CC – Item 6A – Award of Citywide Tree Maintenance Services ContractROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: BEN KIM, CITY MANAGER41 V DATE: AUGUST 12, 2025 / SUBJECT: AWARD OF CITYWIDE TREE MAINTENANCE SERVICES CONTRACT SUMMARY The City's agreement with West Coast Arborists (WCA) for citywide tree maintenance services expired on September 10, 2024. WCA has continued providing services under an interim contract through June 30, 2025. Following City Council direction, staff re -issued a revised Request for Proposals (RFP) on April 24, 2025, with a submittal deadline date of May 23, 2025. Eight proposals were received and evaluated based on the RFP components relating to qualifications, approach, references, staffing, pricing, completeness, and proposed community benefits. Staff requests that the City Council: 1) review the staff report and the submitted proposals, and 2) select a contractor based on the RFP components and authorize the City Manager to execute an Agreement for a three-year term with two optional one-year term extensions subject to performance and funding availability. BACKGROUND The City of Rosemead maintains approximately 6,172 trees across public rights-of-way, parks, and city facilities, with over 200 diverse species. The Public Services Division oversees the City's overall tree maintenance operations with support from a professional contractor for routine tree trimming, service request trimming, tree removal and replacement, and emergency response. Currently, trees are trimmed on a scheduled, grid -based cycle, covering about 1,500 trees annually. Each tree is trimmed at least once every four years. To better address maintenance needs, the City is in process of consolidating the current four grids into three, with each grid containing over 2,000 trees. This adjustment will ensure each tree is trimmed at least once every three years. This is crucial for public safety, infrastructure protection, and preserving the City's urban forest. It reduces the risk of falling limbs, improves traffic visibility, and safeguards sidewalks, streets, and utilities. Proactive maintenance promotes healthy growth, enhances the City's aesthetics, and minimizes liability. AGENDA ITEM 6.A City Council Meeting August 12, 2025 Page 2 of 8 On April 24, 2025, the City issued a revised Request for Proposals (RFP) for Citywide Tree Maintenance Services, which was made available through the P1anetBids vendor portal. As part of the RFP process, the City organized a mandatory pre -proposal meeting held on May 8, 2025. This meeting provided potential vendors with crucial information regarding the scope of work, specific requirements, and other essential details of the requested services. Attendance at this meeting was mandatory to ensure that all interested parties had a comprehensive understanding of the project's expectations. DISCUSSION On May 23, 2025, the City received eight (8) proposals from various contractors. As per the RFP requirements, all contractors who submitted a proposal were confirmed to have attended the mandatory pre -proposal meeting. This ensured their understanding of the RFP's requirements and their commitment to the process. Following the receipt of the proposals, Public Works Management staff, including the Public Services Manager, City Engineer, and the Fiscal & Project Manager, undertook a thorough review and evaluation. The proposals were assessed and ranked based on established RFP criteria, which included factors such as the contractors' experience, technical capabilities, approach to tree maintenance, references, staffing levels, cost-effectiveness, and proposed community benefits as follows: Evaluation Criteria Max Points Experience and Qualifications 20 Capabilities and Approach 30 References and Past Performance 15 Responsiveness and Completeness 10 Staffing Plan 10 Pricing and Cost Proposal 10 Community Benefit 5 Total 100 The Community Benefit component of the RFP is separated into two categories. Category I awards up to I% of evaluation points to vendors who either; have a physical business location within the City with a valid business license for at least one year before the RFP release or satisfactorily completed work for the City within the past five years. Category II awards up to 4% of evaluation points to vendors committing to City -approved community service during the term of the contract. For the Performance History section component of the RFP, vendors were asked to disclose any contract failures, litigation, or investigations in the past five years. All vendors responded "No negative performance history to disclose," except Greenfield, who did not respond. City Council Meeting August 12, 2025 Page 3 of 8 The evaluation process was thorough and comprehensive, designed to ensure that the proposals were evaluated based on qualifications, capacity, and experience necessary to deliver high-quality tree maintenance services across the City. Each proposal was scored independently and then collectively reviewed to ensure fairness and consistency in the evaluation process. This approach resulted in scores to meet the City's operational needs, safety standards, and long-term tree maintenance goals. The results of the evaluation are outlined below in order by rank, followed by a summary of each proposer's strengths, priority and alignment with the City's expectations. oco .��°� qu �tl o u a 4 ,�+bo a° o$� �� �4°q,�ro'4 gcQ�o 4t 4 �' Rank Vendor I Il Total 1 West Coast Arborists 20 28 15 9 10 8 1 4 95 2 Great Scott Tree Service 19 28 14 10 10 8 0 4 93 3 United Pacific Services 20 29 8 9 10 9 0 1 86 4 Mariposa Tree Mgmt. 17 26 15 5 10 8 0 4 85 6 Tiger Tree Services 17 26 11 7 10 10 0 3 84 5 North Star Landscape 18 26 13 7 8 7 0 4 83 7 Golden West Arborist 18 23 12 8 6 6 0 1 74 8 Greenfield Landscape 14 19 10 4 7 10 0 0 64 West Coast Arborists West Coast Arborist, Inc.

While the contract covers many services, tree grid trimming is by far the most utilized and accounts for approximately 50% of the overall budget. It is the primary ongoing maintenance activity under the contract. Below is a cost comparison showing the proposed unit price per tree and the estimated annual cost for grid trimming based on a 3 -year trim cycle: Vendor Unit Cost Total Annual Grid Trim Cost West Coast Arborists, Inc. $72.00 $148,752 Great Scott Tree Service $68.50 $141,521 United Pacific Services $65.00 $134,290 Mariposa Tree Management Inc. $73.00 $150,818 Tiger Tree Services Inc. $66.00 $136,356 North Star Land Care $81.00 $167,346 Golden West Arbor $130.00 $268,580 Greenfield $65.00 $134,290 The grid trim cost comparison is an "apples -to -apples" evaluation of baseline pricing across all proposers for the most consistent and measurable service. All other services -such as removals, emergency response, and arborist evaluations -are considered specialty or as -needed services. These are requested in response to specific conditions or needs and cumulatively account for less than half of the budget. Consequently, actual annual costs vary significantly based on the volume and type of specialty service requests made by the City throughout the year. Below is a cost comparison of the top specialty service requests, estimated using demand data from the previous fiscal year and cost proposals from vendors: Specialty As -Needed FY 2024-25 Service Qty. ,pr~ G°y £' oC ����D4roe t� u .�' . c3' O1� p�, j `�`ro� C� 45 °4Dy` Prune 0"-6" 26 $1,352 $1,300 $1,170 $1,170 $1,352 $1,040 $5,070 $1,300 Prune 7-12" 31 $3,100 $4,185 $2,635 $3,100 $3,007 $2,775 $6,510 $2,480 Prune 13"-18" 46 $6,900 $7,820 $5,934 $7,820 $7,130 $6,900 $11,500 $6,072 Prune 19"-24" 113 $22,600 $22,600 $20,227 $25,425 $23,730 $22,600 $35,595 $20,905 Prune 25"-30" 96 $24,000 $25,440 $21,600 $26,400 $26,208 $26,400 $39,840 $24,480 Prune 31"+ 76 $22,800 $21,660 $21,660 $22,800 $23,408 $22,420 $51,680 $22,800 Removal 0"-24" 70 $2,800 $2,800 $2,625 $3,010 $2,870 $3,080 $7,000 $2,100 Removal 25"+ 261 $15,660 $13,050 $11,745 $13,833 $13,833 $11,484 $26,100 $9,910 Stump Grind 142 $2,840 $2,840 $2,130 $3,266 $2,270 $2,982 $7,810 $1,420 Crew Service 170 $179000 $21,250 $15,300 $17,510 $16,660 $15,300 $50,150 $15,088 Emergency 12 $1,500 $1,740 $1,320 $1,380 $1,260 $1,200 $4,740 $1,200 $120,552 $124,685 $106,346 $125,714 $121,728 $116,181 $245,995 $107,755 City Council Meeting August 12, 2025 Page 7 of 8 To ensure adequate funds in the Agreement for the additional as needed services, staff recommends awarding the Citywide Tree Maintenance Services contract for a three (3) year term in an amount not to exceed $265,000 per fiscal year, with the option for two additional one-year extensions at the sole discretion of the City.

Contractor agrees to waive subrogation rights against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise. D-2 3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and available or applicable to this agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the City or its operations limits the application of such insurance coverage. 4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing. 5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to eliminate so-called "third party action over" claims, including any exclusion for bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or subcontractor. 6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Contractor shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may affect City's protection without City's prior written consent. 7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured endorsement to Contractor's general liability policy, shall be delivered to City at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other agreement and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Contractor or deducted from sums due Contractor, at City option. 8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to City of any cancellation of coverage. Contractor agrees to require its insurer to modify such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that any party will "endeavor" (as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the certificate. 9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance coverage required to be provided by Contractor or any subcontractor, is intended to apply first and on a primary, noncontributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self-insurance available to City. 10. Contractor agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Contractor, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Contractor.

