Cities of Dublin and Pleasanton | Disaster Debris Management Plan | 2022 56 DO NOT: Accept any contractor’s claim that it is “FEMA certified.” FEMA does not certify, credential, or recommend debris contractors DO NOT: Award a contract to develop and manage debris management sites, unless the debris sites are part of your approved debris management plan or you contact Cal OES or FEMA for technical assistance concerning the need for such an operation. Temporary Debris Management Sites are not always necessary DO NOT: Allow separate line-item payment for stumps 24 inches and smaller in diameter; you should treat these stumps as normal debris DO NOT: “Piggyback” or utilize a contract awarded by another entity. “Piggybacking” may be legal under applicable state law; however, the use of such a contract may jeopardize FEMA funding because these contracts do not meet requirements for competition established in 44 CFR § 13.36. If an applicant requests reimbursement for costs it incurred from a piggyback contract, FEMA will determine the reasonable cost for the performance of eligible work DO NOT: Award pre-disaster/standby contracts with mobilization costs or unit costs that are significantly higher than what they would be if the contract were awarded post-disaster. Such contracts should have variable mobilization costs depending upon the size of the debris work that may be encountered DO NOT: Allow for markups due to errors in volume calculations DO NOT: Allow for miscellaneous items, or for contract contingencies of any kind, including “unknowns.”
