Creek Debris Removal City of Winter Springs 6 Executive Summary In 1999 Looks Great Services, Inc. was founded in New York. The company has recruited, developed, and trained a team of individuals able to respond to client needs in a professional and courteous manner. In spring 2005, Looks Great Services of Charlotte was launched in North Carolina. In addition to the same services offered in New York, Charlotte added the manufacturing of vegetation products, such as mulch and topsoil, and moved into the land clearing/development industry. In spring 2010, Looks Great Services of MS was established opening operations in Columbia, MS and has the designation as a woman-owned small business. The increased demand for companies that provide utility line clearing as well as right-of- way clearing and maintenance in the mid-south region has allowed the company to continue its steady expansion to over 250 full-time employees. In 2024, Looks Great Services opened an office location in Dallas, Texas to further expand field operations. With locations in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and the Mid- South regions and 25 years of vegetative management experience, we are strategically positioned to provide vegetation services across the East Coast and beyond. In addition to the LGS equipment, we have pre-approved contractors which will provide immediate additional labor and equipment. We can quickly expand our services to over 1,000 pieces of equipment to meet the requirements necessary to handle any disaster. From destructive insects to winter ice damage, LGS is prepared to respond to situations anywhere in the United States. Our storm damage relief team is available to townships, cities, counties, and states. In cooperation with other professional organizations, today, LGS is continually asked to provide leadership, equipment, and personnel to aid in vegetation management.

Creek Debris Removal City of Winter Springs 8 Company Overview Synopsis Year Established: 1999 Current number of employees: 275 Bonding Capacity: $200 Million Successfully completed disaster projects: 250+ Experienced Management LGS has more than 250 full-time employees that are managed by several dozen professionals. These professions include degrees in Business and Finance, Occupational Safety, Biology, Emergency and Disaster Management, Construction Management, Land Management, Civil Engineering, Construction Engineering, Marketing, and Accounting. Members of management are also FEMA trained, NIMS trained, and OSHA Safety training. LGS has a wide array of experience in different geographical areas ranging from Maryland to Kansas and Texas to Florida, and even Puerto Rico. One of the core strengths of LGS’ management is its ability to adapt. One occasion was when a client in Mississippi did not have the local resources to operate its own landfill. LGS managed to hire a local subcontractor to provide oversight services and LGS self-performed the landfill operations. This accomplished multiple things that the client was ecstatic over: landfill operations were unimpeded, local minority subcontractor participation was utilized, and LGS brought a more positive economic impact to the client than was anticipated. LGS also has a strong commitment to safety. LGS has one of the lowest EMR ratings in its industry and prides itself on maintaining an exceptional safety record. LGS management instills a “Brother’s Keeper” mentality in its approach to safety. Rapid Mobilization With experience comes knowledge, and this has allowed LGS to evolve its deployment process. By streamlining and pre-planning, LGS can mobilize teams and equipment to predetermined staging areas until the storm passes. Post-storm, these teams can quickly begin assessing the damage and working closely with the client to put together a work plan. LGS can provide significant resources, equipment, and staff within 24 hours of a storm passing. For purposes of this RFP, LGS would deploy equipment and resources from its main office in Columbia. Financial Stability When it comes to finances, resources are not an obstacle for LGS. With a bonding capacity of 200 million dollars, working capital in excess of 20 million dollars, and the ability to cash-flow multiple projects simultaneously, LGS’ financial stability is without question solid. LGS also has the rare distinction of having no debt on any equipment or resources. TDSRS Final Haul-Out Monitor Tower 136 Looks Great Services of MS, Inc.

Creek Debris Removal City of Winter Springs 44 Subcontracting Plan Corporate Policy As a Woman-Owned Small Business and DBE, Looks Great Services of MS, Inc. (LGS), in efforts to ensure compliance with FAR Part 19, although as a small business we are not required to do so, and in anticipation of similar requirements as are contained in this solicitation, has previously developed this Local and Small Business Participation Plan (LSBPP) for implementation during operations. This LSBPP shall be made part of and included in any subsequent subcontracts let by LGS where FAR Part 19 applies. In conjunction with this LSBPP, for each contract subject to the FAR, LGS shall develop a contract specific Small Business Subcontracting Plan (SBSP) to ensure compliance and make each subsequent SBSP be attached hereto as a supplement to this LSBPP. LGS’ corporate policy is that all business, whether large or small, be afforded an opportunity for full participation in the free enterprise system, and to implement this policy, LGS is committed to promoting full and equitable participation by qualified small business in the provision of goods and services to City of Winter Springs through subcontract to LGS. In compliance with FAR Part 19, the LSBPP includes, at a minimum: 1) Each subcontracting plan required under 19.702(a)(1) and (2) must include – i) Separate percentage goals for using small business concerns and small disadvantaged business concerns as subcontractors; ii) The name of an individual employed by the offeror who will administer the offeror's subcontracting program, and a description of the duties of the individual; iii) A description of the efforts the offeror will make to ensure that small business concerns and small disadvantaged business concerns will have an equitable opportunity to compete for subcontracts; iv) Assurances that the offeror will include the clause at 52.219-8, Utilization of Small Business Concerns and Small Disadvantaged Business Concerns (see 19.708(b)), in all subcontracts that offer further subcontracting opportunities, and that the offeror will require all subcontractors (except small business concerns) that receive subcontracts in excess of $500,000 ($1,000,000 for construction) to adopt a plan similar to the plan required by the clause at 52.219-9, Small Business and Small Disadvantaged Business Subcontracting Plan (see 19.708 (c)); v) Assurances that the offeror will (i) cooperate in any studies or surveys as may be required, (ii) submit periodic reports in order to allow the Government to determine the extent of compliance by the offeror with the subcontracting plan, and (iii) submit Standard Form (SF) 294, Subcontracting Report for Individual Contracts, and SF 295, Summary Subcontract Report, in accordance with the instructions on the forms. vi) A recitation of the types of records the offeror will maintain to demonstrate procedures adopted to comply with the requirements and goals in the plan, including establishing source lists; and a description of the efforts to locate small and small disadvantaged business concerns and to award subcontracts to them. 2) Contractors may establish, on a plant or division-wide basis, a master subcontracting plan which contains all the elements required by the clause at 52.219-9, Small Business and Small Disadvantaged Business Subcontracting Plan, except goals. Master plans shall be effective for a 1-year period after approval by the contracting officer; however, a master plan when incorporated in an individual plan shall apply to that contract throughout the life of the contract. 3) For contracts containing options, the cumulative value of the basic contract and all options is considered in determining whether a subcontracting plan is necessary (see 19.705-2(a)). If a plan is necessary and the offeror is submitting an individual contract plan, the plan shall contain all the elements required by 19.704(a) and shall contain separate parts, one for the basic contract and one for each option. 172 Looks Great Services of MS, Inc.

Creek Debris Removal City of Winter Springs 45 Methods to Determine Qualified Subcontractors LGS will use a prequalification process to determine the subcontractors to meet Federal and Local goals as per the specifications in the RFP. The prequalification process will provide a way to select subcontractors that meet the requirements set forth by the governing bodies. The prequalification process will look for the following: 1) Familiarity with Certified Payroll; 2) Certified Small Business classification (as applicable) 3) Worker’s Comp and Liability Insurance are in place as required; 4) Adequate equipment to perform work according to the specifications; 5) Ability to maintain equipment; 6) Ability to put a safety plan in place as required. LGS will also work with the City and other governing bodies in prequalification process in order to assemble the best possible team to perform the work. Inclusion of FAR 52.219-8 LGS will include contract clause FAR 52.219-8 in all subcontracts that offer further subcontracting opportunities and will require all subcontractors (except small business concerns) that receive contracts more than $500,000.00 ($1,000,000.00 for construction) to adopt a plan similar to the LGS Small Business Subcontracting Plan (SBSP) and as required by FAR 52.219- 9, Small Business and Small Disadvantaged Business Subcontracting Plan. Good Faith Efforts Having utilized small business subcontractor support on past projects, LGS has developed and maintained an extensive subcontractor database. To expand this database and include more SB and DBE concerns in the impacted areas, additional published electronic data resource information has been and will continue to be used in our operations nationally. Documentation of our outreach programs supporting SB subcontracting efforts, Letters of Commitment and other periodic internal reports will be maintained by LGS and shall be available for review at any time by the government. Many of the services required under this solicitation will be performed using our own internal resources and our team’s existing nationwide personnel, facilities, and equipment. However, LGS has already reached out to local SBs and DBEs in response to this RFP. A list of local business concerns, including SBs and DBEs are included at the end of this section. LGS takes great pride in our long history of rapidly mobilizing and effectively managing large teams of subcontractors. Services and Supplies to Subcontract LGS plans to subcontract a portion of the following item(s) in relation to the goals contained herein for any subsequent contract because of this solicitation:  Curbside/Right-of-way debris collection and transportation  Equipment transportation for mobilization and operational support  Demolition of structures (should we be tasked with this operation)  Debris reduction operations (should we be tasked with this operation)  Debris disposal operations  Debris recycling for beneficial reuse  General labor  Safety and Loss Control Services  Quality Assurance/Quality Control  Environmental Services 173 Looks Great Services of MS, Inc.

LGS has put in place a Technical Approach and a Debris Management Plan that are applicable to any type of event, no matter the severity. Please refer to the Technical Approach, Debris Management Process Plans and Procedures, Geographic Area Management, Contractor Site Specific Safety and Health Plans, Quality System Management, and Disaster Waste Reduction and Recycling Sections in the following pages for an in-depth explanation of this management plan. The plans mentioned above are included in the Technical Approach and Debris Plan of this proposal and are designed to be adaptable and scalable based on any type of event. Spot Jobs – Localized In this scenario, the Project Manager will begin performing damage assessments with the City’s representatives and monitoring company. The PM will then begin coordinating logistics with the City and landfills. Further, the PM will be determining the number of crews needed to provide removal, hauling, and/or reduction of localized debris. This includes activating local subcontractors for immediate resources as needed. LGS will be assisting government resources as well. For an in-depth breakdown of the debris operations, please see the Debris Management Plan of this proposal. Small Event This will entail the same steps as in the Localized event above but will have the addition of a debris management site. LGS will coordinate with the City a debris site(s) for stockpiling debris that will allow for ideal haul routes, meet federal, state, and local regulations, and provide a layout to unload debris in the most efficient manner. A site management supervisor will be provided to oversee and maintain the site operations. In this scenario, LGS will utilize “zones” for debris removal as mentioned in the Debris Plan. This will allow for organized operations and presence throughout the City simultaneously. Reduction will be completed by way of grinding or burning. In the event there is C&D debris, it will be separated and compacted at the debris site. For an in-depth breakdown of the debris operations, please see the Debris Plan of this proposal. Significant Event This includes all the scope from the previous event types but will utilize larger scale reduction operations at a designated TDSRS. The PM will help coordinate the location of the debris site. Monitor towers will be placed at the entrance and debris site access roads will be maintained to allow for efficient unloading operations. The grinders or incinerators, if used, will be placed in a location to allow for trucks to unload uninterrupted, but allow for debris to be near maximize production. Chips will then be stockpiled in a separate area so as not to impede traffic but be accessible for loading into walking floor trucks to be disposed of accordingly. Ash will be handled in a manner to not be mixed with soils or become airborne. Disposal will be handled in accordance with DEQ regulations. All FEMA, federal, state, and local regulations will be adhered to throughout the process. Significant/Catastrophic Events These events include everything from the previous event types but expand the operations further. Multiple debris sites are possible and will be jointly coordinated. Hauling will be coordinated from Zones and Sectors to each debris site. Hazardous waste will be separated and contained as per regulations. LGS will provide planning and management of all debris removal operations, including traffic control, recycling, and permitting. LGS will utilize a Project Manager (Sean Hunt) with multiple Assistant Managers to oversee the project. 176 Looks Great Services of MS, Inc.

