment risks, and fatigue require constant vigilance. Daily toolbox safety briefings are mandatory, and work areas are surveyed before and during operations. The Safety Director is responsible for hazard identification and mitigation. Safety is a core priority throughout all operations and is addressed in greater detail in the Health & Safety Section. Key Operational Principles CrowderGulf applies the following best practices to all debris recovery efforts: • Do not load debris until a Debris Management Site (DMS) or landfill is identified. • Handle only FEMA -eligible debris. • Sort debris prior to loading when feasible to improve efficiency. • Follow a "Clean as You Go" policy—thoroughly clear streets and roads with each pass. • Minimize handling—ideally load debris once and deliver directly to final disposal. • Use DMS only when they enhance operational efficiency. • Employ the most efficient reduction method approved by the client. • Recycle when cost -benefit analysis supports it. • Utilize publicly or privately owned landfills for final disposal. Debris Collection Methods The fundamental component of a debris management plan is the collection of debris. Implementation of debris collection immediately after a disaster event will assure the public that recovery efforts are in progress and that the community will return to normal quickly. The debris type, amount, and urgency determine which collection method is used, The two main methods of debris collection are curbside collection and collection centers. Both types of collection methods may be used and will be determined by the County. Curbside collection requires that only storm related debris be placed at the curb or public rights-of-way. Source -segregated debris collection offers the potential of high salvage value and efficient recycling/reduction processing. This method is important when collecting hazardous and environmentally sensitive debris, such as household hazardous waste and white goods. Collecting mixed debris (veg & C&D) allows residents to place all debris types in one specified area, usually along the public rights-of-way in front of their residence. While this is the most convenient for the public, it does not facilitate effective recycling and reduction efforts. 33 CrowderGulf cRowoeR RFP 2026011 Disaster Debris Management GULF Indian River Countv, FL Anytime vegetative debris is mixed with C&D; FEMA requires that the load be called C&D. When debris is mixed, recycling and reduction efforts are often prolonged and operational costs are increased when crews can separate the mixed debris. Collection Centers, the second type of collection method, relies on having residents transport their debris to a common location. Large roll -off bins may be placed on public rights-of-way or public property for the residents to bring their debris for collection. Separate bins can be designated for types of debris. If Collection Centers are used, they must be monitored to ensure that all debris is storm -related eligible debris and owned by citizens of the County. Regardless of the collection methods used, educating the residents before a disaster occurs and keeping them informed after a disaster about the how, when and where of debris removal operations will alleviate a lot of stress for everyone. CrowderGulf can assist with keeping the public informed with the information needed to get their debris removed safely and in a timely manner. Debris Types CrowderGulf is equipped to manage all FEMA -eligible debris types as defined in the FEMA Public Assistance Program and Policy Guide. The Client will determine the scope of debris to be managed under this contract. Supported debris types include: • Vegetative debris • Construction & Demolition (C&D) debris • White goods • Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) • Electronic waste • Abandoned vehicles and vessels • Putrescent debris • Infectious waste • Hazardous materials (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear -contaminated) Truck Certification Before debris hauling begins, all trucks must be certified by the Client or its designated debris monitoring firm. Certification includes: Accurate measurement of truck bed dimensions Verification of safety compliance Documentation of truck details, including driver name, license, tag number, and photos CrowderGulf provides FEMA -compliant certification forms. Originals are retained by the Client; copies are issued to CrowderGulf and the driver. The driver's copy must remain in the vehicle at all times. A placard displaying truck ID and measurement data will be visibly mounted on both sides of the vehicle. Additional documentation requirements are outlined in the Documentation and Reimbursement section. Sectoring and Crew Assignments Upon NTP, CrowderGulf will assist the County in assessing damage and developing a specific plan of action. The damaged areas will be