The orientation covers a variety of items such as programs mandated by CAL- <br />OSHA (Hazard communication, injury and illness prevention program, etc.), <br />accident prevention, etc. <br />A list identifying the names of all street sweeping equipment operators shall <br />be provided to the City Projects Manager or designee. All of our personnel <br />are licensed to operate sweepers and are in good standing with the California <br />Department of Motor Vehicles and as pictured to the left, professionally <br />dressed and name tag identified. <br />By teaming up with the Public Works Departments of our client cities, we have been able to increase <br />the quality of our services within the community. Drivers at Athens are trained to communicate with <br />their supervisor to report all issues that affect the effective sweeping of their route. Low hanging <br />trees, pot holes, and uneven blacktop are reported to the supervisor who then relays that information <br />to the city. As an enhancement to our already community-friendly approach to doing business, we <br />train our drivers to recognize and report unusual or suspicious situations to assist local law <br />enforcement. <br />Ability to meet Performance on Schedule <br />We understand that the City will give us latitude in establishing work schedules which correspond to <br />the City's route schedules, manpower and equipment resources. We appreciate that we will have the <br />opportunity to discuss with the City adjusting established schedules to meet special circumstances. <br />We accept that the City will make all final decisions pertaining to adjustment of schedules based on <br />feasibility and efficiency with the goal of completing sweeping on the day scheduled. <br />Bonus Points <br />Athens Services is interested in partnering with the City long term and as such is offering to meet and <br />exceed the suggestions in the City's RFP in regard to the City's existing equipment, facilities, and <br />personnel. <br />• Athens is in a position to purchase or lease the City's equipment and acquire brand new <br />equipment as needed replacements to maintain a high-quality fleet during the term of the <br />contract. Optionally, if the City wishes to keep their equipment we are prepared to supply <br />new trucks. <br />• Athens Services is willing to lease parking space at the City yard for the purposes of cleaning <br />our service vehicles and to perform minor maintenance at current market rates. Additionally, <br />Athens Services is willing to lease or rent additional property for equipment parking above <br />and beyond our needs for Santa Ana, including office space and operational facilities at <br />current market rates; which we estimate to be in the range of $100,000.00 per year for a long <br />term lease. <br />• Athens will purchase fuel at the City yard for our vehicles that service the City and possibly <br />additional vehicles that we operate locally. <br />• Athens Services has experience transitioning Municipal Services to Athens (Private) <br />contracted services. In every case we have offered to, and in some cases hired city employees. <br />We understand that these employees must meet our minimum qualifications for the positions, <br />the particular circumstances of the service allow for it, and to the extent permitted by law.
