<br />the heart of Santa Ana. Concurrently, we would immediate begin searching for a property within or near the City to house <br />our fleet. <br />Proposal Enhancements <br />Athens proposes to continue our long-term partnership, one that will enhance the City’s beautification efforts and enrich the <br />quality of life for residents, businesses, and visitors. We have done a thorough analysis of the scope of work, and have <br />provide competitive rates that add the most value to the community. <br />Athens looks forward to negotiating an agreement with the City. As part of that discussion, for example, Athens would like to <br />discuss an alternative beyond the required scope. Athens would be willing provide the City with a dedicated full-time service <br />team for all fifty-two weeks of the year. The City would benefit from an all-inclusive agreement that would provide set <br />frequencies for power washing, sweeping bike lanes, performing bulky-item pickups, and providing support during clean-up <br />events for persons experiencing homelessness. At a slightly higher curb-mile rate, we feel this avenue is worth exploration <br />with the City. We also would like to discuss customary and standard changes to certain contractual provisions in areas such <br />as indemnification, termination, rate adjustments, dispute resolution, standards for performance, and modifications to work <br />(including City-directed changes, changes in law, changes to worker classifications, other unanticipated changes), among <br />others. <br />The Board of Directors of Athens authorizes me in my capacity as Executive Vice President, to transmit and sign the proposal, <br />negotiate a contract with the City of Santa Ana, and execute any agreements, assurances, and other documents related to <br />this proposal and any subsequently awarded contract. <br />My signature with this letter serves as a consignment, in good faith, to the RFP selection process, with no intent by Athens to <br />withdraw the proposal. I further warrant that the service and performance requirements as described in the RFP, its <br />enclosures, attachments, draft agreement, and all addenda have been thoroughly reviewed. Athens has conducted all due <br />diligence necessary to confirm material facts upon which the proposal is based. Athens is ready, willing, and able to perform <br />the services as proposed. <br />On behalf of Athens, I am pleased to submit this proposal and look forward to continuing to provide the best street sweeping <br />service available to the City of Santa Ana. <br />Sincerely, <br />Gary Clifford, Executive Vice President <br />14048 Valley Boulevard <br />City of Industry, CA 91746 <br />Phone Direct: (626) 934-4619 | Fax: (626) 330-0456 <br />Federal Tax ID Number: 95-4313271 <br />Email: GClifford@AthensServices.com