divided into sectors and crews, subcontractors, and equipment will be assigned. All areas will be served simultaneously. Debris Loading Operations Prerequisites • Truck certification and safety inspections completed on all trucks hauling debris • Identification of disposal site • If needed for efficiency, identification and preparation of debris management sites • Sectioning of County with subcontractor assignments • Quality Control organization operational • Load ticketing and data management process operational • Accident Prevention Plan (APP), Site Safety and Health Plans (SSHP), Activity Hazard Analyses • Initial safety and health briefing for all personnel complete • Specific training on traffic control complete for all debris crews 34 cRowDER CrowderGulf C RFP 2026011 Disaster Debris Management GULF Indian River County, FL • Preparatory inspections of each worksite by Quality Control staff and debris crew foreman • Work area cleared of safety and health hazards such as downed power lines and hazardous materials • Inspection of work area for water meters, fire hydrants, utility pedestals and other infrastructure components that could be damaged by equipment • FEMA debris eligibility criteria communicated to all Crew Foremen, Superintendents, Quality Control staff, Project Managers, and Equipment Operators • Overhead power lines and other utility lines identified for safe clearance of loading equipment Crew Composition and Responsibilities CrowderGulf tailors crew composition to the task and equipment type. Self -loading trucks require fewer support assets than dump trucks or trailers. All crews include: • Traffic control personnel • A foreman • A designated quality control staff member • Chainsaw operators and laborers for ground support A typical Crew composition includes the Role followin Responsibility Crew Foreman On-site management, Safety 1 Quality Control Staff Member 1 Self -loaders or Dump trucks (80-140 CY or 20-60 CT) Debris pickup & hauling 4-6 (as needed) Chainsaw Operators Tree/limb reduction, trim debris hanging from loaded trucks 1-2 Flaggers Traffic and truck movement control 3-6 Laborers Collect small debris 2 Truck and Equipment Considerations The number of debris hauling trucks assigned to each crew will be determined by the time required to transport a load of debris to the disposal site, dump the load and return to the loading site. Sufficient trucks or trailer hauling equipment will be assigned to each crew to preclude having idle loading equipment. If hauling equipment is found idle and frequently waiting to be loaded, some of the hauling equipment will be reassigned to other crews. Crews will be adjusted as needed to maximize the use of all trucks and equipment. Repair and Maintenance Equipment CrowderGulf has the ability to perform maintenance and repair in the field where the work is happening. Local resources may have experienced damages or have other responsibilities that take priority over their business such as family matters. To insure we have safe functioning equipment, over the years CrowderGulf has built a large support system for our company owned equipment and subcontractor equipment should they need assistance. Hauling Debris The hauling or transport process begins at the time the truck or trailer leaves the "loading zone", Safe transport of the debris material to the disposal site becomes the drivers' primary concern. Drivers remain responsible for their loads until safely dumped at the disposal site. All drivers will follow the most direct and safe pre -planned route to the nearest disposal site. Particular attention to safety is required in the areas near school buses, school zones and other areas of pedestrian foot traffic. Tarps or load covers are applied as required by local or state regulations. 35 CROWDER CrowderGulf RFP 2026011 Disaster Debris Management Indian River County, FL Safety Measures The Safety Manager and Safety Officers will monitor all safety procedures and daily reports of accidents and/or property damage. The Safety Manager or designee will also be responsible for coordinating and conducting safety meetings with crew members and subcontractor personnel. Safety is critical throughout all operations and is discussed later within this Debris Operations Plan. Truck and Equipment Maintenance Well-maintained trucks and equipment are essential for efficient operations. CrowderGulfs crew foremen, subcontractor foremen, and the Field Project Manager will be responsible for keeping all trucks and equipment in good working condition and prepared for each workday. A CrowderGulf mechanic will be on the job of troubleshooting and maintenance of equipment. Local mechanic shops may also be utilized. Traffic Control CrowderGulf will use its best efforts to mitigate the impact of debris removal operations on local traffic. Sufficient signing, flagging, barricading, safety equipment and