Proposal Number: RFP #27-1-CTY Disaster Debris Collection Services
1.0 PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND
County of Cumberland requests proposals from qualified firms to provide Disaster Debris Collection Services at no
immediate or annual cost to the County.
The County intends to enter into two (2) stand-by contracts with a firm to provide the services contained within this
RFP. One with a "Primary" contractor and the other with a "Secondary" contractor. The "Primary" contractor will be
on a first contact basis for all disasters and emergencies that may require debris removal, reduction, disposal or other
cleanup activities. The "Secondary" contractor will serve as a backup to the Primary for any disaster or emergency that
may be of a scale larger than one company would be capable and equipped to handle. The County will reserve the right
to decide, at the guidance and recommendation of the County Manager and/or the Emergency Services Director, when
and if the "secondary" contract will be activated.
Cumberland County (population 338,000) is in the southeast section of North Carolina and covers approximately 652
square miles. The most recent population estimates from the Office of State Budget and Management rank the County
as the fifth largest county in the State. The County is home to Fort Bragg.
While cost may be one of many considerations used in selecting a firm, the qualifications and competence of the firm
will be the paramount considerations in the selection process.

is urged and cautioned to submit these items in the form of a question during the question and answer period in
accordance with Section 2.3.

and suppliers, is prohibited from having any communication with any employees or members of the board of
commissioners of the County except those employees of the County Department as designated in this RFP. A vendor
not in compliance with this provision may be disqualified from contract award.
!IMPORTANT INFORMATION! CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION: The proposal must not contain any
information marked as "confidential" or as a "trade secret" or in any other manner as to indicate that it is information
protected by the Trade Secrets Protection Act ( the "Act") as set out in Article 24 of Chapter 66 of the North Carolina
General Statutes, unless the vendor has noticed the County Finance Department of its intent to designate any
information in the proposal as such and received permission from the County Finance Department to do so in
writing. Vendor's notice to the County Finance Department must be in writing and must describe the information for
which confidentiality is requested and explain how the information is a "trade secret" as defined in G.S. 66-152(3). If

that County will take to protect the confidentiality of the information. Vendor's submission of a proposal after receipt of
this notice from the County Finance Department shall be deemed to be acceptance of the County Finance Department's

concerns regarding the specifications during the question and answer period described in Section 2.3.

until the debris reaches the final disposal site. The Vendor will, at no time, take ownership of the debris unless
approved, in writing, by the Debris Manager.
11. Payment for disposal costs such as tipping fees incurred by the Vendor at permitted disposal facilities, or other
County approved sites that meet Local, State, and Federal Regulations for disposal, will be made at the cost
incurred by the Vendor. Vendor must furnish a copy of the invoice received by the disposal facility, all scale or
load tickets issued by the disposal facility, and proof of Vendor payment to the disposal facility.
12. The Vendor shall conduct the work so as not to interfere with the disaster response and recovery activities of
Federal, State, tribal and local governments or agencies, or of any public utilities.