Creek Debris Removal City of Winter Springs 49 Technical Approach Field Organizational Structure 177 Looks Great Services of MS, Inc. Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction on the title page of this proposal. Creek Debris Removal City of Winter Springs 50 Technical Approach and Methodology Prior to commencing debris removal operations and within 48 hours, or as required in the Task Order, Looks Great Services of MS, Inc. (LGS) will submit to City of Winter Springs the Contractor Quality Control and Operations Plans which describe the organizational structure and additional key personnel involved in the cleanup, the technical approach and methodology to be used, site specific operational components, the specific geographical area management, the LGS Site Specific Health and Safety Plan (SSHSP), Accident Prevention Plan (APP), Activity Hazard Analysis (AHAs), a copy of the LGS Quality Control Plan (CQC), and approaches to waste reduction and recycling through Beneficial Re-Use, all specific to the Task Order and Area of Operations (AO). The Plan will indicate where operations will begin and which streets/roads will be cleared during the initial period though submission of a 2, 7- and 14-day plan. Operation locations will be decided upon and in conjunction with the City. The Contractor Quality Control and Operations Plans will be updated by the LGS Operations Manager and CQC System Manager as necessary and as required by City of Winter Springs. LGS' final Contractor Quality Control and Operations Plans will include organizational structure and key personnel involved in the cleanup, updated technical approach and methodology to be used, updated site-specific operational components, updated specific geographical area management, updated SSHSP, updated APP, updated AHAs, updated CQC, and updated approaches to waste reduction and recycling through Beneficial Re- Use. The plan will also include continually updated submissions of 2, 7- and 14-day plans, all specific to the Task Order and AO as well as work to be performed by subcontractors, a comprehensive list of subcontractors at each tier, and measures to be taken by LGS and its subcontractors to control hazards associated with services performed, and materials or equipment utilized. During implementation of services, LGS will attend all meetings convened by City of Winter Springs with respect to the response effort, when directed by the City to do so or otherwise necessary to carry out the work. The KO may/will issue subsequent TOs to mobilize and begin Emergency Road Clearance, Debris Removal from Public Roads, Streets and ROWs and Hauling to Debris Management or Final Disposal Sites, Vegetative Debris Reduction at Debris Management Sites (TDSRS) including site management, Final Disposal of Reduced Chips, Testing of Ash and Disposal at Landfill, Removal of Freon Containing White Goods, Removal of Non-Freon Containing White Goods, construction of an Inspection Tower(s), construction of a Hazardous Waste Containment Area(s), deployment of Household Hazardous Waste Separation and Removal Crew(s), activation of Debris Separation Crew(s), and activation of Search and Rescue Support Crew(s) and /or HTRW Separation Crew(s). Resource Management and Logistics LGS utilizes the National Incident Management System (NIMS) wherein we have established systems for describing, inventorying, requesting, and tracking resources. Debris Management and Event Response activities require carefully managed resources (personnel, teams, facilities, equipment and/or supplies) to meet event needs. Utilization of the Radial Form Technology (RaFT) iPad-based database system allows for resource typing, inventorying, organizing, and tracking the dispatch, deployment and recovery of resources before, during and after an event. Resource management should be dynamic in nature to support any event and be adaptable to changes. Efficient and effective deployment of resources requires that resource management concepts and principles be used in all phases of Debris Management and Event Response. The resource management process can be separated into two parts: resource management as an element of preparedness and resource management during an event. The preparedness activities (resource typing, credentialing, and inventorying) are conducted on a continual basis to help ensure that resources are ready to be mobilized when called to an event. Resource management during an event is a finite process, as shown in the below figure, with a distinct beginning and ending specific to the needs of the event. 178 Looks Great Services of MS, Inc.

Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction on the title page of this proposal. Creek Debris Removal City of Winter Springs 52 FEMA Public Assistance Program (Reimbursement Process) FEMA Programs and other Funding Streams LGS works within and in compliance with the law, the regulations, and FEMA’s codified policies regarding the FEMA Public Assistance (PA) Program. This includes, but is not limited to, the Sandy Recovery Improvement Act’s amendments to the Stafford Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.), Section 428, Public Assistance Alternative Procedures (PAAP) and the PAAP Pilot Program for Debris Removal (https://www.fema.gov/alternative-procedures) performed under Section 407 (42 U.S.C. 5173), Debris Removal, of the Stafford Act. The debris pilot program allows for increases in the federal share of grant monies for PA program applicants for eligible debris removal costs incurred during certain initial time periods following a disaster, with certain restrictions and programmatic requirements. LGS has as one of its core principles to provide professional services that benefit the client in every way possible. That principle leads LGS to work diligently to increase our response level and the amounts of work that can safely be accomplished during those initial time periods to maximize the reimbursement potential for our clients under the PAAP Pilot Program for Debris Removal. LGS ensures that our clients are aware of how the critical documentation trail must provide the proper substantiation for our clients to successfully acquire that funding. Further, LGS has a long standing relationship with FEMA programmatic management consulting experts that LGS makes available to our clients to ensure that our clients maximize eligible programmatic funding, and that our clients are able to both identify the eligible work that can be performed, and the numerous funding streams available to our clients to help them fund the monumental task that is the recovery process following a disaster – that assistance covers all disaster recovery programs and is not limited to only debris removal – please see the resume section for more details on the FEMA programmatic management consulting experts. Documentation and Reimbursement LGS has a proven history in supporting our clients with accurate and complete documentation. This documentation is made readily available to any reimbursement agency or client. Records are tracked daily from the beginning of the project to final closeout. Financial accountability is maintained via a system based on the field data that’s gathered and reconciled. All documentation systems comply with FEMA 325 guidelines. Debris Hauling Documentation 180 Looks Great Services of MS, Inc. Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction on the title page of this proposal. Creek Debris Removal City of Winter Springs 53 Phase 1 – Truck Certification Debris trucks are all certified prior to beginning a project. This includes:  Measuring the truck beds to determine an accurate cubic yard capacity.  Driver, safety, and insurance checks.  Truck Certification Form is completed, and a copy is retained by the driver, monitor, and client.  Placards displaying capacity, project truck number, and contractor’s name are affixed to the truck.  Monitors are given truck logs to verify placards as an added measure of accuracy. Phase 2 –Tickets Tickets are electronic or multi-part and are required for reimbursement purposes. Client representatives or monitors will fill out and sign off on completed tickets. These will then be used in the reconciliation and QC process. The tickets used are as follows: Debris Load Tickets are a 5-part ticket that records the transport of debris from the collection point to the DMS or final disposal site. Monitors document the operations at each location to ensure proper protocols. Leaner/Hanger Tickets are a 5-part ticket that records the trimming or removal or leaning trees or hanging limbs. Monitors document the size, location, and other various aspects of the process. Daily Log Tickets are a 2-part ticket that records the hours worked by the contractor’s labor and equipment when hourly rate items are activated. Monitors log and verify each unit’s hours worked throughout the day. Data Management LGS uses a database system that is easily adaptable to any requirements. Regardless of whether the electronic or physical documentation is utilized, LGS’ database can track and extract data for use in the reconciliation process. LGS has trained employees who carefully prepare reconciled reports on a weekly or semi-weekly basis to submit with invoicing. Working with the monitors, LGS compares these reports with the monitors as an added checks and balances system, which helps to expedite the reimbursement process. Once the data is reconciled and completed, LGS will maintain and store all records for a minimum of 7 years. Both electronic and physical copies are catalogued and stored for quick access as needed. Reimbursement LGS works closely with all agencies to ensure issues are minimized or eliminated in disaster reimbursement projects. As an example, LGS was recently asked to produce ticket records for an audit that the debris monitor was engaged in. The monitor could not find records on more than two dozen tickets. Within less than 2 hours LGS found the copies of the missing tickets in its database and submitted them to the respective parties. This helped the monitor and the client greatly in their reimbursement process. LGS will give the same “over-the-top” service to all its clients. As an added measure, LGS has personnel that are well-versed in CFR, PAPPG, and other FEMA guidelines and are available to assist the client in completing any required documentation for reimbursement. 181 Looks Great Services of MS, Inc.

Bidder Experience in Creek Debris Removal Rapid Response Disaster Services LLC possesses a robust history of executing creek and waterway debris removal projects that reflect both technical expertise and compliance with stringent regulatory frameworks. The company’s approach to debris removal in aquatic environments is grounded in a comprehensive understanding of the unique challenges posed by narrow, sensitive waterways and the need to minimize environmental disturbance while maximizing operational efficiency. Our experience includes managing debris removal along extensive linear footage of creeks and streams, similar in scope to the City of Winter Springs project. We have successfully executed projects involving thousands of linear feet of creek debris clearance, often coordinating closely with municipal stakeholders to ensure alignment with local environmental regulations and stormwater management goals. Our work has frequently been conducted under federally funded programs, such as FEMA Public Assistance and the NRCS EWP grant, which require meticulous documentation, adherence to environmental protections, and compliance with grant-specific guidelines. A core element of our creek debris removal methodology is the deployment of a mixed approach leveraging both manual labor and mechanized equipment tailored to site conditions. Due to the narrow and sensitive nature of creek environments, we utilize small-scale machinery such as mini excavators equipped with hydraulic thumbs and wide tracks to reduce ground disturbance. Where accessibility permits, we operate marooka carriers and small barges to access aquatic debris, enabling efficient removal with minimal impact to creek banks and habitats. Our operational process begins with thorough site assessments to identify debris target locations and access constraints. This proactive reconnaissance informs our equipment staging and removal strategies, ensuring that the work proceeds safely and efficiently. Debris is loaded at strategic access points such as roadway and bridge crossings, complying with the City’s requirement that no debris be stockpiled on site or disposed of within wooded or natural areas. The company’s fleet capabilities are extensive and adaptable, including knuckleboom trucks, grapple trucks, dump trailers, roll-off containers, and specialized barges. This equipment diversity enables us to tailor logistics for hauling and disposal efficiently. All debris collected is transported directly to approved County landfill sites of Class III or higher, in strict accordance with contract specifications and environmental regulations. Our team’s technical proficiency extends to environmental stewardship during creek operations. We employ Best Management Practices (BMPs) such as the use of mats under heavy equipment to prevent rutting, adherence to a downstream-to-upstream workflow to minimize sediment disturbance, and the careful removal of debris to avoid damage to standing vegetation and habitat structures. These practices are integral to maintaining compliance with federal, state, 8 239 Rapid Response Disaster Services LLC Response to ITB #04-25-01 PH City of Winter Springs Florida and local environmental mandates and to preserving the ecological integrity of the creeks we service. Rapid Response Disaster Services LLC has a proven track record of working in close coordination with municipal agencies, utility providers, and regulatory bodies. This collaboration ensures that all permits are secured and that utility locations are identified and protected, mitigating risks of damage or service interruptions. Our experience with permit procurement and regulatory compliance reduces project delays and facilitates smooth execution. Our adherence to FEMA and USACE protocols is demonstrated through rigorous documentation standards that support full reimbursement eligibility. We maintain detailed records including load tickets, GPS-verified photographic documentation of before and after conditions at all debris removal sites, daily reporting, and comprehensive billing summaries that align with federal grant requirements. This disciplined approach has enabled our clients to achieve complete reimbursement with zero denials or disputes. The company’s experience includes managing debris removal after multiple hurricanes and flooding events in Florida and other states, with particular emphasis on waterway restoration. We bring lessons learned from these projects, such as the critical importance of balancing mechanical efficiency with environmental sensitivity and the value of maintaining transparent communication with all stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle. Our project teams are led by highly qualified personnel with extensive certifications in debris operations, erosion control, safety compliance, and environmental protection. This expertise ensures that creek debris removal is conducted safely, effectively, and in compliance with all applicable regulations.

Assistant Secretary 25 256 Rapid Response Disaster Services LLC Response to ITB #04-25-01 PH City of Winter Springs Florida 5.2. Project Timeline Rapid Response Disaster Services LLC proposes a comprehensive and efficient project timeline designed to meet and exceed the City of Winter Springs’ expectations for the Creek Debris Removal Services project. Our approach ensures a rapid mobilization of both personnel and equipment, enabling us to commence work promptly after the issuance of the Notice to Proceed (NTP). This timeline reflects our extensive experience gained from 28 disaster response events led by our President, Donovan Kimmer, and 24 led by Vice President Levi Blitch, ensuring that we deploy resources effectively while maintaining adherence to regulatory and safety standards. Within seven calendar days of receiving the NTP, we will have all necessary equipment staged onsite, including specialized machinery such as mini excavators with hydraulic thumbs, marookas, and knuckleboom trucks, alongside hand crews and chainsaw teams. Simultaneously, project management staff, including the Project Manager and Superintendent, will be mobilized to coordinate daily operations and maintain communication with City representatives. This initial phase will also include obtaining all required permits and finalizing site access logistics in coordination with the City Project Manager to ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations. By day ten post-NTP, full active operations will be underway, focusing on prioritized areas based on debris severity and site accessibility. This phase will utilize our mixed-method approach combining manual labor and small equipment to minimize environmental impact on creek banks and surrounding vegetation, as detailed in the project specifications. The sequence of work will progress downstream to upstream according to the City's directives, ensuring efficient debris removal while protecting existing natural habitats and infrastructure. We anticipate achieving substantial completion of debris removal activities within 30 to 45 calendar days, contingent upon site conditions and weather. During this period, our crews will systematically address all targeted debris locations across the six named creeks, with careful documentation of before-and-after conditions using GPS-tagged photographs submitted weekly to the City. This reporting cadence supports transparency and assists with grant and reimbursement documentation requirements under the NRCS Emergency Watershed Protection Program. Following debris removal completion, a demobilization phase of up to 10 calendar days will be conducted, during which all equipment and personnel will be withdrawn from the site, and final inspections will be coordinated with the City. We will also compile and deliver comprehensive project closeout documentation, including detailed work summaries, billing reports, and photographic evidence, to facilitate efficient processing of grant reimbursements and ensure full compliance with federal funding guidelines. 26 257 Rapid Response Disaster Services LLC Response to ITB #04-25-01 PH City of Winter Springs Florida To summarize the schedule milestones and reporting commitments: ● Mobilization completed and onsite readiness within 7 days of Notice to Proceed. ● Full operational status and active debris removal by day 10 post-NTP. ● Targeted debris removal completion within 30 to 45 days, with adherence to environmental and safety standards. ● Weekly progress reports including GPS-stamped photographic documentation submitted to City Project Manager. ● Demobilization and final project closeout within 10 days after completion of field work. ● Delivery of comprehensive documentation to support NRCS and FEMA reimbursement processes. This timeline reflects Rapid Response Disaster Services LLC’s refined rapid response model, honed through extensive experience managing federally funded debris operations. Our methodical schedule ensures accelerated mobilization, efficient work sequencing, and consistent communication to maintain accountability and meet the City’s expectations for timely project delivery. The integration of detailed progress reporting aligns with federal program requirements and supports ongoing transparency throughout the project lifecycle. 27 258 Rapid Response Disaster Services LLC Response to ITB #04-25-01 PH City of Winter Springs Florida 6.

