County names Tetra Tech primary for debris‑removal monitoring contracts required for FEMA response
Summary
Parker County selected Tetra Tech as the primary contract for debris‑removal monitoring (with Debris Tech and Pumps & Consulting Services as backups) to ensure compliance with FEMA requirements during large‑scale disasters; the court approved the recommendation 5–0.
The commissioners approved awarding the primary debris‑removal monitoring contract to Tetra Tech after procurement staff reported four responses to the RFP for post‑disaster debris monitoring. The county emergency management coordinator reviewed proposals and recommended the tiered award to ensure capacity in the region during a large event.
The monitoring contract is designed to be activated when debris exceeds 100,000 cubic yards and county forces cannot manage cleanup. Commissioner Walden moved to award Tetra Tech the primary contract, with Debris Tech as secondary and Pumps & Consulting Services as tertiary; the motion carried 5–0. Staff explained the arrangement is standard FEMA practice to ensure qualifying monitoring services are available when federal reimbursement is sought.