If Contractor's existing coverage includes a deductible or self-insured retention, the deductible or self- insured retention must be declared to the City. At that time the City shall review options with the Contractor, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions. 12.The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Contractor ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Contractor, the City will negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to City. 13. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement. 14. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform Contractor of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard. 15.Contractor will renew the required coverage annually as long as City, or its employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the agreement is canceled or terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until City executes a written statement to that effect. 16. Contractor shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter from Contractor's insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of insurance and/or additional insured endorsement as required in these specifications applicable to the renewing or new coverage must be provided to City within five days of the expiration of the coverages. 17.The provisions of any workers' compensation or similar act will not limit the obligations of Contractor under this agreement. Contractor expressly agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to City, its employees, officials and agents. 18. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other requirements nor as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all-inclusive. 19.These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any other provision in this agreement and are intended by the parties here to be interpreted as such. 20.The requirements in this Section supersede all other sections and provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this Section. 21. Contractor agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge City or Contractor for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto. Contractor agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Contractor arising out of the work performed under this agreement. City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City.

General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by Contractor. Contractor and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by Contractor: 1. Contractor agrees to have its insurer endorse the third -party general liability coverage required herein to include as additional insureds City, its officials, employees and agents, using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010. Contractor also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise. 2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall prohibit Contractor, or Contractor's employees, or agents, from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. Contractor agrees to waive subrogation rights against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise. Attachment B - Page 16 of 19 3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and available or applicable to this agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the City or its operations limits the application of such insurance coverage. 4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing. 5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to eliminate so-called "third party action over' claims, including any exclusion for bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or subcontractor. 6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Contractor shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may affect City's protection without City's prior written consent. 7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured endorsement to Contractor's general liability policy, shall be delivered to City at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other agreement and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Contractor or deducted from sums due Contractor, at City option. 8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to City of any cancellation of coverage. Contractor agrees to require its insurer to modify such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that any party will "endeavor" (as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the certificate. 9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance coverage required to be provided by Contractor or any subcontractor, is intended to apply first and on a primary, noncontributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self-insurance available to City. 10. Contractor agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Contractor, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Contractor. Contractor agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Attachment B - Page 17 of 19 Contractor agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review. 11.Contractor agrees not to self -insure or to use any self-insured retentions or deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees that it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer or other entity or person in any way involved in the performance of work on the project contemplated by this agreement to self -insure its obligations to City. If Contractor's existing coverage includes a deductible or self-insured retention, the deductible or self- insured retention must be declared to the City. At that time the City shall review options with the Contractor, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions. 12.The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Contractor ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Contractor, the City will negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to City. 13. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement. 14.

This project requires the year-round maintenance, removal, and replacement of approximately 6,200 street and park trees that make up the City's Urban Forest. The City's desire to maintain a safe, healthy, and attractive tree canopy is clearly reflected in its revised scope, updated evaluation criteria, and emphasis on both technical execution and community value. We recognize that the city is transitioning from a four-year to a three-year grid pruning cycle and are fully prepared to support this accelerated timeline. Our approach is based on route- and district -based planning, with fieldwork executed in strict compliance with ISA Best Management Practices and ANSI A300 Standards. Our crews are trained to perform structural priming, crown raising, and crown cleaning, and to adapt their methods based on tree species, condition, and location. Pruning activities are conducted with care to avoid redundant trimming while ensuring every tree receives the attention it requires within the designated cycle. We understand that Rosemead's program also involves more specialized work beyond routine trimming. Our team is equipped to handle difficult -to -access trees using specialty equipment such as 95 -foot aerial towers. We are experienced in managing such projects safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with CAL/OSHA, ANSI Z133, and WATCH standards. Tree removal and stump grinding operations are handled with the same care. Our crews follow a systematic removal protocol, including all debris hauling, site restoration, and stump grinding to with root tracing. We understand removals must be completed within ten days of City notice, and our team is structured to meet these turnaround times without compromise to quality. Tree planting is another critical aspect of the City's program. Each tree we install includes staking, trunk protection, root barrier installation (if needed), and a 90 -day watering schedule. All watering is logged and tracked for invoicing accuracy, and each planting is backed by a one- year warranty—a reflection of our commitment to tree health and establishment. Our team also brings strong technological capabilities. We offer a fully integrated, cloud -based tree inventory system that meets the City's requirements for GIS compatibility, mobile access, and service history tracking. This platform will give City staff real-time visibility into progress, maintenance history, and upcoming work, supporting both operational planning and long-term asset management. Finally, we understand that Rosemead places unique value on community engagement. Our Marketing Manager will lead our public -facing initiatives, which may include tree donation events, participation in City -sponsored cleanups, volunteer days, and support for local school and environmental programs. These activities will be developed in coordination with City staff and submitted for review and approval under the RFP's community benefit guidelines. Great Scott Tree Service is proud to bring over 40 years of experience in municipal tree care, a credentialed and safety -certified workforce, and a proven track record of delivering excellent tree care for cities across Southern California. We are confident in our ability to meet the City of Rosemead's goals through a program that is safe, efficient, proactive, and grounded in community partnership.