communications devices will be used to ensure the safety of vehicular and pedestrian traffic in all work areas. All work shall be done in conformity with applicable federal, state, local laws, regulations and ordinances. Hours of Operation and Number of Passes Debris will be collected and loaded during visible daylight hours (dawn to dusk) seven days per week. Debris reduction at the DMS may take place 24 hours per day, seven days per week if required by demand and approved by the County. CrowderGulf will make as many passes as the County may direct in order to successfully complete the debris removal process. Normally, a few days may need to elapse between each pass so that the citizens have time to get their debris to the ROW. Daily Coordinated Issue Management Meetings Daily meetings will be held between CrowderGulfs Field Project Manager, Field Supervisors, subcontractor foremen, and Client representatives to: • Review progress • Adjust manpower and equipment • Reassign work areas as needed (with Client approval) Accurate Record Keeping CrowderGulf employs robust systems to ensure accurate documentation, including, but not limited to: • Truck certification records • Debris hauling logs • Production reports • Safety meeting documentation • Daily crew and equipment usage reports Technology -driven data collection supports operational decision making and ensures complete documentation for FEMA and other agency reimbursement. Full details are provided in the Documentation and Reimbursement section. Documenting and Resolving Damages Despite best efforts, minor property damage may occur during debris removal operations. CrowderGulf is committed to responding promptly and professionally to all damage claims submitted by the Client or its residents. We recognize the stress and disruption caused by disasters and train our personnel to be courteous, empathetic, and responsive to community needs. 0 CROWDER CrowderGulf RFP 2026011 Disaster Debris Management Indian River Countv. FL Damage Reporting and Resolution Process A dedicated citizens' hotline will be established for reporting damage. This may be provided by the Client, the monitoring firm, or CrowderGulf. CrowderGulf will assign a Claims Resolution Person (CRP) to manage all property damage claims. If possible, this role will be filled by a qualified local resident with strong communication and negotiation skills. The CRP will investigate and resolve claims in coordination with the Client, ensuring timely and satisfactory outcomes. Debris Management Site Development CrowderGulf has extensive experience in selecting, developing, and operating Debris Management Sites (DMS), also referred to as Temporary Debris Separation and Reduction Sites. DMSs are used when debris cannot be transported directly to final disposal and serve as staging areas for sorting, reducing, and processing debris. DMS Site Selection Site selection is critical to operational success. CrowderGulf will collaborate with the Client to identify suitable locations. Site Plans will be developed for each site upon activation, or upon request, in accordance with FEMA's Public Assistance Program and Policy Guide and will include: • Ownership and lease potential • Site size, location, and accessibility • Environmental and historical considerations • Required permits and baseline environmental testing Costs for site preparation, operation, and restoration are addressed in the unit price schedule. Restoration costs are treated as pass-through expenses with no markup unless otherwise specified. DMS Design and Operational Features Efficient site design is essential for safe and effective DMS operations. Each site will include: • Portable toilets for crews, inspectors, and office staff • Perimeter chain link fencing, erosion/sediment control fencing, and other necessary drainage systems • Dual gated entrances/exits to manage traffic flow • Restricted access (Client and Contractor vehicles only, if requested) • Fire safety and rescue equipment accessible throughout the site and debris stockpiles • Safety zones: • 200 ft around grinders • 1,200 ft from structures and 250 ft from other debris piles for Air Curtain Incinerators (ACI) or open burning pits • Ash storage pits adjacent to ACI units • Crushed rock/mulch surfacing for ingress/egress roads • Designated parking for 30 vehicles • Space for two 12'x50' office trailers • Lined hazardous materials containment area with berm • Separate areas for vegetative debris, chip piles, and C&D debris • Adequate maneuvering space for trucks and equipment • Debris separation zones for mixed loads • Site orientation considering prevailing winds (ACI and grinding operations downwind from offices/towers) • Optional public dumping areas with separate towers for material tracking, if included in the Client's Debris Management Plan DMS Site Plan A detailed DMS Site Plan will be prepared at a scale of 1" = 50'.

