As the City of Griffin has been impacted by natural disasters in the past, the City feels the need to be prepared for any future events for the well-being, safety, and health of the community. This RFP will allow the City to be able to quickly begin any cleanup that will assist in alleviating the effects of such an event. Natural and man-made disasters precipitate a variety of debris that includes, but not limited to, such things as trees, sand, gravel, building/construction materials, vehicles, personal property and etc. The quantity and type of debris generated from any particular disaster is a function of the location and kind of event experienced, as well as the magnitude, duration and intensity. The quantity and type of debris generated, it's location and the size of the area over which it is dispersed directly impacts the type of collection and disposal methods used to address the debris problem, associated costs incurred, and the speed with which the problem can be addressed. In a major catastrophic disaster, the City of Griffin may have difficulty locating staff, be under staffed, have problems locating equipment, and may have difficulty funding the debris removal in short term as well as long term.