SERVICES OFFERED - Great Scott Tree Service, Inc. is a full-service operation equipped and qualified to provide you with the best solutions for all of your tree maintenance needs. GSTS will deliver a level of quality that meets or exceeds the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) standards. We are dedicated to providing tree services that results in a neat, clean and attractive appearance to trees and associated sites serviced. Below is an overview of the most common tree maintenance services that we can provide. TREE PRUNING is performed when conditions within the crown of a hardwood tree are such that the entire tree needs to be fully pruned. Complete pruning is recommended when the primary objective is to maintain or improve tree health and structure, and includes pruning to reduce overall canopy mass and excessive wood weight. A Full Prune typically consists of one or more of the following pruning treatments: • Crown Cleaning or cleaning out is the removal of dead, diseased, crowded, weakly attached and low -vigor branches and water sprouts from the entirety of the tree crown. • Crown Reduction is used to reduce the height and/or spread of a tree. Crown reduction varies from topping, a destructive practice, in that cuts are not made indiscriminately, resulting in large stubbed off limbs that are subject to decay. • Crown Restoration is corrective pruning used as a means to restore the form of crowns that have been previously damaged by extenuating circumstances. This treatment is best performed by tree workers who have a good understanding of the effects of pruning for the cultivation of tree canopies. • Crown Thinning includes crown cleaning and the selective removal of branches to increase light penetration and air movement into and through the crown. Increased light and air stimulates and maintains interior foliage, which in turn improves branch taper and strength. Thinning reduces the wind -sail effect of the crown and the weight of heavy limbs. SERVICE REQUEST PRUNING - At the discretion of the City, service requests can be submitted directly through our web vendor portal or through your dedicated supervisor. City Representatives will have the option, at their convenience, to schedule a vendor portal training seminar where they will learn how to create and track service requests, view upcoming and ongoing jobs, and track overall work history in both GIS map form as well as printable invoice / work history form. Once a request has been submitted City Staff will receive itemized service proposals for review and approval. Regardless of the preferred submittal methods our firm can and will mobilize / deploy crews in any timeline that best fits the City Representative's expectations and needs. It is our intention to work directly with City Staff in providing a level of flexibility to allow for all ranges of response time including, planned project schedules, non -emergency, and emergency requests. LINE CLEARANCE PRUNING is performed when any member of a tree has the potential to compromise the safety or functionality of utility lines within the Cities urban forest. This service type refers to the pruning, trimming, repairing, maintaining, removing, or clearing of trees or the cutting of brush that is near (within 10 feet of) energized power lines in accordance the clearance specifications set forth in General Order 95. Additionally, all efforts will be made to protect the health and overall aesthetics of tree in question. SAFETY CLEARANCE PRUNING is performed when conditions within the crown of a hardwood tree are such that a certain objective needs to be met or a certain condition needs attention. Parkway trees located in adjacent residential neighborhoods with limbs that hang less than 14 feet above the roadway and 9 feet above the sidewalk would be candidates for Safety Clearance Pruning under this contract and may consist of one or more of the following pruning types: • Crown Raising consists of removing the lower branches of a tree in order to provide clearance for buildings, vehicles and pedestrians. It is important that a tree have at least one- half of its foliage on branches that originate in the lower two-thirds of its crown to ensure a well -formed, tapered structure and to uniformly distribute stress within the tree. • Clearance prune is employed as a means of eliminating limbs from the crown of a hardwood tree when an entire pruning of the tree is not warranted. Clearance pruning does not involve the fine detail work described herein as "full prune". PALM TREE CARE criterion varies based on the species, type and/or purpose of the service being performed and consists of maintaining the crowns and trunks of palm trees including the pruning of spent or declining fronds and seedpods, trunk sounding, and the skinning/pinneappling or shaping of spent petiole bases into a ball or nut as applicable by palm type. • Palm Pruning shall consist of the removal of loose dead fronds, fruit clusters and other vegetation from the trunks of all palms in a manner selected by the Contractor and approved by the City's Contracting Officer. • Palm Sounding is proactive approach to preventing extreme safety hazards and (in some recorded cases) death caused by non-visible decay in the trunk interior. A sound inspection is performed at the three general stem areas: the upper stem, middle stem, and lower stem at the North, East, South, and West points of the tree. Detailed written reports with findings, overall assessment, and recommended course of action are then submitted to the City for review. • Palm Skinning is performed to promote positive health, safety, and aesthetic characterizes in most varieties of palm species. Spent petiole bases are left uniformly long to form a base, which shall extend a specific distance (based on the individual species of palm) below the lowest live frond in the crown. Using hand tools, the Contractor shall skin the trunk area below the base clean without causing damage to live trunk tissue. • Palm Pineappling is performed to promote positive health, safety, and aesthetic characterizes specific to Date Palms (Phoenix canariensis & Phoenix dactylifera). Dead petiole bases shall be formed into an ornamental ball, which begins directly below the lowest green fronds and acts to provide a base of support to the palm crown. This ornamental ball shall be uniform and smooth in appearance and shall extend no less than four (4) and no more than eight (8) feet below the lowest live frond in the crown. SMALL TREE CARE is most commonly utilized in the process of "training" young trees to promote a strong arrangement or system of branches with good attachment, appropriate size, and desirable spacing. We support the belief that appropriate care during the tree's establishment period will go a long way in creating safer, aesthetically pleasing, and heathy trees in the years to come. EMERGENCY RESPONSE - Great Scott Tree Service, Inc. recognizes that prompt, professional response to tree -related emergencies is a critical element of public safety and a core expectation under the City of Rosemead's tree maintenance program. Our firm has decades of experience responding to emergency call -outs across Southern California and maintains a proven record of rapid deployment, effective site management, and full incident resolution. Our operations are structured to provide 24 hours a day, 7 days a week emergency response, including weekends and holidays. We utilize a dedicated emergency hotline, which is immediately routed to the Area Manager and on-call supervisors. These personnel are authorized to dispatch field crews and coordinate resources in real time. During normal business hours, response is initiated by our local operations team. After-hours and holiday incidents are escalated directly to our emergency response supervisors and management personnel. Great Scott Tree Service guarantees a maximum response time of one (1) hour for all emergency and after-hours tree service requests. Once on-site, our crews will remain until the situation has been fully stabilized and all immediate tree -related hazards have been cleared. Our response protocol includes: • Site assessment and hazard isolation • Removal of downed limbs, uprooted trees, or debris obstructing roads or public areas • Coordination with City staff, law enforcement, or utility agencies as needed • Temporary barricading or signage for areas requiring follow-up work • Same-day digital reporting and photographic documentation (if required) Because the majority of our field crews and area managers reside throughout Los Angeles County—including several who live in the City of West Covina—and all take their work trucks home each day, we are uniquely positioned to provide a highly responsive and decentralized emergency response model. This field -ready structure enables our team to reach emergency sites quickly and consistently exceed the City's required one-hour response time, regardless of the day or hour. Our field personnel are trained to respond to incidents ranging from single tree failures to multi -day storm recovery operations involving road clearance, emergency removals, and coordination with municipal public works and safety teams. All emergency responders are ISA - certified and fully equipped with the necessary tools, PPE, and traffic control devices to operate safely and efficiently under urgent conditions. This structured, accountable, and well-documented approach to emergency response ensures that the City of Rosemead can rely on Great Scott Tree Service for fast, safe, and effective support in times of urgent need. TREE REMOVAL consists of the removal of the entirety of a hardwood tree or palm tree and the removal of its root system. Removals will be completed per monthly lists or individual service requests submitted by the City's authorized representative. With advanced notice GSTS will identify the location of all utilities and private property landscape irrigation components prior to the removal of a tree and its root system. GSTS will maintain control of the tree and its parts at all times; branches, limbs and trunk sections will be carefully lowered to the ground so as to avoid damage of any type caused by free -falling items. Immediately following the removal, stumps, including the root flare and surface roots shall be ground to a depth in accordance with ANSI Z133 Standards and City of Rosemead Specifications. If any work requires excavation, the GSTS will be responsible for appropriate notification of Underground Service Alert (USA). TREE PLANTING - Great Scott Tree Service along with Elite Nursery will coordinate any planting needs. Elite Nursery is a subsidiary of Great Scott Tree Service and has a 3 -acre parcel of land in the City of Stanton that is used for growing grounds. Elite nursery is fully functional and can grow specialty trees, as well as, purchase other types of trees depending on availability and size. Prior to planting GSTS can assess the planting site and provide the City with a Recommended Planting Guide which will include an outline of viable replanting options and will include detailed description sheets of each species included. Planting palettes will always be determined by our ISA Certified Arborists after a carefully consideration of the planting site area size, probability of successful establishment, cohesive aesthetics to the immediate surrounding area, and the City's general development goals. Upon approval from the City's authorized representative, GSTS will coordinate purchasing and planting operations. Our planting team will conduct all soil preparation, tree installation, and backfill to ISA standards, ANSI A300 standards, and City specifications. ROOT BARRIER INSTALLATION is a method utilized to prevent damage to hardscapes from tree roots and when used appropriately this application can be utilized to help trees thrive in difficult urban and suburban surroundings. Root barrier installation includes all the root pruning methods described above with the added application of installing semi-rigid deflector panels placed between the tree roots and hardscapes. As will root pruning, the same considerations must be taken before a tree can be deemed a viable candidate for this application. Again, GSTS will always notify the City when root barrier installation is not a viable option and we will never proceed if the installation will in any way jeopardize the health, stability, or safety of the tree in question. TREE WATERING will be performed by a one man crew with a water truck who will water various routes including landscape median and young trees that are three (3) years old and younger. GSTS will water all trees in such a manner that will not result in erosion of the tree - watering basin, splashing of parked vehicles or damage to any of the tree's surroundings. CONSULTING ARBORIST / INSPECTION can go a long way in keeping liabilities at a minimum. Great Scott Tree Service employs several consulting arborists who can respond to inspection requests and provide detailed reports and recommendations on as little as an individual tree to large tree populations.