BIDDER EXPERIENCE James W. Turner Construction, Ltd. (JWTC) is proud to submit this proposal for the City of Winter Springs for Creek Debris Removal. JWTC is uniquely qualified to support this program based on our longstanding philosophy of service, extensive program experience, proven capability, and a strong track record of customer satisfaction. Our competitive advantage is evident throughout this response and clearly demonstrates our capacity to fulfill all requirements outlined in the RFQ. For more than 37 years, JWTC has specialized in disaster recovery and community restoration efforts using funding from FEMA, HUD CDBG, CDBG-DR, HRA, HOME, and other federal sources. We have successfully delivered large-scale demolition and debris removal services in both pre- and post-disaster settings, and we bring the management infrastructure, workforce capacity, and operational expertise needed to perform high-volume, high-quality disaster response services throughout Florida - including the City of Winter Springs. JWTC’s experience spans an extensive portfolio of disaster-related recovery operations, including structural demolition, debris removal, site clearance, and emergency response activities following major hurricanes and flooding events. A significant portion of this work has taken place in Florida and surrounding areas. Specifically, in response to Hurricane Ian and subsequent flood events, JWTC has been instrumental in clearing, preparing, and restoring hundreds of residential and community sites, enabling rapid and compliant recovery efforts across the Gulf Coast. Our established operational presence in the region positions us to mobilize quickly and effectively. Over the past 37 years, JWTC has supported more than 60 federally funded disaster programs across Texas, the U.S. mainland, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. We are well-versed in federal guidelines and funding compliance requirements, particularly under FEMA and HUD disaster response mandates. From Hurricanes Rita and Ike to Harvey and Imelda, JWTC has played a central role in the logistical and field operations of some of the state’s largest disaster recovery efforts. Our leadership, under James W. “J.W.” Turner, brings over 43 years of experience in construction, demolition, and emergency response. Our team includes professionals with more than 800 years of combined experience in disaster recovery operations. We have built a reputation for providing efficient, compliant, and community-focused services — including the safe removal of debris, coordination of temporary staging areas, management of environmental concerns, and logistical support during times of crisis. JWTC and our partners have substantial experience in disaster response services — including structural and site debris clearance, removal, TDMS management, emergency protective measures, and infrastructure clearance. We understand the critical importance of timely, safe, and compliant cleanup services in the wake of natural disasters. We have previously worked within similar regulatory frameworks and are committed to aligning our work with all applicable local, regional, state, and federal requirements. This includes FEMA debris monitoring protocols, environmental permitting standards, and all codes relevant to disaster response and public safety. JWTC and our partners’ extensive disaster recovery and debris removal experience spans numerous activations across the nation, including Hurricanes Ian (September 2022), Ida (August 2021, Washington Parish, LA), Sally (September 2020, Baldwin County, AL), and Michael (October 2018, Bay County, FL).

Page 15376 CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION This proposal contains confidential and proprietary information, and it should not be made public according to Gov’t Code. James W. Turner Construction, Ltd. | City of Winter Springs Creek Debris Removal Services LOCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR WINTER SPRINGSGiven these factors, Winter Springs may face increased oversight, regulatory changes, and fiscal challenges that could influence theexecution and funding of debris removal contracts. JWTC is aware of the significant flooding experienced In Winter Springs afterHurricanes Ian and Nicole and the continued efforts in Seminole County to clear debris, remove creek sediment and stabilize banks tomitigate the effects of similar storms in the future. JWTC will will work with Seminole County and Winter Springs representatives toensure only the most effective measures are taken and work is completed effectively for this ITB. POLITICAL AND LEGAL FACTORSState Preemption of Local AuthorityRecent legislation has expanded state control over municipal decisions, limiting local governments' ability to regulate energy sourcesand utility services. For example, House Bill 1523 prohibits municipalities from restricting the types of energy sources used withintheir jurisdictions and imposes conditions on utility service agreements, including requirements for public meetings and limitations onthe use of utility revenues for general government functions . These preemptions may affect how Winter Springs manages itsinfrastructure and utility services, potentially influencing debris removal operations that intersect with utility systems. Establishment of the Florida Accountability Office (FAO)The Florida House has advanced HB 5009, creating the Florida Accountability Office, an independent watchdog agency withenhanced enforcement powers. This move follows reports of mismanagement in municipalities like Winter Springs, where audits havehighlighted issues such as financial mismanagement and environmental regulation violations. The FAO's oversight could lead toincreased scrutiny of municipal contracts and operations, including debris removal services. Immigration Enforcement AgreementsWinter Springs has recently entered into an agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to participate in a taskforce, following state pressure and the example set by Fort Myers . This partnership may have implications for the city's workforcepolicies and could affect labor availability for contractors, especially those employing immigrant labor for debris removal and relatedservices. ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONSUnresolved State Budget and Fiscal UncertaintyThe 2025 Florida legislative session concluded without an agreed-upon state budget, necessitating a return to the Capitol to avoid agovernment shutdown . This fiscal uncertainty may delay funding allocations to municipalities, potentially impacting Winter Springs'budget for services like debris removal. SECTION D - QUALIFICATIONS4.

