4. Request from the Solid Waste Department for Approval of Contracts Related to
Debris Removal: Solid Waste Director David Lambert and Emergency
Management/Communications Director David Martin presented three pre -event emergency
contracts. They said in response to a component of the Emergency Management Plan, a
committee was established to outline the needs that would result from a disaster or emergency.
Lambert said debris removal was identified, and (1) a scope of services was created (2) RFPs
were requested and (3) recommendations were now being made, as follows, for companies to
provide this service.
a. Contract with CrowderGulf for Debris Removal Services: This company,
based in Alabama, submitted a comprehensive cost list for the removal of such items as trees,
stumps, dead animals, and so forth. It was noted also that the company would transport any
equipment necessary to remove the debris.
b. Contract with RW Beck for Debris Removal Monitoring Services: Lambert
said the necessity for this monitoring contract was due to a FEMA regulation prohibiting debris
removal companies from monitoring themselves. (This company, based in Florida, submitted a
flow chart indicating the methods to be used in monitoring truck load disposal tickets, the
reconciliation of contractor invoices, in audit oversight, and in resolution of appeals, among
other items.)
c. Approval of a Memorandum of Agreement with the NCDOT for Emergency
Removal of Debris: This memorandum will be activated if the state department is needed to
remove debris from secondary roads during a State of Disaster or Imminent Threat of a Disaster
as defined by G.S 14 & G.S. 166A.
Martin said the contracts would not be activated until an emergency had been declared,
and there had to be a Presidential Declaration to receive FEMA funds. He said the federal
government would be using more pilot programs for the awarding of Homeland Security funds,
and emergency contracts would help in securing future funding.
5. Request for the Selection of a Firm to Provide a Comprehensive Land Use Plan:
Planning/Development Director Ron Smith said the county's land use plan was approved in
1997, and it had been amended numerous times. He said a Request for Proposals was sent out to
seven firms and the following three submitted costs estimates.
Clarion Associates $ 89,500
Benchmark $ 89,711
Jordan Jones and Goulding $182,000
Smith recommended Clarion Associates for the work. He said $50,000 was available in
this year's budget to pay for part of the plan, and the remainder could be paid out of FY 08-09 funding.
Deputy County Manager Blumenstein said the project could be pre -audited as a multi-
year contract.
6. Request for Approval of a Method (Land Use Planning Process) to Develop Urban
Service Areas (USAs): Planning/Development Director Ron Smith said the updated land use
plan would identify high growth areas. He suggested that any USA agreements be addressed
through the new land use plan.