SPECIALTY EQUIPMENT RENTAL will always be readily available should the City come upon a project requiring extraordinary work. GSTS warehouses a number of Roll -offs boxes, loaders, tractors, lifts, and utility vehicles which can be utilized where they are needed. Gm QUALITY CONTROL OVERVIEW - Great Scott Tree Service, Inc. has established a comprehensive Quality Control Plan designed to ensure consistent, high-quality service delivery across all areas of operations. This plan begins with a strong foundation in safety, and extends through pruning standards, certified personnel, customer service protocols, traffic control procedures, and day-to-day operational guidelines. Our Quality Control Plan will be implemented immediately upon contract award to ensure that the City of Rosemead receives professional, reliable, and responsive tree maintenance services throughout the duration of the agreement. QUALITY ASSURANCE & PERFORMANCE MONITORING - Great Scott Tree Service, Inc. employs a formalized Quality Assurance process to ensure all contracted services are delivered to the highest standards of workmanship, safety, and customer satisfaction. This program includes scheduled internal inspections, job -site audits, and service verification procedures conducted by our ISA Certified Supervisors and Management Team. All completed work is reviewed against contract specifications, ANSI A300 and ISA BMP standards, and internal performance benchmarks. Supervisors utilize checklists and quality control logs to monitor crew performance, verify proper pruning and cleanup, and ensure that all equipment is operated and maintained safely. Deficiencies are documented and addressed immediately, with corrective actions implemented and tracked until resolution. City Representatives are encouraged to participate in routine site walk-throughs or quality review meetings. In addition, Great Scott Tree Service provides digital service reports, photo documentation (upon request), and access to our web -based portal for real-time tracking of service requests, work history, and inventory updates. Through this performance monitoring system, we aim to maintain transparency, accountability, and continuous service improvement throughout the life of the contract. SAFETY PROGRAM - Great Scott Tree Service, Inc. is committed to maintaining a rigorous and proactive safety program that protects the health and welfare of our employees, the public, and City property. Our safety culture is supported by a full-time Risk Manager and Field Safety Supervisor, who oversee compliance with all Cal/OSHA regulations, ANSI Z133 safety standards, and ISA Best Management Practices. Safety training is delivered through multiple formats. All employees participate in formal quarterly safety seminars at our Stanton office, covering a wide range of operational and environmental hazards. In addition, our crew leaders conduct bi-weekly jobsite safety discussions and review National Arborist Association Tailgate Safety Sessions with their teams. These field -level check -ins reinforce real-time awareness of risks and expectations. All safety procedures are guided by our formal Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP), developed in collaboration with our insurance carrier and aligned with Cal/OSHA standards. Great Scott Tree Service maintains an excellent safety record, supported by our low Experience Modification Rating (EMR). Both the IIPP and EMR documentation have been included in the Appendices section of this proposal for the City's review. PROJECT COMPLIANCE - Great Scott Tree Service, Inc. will conduct all work outlined in the contract in such a manner as to meet all accepted standards for safe practices during the maintenance operation; safely maintain stored equipment, including machines and materials or other hazards consequential or related to the work; and agrees additionally to accept the sole responsibility for complying with all City, County, State or other legal requirements including, but not limited to, full compliance with the terms of the applicable OSHA and CAL/OSHA, and CAL/EPA Safety Orders at all times so as to protect all person, including contractor employees, agents of clients, vendors, members of the public or others from foreseeable injury or damage to their property. If it appears that the work to be done or any matter relative thereto is not sufficiently detailed or explained by the specifications, Great Scott Tree Service, Inc. shall refer to the City Representative for such further explanation as may be necessary and shall conform to such explanation or interpretation as part of the contract so far as may be consistent with the intent of the original scope of work. PRUNING STANDARDS - All tree pruning performed by Great Scott Tree Service, Inc. will fully comply with the most current standards established by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI A300) and the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Best Management Practices. These industry -recognized guidelines ensure each tree is pruned to promote structural integrity, long-term health, and safety, while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing appearance throughout the City's urban forest. Our crews are composed of ISA Certified Arborists and ISA Certified Tree Workers, all of whom receive ongoing training and maintain their credentials through Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Apprentice trimmers are trained directly under the supervision of certified personnel to ensure full compliance with both technical and safety standards. Oversight is provided by our internal Safety Manager and project supervisors to ensure pruning operations meet the highest level of quality, consistency, and professionalism required by the City of Rosemead. CREW SUPERVISION - Great Scott Tree Service, Inc. will ensure that each work crew is led by an English-speaking ISA Certified Tree Worker or ISA Certified Arborist who is authorized to act on behalf of the firm. A dedicated ISA Certified Arborist will serve as the project supervisor and will retain overall responsibility for field operations and contract compliance. All supervisory personnel are equipped with mobile communication devices to ensure immediate responsiveness in the event of an emergency or urgent City directive. COMMUNICATION & COORDINATION WITH CITY STAFF - Great Scott Tree Service, Inc. prioritizes clear and responsive communication with City representatives at every stage of the contract. A dedicated ISA Certified Project Supervisor will serve as the City's primary point of contact and will be authorized to make immediate field decisions and address concerns in real time. This supervisor will coordinate all field activities and maintain continuous communication with the City's designated contract manager or arborist. We are committed to proactive coordination, including scheduling check -ins, field walk- throughs, and service planning meetings, either on-site or virtually, at intervals requested by City staff. In addition to routine communication, our firm is structured to respond to urgent or emergency requests with direct access to crew leaders, scheduling staff, and management 24 hours a day. COMMUNICATION & COORDINATION (continued) - All service requests, completed work, and tree inventory updates can be reviewed through our web -based portal, which allows City staff to submit requests, view pending and completed jobs, and track work history through both GIS maps and printable reports. Our approach ensures transparency, accountability, and real-time responsiveness throughout the life of the contract. EMPLOYEE COVERAGE - As your tree care provider, one of our primary responsibilities is to create a stable and reliable workforce. We achieve this by implementing redundancies at every staffing level. With over 145 workers centrally located in the Los Angeles and Orange County areas, we have the field resources and internal scheduling professionals to provide you with well- trained and certified replacements before any disruptions occur. If the city awards us the Tree Maintenance Services contract, we are prepared to provide certified field workers, including groundmen, tree trimmers, and senior tree workers. Our staffing can be scaled up or down as needed based on the city's immediate tree maintenance requirements. A general grid pruning crew would consist of. One (1) Senior Tree Trimmer, Two (2) Tree Climbers/Bucket Operators, Two (2) Groundmen. Additionally, we can provide standby crews as needed for service request trimming, tree removal, and planting. TRAFFIC CONTROL - Great Scott Tree Service, Inc. recognizes the importance of maintaining safe and accessible public rights-of-way during all tree maintenance operations. Unless specifically authorized otherwise, all streets will remain open to local traffic while work is in progress. Where temporary lane closures or access restrictions are necessary, our team will coordinate with the City of Rosemead and any applicable agencies in advance to ensure proper authorization and public safety. Traffic control will be implemented in accordance with the most current edition of the Work Area Traffic Control Handbook (WATCH) and, where applicable, the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD). Standardized warning signs, cones, barricades, and flaggers will be deployed as appropriate to ensure safe conditions for both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. At no time will operations proceed in a manner that presents a hazardous condition to the public. Additionally, Great Scott Tree Service will coordinate with utility companies as needed, respecting their access requirements and adjusting schedules when utility -related work conflicts with planned tree operations. Care will be taken at all times to avoid damage to utility infrastructure within the public right-of-way. NOTIFICATION - Prior to the commencement of any non -emergency tree maintenance activities, Great Scott Tree Service will notify affected residents and/or businesses at least 48 hours in advance of the scheduled work. Notification will be provided through the use of door hangers or other City -approved methods, and will clearly indicate the type of work to be performed and the anticipated time frame. In addition, "No Parking" signs will be posted a minimum of 48 hours prior to the start of work, showing the dates, times, and nature of the maintenance activity. Under no circumstances will signage be attached directly to any City tree. INCIDENTS & COMPLAINTS - Great Scott Tree Service, Inc. is committed to delivering services that minimize the potential for incidents, property damage, or public complaints. In the event that an issue does occur, our on-site supervisor will immediately notify our internal Customer Service Team, who will document the matter and notify the City Representative within 24 hours. A resolution plan will be implemented promptly, with all necessary corrective actions completed within 48 hours, unless otherwise directed by City staff. All complaints, whether received directly or forwarded by the City, will be logged and tracked in our centralized database. When appropriate, our management team will schedule direct communication with the reporting parry and City staff to ensure concerns are addressed collaboratively and transparently. Our goal is to resolve all complaints quickly, professionally, and in full coordination with City expectations. INSPECTION - The City Arborist or their designated representative shall have access to all work performed under this contract and may inspect equipment, materials, and jobsite conditions at any time. Great Scott Tree Service will provide full cooperation to facilitate these inspections and will notify the City in advance of any changes to the work schedule. All vehicles and equipment used must meet the safety and operational standards outlined in this RFP, including proper company identification, routine maintenance, and the absence of leaks or mechanical hazards. Safety guards must remain in place, and equipment must not pose a risk to operators, co-workers, or the public. City inspections do not relieve the contractor of its responsibility to meet all contractual obligations and performance requirements. CLEAN UP - Upon completion of work on individual street segments that are under the contract, Contractor shall clean the work site and all grounds adjacent to the work area of all debris, excess materials and equipment. All sections of the work area shall be left in a neat and presentable condition.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT - Great Scott Tree Service, Inc. is deeply committed to creating lasting value not only through high-quality tree maintenance, but also through meaningful contributions to the communities we serve. We understand that municipal partnerships extend beyond contracted services—they are opportunities to foster public pride, environmental stewardship, and civic engagement. As such, our team is fully prepared to support the City of Rosemead's community benefit objectives throughout the duration of this contract. The City of Rosemead has outlined clear examples of community engagement, including participation in school programs, Earth Day tree donations, City -sponsored cleanup events, and involvement with the Rosemead Chamber of Commerce. We proudly support these efforts and will actively collaborate with City staff to develop and execute City -approved service activities that align with public goals and local needs such as: • Plant trees at schools, parks, and community centers during annual events such as Earth Day, Arbor Day, or Public Works Week. • Provide interactive tree education sessions at local schools, including demonstrations of safe climbing techniques, urban forestry careers, and the benefits of healthy trees. • Assist in establishing a "Tree of the Month" program, where selected trees across the City are highlighted for their ecological or cultural significance, paired with educational signage or social media campaigns. • Assist in holiday tree lighting events, including pre -event trimming, lighting support, and site safety reviews for featured trees in public spaces. • Remain active members of the Rosemead Chamber of Commerce, participating in local business mixers, service days, and civic events. We believe that these efforts not only meet the criteria outlined in the RFP but also reflect a broader philosophy of environmental responsibility, education, and civic partnership.

Great Scott Tree Service is proud to serve as both a contractor and a community partner. We welcome the opportunity to bring our full range of resources, creativity, and people to support the City's vision of a healthy, engaged, and environmentally vibrant Rosemead.

This hands-on, family - friendly event gave children and residents an up -close look at the tools and personnel that help maintain their city, and we were honored to be a featured participant alongside public agencies and other key contractors.

INVOICING / WORK HISTORY TrimIT dynamically creates, stores, & tracks invoices, proposals, contact information & inventory of all the properties that Great Scott services. In addition to accounting, Quickbooks, a line of business accounting software, is used to manage the customer's balances. The most difficult task for the person responsible for tree care is maintaining accurate work history records. TrimIT will give you the ability to maintain work history on each individual tree. The work history includes the date work was performed, the type of work and the total cost. The true challenge in tree management is locating trees in an open space environment. Trees in a golf course, park, apartment complex, school ground, etc. are difficult to identify using a standard tabular database program. By applying the mapping component to the database, the functionality increases exponentially. Work Request is 4` ., Sxcts msncE.

GREEN WASTE RECYCLING - Great Scott Tree Service Inc.'s dedication to being a responsible corporate citizen is demonstrated in its Green Waste Recycling Program. We realize the importance of investing in our future and protecting our resources. Unless specified otherwise, we divert all our green waste to recycling centers, instead of the traditional landfills. We have partnered with California's top-rated bio -fuel power plant; Colmac Energy Inc. located in Mecca, California. In accordance with AB 939 of the California Integrated Waste Management Act GSTS has established a waste management hierarchy to guide implementation, in order of priority: (1) source reduction, (2) recycling and composting, and (3) environmentally safe transformation and land disposal. Green Waste Bio -Fuels — is investing in the future and protecting our resources by producing reliable green energy. Colmac Energy has demonstrated that biomass plants using urban wood wastes as fuel (such as those that result from, right-of-way tree trimmings, and other chipped wood wastes) can generate significant environmental benefits including reduced air pollutants from open-air I burning and lowered demand for landfill space. "Time has proven that the low emissions of the plant, and the collection of citrus and vineyard pruning's and removals that would otherwise be open -burned, has essentially eliminated open -burning and the associated air pollution." Mulch — is a layer of material applied to the surface of an area of soil. Its purpose is to conserve moisture, improve the fertility and health of the soil, reduce weed growth, and to enhance the visual appeal of the area. GSTS processes a large amount of its tree debris as mulch for use in mulching projects and we offer to provide your organization with mulch, at no cost for the duration of the tree maintenance agreement.