Since that time, Ceres has responded to hundreds of disaster events across the U.S., on remote island chains and even in different countries. In that time, Ceres has grown from a single company into a multinational family of companies and divisions that provide resources, support, and services to the Disaster Recovery Division. These business units currently employ a total of more than 600 trained and experienced core personnel; this core team has expanded to over 1,500 when necessary, during recovery response missions. Our team possesses competencies and capabilities in the following areas. ▪ The Ground Up – Houston-based green waste recycling company focusing on yard waste disposal, grinding, and mulching operations. ▪ Vesta Equity – an investment company specializing in finance and real estate. Part of its mission is supplying financing for business operations and real estate ventures. Ceres uses our affiliated company Vesta as a financing resource, allowing Ceres to easily finance our activities. For example, during our 2018-19 storm response, Ceres utilized working capital of approximately $100 million in several instances, including during California wildfire recovery work. ▪ C.T.L. Forest Management, Inc. – California forestry focused company that performs large-scale post-wildfire hazard tree removal programs in Oregon and California and conducts disaster mitigation, such as fuels reduction and fire hardening projects. Ceres/C.T.L. are the largest owner/operator of Sennebogens in the world. This specialty tree removal equipment utilizes a cutter head and elevated cab to limit tree personnel on the ground to remove hazardous trees. ▪ Civil Works – focused on large, horizontal construction projects such as levees, dikes, and other flood control works. ▪ Equipment – supports Disaster Response and Civil Works managing 2,019 pieces of equipment and 33 mechanics, as well as additional support personnel. The companies fulfilled a long-term Corporate strategic goal of owner and President David McIntyre – to develop a suite of diversified, yet complementary and related businesses to support Disaster Recovery and Response in any large and diverse disaster debris activation(s). Each business unit and division play a vital role in the overall company strategy and Ceres can draw on the strength and synergies of each company to ensure that the personnel, technology, equipment, and finances required to successfully complete large- scale missions. This strategy allows Ceres to: ▪ Retain long-term employees between disaster recovery assignments ▪ Keep heavy equipment on-hand, at-the-ready and operational ▪ Provide financing to ensure that we can pay subcontractors promptly and purchase additional equipment necessary to self-perform Waterway Debris Removal Experience Ceres has extensive experience removing debris from waterways. Ceres cleared rivers, streams, waterways, and canals following such disasters as the 2016 Louisiana Floods and Hurricane Katrina. Our team successfully completed debris removal projects nationwide, serving clients such as Livingston Parish, St. Tammany Parish, the City of Savannah, GA; Merced County, CA; Linn County, IA, among others. In 2023, Ceres worked in St. Tammany Parish, LA, clearing 381,333 linear feet of waterway within the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. This project was funded by NRCS. Ceres working in Livingston Parish, LA 460 City of Winter Springs ITB #04-25-01 PH Creek Debris Removal Services Tab D Qualifications Section 1 General Information Page D.1-3 In 2022-2023, Ceres removed vegetative and non-vegetative debris from the City of Cape Coral canals. The scope of this project included collecting, chipping, and disposing of 750,000 cubic yards of vegetative debris and collecting and disposing of 800 cubic yards of C&D, covering over 400 miles of both saltwater and freshwater canals. In 2018-2023, Ceres provided Livingston Parish, LA stream debris removal services for waterways in an effort to mitigate local flood risks and enhance scenic waterways and wildlife under the NRCS Emergency Watershed Protection Program. Ceres completed 3,554,683 linear feet of waterways, reducing flooding and removing obstructions from over 600 miles of bayous, creeks, rivers, and ditches. During the project, Ceres regularly met with Livingston Parish, NRCS and USACE partners to conduct site visits of ongoing work. Ceres project management staff also met weekly with superintendents and foreman to discuss the USACE permits including the drawings and specifications within the permits. All permits and ROE information are provided to the superintendents and permits using DropBox accounts for ease of reference and sorted by lateral. With this experience, Ceres understands how to work with federal, state and local agencies to include U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, The Natural Resource Conservation Service and The United States Fish and Wildlife Agency. Ceres knows how to work with NRCS and the U.S. Corps of Engineers to secure Section 404 permits. Ceres collected over 750,000 CY of waterway debris for the City of Cape Coral 461 City of Winter Springs ITB #04-25-01 PH Creek Debris Removal Services Tab D Qualifications Section 1 General Information Page D.1-1 Organizational Structure Ceres Environmental Services, Inc. is a privately held company owned and operated by its President, David McIntyre. The mobilizatio n and contract administration headquarters for this contract will be our Sarasota, Florida office, with other offices, equipment fa cilities, staging sites, and recycling centers in Louisiana, Texas, Minnesota, and California. Ceres is structured so that one or two of the corporate officers can be absent from headquarters for extended periods of time in order to manage projects from the field. There are always one or two remaining at headquarters to ensure continuity of manageme nt. This proved very useful when Ceres was awarded a $1 billion contract by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to perform a disaster debris contract following H urricanes Katrina and Rita, in which two of Ceres’ officers were in the field in Louisiana for ove r six months. There have been no significant changes in organizational structure, ownership, or management both firm-wide during the past five (5) years Ceres Environmental Services, Inc. Founder and President David McIntyre Corporate Secretary Tia Laurie Director of Disaster Recovery Operations Rob Smith Project Manager Brent Whitten Contract / Subcontract Manager Tia Laurie Director of Accounting Operations Linda Smith Additional Operations Personnel Based on Contract Needs Health and Safety Director Martin Rodriguez Quality Control Manager Randy Hardy FEMA Reimbursement Specialist Bo Ansley Senior Vice President John Ulschmid Key Project Team 462 City of Winter Springs ITB #04-25-01 PH Creek Debris Removal Services Tab D Qualifications Section 1 General Information Page D.1-1 Project Management In Ceres experience, disaster recovery is project-based. It is best managed using the principles of formal project management that are also embedded in the National Incident Management System and its Incident Command System (ICS). Therefore, Ceres has organized its disaster response work in a manner that relies heavily on a Project Manager (PM) whose position is analogous to the Incident Commander under the ICS. The PM oversees all field production and supervises a Project Administrator who is in charge of administrative functions on a project basis. The PM also supervises the Project Superintendent and several Area Managers (whose quantity depends on the size of the project), who supervise Sector Managers, who supervise Site Managers. The Site Managers supervise a physical location, which may be a TDSR site, a debris loading site, or a demolition site, and the personnel they supervise are generally foremen or people physically performing the work. The Project Manager also supervises the work of a Logistics Manager and an Area Administrator, who are staff members. At the Sector level, it is customary to have office staff. This structure allows for optimal production since multiple crews (depending on project size) are supervised and maintained while all safety, data management, and tracking protocols are being met in conjunction with quality performance. The Project Administrator supervises the administrative staff on a field project. The staff provides support for the line managers and supervisors in the field on the jobsite. The Small Business Plan Administrator locates contracts with and administers relations with subcontractors. On large projects, the Small Business Plan Administrator may have clerical help, and will provide technical support for our subcontractors, such as assistance in preparing certified payrolls if required. The Information Technology (IT) department is responsible for tracking all types of data on the project, record keeping, and database management, and the accounting staff provides onsite support for Ceres personnel. Project Safety Ceres maintains a Corporate Health and Safety Officer to whom the Environmental Manager and a Project Safety Manager report for each project underway. Sector Managers report to the Environmental Manager and Project Safety Manager, and functional specialists work in the field with specialized training to fill specific needs such as asbestos inspections. The Project Safety Manager in the field is responsible to the Corporate Health and Safety Officer for monitoring safety conditions and developing measures for ensuring the safety of all assigned personnel. Ceres Project Management organization can be adjusted to fit the size of the project and the area of coverage by changing the number of Area, Sector and Site Managers. Additional Safety Officers, Functional Safety Specialists and Sector Safety Managers can be added as needed for coverage and to keep spans of control between three and five. 463 City of Winter Springs ITB #04-25-01 PH Creek Debris Removal Services Tab D Qualifications Section 1 General Information Page D.1-2 Project Contractor Quality Control The Contractor Quality Control (CQC) System Manager reports directly to the Company President in accordance with best corporate practice. Depending on the size of the event, the organization can be readily expanded by adding additional Area and Sector Managers and Functional Specialists. This allows us to maintain coverage and keep spans of control within the ideal three to seven direct reports. Internal Audit The Internal Audit department is a critical component of the Ceres management team. During the work on Hurricane Katrina recovery, especially during the private property debris removal activities, Ceres’ management noticed that the quantity of quality control personnel was very high compared with the quantity of traditional production personnel. To ensure that projects are proceeding as they should, and that personnel in all aspects of the project are performing as they should, Ceres has instituted the posi tion of Internal Audit Manager, who supervises Audit Managers. These individuals review activities in the field as well as files in the office to be sure that all Ceres employees are doing their work as specified in the contract. The rigors of a Six Sigma program are not planned, but Ceres senior management believes that this addition to our organization will help us strengthen our performance. Company and Project Leadership Ceres will assign personnel resources to an event based on the size and scope of the disaster. The personnel resumes included in a separate section of this proposal represent the full spectrum of personnel immediately available to Ceres. They are assigned at a seniority level and in numbers commensurate with the event. This is in accordance with the principles of the FEMA Incident Command System. Significant Changes in Organizational Structure Over the last 5 years there have been no significant changes in organizational structure, ownership, or management of the Ceres Environmental Services, Inc. Advantages of Ceres Feature Benefit to City of Winter Springs Solid Experience and Consistent Performance Low Risk of Poor Performance Exemplary performance on over 400 FEMA-funded Emergency Debris Management contracts with an awarded value of over $2.5 billion dollars for various government agencies. Rapid Disaster Response and Mobilization Improved Safety and Rapid Completion In October 2018, Hurricane Michael ripped through Georgia leaving damage and destruction in its path, with the hardest hit areas in Southwest Georgia. As a result, Ceres was activated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to remove debris in 13 Southwest Georgia counties. We mobilized staff and some equipment prior to the formal Notice to Proceed (NTP). Ceres collected a total of 4.2 million cubic yards of debris in the first 90 days. At the mission’s peak, Ceres was able to haul 140,000 CYs – 3.3% of the total project – in a single day. The consistency of this type of significant progress allowed us to finish on schedule with the USACE staff drawdown plan. Ceres received the highest possible quality rating for this work – Exceptional – based in part on our high production rates despite numerous scope changes and severe weather. Having the Quality Manager report directly to a company officer means that quality issues get visibility at the highest levels in the company. 464 City of Winter Springs ITB #04-25-01 PH Creek Debris Removal Services Tab D Qualifications Section 1 General Information Page D.1-3 Feature Benefit to City of Winter Springs Large Scale Experience and Multiple Event Response Successful Task Completion In 2024, Ceres responded to 88 jurisdictions across the U.S. Ceres was activated in 47 jurisdictions in Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina following Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Months earlier, we responded to 16 Texas jurisdictions following Hurricane Beryl, and 4 jurisdictions in Florida and Georgia in response to Hurricane Debby. In addition to hurricane responses, Ceres was activated in Louisiana, Tennessee, and Georgia following tornadoes and severe wind events. Ceres also worked in California completing the response to the Atmospheric River flooding, and in Florida completing private property debris removal from Hurricane Ian. In 2023, Ceres managed 24 activations spanning from the East Coast to the West Coast of the contiguous United States and in Puerto Rico. Ceres provided debris removal services in response to extensive flooding and mudslides in California following the Atmospheric River, wildfires in New Mexico, Winter Storm Mara in Texas, the Great Vermont Flood, and Hurricane Idalia in Georgia and Florida. Additionally, Ceres performed projects focused on waterway debris removal in Louisiana and Florida. In 2022, Ceres responded to 27 contract activations in Florida following the landfalls of Hurricanes Ian and Nicole. During this same period, Ceres continued work on a waterway debris removal project in Livingston Parish, LA and a debris removal project resulting from wildfires in New Mexico. In 2021, Ceres successfully completed over 30 projects resulting from numerous disasters affecting the United States. This includes Hurricane Ida in Louisiana, Winter Storm Uri, and Tropical Storm Nicholas in Texas, a derecho in Iowa, Red Tide in Florida, and the wildfires in Oregon and Colorado. In September of 2017, Ceres responded to 7 jurisdictions in Texas after Hurricane Harvey, and 35 jurisdictions in Florida and 2 jurisdictions in Georgia after Hurricane Irma. Additionally, Ceres worked under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, where both Hurricanes Irma and Maria caused severe damage and devastation. Ceres received an Exceptional overall rating – the highest possible rating for the work performed in the Virgin Islands by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In August of the same year, Ceres had already begun recovery work in seven jurisdictions in Texas following Hurricane Harvey. Long, Varied History of Disaster Recovery Experience Maximum FEMA Reimbursement Ceres’ careful attention to documentation and strict quality control procedures will aid in the acceptance of a claim for reimbursement. Throughout Ceres’ history, no client has been denied reimbursement for work Ceres has performed. Large Number of Accredited Subcontractors Faster Job Completion Ceres’ subcontractor database comprises 3,346 qualified individuals and companies certified to work in the U.S. These companies have more than 50,000 pieces of debris removal equipment immediately available for disaster recovery work. Large Disaster Response Equipment Inventory Faster Job Completion and Added Flexibility The Ceres family of company owns one of the largest inventories of disaster recovery equipment in the U.S. Ceres Environmental Inc.’s current inventory includes 2,019 pieces of equipment. Our mission is to serve units of Government with time-critical disaster recovery and heavy construction services. We have an enviable reputation for speedy deployment, excellent work, and experienced site management. After 48 years of doing demanding work in almost every U.S. state and territory, Ceres is still known for keeping its promises: Ceres has never defaulted on a contract, failed to complete a contract, nor had any client denied reimbursement . An evaluation from the Department of the Navy is typic al: “perhaps the finest contractor I have worked with….” Ceres always adheres to the highest standards of quality, integrity, and safety. 465 City of Winter Springs ITB #04-25-01 PH Creek Debris Removal Services Tab D Qualifications Section 1 General Information Page D.1-4 The core competencies Ceres commits to every project are: ▪ Rapid Deployment ▪ Experienced Project Management ▪ Financial Stability ▪ Equipment, and ▪ Trusted Subcontractors Rapid Deployment Over the years, we have developed and refined our ability for rapid response mobilizations . Following Hurricane Ian in 2022, Ceres mobilized 13 knuckleboom crews and 3 bucket truck crews within 24 hours of Notice to Proceed to Hardee County, FL. This was one of the very first debris removal projects in the state to start after the hurricane. Following Hurricane Matthew in 2016, Ceres mobilized staff and equipment to Beaufort County, SC within 24 hours of the Notice to Proceed. Originally, Ceres was under contract to provide 10 emergency debris clearance crews, but when the County’s needs changed, we were able to quickly increase the number of crews to 24. That was the largest number of push crews we had provided in 10 years. We set a record again in 2018, when Ceres provided push crews to Jackson County, FL following Hurricane Michael. Ceres received a Notice to Proceed and mobilized over 150 emergency debris clearance crews within 72 hours. Given the severity of the storm, Ceres continued emergency debris clearance for over 100 hours after initial impact maintaining detailed time and materials logs to ensure reimbursement of all eligible costs for Jackson County. Ceres uses local “teaming partners” as well as strategically placed owned equipment staging and multiple office locations across the country. Ceres can provide significant equipment and staffing within 24 hours of storm subsidence. Experienced Project Management For the past 5 years, the company has more than 200 full-time professional and managerial staff with disaster experience, many of whom hold degrees in areas such as: Business Administration, Structural and Civil Engineering, Forestry, Geology, Science and Accounting. As part of the Company’s dedication to quality and safety, many of Ceres’ management staff are U.S. Army Corps of Engineers -certified in Construction Quality Management; HAZWOPER certified; NIMS certified through FEMA’s Emergency Management Institute; certified in first aid by the Red Cross; and completed OSHA’s 40-hour safety training course. Ceres’ management is also experienced in a wide variety of geographic conditions. Their work histories include all U.S. states, Puerto Rico, Thule, Greenland, Ascension Island, Haiti, and New Zealand. Ceres maintains a network of highly qualified professionals who work as needed during the high demand periods. As the company swelled to meet the demand of multiple projects simultaneously, Ceres averaged over 600 employees during busy seasons for the past 5 years. This included project management personnel, quality control staff, equipment operators, mechanics project accounting employees, logistical support group, and most importantly, a dedicated safety team. Ceres’ management has demonstrated its ability to respond to large -scale events. In 2024 Following Hurricanes Helene and Milton, Ceres was activated in 47 jurisdictions across Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina. We responded to all jurisdictions and have removed over 11.3 million cubic yards to date. We expect the 4 remaining projects to be completed within the next 30 days. Following Hurricanes Ian and Nicole in 2022, Ceres received 27 contract activations across Florida. We successfully responded to all our clients. Two of these projects exceeded 2 million cubic yards of debris each. From October 2018 to March 2019, Ceres was activated in 13 Southwest Georgia Counties for the U.S Army Corps of Engineers following Hurricane Michael. Ceres collected and hauled a total of 4,236,363 cubic yards of debris, with a maximum haul of 140,330 cubic yards in a single day. This was accomplished by utilizing 1,628 hauling vehicles and managing 144 subcontractors. Ceres received an Exceptional – the highest possible rating – for quality of service in the face of enormous challenges caused by an increase in the magnitude of project scope and extreme weather conditions. 