Vegetative Debris Based on the Client's preference, vegetative debris will be either ground or burned: • Grinding: Mulch will be transported to a properly permitted disposal site. • Burning: Ash will be hauled to an approved disposal site. Where feasible and permitted, CrowderGulf will recycle mulch and clean ash. In past events, clean ash has been repurposed as agricultural fertilizer. All recycling efforts will comply with environmental regulations. Construction and Demolition Debris All C&D debris will be disposed of at Client -approved facilities in full compliance with federal, state, and local laws. Experience with Specialty Debris CrowderGulf's supervisory personnel is experienced in identifying and assessing potential problems imposed by specialty debris including Abandoned Vehicles and Vessels; Animal Carcass Removal, Demo Asbestos Containing Materials; Electronic waste (E -Waste); Freon and White Goods; Household Hazardous Waste (HHW); and Waterway (Sand, Beach, and Wet Marine Debris). As mentioned above, CrowderGulf works in conjunction with all federal, state and local regulatory agencies and strictly follows all regulatory guidance. If removal and disposal is beyond the area of our expertise, we will use NEXGEN Environmental, Inc., a highly qualified and licensed Hazmat contractor, to remove and dispose of such materials. Debris Recycling CrowderGulf will implement debris recycling programs aligned with the Client's goals and objectives, as market conditions allow. When recycling is feasible, CrowderGulf will ensure all contractors comply with local, tribal, state, and federal environmental regulations. Any proceeds from recycled materials will be credited directly to the Client. 40 CrowderGulf cRowoeR RFP 2026011 Disaster Debris Management GULF Indian River County, FL Vegetative Debris Recycling Natural disasters generate large volumes of vegetative debris, presenting both logistical and environmental challenges. CrowderGulf prioritizes recycling over landfill disposal whenever possible, even when freight and tipping fees apply.With over 50 years of experience, CrowderGulf has developed innovative recycling strategies for wood chips, including: • Hurricane Ian (2023): Over 100,000 CY of mulch was distributed to nearly 30 agricultural Small Business Enterprises (SBEs) in Lee County, FL, supporting restoration efforts and reducing haul costs. Mulch was also delivered to composting facilities for use by nurseries and farms. • Biomass Fuel: Clean wood chips were used by paper mills after Hurricanes Michael (2018) and Isaac (2012). • International Recycling: Post -2003/2004 storm seasons, clean chips were exported to Italy for biomass fuel. Recycling Plan Highlights • Log Recovery: Tree trunks cut into 8'+ lengths will be separated and marketed to pulp, saw, and veneer mills, • Stump Management: Stumps will be split and burned (if permitted) or ground separately to avoid contamination. • Grinding Operations: Limbs, twigs, and inferior logs will be ground or burned using equipment designed to minimize dirt contamination. • Chip Distribution: Chips will be moved promptly to prevent fire hazards and buildup. • Fuel Partnerships: CrowderGulf maintains relationships with paper mills, sugar mills, and other biomass users across the Southeast. • Composting Sites: If permitted, CrowderGulf will secure rural land near chipping operations to compost surplus chips and clean ash for landscaping or agricultural use. C&D Debris Recycling Concrete, asphalt, and masonry debris may be crushed and reused as base material for road construction or trench backfill. The Client may choose to manage this recycling directly. For example, Galveston County repurposed crushed concrete from Hurricane Ike for road reconstruction and public building foundations. Metal debris from mobile homes, trailers, and appliances will be separated, crushed, baled, and recycled, Proceeds from recycled metals will be credited to the Client. Site Closure and Restoration Upon completion of debris reduction operations, CrowderGulf will restore all DMS to their pre-existing condition. All site restoration and closeout activities will be completed within 30 calendar days of Client notification that the final load of debris has been delivered, This includes: • Removal of all equipment, inspection towers, and temporary structures • Grading and restoration of burn pits • Hauling of remaining chipped or unburned materials to approved facilities • Disposal of separated materials (metals, plastics, white goods) per contract and regulatory requirements • Environmental Testing and Remediation: • Groundwater and soil testing, if required, will be billed to the Client as pass-through costs • Site reclamation and remediation will also be billed as pass-through costs A final inspection will be conducted by Client officials. Any discrepancies will be promptly addressed by CrowderGulf. Critical Operations: Documentation and Reimbursement CrowderGulf is committed to providing accurate, complete, and transparent documentation throughout the debris removal process. All records are readily accessible to the Client, FEMA, FHWA, and other agencies involved in reimbursement. Our documentation system is built on a foundation of financial accountability, field-based data collection, and compliance with FEMA's Public Assistance Program and Policy Guide. From project initiation to closeout, we maintain a robust system of checks and balances supported by the best available technology. CrowderGulf uses a two- phase documentation process to ensure precise tracking of debris operations, including truck certification and debris load ticket completion. Monitoring companies may be contracted by the Client to oversee and document debris operations. These firms typically use an Automated Debris Management System (ADMS) to capture all data required for FEMA reimbursement. 