The term "take" is defined as "pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture or collect" any migratory bird or any part, nest or egg of any bird covered by the conventions, or to attempt those activities. According to the Act, anyone who violates the Act, or its regulations, is guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to fines, jail time or both. Anyone who knowingly takes a migratory bird and intends to sell or barter the bird is guilty of a felony. NESTING SEASON The nesting season is generally considered February 11 to August 31' in California, with it's peak from mid-March and late -June, however this can vary from year to year depending on temperatures, rainfall and prey abundance and, although uncommon, birds have been reported to nest in all months of the year in California. GENERAL GUIDELINES Crews will always perform a visual inspection, of the entire tree and surrounding area. If an active nest is found within 300 feet (passerines) or 500 feet (birds of prey) of a tree site the foreman will delay tree work until it can be determined that the nest is no longer active. If the nest has been determined to be active the tree will be flagged in our inventory system as such and will be removed from the work order and placed on dedicated tree list to be completed at a later time.

Experience rating is a state -mandated merit rating program established in the California Insurance Code. The specific rules and guidelines are contained in the Califomia Workers'Compensation Experience Rating Plan -1995 (Experience Rating Plan). The primary purpose of experience rating is to reduce workplace injuries by providing a direct financial incentive for workplace safety. To accomplish this goal, the experience rating system compares an employer's history of claims against others in its industry that are of similar size. This comparison based on an employer's own claim history is used in determining the premium the employer pays. Experience rating uses past experience to forecast future losses. An increase in an experience modification is not intended to collect additional premium to recoup the cost of claims that were filed in past years. Rather, it uses an individual employer's loss history as a predictor of what might be expected in the future. An employer that is experience rated will have an experience modification, which is expressed as a percentage on the bottom of this Experience Rating Form. An experience modification below 100% reflects better than the industry average claim history while an experience modification over 100% reflects worse than the industry average claim history. Insurers must apply the issued experience modification in their premium computation, but can also apply other debits and credits to determine the final premium to be charged. Data Used for Experience Rating and the Experience Period With few exceptions, the payrolls and losses arising from all policies incepting within the experience period as reported by the insurer are used in the calculation of your experience modification. The experience period is defined in the Experience Rating Plan as a 3 -year time period that commences 4 years and 9 months prior and terminates 1 year and 9 months prior to the date for which an experience modification is to be established. The actual experience period used to calculate this experience modification is shown in the heading of the Experience Rating Form. About the Experience Rating Form This form shows the payrolls for each applicable classification and the claims reported by the insurer and used in the experience modification calculation. This data is reported to the WCIRB in accordance with the Califomia Workers' Compensation Undoml Statistical Reporting Plan -1995 (Reporting Plan). The Experience Rating Form is divided into four main sections: Heading, Summary of Payroll and Expected Losses, Summary of Claims and Actual Losses, and Rating Procedure. Headina Your company name, address and other business names that are included on your insurance policy are captured from the policy information page. This section also includes the date the experience modification is effective and the date the Experience Rating Forth was issued to the insurer. If a previously published experience modification was revised, the rerate number and reason are included in this section. Summary of Payroll and Expected Losses This section reflects the payrolls reported by the insurer for each applicable classification. The payrolls shown reflect audited payrolls, which result from the final audits conducted by the insurer. The expected losses for each classification are derived from the reported payrolls for that classification and the corresponding expected loss rate approved by the California Insurance Commissioner. Your expected excess losses are the portion of the expected losses that is, on average, above the primary threshold (see Summary of Claims and Actual Losses) that applies to your business. Your expected losses and expected excess losses are used to calculate your experience modification. VVMRBcati am - Summary of Claims and Actual Losses This section reflects the losses on claims reported by the insurer for each policy included in the experience period. The actual loss shown for each reported claim represents the total incurred loss value of the claim. This includes the actual loss amount paid and, for claims that were open when the loss information was provided, a loss amount reserved by the insurer for future expected loss payments. (Loss adjustment expenses are not included.) The loss amounts generally reflect the insurer's most recenfly reported valuation of the incurred loss value as required pursuant to the Reporting Plan prior to the effective date of the experience modification. The actual primary loss shown for each claim is the dollar amount of the actual loss of each claim that is used in the experience modification calculation. For most claims, it is the loss amount of each claim up to your primary threshold less $250. (Your primary threshold is shown on the top line of this section and is based on the size of your business as measured by your total expected losses.) If the actual loss of the claim is $250 or less, it is not used in the experience modification calculation. Your actual primary losses are used to calculate your experience modification. Rating Procedure This section reflects the calculation of the experience modification. The rating procedure and the information used in calculating the experience modification are detailed in the Experience Rating Plan. Your experience modification is determined as the ratio of the sum of your actual primary losses and expected excess losses compared to your expected losses. This section also shows the loss -free rating which is the experience modification that would have been calculated if no claims were incurred during the experience period or if the only claims incurred were for $250 or less. When there is only a single claim in the experience period in excess of $250, the experience modification is limited to be no higher than 25 percentage points above the loss -free rating.

Your company name, address and other business names that are included on your insurance policy are captured from the policy information page. This section also includes the date the experience modification is effective and the date the Experience Rating Form was issued to the insurer. If a previously published experience modification was revised, the rerate number and reason are included in this section. Summary of Payroll and Expected Losses This section reflects the payrolls reported by the insurer for each applicable classification. The payrolls shown reflect audited payrolls, which result from the final audits conducted by the insurer. The expected losses for each classification are derived from the reported payrolls for that classification and the corresponding expected loss rate approved by the California Insurance Commissioner. Your expected excess losses are the portion of the expected losses that is, on average, above the primary threshold (see Summary of Claims and Actual Losses) that applies to your business. Your expected losses and expected excess losses are used to calculate your experience modification. .. IRBcaiftnia- Summary of Claims and Actual Losses This section reflects the losses on claims reported by the insurer for each policy included in the experience period. The actual loss shown for each reported claim represents the total incurred loss value of the claim. This includes the actual loss amount paid and, for claims that were open when the loss information was provided, a loss amount reserved by the insurer for future expected loss payments. (Loss adjustment expenses are not included.) The loss amounts generally reflect the insurer's most recently reported valuation of the incurred loss value as required pursuant to the Reporting Plan prior to the effective date of the experience modification. The actual primary loss shown for each claim is the dollar amount of the actual loss of each claim that is used in the experience modification calculation. For most claims, it is the loss amount of each claim up to your primary threshold less $250. (Your primary threshold is shown on the top line of this section and is based on the size of your business as measured by your total expected losses.) If the actual loss of the claim is $250 or less, it is not used in the experience modification calculation. Your actual primary losses are used to calculate your experience modification. Rating Procedure This section reflects the calculation of the experience modification. The rating procedure and the information used in calculating the experience modification are detailed in the Experience Rating Plan. Your experience modification is determined as the ratio of the sum of your actual primary losses and expected excess losses compared to your expected losses. This section also shows the loss -free rating which is the experience modification that would have been calculated if no claims were incurred during the experience period or if the only claims incurred were for $250 or less. When there is only a single claim in the experience period in excess of $250, the experience modification is limited to be no higher than 25 percentage points above the loss -free rating.

As a company, we are committed to maintaining a safe and healthful working environment. Management will provide all necessary safeguards, programs, and equipment required to reduce the potential for accidents and injuries. To achieve this goal, we have developed and implemented a comprehensive Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) tailored for our needs as a company. This program is designed to prevent workplace accidents, injuries, and illnesses that result from our daily activities. It is the intent of Great Scott Tree Service Inc. to comply with all laws relating to occupational safety and health. To accomplish this, we require the active participation and assistance of all employees. The policies and procedures contained in our safety program are mandatory. Employees should also be constantly aware of conditions in all work areas that can produce injury or illness. No employee is required to work at a job that he or she knows is not safe. Employees should not hesitate to inform their manager of any potentially hazardous situation or condition that is beyond their ability or authority to correct immediately. No employee will be discriminated against for reporting safety concerns to management. It is the responsibility of each employee to support our company's injury prevention program and to perform in a manner that assures his or her own personal safety and the safety of others, including fellow employees, customers, contractors and visitors. To be successful in our endeavor, all employees on every level must adopt proper attitudes towards injury and illness prevention. We must also cooperate in all safety and health matters, not only between management and employees, but also between each employee and his or her respective coworkers. Only through such an effort can any safety program be successful. These policies of Great Scott Tree Service Inc. are for the safety of all our employees, contractors and subcontractors. Adherence to all company safety rules, policies and procedures is required from all employees, contractors and subcontractors and a condition of employment. They Page 3 of 49 Page 64 APPENDICE 2: IIPP 2017 GSTS IIPP 3-23-17 Rev Final Great Scott Tree Service Inc. 8118/2015 IIPP Safety Manual may be changed by the company at any time without notice or modified as individual circumstances may require in the best interests of efficient management of the company.