466 City of Winter Springs ITB #04-25-01 PH Creek Debris Removal Services Tab D Qualifications Section 1 General Information Page D.1-5 Between December 2017 and June 2018, Ceres actively worked in Lake, Mendocino, and Napa (LMN) Counties as part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Disaster Recovery effort after the President declared a federal State of Emergency as a result of the Northern California Wildfires. During Hurricane Irma and Maria response, Ceres was closing out 8 projects in Texas, 37 projects in FL, and other projects in Louisiana, Georgia, Puerto Rico and the USVI. Throughout the performance period, Ceres did not have a single loss time accident while the other two (2) prime contractors were plagued by safety issues. This was achieved through effective project management by over 50 project managers of more than 2,500 trucks and hundreds of subcontractors. In all of 2017, Ceres received more than 50 major contract activations from cities, counties, and the U.S. Army, including an ACI activation in the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) for debris removal and off-island debris disposal. For that work, Ceres received the highest possible evaluation – Exceptional overall rating for its pre- and post-Hurricanes Irma and Maria responses. Shortly after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) awarded Ceres a $1 billion contract for disaster response, including loading, hauling, reducing, and disposing of debris and white goods; trimming and removal of hazardous trees; demolition of storm damaged buildings; collection of household garbage; environmental sampling and monitoring of disposal sites; and life support services. This contract covered 11 Louisiana Parishes and required the operation of 54 reduction/disposal sites. Ceres achieved a record-setting mobilization, hauling more than 45,000 cubic yards of debris in its first day on the job (from Jefferson Parish, LA). Ceres rapidly achieved large-scale capacity, reaching a maximum production of 194,584 cubic yards per day and eventually hauling, reducing, and disposing over 13.4 million cubic yards of debris, over 315,000 units of white goods, while trimming or removing over 165,000 hazardous trees. Ceres has the resources and experience to handle multiple events and locations . In 2023, Ceres successfully completed multiple projects in 8 different states plus Puerto Rico. This includes responses to Hurricane Idalia in Florida and Georgia, Winter Storm Mara in Texas, Mississippi Tornadoes, the Great Flood in Vermont, a severe Summer Storm in Atlanta, GA, a June Windstorm in Shreveport, LA, Red Tide cleanup in Sarasota, FL., and the Atmospheric River floods in California. Additionally, Ceres performed private property debris removal in Cape Coral, FL, utility line clearing in Puerto Rico and waterway debris removal in two (2) Parishes in Louisiana, including St. Tammany Parish. In 2021, Ceres successfully completed numerous projects across 9 different states. This includes responses to Hurricane Ida in Louisiana, Winter Storm Uri in Texas and Oklahoma, Tropical Storm Nicholas in Texas, a derecho in Iowa, Red Tide in Florida, and the wildfires in Oregon and Colorado. Additionally, Ceres performed private property debris removal in Puerto Rico, waterway debris removal in Louisiana and assisted its Georgia clients with solid waste removal due to the Covid -19 related shortage of staff. In 2018-2019, Ceres was activated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 13 counties located in southwest Georgia following Hurricane Michael, while also performing work for individual jurisdictions in Florida. In addition to this work, Ceres was still actively providing disaster recovery services throughout North and South Carolina as a result of Hurricane Florence. In 2016, Ceres was already working in Louisiana following heavy rains and flooding when Hurricanes Hermine and Matthew hit the U.S. coast within a month of each other. Ceres responded to several counties in Florida and Georgia after Hurricane Hermine and then to an additional 14 jurisdictions in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina after Hurricane Matthew. Our successful experience in multiple response situations as well as our substantial resources and teaming relationships, assures that Ceres’ performance on this project will be to the Client’s utmost satisfaction. Ceres’ management has demonstrated its commitment to safe operations. In 2021, following Hurricane Ida, Ceres performed debris management and removal for much of Louisiana, including three zones in the City of New Orleans and the North and South Shore areas of Lake Pontchartrain. During this Ceres collected over 2.4 million cubic yards of Hurricane Ian debris in the City of North Port, FL alone 467 City of Winter Springs ITB #04-25-01 PH Creek Debris Removal Services Tab D Qualifications Section 1 General Information Page D.1-6 response, we had a total of 13 projects with self-performing crews and 75 subcontractors. Ceres worked 71,958 employee hours and incurred 1,706,789 truck miles while hauling 2,630,744 cubic yards of debris. These projects saw zero recordable or lost time incidents. Ceres worked approximately 650,000 manhours without a single lost time injury in Southwest Georgia in 2018-2019. Our use of equipment safety inspection stickers that were a part of the placarding process ensured that equipment was in good working order, and in total 1,628 vehicles were placarded. Ceres supervised an estimated 1,600 people on this job at its peak. Given the number of people and duration of the project, this is a strong demonstration of Ceres commitment to safety . Safety is a key component of our company. We bring this emphasis to our debris management work as shown by four important awards. We were a 2015, 2011 and 2009 Recipient of the National Safety Council (NSC) Occupational Excellence Achievement Award. This award recognizes outstanding safety achievements among its members and is designed to help promote the prevention of workplace injuries and illnesses. In 2010, we received a Perfect Record Award for operating an entire year without occupational injury or illness and a Million Mile Club award for driving without a Preventable Incident. In 2007, Ceres received the Million Work Hours award from the NSC. The award is for 1,000,000 work hours without occupational injury or illness involving days away from work during our Hurricane Katrina debris work. Ceres’ management has demonstrated its commitment to superior performance and customer satisfaction. In 2017-2019, Ceres worked in the U.S. Virgin Islands under the USACE contract. For that work, Ceres received Exceptional ratings for nearly all the categories rated, meeting and exceeding contract requirements and achieving the highest ratings available for quality, customer satisfaction, management/personnel/labor, cost/financial management, and safety/security. Following the devastation of two (2) separate landfalls by Hurricane Irma in Florida on September 10, 2017, all 67 counties and 412 incorporated municipalities in the State of Florida were declared Category A and Category B under the FEMA Public Assistance Program. During this time, Ceres was active in over 50 separate locations throughout the Southern United States. For Seminole County, FL, although Ceres was the secondary contractor, Ceres staff was engaged with the County staff prior to the storm and was activated in place of the primary contractor when they failed to participate in project kickoff procedures. Upon completion, Ceres had managed 786,619 cubic yards of debris, removing on average more than 9,000 cubic yards a day. We cut a total of 25,021 limbs, with a peak day count of 1,353 limbs on September 27. When Winter Storm Pax struck the southeast in 2014, Ceres’ pre-event debris management contract with Columbia County, GA was activated. Ceres responded immediately, mobilizing a work force capable of removing the more than 600,000 cubic yards of debris left behind by the late winter ice storm. During the project, Ceres not only provided the debris management necessary, but also assisted with FEMA documentation and provided zone maps of the County to keep the public informed. Columbia County, at the end of the project, said of Ceres, “From the first day to the last day of our project, they performed their work in an admirable and cooperative manner.” During 2005, Ceres’ pre disaster event contracts with Terrebonne Parish, LA and Palm Beach Gardens, FL were activated in response to Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma. Ceres had management staff on the ground before either hurricane made landfall. Katrina and Rita work in other places already had Ceres fully mobilized and in the midst of moving millions of cubic yards of debris and installing thousands of temporary roofs in Mississippi and Florida. Nevertheless, the City of Palm Beach Gardens received such a hig h level of service that they evaluated Ceres’ performance as “Exceptional.” Ceres’ management has demonstrated a high level of capability and adaptability. In 2021, following Hurricane Ida in Louisiana, contractors faced shortages of fuel for vehicles and recovery equipment, 468 City of Winter Springs ITB #04-25-01 PH Creek Debris Removal Services Tab D Qualifications Section 1 General Information Page D.1-7 electrical power outages, and unavailability of rental vehicles and lodging. Ceres promptly adapted to the scarcity of these resources by transporting bulk fuel from outside the affected area and staging onsite for use by company-owned and subcontractor-owned equipment; transporting and utilizing camper trailers for lodging project management and equipment operators; positioning company -owned generators to the Parish; and securing rental vehicles outside the affected area. In 2018, when subcontractors became increasingly scarce for Hurricane Florence recovery in North Carolina after Hurricane Michael struck the Southeast U.S. in October of that same year. Ceres used its own equipment and personnel to fulfill all our client commitments without an interruption in service, unlike many other prime contractors, despite extreme weather conditions that caused significant delays. Ceres was active in Livingston Parish, LA in early 2017 following damages sustained by summer flooding in 2016. Ceres removed and disposed of approximately 1.35 million cubic yards of debris, including 400,000 pounds of putrid food and 20,000 units of white goods. In the middle of clean up, Hurricanes Hermine and Matthew hit the U.S. coast within a month of each other. Ceres extended its services to respond to the needs of more than 20 other jurisdictions while fulfilling all contractual obligations in the Parish. In the words of the Director of Parish Homeland Security, “[Ceres} showed extreme reliability and dedication in the midst of chaos… Organized and diligent, their team quickly adapted to meet our needs.” Ceres’ personnel are trained in FEMA regulations and are schooled in the use of FEMA Public Assistance Debris Management Guide FEMA 325, as well as additional resource books Public Assistance Guide FEMA 322 and Public Assistance Policy Digest 321. Ceres personnel are also familiar with the Public Assistance Program and Policy Guide, as well as 2 CFR Part 200 Procurement Standards. Financial Stability Ceres’ excellent financial stability means that it can provide performance and payments bonds from treasury-listed carriers in amounts in excess of $2 BIL per single project. With liquid working capital and additional credit lines in excess of $200M available, a lack of financial resources is never an obstacle for Ceres. The company is able to perform work with its own funds and the timing of payments from customers is a non-issue for the corporation. As an example, in 2017, Ceres was activated simultaneously in 35 jurisdictions throughout the state of Florida, while still completing work in Texa s, starting, and sustaining projects in both U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Despite the heavy workload and wide variety in project schedules and invoice payments, Ceres was able to maintain a steady pace in all the recovery projects by ensuring that personnel were provided for, equipment was maintained, and subcontractors received prompt payments. At one point, Accounts Receivable exceeded $105M, and Ceres never had a work stoppage on any project. Equipment Ceres and its family of companies own 2,019 pieces of disaster response equipment. Ceres invests heavily in owned equipment because it assures rapid response times and provides additional flexibility as well as direct management control. Because of its extensive fleet, Ceres can send equipment and personnel to respond to a disaster regardless of the availability of subcontractors. Following the 2017 storm season, Ceres purchased additional equipment, including self-loading knuckle boom trucks, additional grinders, excavators, and other support equipment. This allowed Ceres to continue to operate projects in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico and respond to Hurricane Florence and Hurricane Michael in 2018. Much like recovery projects in 2016 and 2017, a large C&D event and a vegetative event occurred in 2018 in North and South Carolina. Subcontracted trucks left many projects in North Carolina, and other primes 469 City of Winter Springs ITB #04-25-01 PH Creek Debris Removal Services Tab D Qualifications Section 1 General Information Page D.1-8 struggled to close out. Ceres applied the strategy used in 2017 and buoyed by the purchase of additional equipment, Ceres self-performed the closeout of many North Carolina and South Carolina projects. Ceres has taken numerous steps to mitigate any recurrence of the equipment shortages that have plagued the disaster industry in recent years. We are confident in our ability to rapidly mobilize the magnitude of equipment and personnel necessary to manage the largest projects and we have demonstrated our ability to manage more than 50 government projects totaling approximately $250M concurrently, providing a dedicated Project Manager for each individual project. Ceres has access to all the life support equipment needed for supporting its own personnel including mobile living quarters, food supply, large potable water supply tanks, and large septic storage systems. These systems have saved valuable management time in responses to such higher category storms as Katrina. Ceres also has available life support systems for project-wide support and Government personnel. In Ceres’ Jefferson Parish, LA response following Katrina, for example, Ceres provided total life suppo rt for more than 400 people, and subcontractor fueling services for enough equipment to move 70,000 CY of debris per day. Ceres owns four self-contained office trailers including satellite internet connections and satellite phones as well as additional loaner satellite cell phones for the customers’ management teams. Ceres regularly supplies rental satellite phone service to its clients. Specialized Equipment In addition to traditional waterway debris removal equipment, Ceres owns advanced material handlers, Sennebogens, which can be particularly effective for waterway debris removal projects. Sennebogen tree & material handlers are low pressure ground pieces of equipment with grapple saws that allow to remove debris safely and efficiently. These versatile machines are essential for lifting, cutting, and sorting large storm-damaged materials, such as fallen trees and tangled vegetation, that may obstruct natural water flow. With 68 feet of down slope reach, the grapple saw allows the operator to safely and precisely cut through large logs and branches in difficult-to-access areas, such as steep embankments and flood zones. The combination of lifting power and cutting precision ensures efficient debris removal. Trusted Subcontractors Ceres maintains one of the industry’s largest networks of pre -screened and fully qualified subcontractors, including local vendors and preferred vendors. Our subcontractors are evaluated on many levels, including past performance, equipment and personnel availability, mobilization timeframes, insurance, and cost. Ceres knows that a big part of local recovery is economic, so Ceres always strives to employ qualified local labor. The subcontractors are also grouped in Response Regions based on distance from City of Winter Springs’s service area to facilitate contacts if pre-event mobilization plans are activated. It is Ceres’ formal policy to utilize local subcontract services in the performance of the proposed contract to the maximum extent possible. In the emergency disaster response and recovery activities carried out under the contract, preference will be given, to the extent feasible and practicable, to those organizations, firms, and individuals residing or doing business primarily in the area affected by such major disaster or emergency. Ceres recognizes the advantages obtainable by utilizing other responsibl e and experienced firms capable of furnishing specialty services and products of high quality, but first priority will be given to those subcontractors who are from the area or regularly do business there. During Ceres’ Army Corps contracted disaster relief response in the state of Louisiana following Hurricane Katrina, local contractors received 55.9% of the total dollars paid to Ceres. In accordance with Ceres Corporate policies, it is our practice to use Local and other Small Businesses (SB) and also HUBZone, Veteran-Owned (VO), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned (SDVO), Small Disadvantaged (SDB), Women-Owned (WOSB), Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), and Minority Institutions (MI) for the provision of equipment, labor, services, and supplies to the maximum extent possible. In our most recent reporting on our federal contracts, we exceeded our goals in each of the applicable categories. This report shows that Ceres paid Small Business Concerns 75.6% of the total dollars, with 12.0% going to SDBs, 13% to WOSBs, 3.3% to HUBZone SBs, 11% to VOs, and 9.5% to SDVOs. While Ceres’ database of screened and qualified subcontractors consists of 3,346 firms from across the country, Ceres intends to draw from a more select list of regionally based subcontractors to provide the 470 City of Winter Springs ITB #04-25-01 PH Creek Debris Removal Services Tab D Qualifications Section 1 General Information Page D.1-9 highest level of performance, including rapid mobilization. Other firms that have shown exemplary performance standards in previous disaster recovery efforts are included in this list. In Ceres’ subcontractor registration process, all potential firms are required to demonstrate their knowledge of the disaster recovery process, including safety, knowledge of FEMA related topics, eligible debris, etc. After scrutiny, the firms that meet Ceres’ rigorous standards are added to the list of preferred subcontractors. Additionally, after each disaster recovery project, Ceres managers go through a complete performance evaluation of each subcontractor that worked on the project. All subcontractors have been screened through the Excluded Parties List System and only those shown to have no history on the list will be chosen for this project. FEMA Knowledge Ceres has more than 30 years of successful FEMA-reimbursed disaster work. Ceres’ management staff has a long tenure with strong expertise in FEMA requirements for documentation, eligibility, general rules compliance, and methodologies. Ceres augments staff FEMA experience with certified FEMA training classes for its general management. Project Managers and Project Superintendents are required to take ICS courses through the FEMA’s online Emergency Management Institute (EMI) to better understand NIMS structure and review debris eligibility. Ceres has also retained the former State Response and Recovery Directors, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Subject Matter Experts, and the former U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Disaster Program Manager (also, co-author of the now superseded FEMA 325 Debris Management Guide). Our personnel are deeply experienced in FEMA’s Public Assistance Program, and we continually train managers down to field staff in FEMA eligibility requirements. Ceres has assisted numerous clients during the post-disaster reimbursement application process, and our clients have never been denied reimbursement for our work. For example, two years after one project was completed, FEMA conducted an audit of one city during which the city was unable to provide complete truck certification logs. FEMA indicated that due to the missing truck documentation, they intended to deobligate over $1,000,000 from the city. When the city notified Ceres about this matter, Ceres was able to provide the missing information from its well-organized records; the city subsequently received all its eligible reimbursement without any deobligation. Community Relations One of Ceres’ most important support functions in the event of a natural disaster is to help Winter Springs officials engage in community relations. Ceres provides important resources for keeping residents informed on the progress of cleanup. Toll Free Hotline and E-Mail Management Large phone and e-mail traffic from concerned residents are a part of every natural disaster. Ceres maintains a toll-free Storm Hotline that is staffed and accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to handle questions, concerns or complaints related to clean-up: 1-877-STORM12. The number is prominently displayed on all Ceres equipment working the clean-up area. Ceres monitors call and e-mail volume and establishes additional toll-free numbers and enlists additional staff whenever greater capacity is required to ensure maximum community responsiveness. Call center staff keep a log of incoming calls and e-mails, recording the address of the reported incident, resident’s name, reported complaint, date and time of reported incident, and the truck number (if applicable). This group compiles incoming resident communications and organizes them into date/time of receipt and response priorities. Ceres sorts through messages to identify time-sensitive incidents such as broken water lines that need immediate attention. Each incident is investigated, and ultimately, we locate the responsible crew if fault is found. Reports from this database will be accessible daily or weekly and can be disbursed to Winter Springs officials accordingly. Public Information Campaigns Having been in business for 48 years and completed more than over 400 disaster contracts, Ceres has participated in and developed a number of public information campaigns. Within the Ceres repository, we maintain debris separation diagrams and videos translated into multiple languages, radio advisories, door 471 City of Winter Springs ITB #04-25-01 PH Creek Debris Removal Services Tab D Qualifications Section 1 General Information Page D.1-10 hangers, mailbox flyers and various other forms of media. The idea is the City and Ceres must retrain residents to put out disaster debris, given that the residents are accustomed to placing trash out on a certain day of the week. The more we can educate the residents across multiple media types and reinforce the messaging, the faster Ceres can remove debris from the public ROW. Client Satisfaction-Oriented Ceres is in business to serve governmental agencies. We recognize that providing customer satisfaction is critical to our success. Our satisfied customers and the commendation letters and evaluations quoted below speak for themselves.

