Sweeping practices include, but are not limited to the <br />following: (a) Sweeping speed shall be adjusted to street <br />conditions with a maximum speed of eight (8) miles per <br />hour; and (b) patterned concrete medians, intersections, <br />and crosswalks shall be swept at a maximum speed of <br />three (3) miles per hour. Standards, schedules, and <br />frequencies may be modified from time to time as <br />deemed necessary by the City to ensure the highest <br />sweeping quality. <br />We understand that due to different street widths throughout the City, street sweeping may require <br />slower travel speed and/or multiple passes by the sweeper, in many cases, to ensure curb-to-curb <br />coverage of the street. Streets with raised medians (commercial and residential) shall have their curb- <br />gutter perimeter swept, including turnouts. Street grade striped medians shall be swept in their <br />entirety. All deposits within intersections shall be removed as part of the sweeping operations. Each <br />street shall be swept clean to the adjacent property line. Swept clean means minimal debris residual <br />or tailings and none of our sweepers will blow debris onto private property. <br />Additionally, we understand that the City shall determine when the sweeping operations should cease <br />due to inclement weather or other reasons and will notify us immediately once decision is made. <br />During the periods when inclement weather hinders normal operations, we shall adjust our work <br />force in order to accomplish those activities that are not affected by weather. And we accept that <br />failure to adjust the work force to show good progress on the work shall result in deduction of <br />payments to reflect only the work actually accomplished. <br />Employee Training Program <br />Our drivers are well trained to begin with, of course, but we take training even further by maintaining <br />a weekly schedule of ongoing training in the proper operation of the equipment, proper safety <br />techniques, and keep them current with any new pertinent information affecting their work. Drivers <br />are trained to make as many passes as is required to deliver high-quality results. They are all <br />professionally uniformed, name-tag-identified, licensed, insured, and are skilled and experienced and <br />will report any extraordinary service situations including low hanging tree limbs or other obstructions <br />that prevent normal sweeping operations. <br />In order to ensure there is an ample pool of qualified employees to manage a large service area, driver <br />trainees are hired and trained on the use of all vehicles and moved to a permanent driving position <br />based upon completion of all training, comfort level in their position, qualifications, etc. <br />Athens Services is committed to providing a safe and healthy work environment for our employees, <br />citizens, and anyone who may be affected by the service that Athens Services will be providing. <br />Athens Services initiates and maintains complete accident prevention and safety programs. Each <br />individual from top management to the working person is responsible for the health and safety of <br />those persons in their charge and co-workers around them. <br />By accepting mutual responsibility to operate safely, everyone contributes to the well-being of all <br />personnel. Each employee is given a safety orientation by their supervisor or lead personnel prior to <br />the start of work. <br />25H-93
