As the Town of Lyman has been impacted by natural disasters in the past, the Town feels the need to be prepared for any future events for the well-being, safety, and health of its citizenry. This RFP will allow the Town 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. In a major catastrophic disaster, the Town of Lyman 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. Private contractors play a significant role in the debris removal, collection, reduction, monitoring, and disposal process. Private contractors may be employed to supplement the efforts of the Town’s and volunteer works crews.