This along with being a Florida-based corporation has helped Ceres build trusted relationships with Florida Division of Emergency Management, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and Florida Department of Transportation to provide disaster guidance and quickly permit debris sites. Regulatory Framework for Funding Waterway Debris Operations The funding for impacted waterways following a disaster event is generally managed through a mix of federal agencies, including FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) and NRCS (Natural Resources Conservation Service), but they serve different roles and work under different funding mechanisms. FEMA insists on being the “Funding of Last Resort” which means NRCS must be petitioned to review and approve or deny any requests regarding waterway and drainageway work post-event. Funding for this project will be provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS); pursuant to Agreement No. NR254209XXXXC003; CFDA No. 10.923.

While Cape Coral's debris removal activities were being well maintained by CERES, City of Cape Coral Public Works staff were able to focus on different infrastructure recovery efforts. At the 60-day mark of the declared disaster, Ceres had removed over 1,800,000 cubic yards of vegetation and C&D from city streets. At project completion, CERES collected, chipped, and disposed of 1,510,773 cubic yards of vegetative debris; and collected, staged and disposed of 454,308 cubic yards C&D both, in only 4 months. This included two weeklong holiday breaks. In addition to the right-of-way removal, a unique facet to the recovery was Ceres also planned and successfully conducted both land-based and water-based debris removal of vegetation knocked down by Ian, and non-vegetative debris blown into the canals or damaged by the storm surge. r The scope of this project included0 :bo11ecting, chipping, and disposing of 750,000 cubic I yards of vegetative debris and 800 cubic yards of C&DI from over 400 miles of both saltwater and freshwater cqnals, yybile SUP,f?Or;tirig the City's efforts in protectingwaterfowl, wading birds, migrant11s6ngoiras, g6phen tortoi�es, and dolphins and reptiles. Cape Coral is home to the largest population o� burrowin� owls in Florida, and the canal system is so extensive that local ecology and tides have been affected. The system provides many residents with waterfront living access to the Gulf of Mexico via the broad Caloosahatchee River and Matlacha Pass. The City of Cape Coral is honored to have completed a successful FEMA funded project with CERES, and I would whole-heartedly recommend the CERES team for emergency debris removal activities. 2elyja. � Schweitzer Solid Waste Manager City of Cape Coral TS:jr 503 504 Livingston Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness 20355 Government Boulevard, Suite D Livingston, LA 70754 Livingston Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness I am writing this letter to show my appreciation for the work Ceres has completed for Livingston Parish over the course of the last six years.