They may be changed by the Company at any time without notice or modified as individual circumstances may require for the well-being of our employees and for the efficient management of the Company. Company management will provide safe and healthy working conditions. All employees must follow safe practices at all times. All employees must accept and follow all rules of safety. Whenever an employee finds an unsafe condition they must report it immediately to his or her supervisor, safety personnel, or management. Any injury that occurs on the job, even a slight cut or strain, is to be reported to management as soon as possible. In no circumstance except an emergency should an employee leave a shift without reporting an injury that occurred. All employees including office personnel will be trained in safe work practices. The training will be done by video or by training from the employees' supervisor. If an employee is observed following unsafe practices, the employee will receive a written violation warning. Once the employee receives three (3) written warnings, he or she will be automatically suspended for one (1) workday without pay. Further action may be taken depending on the seriousness of the violation. Great Scott Tree Service Inc. will make every effort to maintain safe working conditions. However, the principal responsibility for safety falls upon you, the employee! All employees are asked to inform their supervisor, safety committee personnel, or management of any work hazards of which they might be aware. Great Scott Tree Service Inc. will arrange for you to supply information anonymously if you do not wish to be identified. No employee should fear reprisal for notifying management of any safety hazards. In fact, we encourage all employees to inform us immediately of any hazard, no matter how small it may seem. We welcome your suggestions to improve safety and health at our company. Ideas may be submitted, verbally or in writing, to a member of our safety committee. All safety and health suggestions that we receive will be reviewed. We will then determine what action is necessary. All suggestions shall receive a response. The injured employee's supervisor or someone from management will investigate all occupational injuries and illnesses that are job-related. Particular attention will be given to methods to prevent future situations that caused the injury or illness. All employees will receive prompt and timely safety training. Safety rules and safe practices will be emphasized at these training sessions. All new employees will receive a copy of the summary, to be signed and put in their file, indicating that they have been trained at the beginning of employment. Any employee given a new job assignment, for which training has not previously been received, will be trained in that particular job immediately. Records will be kept of all training provided. These records will indicate the type of training given, date, the name of the training provider and the employee's signature.

Page 10 of 49 Page 71 APPENDICE 2: IMP 2017 GSTS IIPP 3-2317 Rev Final Great Scott Tree Service Inc. 8/18/2015 IIPP Safety Manual ANSI Z133 Standard & Employee Understanding It is our company policy that you will follow the current version of the ANSI Z133 arboriculture safety standards as well as our company's safety procedures. The Z133 Standard was developed by arborists and tree trimmers, for arborists and tree trimmers under the standards -developing procedures created by the American National Standards Institute, creating what this industry's safety experts feel are the minimum acceptable standards of practice for safety in arboriculture. It represents the collective wisdom and experience of countless arborists. Neither Z133 nor any standard can cover every situation. For instance, the Z133 Standard states that specialized practices or personnel emergencies may require modification of standard requirements, and that it is not intended to limit the options available to you in either of those situations. You should not have to deviate from the standard's requirements, but if you do, you will have to be able to justify your actions. You need to understand the difference between "Should" and "Shall" as they are used in the standard. The word "Should" indicates an advisory statement where it is feasible that the actions you take might be different from the prescribed practice. A "Shall" indicates a mandatory requirement, where it is inconceivable that your actions would have to deviate from the prescribed practice, except where exceptions are noted in the standard. Finally, you need to understand that the Z133 Standard does not take precedence over, or take the place of, the safe work policies of Great Scott Tree Service. General Safety Rules For the protection and safety of all employees, Great Scott Tree Service Inc. has established the following rules designed to prevent accidents and injuries. Compliance with these rules is mandatory and represent a condition of employment. Documentation will be made when the rules are distributed to new employees. Proper footwear and clothing will be worn at all times. Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or keep long hair in a down position. There is a danger of catching such items in moving machinery. Horseplay, running, fighting or any activity that may result in injury or waste will not be tolerated. Appropriate personal protective equipment, or PPE, will be worn for the task(s) at hand, as specified by training and job briefing(s). Operate machinery with all guards in place. Tampering with safety devices is cause for immediate disciplinary action. Do not operate any machine you are not familiar with or have not been trained on and authorized to use. Frequent cleaning and inspection of trucks and equipment is in the strictest sense a maintenance function that is overlooked all too often. However, it is something that must be followed on a Page 11 of 49 Page 72 APPENDICE 2: IIPP 2017 csrs nPP 3-23-17 Rev Final Great Scott Tree Service Inc. a/lar2015 IIPP Safety Manual continuing basis to instill pride in the equipment and to facilitate thorough inspection and maintenance. Machines must never be cleaned, adjusted or repaired until the machine is turned off and positively prevented from turning back on, and moving parts that could cause injury are prevented from moving. More information can be found in the "Lockout/Tagout" section of this policy. Any defects in materials, machinery, tools and equipment must be reported immediately to a supervisor, safety personnel, or management. Do not leave tools, materials, or other objects on the floor that might cause others to trip and fall Do not block exits, fire doors, aisles, fire extinguishers, gas meters, electrical panels or traffic lanes. Do not lift more than 50 Ib. Avoid injury caused by attempting to lift or push excessive loads. If an object is too heavy to move without strain, ASK FOR HELP. Page 12 of 49 Page 73 APPENDICE 2: IIPP 2017 GSTS IIPP 3-23-17 Rev Final Great Scott Tree Service Inc. 8/18/2015 IIPP Safety Manual Observe the correct posture for lifting. Stand with your feet slightly apart, assume a squatting position with knees bent, and tuck your chin into your chest. Tilt head forward, grasp the load with both hands, and gradually push up with your legs, keeping your back straight and avoiding any abrupt movement. Do not distract others while working. When approaching a co-worker for any purpose, do so from the front or the side in a way that they will see you coming and will not be startled or surprised. If conversation is necessary, first make sure that it is safe. Do not allow oil, water or any other material to remain on the floor for long periods of time where you or others may slip. Report any slip and fall problems to your supervisor. When handling hazardous materials, be sure to follow prescribed safety procedures and use required safety equipment. When using secondary containers filled by others, be sure they are labeled as to their contents and hazards. Know your Material Data Safety Sheets (MSDS) and where they are located. Review them often. Use appropriate gloves when handling materials with sharp or jagged edges, when handling chemicals, when handling hot material, or to protect your hands in general. Unnecessary and excessive haste is the cause for many accidents. Exercise caution at all times. All work related injuries and accidents, no matter how minor, must be reported immediately to your supervisor, safety personnel, or management. Employees must understand and comply with all sections of the ANSI Z133 Standard that apply to their job activities. All employees must be thoroughly familiar with these basic safety rules. Failure to comply with safety rules or procedures, or failure to wear the appropriate safety equipment, will result in disciplinary action up to and including termination. Workplace Violence Prevention Plan (WVPP) GSTC is committed to maintaining a safe and secure work environment for all employees. Our Workplace Violence Prevention Plan outlines our commitment to preventing workplace violence and promoting a culture of safety and respect. GSTC prohibits all forms of workplace violence, including threats, intimidation, harassment, and physical violence, whether committed by employees, clients, visitors, or any other individuals. Any act or threat of violence will be taken seriously and may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment, and may also result in criminal prosecution or civil liability. The Workplace Violence Prevention Plan is housed in the IIPP binders at each worksite. It is integrated into our overall safety program to ensure that all employees have access to essential safety information training, reporting, and procedures.

The committee will gather input from employees of the company and collect information from other sources in order to eliminate workplace hazards and protect workers at all levels. A current list of Safety Committee members can be found in Appendix A. Page 14 of 49 Page 75 APPENDICE 2: IIPP 2017 GSTS IIPP 3-23-17 Rev Final Great Scott Tree Service Inc. 8/18/2015 IIPP Safety Manual Objective The Safety Committee shall assist the Safety Director in the development and implementation of an proactive accident prevention program. The individual experience, unique training, and the specialized training of the committee members should guide the program development process. Membership The size of the safety committee will vary with the size of the business and should be large enough part of the Emergency Response Team and will receive appropriate training for that role. Procedures The safety committee will meet bi-monthly, with minutes kept (see form). The minutes are to be distributed to all committee members, the location General Manager and all Department Heads. Recommendations should be tracked and those not completed should be entered into the minutes of the current meeting, with a specific plan or outline for resolution. Safety Committee Members Emergency Action Plan The following details the organizational structure of our plan and outlines emergency measures to be taken in the event of fire or other emergency. Remember, your conduct and actions during the first few minutes of any emergency may not only save your life, but the lives of your fellow workers and other members of the community as well. General Information Two important telephone calls need to be made if the facility is to be evacuated because of a fire or disaster within the facility, or an external hazardous condition threatening the facility. If either of these two situations occurs, notify 911 (Emergency Medical Services and Police). Upon order of management or other person(s) in charge to totally evacuate the facility, the company will initiate an evacuation center receiving plan. It may be necessary to transport company personnel to a local evacuation center. Priority of evacuation may be a necessity if there are handicapped employees.

