15  
16  insert:  
17         Section 1.  Paragraph (w) is added to subsection (2) of
18  section 252.35, Florida Statutes, to read:
19         252.35  Emergency management powers; Division of
20  Emergency Management.--
21         (2)  The division is responsible for carrying out the
22  provisions of ss. 252.31-252.90.  In performing its duties
23  under ss. 252.31-252.90, the division shall:
24         (w)1.  In cooperation with the Department of
25  Environmental Protection, establish and maintain a vendor and
26  price list for contractual services of disaster-relief cleanup
27  which will be available statewide for use by state agencies,
28  counties, and municipalities in times of emergencies.
29         a.  Such contracts must require the establishment of
30  hauling rates and debris removal and reduction and must comply
31  with all guidelines of the Federal Emergency Management Agency
                                  1

 1  which are established at the time of the contract.
 2         b.  For purposes of this paragraph, certified minority
 3  business enterprises shall receive first consideration for all
 4  awards.
 5         c.  Purchases by any county, municipality, or other
 6  state agency pursuant to this paragraph related to the
 7  collection, removal, and reduction of disaster debris under
 8  the provisions in the state purchasing contracts, are exempt
 9  from the competitive solicitation requirements that otherwise
10  apply to purchases.
11         2.  Evaluate all proposals for agreements for
12  disaster-cleanup services which proposals are timely submitted
13  to the department pursuant to a request for proposal created
14  by the department. The department shall identify the lowest
15  responsible and responsive vendor and all responsible and
16  responsive vendors who have certified that they are minority
17  business enterprises. In awarding a contract for
18  disaster-cleanup services, the department shall allow a
19  10-percent price preference to a responsible and responsive
20  vendor who has certified that it is a minority business
21  enterprise and an additional 5-percent price preference to a
22  responsible and responsive minority business enterprise that
23  is a Florida business. If no vendors are minority business
24  enterprises, the contract must be awarded to the lowest
25  qualified responsible and responsive vendor as ultimately
26  negotiated by the department. If the proposal of a minority
27  business enterprise is competitive in accordance with the
28  criteria set forth in this paragraph, the department shall
29  negotiate first with the minority business enterprise for the
30  award of the agreement.
31         3.  Establish guidelines and rules and negotiate such

 1  proposals for collection, reduction, transportation, and
 2  disposal of emergency debris by July 1, 2006, and annually
 3  thereafter by February 1 to qualify for the division submittal
 4  of an emergency preparedness plan and to establish guidelines
 5  for price per yard of collection, price per yard for hauling,
 6  price per yeard for disposal, and price per yard for reduction
 7  of disaster debris.
 8         4.  Collect proposals for agreements for the temporary
 9  storage of emergency debris at sites on a statewide basis for
10  use during times of emergency.
11         a.  Such sites must provide a rate per yard for
12  materials delivered, a rate per yard for transportation to the
13  debris ultimate disposal site, and a rate per yard for
14  reduction of the volume of waste.
15         b.  For purposes of calculating the collection rate for
16  the disaster-cleanup services, all proposals must assume a
17  15-mile radius for delivery to a temporary disposal facility
18  and must contain additional per-mile costs if the delivery of
19  the disaster debris is outside the 15-mile radius.
20  
21  The purpose of this paragraph is to provide state agencies and
22  local governments access to agreements negotiated with the
23  division in times of emergency.