Between May 2018 and September 2023, Ceres covered over 600 miles of waterways, clearing 3,554,683 linear feet of various canals and rivers. Ceres used specialized waterway debris removal equipment in a safe and efficient manner, ensuring minimal environmental impact throughout their operations. Ceres complied with all federal, state and local regulations and environmental protection laws. They provided accurate and compliant documentation critical to NRCS reimbursement. Their professionalism, expertise, and reliability make them an invaluable partner. Based on their exceptional performance, I highly recommend Ceres for any waterway debris removal project. Thank you, Shannon Dyer, Deputy Director Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness 20355 Government Blvd. Livingston, LA 70754 21 March 2024 505 City of Pearland 3501 E. Orange St Pearland, Texas 77581 Tel: 281.652.1900 pearlandtx.gov March 17, 2021 Tia Laurie Director of Administration Ceres Environmental Services, Inc. 6968 Professional Parkway East Sarasota, FL 34240 RE: Recommendation Dear Ms. Laurie In response to Winter Storm Uri, the City of Pearland formally activated Ceres Environmental Services, Inc. for Debris Management Services. Chad Dorsey and Mike Beevers were as signed to coordinate the debris rem oval for our City. They both were very profes sional, friendly, and informative while on the ground. They worked with our City staff to ensure seamless removal of residential debris timely. Our City staff appreciate the guidance they were able to provide and would recommend them for future projects. Thank you for your service to the City and its residents. Sinc erely, Laurie Rodriguez Ceres Environmental Services, Inc.506 City of North Port DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS Office: 941.240.8050 Fax: 941.240.8063 MEMORANDUM TO: Mike Beavers Karl Dix FROM: Frank Lama, Solid Waste Manager SUBJECT: Hurricane IAN Cleanup Recommendation Letter DATE: April 21, 2023 Dear Mr. Beevers, It is my pleasure to recommend Ceres Environmental Services, Inc. for their exceptional work in the City of North Port in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian. North Port was among the hardest‐hit areas of Florida experiencing significant flooding and strong sustained winds for hours. The hurricane produced millions of cubic yards of vegetative and C&D debris. Your team at Ceres made the completion of this complex, large‐scale debris removal project seem easy. Ultimately, your team collected, hauled, processed, and disposed of over 2.4 million cubic yards of debris, which enabled a faster than anticipated restoration of the North Port community. At the project’s peak, 47,000 cubic yards of debris was hauled in a single day. The City especially appreciated that Ceres owned all the reduction equipment mobilized to quickly reduce the incredible amounts of debris. This helped reduce the overall processing times and propel the project forward ahead of other jurisdictions in the area. Due to the quick response and the expedited project, the City was able to maximize FEMA reimbursement with the increased federal cost share granted by FEMA. Ceres was also able to help us return an essential aspect of our economy back to normal. As you know, each year between February and March, tens of thousands of avid baseball fans visit North Port during MLB spring training to enjoy the weather and watch the Atlanta Braves play. Spring Training is a key economic driver for the City. Each year , Spring Training pumps millions of dollars into our City. Ceres set an ambitious goal to complete the debris cleanup process before the start of spring training, and I'm proud to say that this goal was successfully achieved. I highl y rec ommend Ceres Environmental Services, Inc. for any f uture disaster debris management projects. They are a reliable and professional company that exceeded our expectations during our disaster response efforts. Please, feel free to show this letter to potential clients. I would be happy to answer any questions or supply additional information. 507 50 8 City of Winter Springs ITB #04-25-01 PH Creek Debris Removal Services Tab D Qualifications Section 6 Conclusion Page D.6-1 D.6 Conclusion Throughout our proposal, we have highlighted the experience and capabilities that make us an excellent choice to support City of Winter Springs in the event of a disaster. Ceres has 48 years of experience in disaster recovery and employs a professional and managerial staff with exceptional experience in the field. Ceres and its family of companies own 2,019 pieces of equipment. Additionally, we have a database of 3,346 subcontractors to support our disaster relief efforts. The company is financially secure, with a bonding capacity of more than $2 billion per project. We know that City of Winter Springs will receive proposals from several other qualified disaster relief firms. Why choose Ceres above the others? Beyond our experience and capabilities is our reputation: we always get the job done. Some of the highlights of our reputation include: ▪ Ceres Environmental Services, Inc. has extensive knowledge and experience with waterway debris removal Ceres has successfully completed large and complex NCRS and FEMA funded waterway debris removal projects. Ceres personnel have extensive knowledge of waterway debris removal requirements, including knowledge of specialty equipment, techniques, and documentation. In 2022, Ceres cleared over 400 miles of waterways for the City of Cape Coral, FL following Hurricane Ian. In total, over 750,000 CY of waterway debris were removed, processed, and disposed of for the City. In Livingston Parish, LA Ceres cleared over 3 million linear feet of waterways in an extensive debris removal project. ▪ Ceres has never defaulted on a contract or failed to complete any work awarded Throughout exemplary performance on over $2.5 billion dollars of Emergency Debris Management contracts awarded by various government agencies within the past 30 years on over 400 FEMA-funded contracts, Ceres has never defaulted or failed to complete a contract. Ceres has, on more than one occasion, stepped in when other prime contractors could not complete the work they were obligated to perform and has taken over as prime contractor. For example, when a devastating hurricane hit Isle of Wight County in Virginia, the prime contractor could not perform due to other contractual commitments. Ceres stepped in and performed as prime, earning a Letter of Recommendation and appreciation from the County Director of Public Works which reads, in part: "Through this very trying and difficult period Ceres has given us exemplary service. They have been responsive in the needs that are unique to our County, they have advised us of FEMA regulations, they have made suggestions to save the County money and most importantly they conducted their business in a professional manner. I have been most impressed by their thoroughness and flexibility. As one may well expect, during such a disaster as this hurricane, plans often go down the drain. They have in many instances put planned duties aside to respond to emergency requests without sacrificing the overall goal." ▪ No client of Ceres has been denied reimbursement for work Ceres has performed Ceres’ personnel are trained in FEMA regulations and are schooled in the use of FEMA Public Assistance Program and Policy Guide (latest version), pertinent FEMA Fact Sheets, and the Stafford Act. Ceres personnel are also familiar with FEMA 325 Debris Management Guide (co-authored by Allen Morse who works for Ceres) as well as FEMA’s Public Assistance Debris Monitoring Guide, FEMA 322 Public Assistance Guide, and FEMA 321 Public Assistance Policy Digest. Ceres always assists its clients eligible for FEMA reimbursement receive the maximum amount for which their jurisdiction was eligible. Ceres personnel have successfully assisted clients in Project Worksheet development, FDEM audits, and FEMA OIG audits. ▪ Ceres has worked all over the globe, yet it proudly calls Florida its home Ceres Environmental Services, Inc. is located 3.5 hours away from Winter Springs in Sarasota, which is home to our Disaster Recovery Division. The Division is responsible for administering all debris removal projects across the country and is the responding for the Winter Springs project. Ceres removed debris in multiple Florida cities and counties. 509 City of Winter Springs ITB #04-25-01 PH Creek Debris Removal Services Tab D Qualifications Section 6 Conclusion Page D.6-2 In 2024, Ceres removed debris in 36 Florida jurisdictions following Hurricanes Debby and Milton. In 2022, Ceres received 27 contract activations across the state following Hurricanes Ian and Nicole. In 2017, Ceres received 54 major contract activations, the majority of which were in Florida. ▪ Ceres is Operations, not Marketing, based Ceres employs a full staff of Project Managers, Project Superintendents, Quality and Safety Managers and other debris management experts to ensure that we are always ready and able to self -perform. Our Sarasota office location ensures that we will arrive swiftly before or during an event. ▪ Ceres' multiple locations ensure that, even if an event affects Ceres' Florida locations, other offices will swiftly take over to meet the needs of the City Ceres maintains offices in Sarasota, FL, Houma, LA, Houston, TX, Brooklyn Park, MN, and Cameron Park, CA. To mitigate the risks of an event impacting the primary responding office, Ceres maintains robust continuity of operations plans to quickly step in and assume responsibility for disaster response. This includes either opening a local office within City of Winter Springs or mobilizing one of Ceres Debris Unified Command trailers. In 2017, Ceres activated its continuity of operations plan as Hurricane Irma impacted Sarasota and damaged our primary office. Ceres Minnesota office assumed responsibility for disaster response to Ceres ’ clients in Florida as our Houston office continued response to Hurricane Harvey clients in Texas. Ceres also has servers storing company documents in multiple locations throughout the country. If one server is lost in an event the data will not be lost and will not prevent Ceres from performing any work for any of its clients. ▪ Ceres is completely self-sufficient Ceres has a number of containerized offices that can be used mobile command centers. These can be moved to the disaster zone via low bed trailers and semi tractors. These mobile offices can be onsite, equipped with satellite communications and internet, and fully operational within hours. Ceres can also provide a wide variety of emergency housing options, including fully containerized bunkhouses that can be trailered to a Winter Springs location. ▪ Ceres' Corporate Officers are in the field ensuring the job gets done Ceres is structured so that one or two of the corporate officers can be absent from headquarters for extended periods of time in order to manage projects from the field. There are always one or two remaining at the headquarters to ensure continuity of management. This proved very useful when Ceres was awarded a $1 billion contract by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to perform a disaster debris contract following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in which two of Ceres’ corporate officers were in the field in Louisiana for over six months. Ceres’ management is also experienced in a wide variety of geographic conditions. Their work histories include all of the U.S. Gulf states, Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, Thule, Greenland, Ascension Island, Haiti and New Zealand. ▪ Ceres’ excellent financial stability means that it can provide performance and payments bonds from treasury-listed carriers in amounts in excess of $2 billion per single project With liquid working capital and additional credit lines in excess of $200M available, a lack of financial resources is never an obstacle for Ceres. During Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria, and NorCal wildfires in 2017-18, Ceres carried $98 million in open invoices with no work stoppages or delay in subcontractor payments. Ceres was able to maintain a steady pace in all of the recovery projects by ensuring that personnel were provided for, equipment was maintained, and subcontractors received prompt payments. After 48 years of doing demanding work in almost every U.S. state and territory, Ceres is still known for keeping its promises: Ceres has never defaulted on a contract, failed to complete a contract, nor had any client denied reimbursement. An evaluation from the Department of the Navy is typical: “perhaps the finest contractor I have worked with….” Ceres always adheres to the highest standards of q uality, integrity and safety, and that's a promise we do not hesitate to make to City of Winter Springs. 510 City of Winter Springs ITB #04-25-01 PH Creek Debris Removal Services Tab E Other Information Section 1 Ability to Manage Multiple Contracts Page E.1-1 E OTHER INFORMATION E.1 Disaster Responses Ceres has the proven resources and experience to handle various debris removal and disaster recovery projects. Our successful experience in multiple response situations as well as our substantial resources and teaming relationships ensures that Ceres’ performance on this contract will be to the City’s utmost satisfaction. 2024 U.S Event Responses and Projects In September and October of 2024 Ceres was activated by 47 jurisdictions across Florida and Georgia following the landfalls of Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Just months before, in July, Hurricane Beryl struck Texas, and Ceres was responded to 16 Texas jurisdictions. 511 City of Winter Springs ITB #04-25-01 PH Creek Debris Removal Services Tab E Other Information Section 1 Ability to Manage Multiple Contracts Page E.1-2 During 2024 Ceres also responded to multiple tornadoes and severe wind events in Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee and Georgia while maintaining our ongoing project from the Atmospheric Flooding in Merced County, California. 2023 U.S. Event Responses and Projects In 2023, Ceres responded to events across the U.S. In the spring, Ceres was activated to Merced and Tulare Counties in California following the destructive Atmospheric River that caused extensive flooding, mudslides, and general debris displacement. At the same time, strong winter storms impacted parts of Texas. Ceres mobilized to the City of Austin and Williamson County to remove d ebris caused by high winds and harsh winter elements. In the summer, the State of Vermont activated Ceres following the Great Vermont Flood, one of the worst natural disaster events to impact Vermont this century. Major cities and towns were completely inundated, where hundreds of structures were damaged or destroyed. As Ceres forces were at work in Vermont, Hurricane Idalia made landfall just south of Perry, FL as a Category 3 storm. Many communities throughout Northern Florida and Georgia were impacted by heavy winds and rain. Ceres worked alongside the City of Perry, FL, Taylor County, FL, Glynn County, GA, Columbia County, GA, and FDOT to remove the debris that caused disruption for thousands of citizens. Throughout the year, Ceres performed routine work and continued to execute ongoing projects. Please see the map on the previous page. 512 City of Winter Springs ITB #04-25-01 PH Creek Debris Removal Services Tab E Other Information Section 1 Ability to Manage Multiple Contracts Page E.1-3 2022 U.S. Event Responses and Projects In September 2022, Hurricane Ian impacted Florida as a Category 4 Storm. As a result, Ceres received 25 contract activations across the state. Two of these contracts got activated again when Hurricane Nicole affected Florida a month and a half later. That same year, Ceres also responded to the South Carolina DOT following a winter storm, removed fire debris in New Mexico, and worked in Louisiana, Iowa, and South Dakota to clear debris from waterways. Additionally, Ceres helped the City of Atlanta, GA with routine debris removal when the City experienced shortage of staff due to COVID-19. 513 City of Winter Springs ITB #04-25-01 PH Creek Debris Removal Services Tab E Other Information Section 1 Ability to Manage Multiple Contracts Page E.1-4 2021 U.S. Event Responses and Projects In 2021, Ceres responded to Hurricane Ida in Louisiana, Hurricane Nicholas and Winter Storm Uri in Texas, a Derecho in Iowa, a mudslide, and a fire in Colorado, all while finishing up projects due to the 2020 Labor Day fire in Oregon and Hurricanes Laura and Delta in Louisiana. Additionally, Ceres cleaned up extensive amounts of waterway debris in Livingston Parish, Louisiana as part of th e NCRS Emergency Watershed Protection Program. Ceres successfully managed over 30 projects in total. 514 City of Winter Springs ITB #04-25-01 PH Creek Debris Removal Services Tab E Other Information Section 1 Ability to Manage Multiple Contracts Page E.1-5 2019 – 2020 U.S. Event Responses and Projects In 2020, Ceres responded to 21 jurisdictions following disasters ranging from tornadoes to hurricanes to ice storms. Additionally, Ceres worked in Butte County, California as a part of the CalRecycle Disaster Recovery effort. The project started in May of 2019 and finished in February of 2020. 515 City of Winter Springs ITB #04-25-01 PH Creek Debris Removal Services Tab E Other Information Section 1 Ability to Manage Multiple Contracts Page E.1-6 2018 U.S. Event Responses and Projects From January to June 2018, Ceres actively worked in Lake, Mendocino, and Napa (LMN) Counties as part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Disaster Recovery effort after the President declared a federal State of Emergency as a result of the Northern California Wildfires. From May to November 2018, Ceres worked in Livingston Parish, LA to remove vegetative debris from waterways. The project was aimed at reducing flooding and improving navigation along the Tickfaw River, Natalbany River and West Colyell Creek. In September of 2018, Ceres responded to 12 different jurisdictions in North and South Carolina after they were struck by Hurricane Florence. A few weeks later, Hurricane Michael struck the Florida panhandle, making it the first Category 4 hurricane ever to make landfall in that area. As it moved inland, it decreased in intensity to become a Category 3 storm – the first to ever strike the State of Georgia. Following that storm, Ceres was activated by the USACE under the ACI SAD Restricted contract in 13 Georgia counties, while we were also actively working in additional jurisdictions in both Florida and Georgia. Additionally, Ceres operated two year-round green waste reduction yards in Texas and Minnesota, producing mulch and compost for sale back to the general public. 516 City of Winter Springs ITB #04-25-01 PH Creek Debris Removal Services Tab E Other Information Section 1 Ability to Manage Multiple Contracts Page E.1-7 2017 U.S. Event Responses and Projects In August 2017, Ceres responded to seven jurisdictions in Texas following Hurricane Harvey. Within the next several weeks, Ceres responded to 35 jurisdictions in Florida and performed two emergency contracts in Georgia after Hurricane Irma. Additionally, Ceres worked under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, where both Hurricanes Irma and Maria caused severe damage and devastation. 517 City of Winter Springs ITB #04-25-01 PH Creek Debris Removal Services Tab E Other Information Section 2 Financial Statement Page E.2-1 E.2 Financial Statement Ceres Environmental Services, Inc. can provide performance and payment bonds from an ‘A’-rated, treasury-listed carrier in amounts in excess of $2 Billion per project. With liquid working capital and additional credit lines in excess of $200 million available, a lack of financial resources is never an obstacle for Ceres. Ceres has an established, solid 25-year banking relationship with 1st Source Bank as well as other financial institutions. Financial concerns such as short-term cash flow are not obstacles for Ceres. The company is able to perform work with its own funds and the timing of payments from customers is a non -issue for the corporation. During Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, Maria and NorCal wildfires in 2017-18, Ceres carried $98 million in open invoices with no work stoppages or delay in subcontractor payments. On the Hurricane Katrina Project, Ceres had up to $140 million in open invoices to the USACE, without an interruption in work performance or delays in payments to the subcontractors .

Ceres has 48 years of experience in disaster recovery and employs a professional and managerial staff with exceptional experience in the field. We own 2,019 pieces of equipment and have a database of 3,346 trusted subcontractors to support our disaster relief efforts. The company is financially secure, with a bonding capacity of more than $2 billion per project. Ceres has permanent office locations in Florida, Texas, Louisiana, California and Minnesota. Ceres Environmental Services, Inc. and its family of companies own 2,019 pieces of disaster response equipment valued at over $108 million. Substantially more additional equipment available through our subcontractors. In our 2005 response for the USACE on Hurricane Katrina, Ceres provided more than 7,847 certified placarded vehicles and supporting loading equipment for an 11-parish region in Louisiana. Ceres- owned equipment augments our subcontractors’ equipment and provides additional flexibility, direct management control, and higher levels of customer responsiveness and satisfactio n. Because of its extensive company-owned fleet, Ceres can send equipment and personnel to respond to a disaster regardless of the availability of subcontractors. Following the 2017 storm season, Ceres purchased significant amounts of equipment, including self - loading knuckle boom trucks, additional grinders, excavators, and other support equipment. This allowed Ceres to continue operations in the U.S. Virgin Island s and Puerto Rico in tandem with our response to Hurricane Florence and Hurricane Michael in 2018. Much like recovery projects in 2016 and 2017, a large C&D event and a vegetative event occurred in 2018 in North and South Carolina. Subcontracted trucks left many projects in North Carolina to work elsewhere, and other primes struggled to close out their projects. Ceres applied the strategy used in 2017 and, buoyed by the purchase of additional equipment, Ceres self-performed the closeout of many North Carolina and South Carolina projects. Ceres owns all of the equipment needed for supporting its own personnel in the field, including mobile living quarters, food supply, large potable water supply tanks and large septic storage systems. These systems save valuable management time in responding to higher category storms. Ceres also has these same systems to provide project-wide support including for Government personnel. Ceres owns self-contained office trailers including satellite internet connections and satellite phones. Through our established vendor supply chain, we can provide rental satellite phone service to our clients.