41 CROWDER CrowderGulf RFP 2026011 Disaster Debris Management Indian River Countv. FL CrowderGulf has extensive experience working with leading monitoring firms and is fully compatible with their systems and procedures. We prioritize open communication and collaboration with the Client's representatives to ensure documentation is accurate, timely, and accessible. Debris Hauling Documentation: Phase 1- Truck Certification All debris hauling trucks are certified in accordance with FEMA guidelines. Part of the certification procedure includes truck safety checks. Any trucks not meeting the safety requirements will not be certified until infractions are remedied. Documentation procedures include: • Measurement of truck bed dimensions by the Client's representative or monitoring firm • Safety and insurance verification • Completion of FEMA -compliant Truck Certification Forms (copies retained by the Client, CrowderGulf, and the driver) • Placards affixed to each truck displaying owner name, equipment number, and certified capacity • Optional barcode tagging for ADMS integration • Photo documentation of each truck and driver • Electronic Capacity Certification Log maintained for quality control Debris Hauling Documentation: Phase 2- Debris Load Ticket Completion The load ticket is the primary tracking document for debris movement from collection to disposal. If electronic ticketing (ADMS) is used, the following documentation procedures apply: • Field monitors initiate tickets by entering truck number, debris type, and pickup location • Tower monitors complete tickets by entering load volume at the DMS or disposal site • CrowderGulf receives and stores digital copies of all tickets in real-time or daily • Drivers may receive paper copies for reference If ADMS is not used, and the Client opts to self -monitor with manual ticketing, the following documentation procedures apply: • Multi -part paper tickets completed at loading and disposal sites • Client representatives at the loading site record and verify all required data; provide the debris hauler with partially complete ticket to take to the disposal site • Client representatives in the inspection tower at the disposal site/DMS receive the ticket and complete required disposal information • Copies distributed to the driver and CrowderGulf representative; Client retains original ticket • CrowderGulf field office processes and forwards tickets to the Home Office for quality control and archiving Accurate completion of both quantitative and descriptive data is essential for reimbursement and invoicing. CrowderGulf adapts seamlessly to either electronic or manual systems while maintaining FEMA compliance. Documentation of Special Projects In addition to standard debris removal, CrowderGulf supports special recovery projects initiated through formal Task Orders. Each Task Order outlines scope, rates, and documentation requirements. CrowderGulf maintains detailed records for each project in accordance with FEMA guidelines. Data Management CrowderGulf employs a comprehensive data collection and storage system tailored to each project. Whether using ADMS or manual ticketing, our database captures: • Quantitative and descriptive debris data • Ticket images for reconciliation and audit support • Real-time updates for operational decision-making • Long-term data retention for post -project support Our trained personnel ensure data integrity and functionality throughout the project lifecycle—and beyond. CrowderGulf maintains full-time documentation support staff available year-round, even after project completion. 42 CROWDER CrowderGulf GULF RFP 2026011 Disaster Debris Management s Indian River Countv, FL Reporting and Information Access CrowderGulf provides customized reports to support project planning and reimbursement.

We work closely with subcontractors and monitoring firms to ensure all data is verified before invoices are submitted. The Reconciliation Process is ongoing, and includes the following steps: • Subcontractors submit weekly invoices to CrowderGulf. • Our Documentation Team compares each invoice against data from the monitoring company's ADMS system. • Discrepancies are immediately addressed with both the monitoring firm and subcontractor. • Reconciliation is continuous throughout the project. • Once reconciled, CrowderGulf submits the invoice to the monitoring company. • Any remaining discrepancies are resolved collaboratively between the monitoring company and CrowderGulf. • The monitoring company then submits the final invoice to the Client. • CrowderGulf adheres to the invoicing schedule outlined in the contract. Invoices can be structured to meet the Client's preferences, including dollar limits per invoice, designated work periods (e.g., weekly), and/or task -specific invoicing as outlined in the contract. CrowderGulfs financial stability allows us to accommodate modified payment schedules when needed due to disaster severity or resource constraints. Documentation Maintenance CrowderGulf maintains all documentation for a period of at least 7-10 years, depending on the requirements. All tickets and truck certifications, task orders, and any other pertinent documentation are kept in both hard copy and electronic format. Having all documents in an organized electronic file allows for easy access if and when FEMA audits the work.