Chemical Hazard Communication Name of Contact Person: Jason Wade Title: Fleet Maintenance Manager Hazard Evaluation Chemical manufacturers and importers are required to review the available scientific evidence concerning the hazards of the chemicals they produce, and then report that information to employers who purchase their product. In most cases, Great Scott Tree Service Inc. will choose to rely on the evaluations performed by our suppliers. If for some reason we do not trust the evaluation of the manufacturer, we will arrange for additional testing. We will consider the following chemicals used in our business to be hazardous: 1 Motor Oil 7 Degreaser 2 Compressed Oxygen 8 Diesel Fuel 3 Compressed Argon 9 Gasoline 4 Compressed Acetylene 10 Two Stroke Oil 5 Transmission Lubricant 11 Response[Redacted - Confidential Emergency o - S) "e container. The labels will be legible and prominently displayed. Our training program will include instruction on how to read and interpret label information. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: We are permitted to post signs that convey the hazard information if there are a number of stationary containers in a given area, which have similar contents and hazards. We are not required to label portable containers, as long as the transferred chemical is for immediate use by the employee who made the transfer. We are not required to label pipes or piping systems. Page 17 of 49 Page 78 APPENDICE 2: IIPP 2017 GSTS IIPP 3-2317 Rev Final Great Scott Tree Service Inc. 9/1a/2015 IIPP Safety Manual Safety Data Sheets (SDS) The management of Great Scott Tree Service Inc.is responsible for obtaining or developing an MSDS for each chemical used in the workplace. Each SDS will include the specific chemical identity of the chemical involved and the common names. Each data sheet will provide information on the physical and chemical characteristics of the chemical; known acute and chronic health effects and related health information; exposure limits; whether the chemical is considered to be a carcinogen; precautionary measures; emergency and first aid procedures; and the identification of the organization responsible for preparing the sheet, how to store the chemical, and how to transport the chemical. A MSDS information binder will be readily accessible to all employees to view at GSTC corporate office 10761 Court Ave Stanton, CA 90681, located within Fleet Department Area. The Fleet Manager is responsible for maintaining the SDSs describing chemicals used in his/her department and for keeping them readily available to employees. Our training program will include instructions on how to read and interpret information on an SDS, and how you can obtain and use the available hazard information. Employee Training It is the goal of Great Scott Tree Service Inc.to provide hazard communication training on yearly basis, whenever a new chemical is introduced to a given work area or as needed. Training will be done in a meeting setting and will be conducted by the Program Coordinator or another who has been properly trained. The training program will consist of: ❑ How the hazard communication program is implemented, how to read and interpret information on labels and the SDS, and how employees can obtain and use the available hazard information. ❑ The hazards of chemicals to which employees are exposed in the work area. ❑ Measures employees can take to protect themselves from the hazards. ❑ Specific procedures put into effect by the company to provide protection, such as personal protective equipment, mechanical guards, or protective processes. ❑ Methods that you can use, such as visual appearance or smell, to detect presence of hazardous chemicals to which you or your co-workers may be exposed. ❑ Name and/or job title of who you can go to if you have questions. Drug/Alcohol Free Workplace Nothing in this statement of policy is to be interpreted as constituting a waiver of management's responsibility to maintain discipline, or the right to take disciplinary measures in the case of poor performance or misconduct up to and including termination of employment. This policy applies to all employees of Great Scott Tree Service. In the case of employees of alcohol, controlled substances, unauthorized drugs, intoxicants, drug paraphernalia, or any Page 18 of 49 Page 79 APPENDICE 2: IIPP 2017 GSTS IIPP 3-23-17 Rev Final Great Scott Tree Service Inc. 9/18/2015 IIPP Safety Manual combination thereof on any company premises or work sites, including Company vehicles and private vehicles parked on Company premises or work sites.

Employees who fail to conform to these rules will be subject to removal from the facility and appropriate disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment. This policy applies to all employees. Self -Identification. Employees who volunteer information of their chemical dependency problems may receive the support and aid of the company for rehabilitation. However, any support or aid offered to an employee is a discretionary management decision and will be based partly on the circumstances of the employee, the manner the Company obtained the information and the seriousness and frequency of other Company violations. The decision to request a diagnosis and accept treatment for a chemical dependency is the personal responsibility of the individual. An individual's refusal to accept referral for diagnosis or to follow prescribed treatment will be considered insubordination and a violation of this policy. Fitness for Duty. As a condition of employment, employees must report to their jobs in a condition that will allow them to be mentally and physically alert. When a manager has reason to believe fitness for duty of an employee is impaired, because the employee is under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or other controlled substances, the employee's fitness should be witnessed by another supervisor (if possible). If they concur that the employee's fitness for duty is impaired, Great Scott Tree Service Inc. will administer appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including termination. The Company will require, but not limit, alcohol and drug testing for: ■ After accidents; ■ Annual physicals; ■ Reasonable suspicion; ■ Return to duty; ■ Random (where permitted by law); and • Follow-up (after a positive test). Employees testing positive for alcohol and/or drugs may be required to enroll in at least one of the following: ■ Employee Assistance Program (if available) ■ Education and/or training program; or ■ Rehabilitation program. The selection of an appropriate program and/or appropriate disciplinary action for the employee violating the alcohol and drug abuse policy is completely a discretionary decision of management, and the Company reserves the right to take disciplinary action up to and including immediate termination of employment. If an employee is required to enroll in a rehabilitation, education or assistance program, continued employment is conditioned upon the following requirements: 1. The employee must present written certification from qualified personnel or representatives of the program that he/she has successfully completed the appropriate rehabilitation program.

These are temporary injuries. More important, strains and sprains usually precede more serious, chronic and debilitating injuries to the ligaments, discs and vertebrae. In a sense, soft tissue injuries are warning signals that more serious, permanent injury could occur. Therefore your back injury prevention program should focus on preventing strains and sprains. Preventive measures Arborists can help keep their backs healthy with stretching and exercise, by knowing how the back works, and by using simple lifting techniques. large objects irregularly-shaped (awkward) objects over the shoulder Twisting ... while feeding brush into a chipper while positioning in a bucket or a tree while dragging brush, reaching, using long poles from sudden slips due to poor ground conditions on slippery equipment in snow or rain Jumping ... off truck bed or out of truck cab overfences off ladders out of trees Pulling ... ropes hangers Here are attainable objectives for your company's back injury prevention program: ❑ Provide continuous training for all employees to raise their awareness of how the back can be injured. ❑ Develop action steps employees can use to detect and eliminate conditions likely to cause back injury — see this policy's sections on hazard reporting, the safety committee, job hazard assessment and job briefings. ❑ Motivate employees to take responsibility for back safety at work and at home. =M%= Before lifting any weight, workers should: (a) Be sure that a clear travel path is available if the weight is to be carried from one place to another; (b) decide exactly how the object should be grasped to avoid sharp edges, slivers, splinters, or other things that might cause injury; Page 24 of 49 Page 85 APPENDICE 2: IIPP 2017 GSTS IIPP 3-2317 Rev Final Great Scott Tree Service Inc. 8/18/2015 IIPP Safety Manual (c) make a preliminary lift to be sure the load can be safely handled; (d) place feet solidly on the walking surface; (e) crouch as close to the load as possible with legs bent at an angle of about 90 degrees; (f) lift with the legs, not the back, keeping the weight as close to the body as possible; and (h) use additional workers or materials -handling equipment when necessary. Stretching and Exercises Program The professional athlete must maintain a high level of production and effort to win. The same is true for an arborist, an "industrial athlete" who must perform at peak efficiency. Strains of the lower back muscles, the most common back injury, usually occur because the muscles are cold and tight. If the athlete warms up and stretches to avoid injury, then why not the tree worker? Great Scott Tree Service Inc. will provide you with information on simple, quick warm- up/stretches that you can perform prior to heavy exertion. Warm up and stretch exercises before beginning work are mandatory. Page 25 of 49 Page 86 APPENDICE 2: IIPP 2017 GSTS IIPP 3-23-17 Rev Final Great Scott Tree Service Inc. 8/18/2015 IIPP Safety Manual Sit"pecific Fall Protection Plan This Fall Protection Plan addresses specific activities that require "non -conventional" means of fall protection. As trained and qualified arborists, we will use fall protection systems that are at least equivalent to construction trade systems in terms of worker protection. Our fall protection equipment and measures are fully explained in ANSI Z133 — American National Standard for Arboricultural Operations — Safety Requirements. These areas/systems include: Climbing operations — Arborist ropes, work -positioning harnesses, and climbing equipment shall be approved by the manufacturer for use within the tree care industry. While working aloft, the climber shall have available a climbing line and at least one other means of being secured on their person at all times. (Example: an arborist climbing line and a work positioning lanyard.) Two means of being secured shall be used when the arborist determines that it is advantageous. The arborist shall be secured at all times while ascending the tree, including when using climbing spurs/gaffs. The arborist shall be tied in once the work begins and shall remain tied in until the work is completed and he or she has returned to the ground. The arborist shall be secured when repositioning the climbing line. Aerial lift operations —Aerial devices shall be provided with fall protection anchor(s) meeting design requirements of the ANSI/SIA A92.2 Standard on which to secure an approved system of personal fall protection (Example: full body harness with an energy -absorbing lanyard or a body - belt and lanyard), which shall be worn by the operator(s) whenever aloft. When transferring from the bucket of an aerial device to a tree, arborists shall remain secured to the aerial device until they are properly secured to the tree. At no time shall work be performed while secured to both aerial device and tree. Arborists shall remain properly secured at all times when transferring from the bucket of an inoperative aerial device to facilitate an emergency descent. Work performed from a ladder — While ascending a ladder to gain access to a tree, the arborist shall not work from or leave the ladder until he or she is tied in or secured with approved climbing equipment. The ladder should be properly secured by mechanical means or supported by a helper. Hoisting with a crane — A qualified arborist may be hoisted into position utilizing a crane if he/she is tied in with an arborist climbing line and arborist harness and secured to an anchor point on or above the crane hook or to the crane boom. The arborist shall use a second point of attachment to the crane while being hoisted into position in the tree. Other work at height — Workers shall not perform arboricultural operations work, such as pruning or cutting of trees, from the top of vehicle bodies or cab protectors unless the worker is properly protected from the fall hazard. This plan is designed to enable employers and employees to recognize the fall hazards on this job and to establish the procedures that are to be followed in order to prevent falls to lower levels or through holes and openings in walking/working surfaces. Each employee will be trained in these procedures and strictly adhere to them except when doing so would expose the employee to a greater hazard. If, in the employee's opinion, a greater hazard is created, the employee is to notify the Crew Leader of the concern and the concern shall be addressed before proceeding. Safety policy and procedure on any one project cannot be administered, implemented, monitored and enforced by any one individual. The total objective of a safe, accident -free work environment can only be accomplished by a dedicated, concerted effort by every individual involved with the project from management down to the last employee. Each employee must understand his or her value to the company; the costs of accidents, both monetary, physical, and emotional; the objective Page 26 of 49 Page 87 APPENDICE 2: IIPP 2017 GSTS IIPP 3-23-17 Rev Final Great Scott Tree Service Inc. 8/18/2015 IIPP Safety Manual APPENDICE 2: IIPP 2017 GSTS IIPP 3-23-17 Rev Final Great Scott Tree Service Inc. 811812015 IIPP Safety Manual Page 28 of 49 Page 89 APPENDICE 2: IIPP 2017 GSTS IIPP 3-23-17 Rev Final Great Scott Tree Service Inc. 8/18/2015 IIPP Safety Manual Page 29 of 49 Page 90 APPENDICE 2: IIPP 2017 GSTS IIPP 3-23-17 Rev Final Great Scott Tree Service Inc. 8118/2015 IIPP Safety Manual Page 30 of 49 Page 91 APPENDICE 2: IIPP 2017 GSTS IIPP 323-17 Rev Final Great Scott Tree Service Inc. 8/18/2015 IIPP Safety Manual Disciplinary Procedures Employees who fail to comply with safety rules will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination upon the first infraction, at management's sole discretion. Supervisors will ordinarily follow these disciplinary procedures: First Infraction — verbal counseling (warning), documented in the employee's personnel file. Second infraction — written warning outlining the nature of the offense and necessary corrective action, documented in the employee's personnel file Third infraction — suspension without pay for one (1) to three (3) working days depending on the severity of the infraction, documented in the employee's personnel file Fourth infraction — termination; if an employee is to be terminated, specific and documented communication between the supervisor and the employee must occur. Supervisors will be subject to disciplinary action for the following reasons: • Repeated safety rule violation by their department employees. • Failure to provide adequate training prior to job assignment. • Failure to report accidents and provide medical attention to employees injured at work. • Failure to control unsafe conditions or work practices. • Failure to maintain good housekeeping standards and cleanliness in their departments. Supervisors who fail to maintain high standards of safety within their departments will be demoted or terminated after three documented warnings have been levied during any calendar year. Record Keeping Records that document implementation of the IIPP shall be maintained in the Human Resource Department with copies of such records in the Safety Department. The following records will be maintained for at least the period indicated: ❑ The written IPP................................................................Indefinitely ❑ Inspection Forms..................................................................3 years ❑ Incident Investigation........................................................3 years ❑ Employee Training Sign -in Sheet........................................3 years Records relating to employee communication and enforcement: ❑ Safety Meeting Sign -In Sheets.............................................3 years ❑ Employee Suggestion/Question and Responses ........................3 years ❑ Disciplinary notices (including verbal) ................................... 5 years (personal file) All other safety records other than those subject to the access standard years: ❑ Cal/OSHA 300 and 300A forms...............................................5 years Page 31 of 49 Page 92 APPENDICE 2: IIPP 2017 GSTS IIPP 3-23-17 Rev Final Great Scott Tree Service Inc. 811 812 01 5 IIPP Safety Manual Workers Compensation The Human Resources Manager will take the following action with respect to Workers' Compensation: 1.

