Subject: Recommendation to Award a Contract for Disaster Debris Removal Monitoring Services

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Executive Summary
This item is for the purchase of disaster debris removal monitoring services for multiple County departments. Approval of this contract will allow the awarded firm to support the oversight and management of debris recovery contractors and submit and/or assist in County applications for public assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the State of Florida, and other applicable agencies. The departments will use this contract to support the oversight and management of debris recovery contractors following disaster events. Costs for services will initially be paid by the County and then submitted to FEMA and/or the State of Florida, as applicable, for reimbursement.

Recommendation
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approve a competitive contract award, Contract No. EVN0016781, Disaster Debris Removal Monitoring Services, to Tetra Tech, Inc. in the amount of $190,070,000 for an initial five-year term and one, five-year option to renew for multiple County departments. The County makes no guarantees as to the volume of work or value of this contract to the awarded vendor, as work will be assigned on an as-needed basis. This contract will replace RFP-00172, approved by the Board via Resolution No. R-37-16.

Background
A Request for Proposals was issued under full and open competition on November 10, 2025. On the closing date of December 12, 2025, the County received five proposals. An evaluation meeting was conducted on February 23, 2026. Negotiations commenced on March 26, 2026. A copy of the Coordinator�s Report is attached.

The contract provides services to manage debris recovery contractors including, but not limited to, field monitoring of debris reduction and removal, truck certification, damage assessment, training, and emergency planning. The contract also includes services to prepare and submit public assistance applications on behalf of the County to FEMA, the State of Florida, and other relevant agencies for disaster recovery efforts.

Scope
The scope of this item is countywide in nature.

Fiscal Impact/Funding Source
The contract allocation will only be used if needed and is an estimate of what could be needed based on previous debris removal monitoring events. The fiscal impact for the initial five-year term is $95,085,000. Should the County choose to exercise, at its sole discretion, the one, five-year option to renew, the estimated cumulative value will be $190,070,000. The current contract is valued at $180,375,000 for 10 years and six months and expires on June 30, 2026. The annualized allocation under the proposed contract is higher than the current contract to account for inflation, increased labor and operating costs, and overall market changes since the current contract was established.
