They are responsible for hiring all the subs an keeping them honest. Make sure they're bringing in FULL truckloads and not getting paid for half.

They do payroll and all the recordkeeping necessary. With FEMA there is a MOUNTAIN of paperwork, verification, certification, etc., etc., etc.

A friend is pretty much heading up the Houston operation and he is very good at what he does. Houston is lucky to have him.