SMWBE Utilization Plan Introduction Our objective at Ceres Environmental Services, Inc. is to perform all work associated with this contract in an efficient and safe manner through the effective administration and management of our equipment, personnel, subcontractors, and suppliers. In accordance with Ceres’ policies and programs, the work plan for this contract will be developed and executed assisting, counseling, advising, and utilizing, to the maximum extent possible and to the extent consistent with City of Winter Springs’s interest, Local and other Small Businesses (SB) as well as Small Disadvantaged Businesses (SDB) such as HUBZone, Veteran- owned (VO), Service Disabled Veteran-Owned (SDVO), Woman-Owned (WOSB) for the provision of equipment, labor, services and supplies. It is important for Ceres to provide opportunities for local companies and their employees to work on any project that may result from this contract. Additionally, Ceres may directly employ individuals to work for Ceres on a project. Ceres has a very well developed subcontracting plan, and Ceres also has a stellar record of implementing our plan and making payments to local subcontractors on past projects performed when Ceres is the prime contractor. Subcontracting To Firms within the Area of the Project It is the intention, policy and practice of Ceres to utilize local subcontract services in the performance of the proposed contract to the maximum extent possible as consistent, within the requirements of the Stafford Act, Sec. 307, Use of Local Firms and Individuals (42 U.S.C. 5150), the prime contract and sound business practices and management policies. In General - In the expenditure of Federal funds for debris clearance, distribution of supplies, reconstruction, and oth er major disaster or emergency assistance activities which may be carried out by contract or agreement with private organizations, firms, or individuals, preference will be given, to the extent feasible and practicable, to those organizations, firms, and individuals residing or doing business primarily in the area affected by such major disaster or emergency. We recognize 541 City of Winter Springs ITB #04-25-01 PH Creek Debris Removal Services Tab G Mandatory Bid Forms Section 9 SMWBE Utilization Plan Page G.9-2 the advantages obtainable by utilizing other responsible and experienced firms who are capable of furnishing specialty services and products of high quality. First priority will be given to those subcontractors who are from or do business in the surrounding area. A separate program will be included for local contractors that do not necessarily have goals established under the contract requirements. Ceres’ internal subcontractor databases, on -line databases, online local business directories, and local government offices will be used to identify contractors in the immediate area. This is the process used quite successfully by Ceres on previous projects. The search and identification will validate the speed and performance level to mobilize contractors on site and beg in the physical work. Our internal subcontractor database includes subcontractors who have expressed an interest in or assisted our firm in the successful completion of emergency response contracts. All efforts will be made to also procure supplies, materials, and labor from local vendors. Ceres has and will continue to communicate with local authorities, elected officials, and community organizations, its desire to hire local and small business enterprises and subcategory businesses to meet the requirements of FAR 19.704(a) and 52.219-9(d), DFARS Subpart 219.5, 219.704(a)(1), 219.705 and 252.219-7003 and meet specified goals for hiring SBs, SDBs, WOSBs, VOs, SDVOs, and HUBZones. Copies of the contract will be sent to Plan Rooms servicing the particular region in addition to our office in the project area. The contract will also be posted to a web site and potential subcontractor registration will also be available via web, FAX, direct contact (1-877-STORM12). A dedicated toll-free telephone service will be established specifically for subcontractors interested in contracting with Ceres. Ceres has made as many resources available to subcontractors as possible in order to initiate and facilitate communication. The Manager of Administration and the Subcontract Manager will notify regionally based subcontractors of the issuance of a notice to proceed. Ceres’ subcontractor database currently contains more than 3,346 disaster debris management prospective subcontractors who have contacted Ceres with an interest in subcontracting. More than 1,100 of these subcontractors have worked on Ceres’ disaster projects, providing, along with Ceres’ owned fleet, more than 7,000 pieces of loading and hauling equipment. While our database of qualified subcontractors is very large, it is our intention to select from a more regionally based group and have established for Winter Springs four unique response regions. These are based on relative distance from your area and use straight-line miles and/or drive time to establish which region each state of potential subcontractors belongs in. Listed below is information taken directly from our subcontractor database, showing the home state of operation and numbers of subcontractors, by the approximate drive times to Winter Springs. A list of prospective Florida subcontractors is included in this proposal. Should you desire a listing of the Region 1- 4 subcontractors by name and location; Ceres can provide such a list upon request.

Ceres Subcontractor Database Management Ceres’ existing subcontractor database has been developed through out-reach efforts including, but not limited to advertising; broadcast fax solicitations; networking with local and national organizations such as the AGC, applicable trade unions, and Chambers of Commerce, etc. This database contains thousands of subcontractors who have registered with us on-line at www.ceresenvironmental.com. This registration process requires potential subcontractors to indicate their small business subcategory status. The database is continually updated and used by Ceres in recruiting and hiring appropriate subcontractors to meet the requirements of FAR 19.704(a) and 52.219-9(d), DFARS Subpart 219.5, 219.704(a)(1), 219.705 and 252.219-7003 and meet specified goals for hiring SDBs, SBs, WO SBs, VOs, SDVOs, and HUBZone subcontractors. The Subcontract Manager will ensure that the subcontractor database modified for this project is appropriate for the type of information required to be retained and suitable in terms of generating utilization data and contract information for bid solicitations. Specific elements of t he management of this system include: Addition and Deletion from Master List of Subcontractors including the following: ▪ Contact Person ▪ Company ▪ Address ▪ Telephone ▪ Email if available ▪ Equipment Available ▪ Labor Available ▪ Time Needed to Mobilize ▪ Status, Category Additional Requirements of Contractors when Added to Master List ▪ Annual business updates, faxed or mailed ▪ Request to be maintained on Ceres qualified subcontractor list ▪ Insurance Capability ▪ Bonding Capability ▪ Subcontract Package to Include Subcontract Forms and Standard Government Contract Clauses Addition and Deletion of Resource Centers such as: ▪ Contractor Associations ▪ State, Federal, and Local Subcontractor Management ▪ Procurement Automated Source System ▪ National Minority Purchasing Council Vendor Information Service ▪ Council Vendor Information Service ▪ Research and Information Division of the Minority Business Development Agency ▪ Sources used are the SBA’s procurement automated source system (PASS) ▪ National Purchasing Council Vendor Information Service ▪ Minority Business Development Agency ▪ U.S. Department of Commerce ▪ Local Minority Business Development Centers ▪ Economic Development Centers ▪ National American Indian Enterprise Development At present, Ceres’ subcontractor database includes SBs, SDBs, WOSBs, VOs, SDVOs, and HUBZones utilized by Ceres on past projects totaling in excess of 500 Million Dollars, those who have responded to a solicitation by Ceres by means of a letter of interest inquiry executed by a company representative having signatory authority, and those who have been otherwise identified as a potential subcontractor by t he Subcontract Manager through various means mentioned herein. 547 City of Winter Springs ITB #04-25-01 PH Creek Debris Removal Services Tab G Mandatory Bid Forms Section 9 SMWBE Utilization Plan Page G.9-8 In addition, Ceres modified the corporate website (www.ceresenvironmental.com) to include an electronic means of potential subcontractor registration with our firm. This website provides potential subcontractors the opportunity to register with Ceres their pertinent company information, current business status, and capabilities. This information is linked to upload into our database facilitating more ready access by means of database inquiry to locate specific types of contractors, specific types of b usiness concerns, and/or specific locations. The information required to be submitted by each potential subcontractor, which is retained in the database, includes: Information provided by the subcontractors in the registration includes the following: ▪ Contractor Name ▪ Address ▪ Phone/Fax Number ▪ Email Address ▪ Business Type (SBs, SDBs, WOSBs, VOs, SDVOs, and HUBZones) ▪ Ownership Information ▪ Years in Business ▪ Insurance Information ▪ Equipment Available (type and quantity) All potential vendors and subcontractors will be integrated into the Ceres Subcontractor Database modified specifically for this project. This (Access) database retains basic subcontractor information (name, address, and contact information), types of equipment or services provided, any pricing agreement, and business status. In addition, this system tracks work or services provided by each organization, amounts invoiced, and goals. This active vendor base will continue to be broadened throughout the performance of this contact as additional potential vendors and subcontractors are identified and/or as additional needs/solicitations arise. Efforts to broaden this vendor database will also be in conformance to those requirements of FAR 19.704(a) and 52.219-9(d), DFARS Subpart 219.5, 219.704(a)(1), 219.705 and 252.219 -7003. The provision of certain services or materials sought in support of this contract may be restricted to competitive bids received from only SDBs. Such restrictions will be identified by the Project Manager and communicated to the appropriate buyer(s) or contract administrator assisting in solicitation of competitive bids. Ceres is able to utilize the information in this database, then, to contact potential subcontractors who may be interested and capable of providing specific services to our company. By identifying any parameters, such as service type or business location, Ceres can quickly generate an extensive list of potential subcontractors, meeting the criteria of a disadvantaged business as discussed in this plan, for the purposes of soliciting a competitive bid for such services. Award to any given subcontractor will be contingent upon the provision of basic company information, current licensing, as required, and the verification of current insurance information (general liability, automobile, and workers compensation). Other factors may include capacity, capability, experience, and abilities of the firm.

Past Performance In 2018, Ceres responded to the USACE Debris Mission in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Ceres was very successful in subcontracting with local companies, with 72% of the money spent to complete the contract staying within the U.S. Virgin Islands; 100% of the subcontractors used on this project were small businesses. Ceres responded to the USACE, Lake, Mendocino, and Napa County Fire project in 2018 as well. More than half of the subcontractors were considered small businesses and all the subcontractors were from California. Ceres made a huge effort to involve as many Native American tribes from the fire affected areas. Additionally, on USACE projects performed in Louisiana in response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005-2006, 59.5% of subcontracted dollars went to local businesses and 76.1% of the dollars subcontracted to small business went to local small businesses. 548 City of Winter Springs ITB #04-25-01 PH Creek Debris Removal Services Tab G Mandatory Bid Forms Section 9 SMWBE Utilization Plan Page G.9-9 On USACE projects performed by Ceres, in Puerto Rico during the 1998 and 1999 hurricane seasons (Hurricane George), 100% of all subcontracting dollars went to locally based Small and various Disadvantaged Business concerns.

The Contract is incorporated by reference and made a part of this bond. The Surety and the Principal are bound for the full performance of the Contract including without exception all of the Contract Documents (as defined in the Contract) and all of their terms and conditions, both express and implied.

Complete performance of the Contract including correction of defective and nonconforming Work through its own CONTRACTORs or employees, approved as being acceptable to the OWNER, in the OWNER’s sole discretion, provided, however, that OWNER’s discretion in approving the Surety’s CONTRACTOR will not be unreasonably withheld as to any CONTRACTOR who would have qualified to offer a proposal on the Contract and is not affiliated in any way with the Principal. During this performance by the Surety, the OWNER will pay the Surety from its own funds only those sums as would have been due and payable to the Principal under the Contract as and when they would have been due and payable to the Principal in the absence of the breach or default not to exceed the amount of the remaining Contract balance less any sums due the OWNER under the Contract.

Upon execution by the OWNER of the contract for fulfillment and completion of the Contract, the completing CONTRACTOR must furnish to the OWNER a performance bond and a separate payment bond, each in the form of those bonds previously furnished to the OWNER for the Project by the Principal. Each such bond must be in the Penal Sum of the full cost to complete the Contract. The OWNER will pay the completing CONTRACTOR from its own funds only those sums as would have been due and payable to the Principal under the Contract as and when they would have been due and payable to the Principal in the absence of the breach or default not to exceed the amount of the remaining Contract balance less any sums due the OWNER under the Contract. To the extent that the OWNER is obligated to pay the completing CONTRACTOR sums which would not have been due and payable to CONTRACTOR under the Contract (any sums in excess of the then remaining Contract balance less any sums due the OWNER under the Contract), the Surety must pay the OWNER the full amount of those sums at the time the completing CONTRACTOR tenders an invoice to the OWNER so that the OWNER can utilize those sums in making timely payment to the completing CONTRACTOR; or C.Tender the Full Penal Sum.

Take any other acts mutually agreed upon in writing by the OWNER and the Surety. E.IT SHALL BE NO DEFENSE TO SURETY’S OBLIGATION TO UNDERTAKE ONE OF THE PRECEDING COURSES OF ACTION THAT THE PRINCIPAL CONTENDS THAT IT IS NOT IN BREACH OR DEFAULT OF THE CONTRACT, OR THAT THE NOTICE OF BREACH OR DEFAULT WAS DEFECTIVE, OR THAT THE PRINCIPAL HAS RAISED ANY OTHER CLAIM OF DEFENSE OR OFFSET, PROVIDED ONLY THAT THE SURETY HAS RECEIVED THE AFFIDAVIT OF THE OWNER AS SPECIFIED IN PARAGRAPH 2. 3.SURETY’S ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS.