The two functions of TTC are to provide for the safe and effective movement of road users around our work zone and to provide for the safety of the workers in our work zone. Tree care crews may need to: ❑ Assign a crewmember who is knowledgeable in traffic control principles overall responsibility for the safety of the work zone setup. ❑ Crews exposed to traffic need to use PPE during traffic control devices set up and while executing work. ❑ Set up temporary traffic control within a reasonable time prior to work so that motorists do not become complacent and ignore warning signs and devices when work begins. ❑ Ensure that the work zone is set up in accordance with the Part 6 of the most recent edition of the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, or MUTCD. ❑ Use temporary traffic control devices, such as signage, road cones, paddles or flags in a consistent manner throughout the work zone. ❑ Ensure that all traffic control devices are in place. Missing traffic control devices create the potential for motorists to inadvertently enter the workspace or exit the highway in the wrong place. ❑ Use a flagger or flaggers when conditions warrant. ❑ Authorize the designated crewmember to temporarily halt work until unsafe conditions related to temporary traffic control have been eliminated. ❑ Document work zone setup and changes throughout the course of a project. Retain these records in a "job file" as a reference for future jobs. Use of temporary traffic control devices Most temporary traffic control zones are divided into four areas: the advance warning area, the transition area, the activity area and the termination area: Advance warning area — section of road where drivers are warned about the upcoming work zone. Warning has to be far enough in advance of the work to give drivers time to react, yet not so far that it encourages drivers to ignore the warning or react sluggishly. On urban streets, the first warning sign should placed 4-8 times the speed limit (mph) in feet before the activity area, using the high end of the range when the speed limits are relatively high. On rural highways, it should be 8-12 times the speed limit in advance. EXAMPLE: On a 25 mph street, warning sign should be at least 25 X 5 = 125 ft. before the activity area. On a 45 mph street, the sign might be 45 X 8 = 360 ft. "upstream." Warning sign size is based on speed limits: • On secondary roads or city streets where speeds are very low, minimum 36 -inch signs are acceptable. • Where speeds and volumes are moderately low, 36 -inch signs may be used, 48 -inch are recommended • For high speed/volume roads, 48 -inch signs are needed. When your work obstructs any part of the roadway, advance - warning signs are required in both traffic directions on a two-way road. Multiple signs may be needed on high-speed roads or where visibility is obstructed by something like a bend or hump in the road. Page 39 of 49 Page 100 APPENDICE 2: IIPP 2017 GSTS IIPP 3-23-17 Rev Final Great Scott Tree Service Inc. 8/1 812 01 5 IIPP Safety Manual Transition area — the section of road where traffic is redirected out of its normal path. The transition area makes use of a "taper," created with cones. A good rule of thumb is to space cones the same number of feet apart as the speed limit. For daytime work and low speed (40 mph and under) roads, 18 -inch cones are acceptable. For nighttime and/or higher speed roads, 28 -inch cones are required. Taper length is important. Table 1 below gives rule -of -thumb taper lengths, based on the width of the work zone (W), in feet. Table 1: Traffic Taper Length, based on Width of Offset (W) Type of taper Seed limit (mph) 15 25 135 140 145 155 165 merging 4W 10W 20W 27W 45W 55W 165W Shifting 2W 5W 10W 13W 123W 128W 133W shoulder 1W 3W 17W 19W 115W 118W 121W one -lane, two- wa 100 ft. maximum, flaggers required downstream 100 ft. per lane For example, if you are working on a 35 mph street and your work zone projects into a traffic lane 5 feet, your taper should be 10 X 5 = 50 feet. Activity area — this is the section where the work actually takes place. It should include a buffer space, sort of an extension of the work area in the direction of oncoming traffic (longitudinally) or extending past the side of the work vehicle (laterally), but free of equipment, vehicles and material. Termination area — is used to return vehicles to their normal path downstream of the work. In rural areas, there are generally higher speed limits, less turning traffic, lower volumes of traffic and fewer pedestrians. Urban areas are usually just the opposite. Your crew must evaluate the location, decide which controls are to be used, and see that a plan is followed. Your goals are to create a safe and efficient work site for your crew and passersby, to hinder traffic as little as possible and to guide vehicles and pedestrians in a clear and positive manner. Action steps for work site set-up: ❑ keep equipment and material neat and orderly within Orange Flag (optional) 0.3m (1 ft) IMIN. Typical warning sign the protected area ❑ use the truck's four-way flashers and beacon light, if so equipped, while you're setting up the signs and cones ❑ always chock trucks or detached chippers with at least two chocks ❑ be especially careful whenever children are in the vicinity ❑ never venture outside the established work area in the roadway ❑ keep walkways as clear of debris as possible Page 40 of 49 Page 101 2017 GSTS IIPP 3-23-17 Rev Final ❑ do not allow any non -company vehicle to park so that it obscures visibility of your work site Flaggers When your work operation requires traffic from both directions to use a single lane for a limited distance, then a flagger or flaggers are required. Tree care crews may need to: ❑ Train all flaggers consistent with their level of responsibility and work zone conditions. Flaggers should know the traffic flow, the work zone setup, and proper placement of channelizing devices. ❑ Assign each flagger responsibility for monitoring operations in his or her immediate work area. Authorize flaggers to recommend to the traffic control APPENDICE 2: IIPP Great Scott Tree Service Inc. 8118/2015 IIPP Safety Manual Proper Flagger Techniques & Equipment PREFERRED METHOD STOP/SLOW Paddle STOP s Q EMERGENCY SITUATIONS ONLY 900 mm (36 in) 600 mm (24 in) 600 mm (24 in) supervisor that operations be temporarily halted and the hazard corrected when they see a hazard threatening the safe movement of traffic through the work zone. Authorize flaggers to halt operations in the event a hazard arises and the traffic control supervisor is not in the immediate area. ❑ Train flaggers to maintain sufficient distance from other workers so that passing motorists can identify them. ❑ In the event multiple flaggers are required, ensure they have the appropriate sight distance or two-way radios to communicate effectively. ❑ Use alternatives to flaggers when traffic control is required under hazardous conditions such as high traffic speeds, inclement weather, night work, and other conditions that limit visibility. When a one -lane, two-way traffic control zone is short enough to allow a flagger to see from one end of the zone to the other, traffic may be controlled by either a single flagger or a flagger at either end of the section. When a single flagger is used, he/she should be positioned on the road shoulder opposite the work zone. Page 41 of 49 Page 102 APPENDICE 2: IIPP 2017 csTs IIPP 3-23-17 Rev Final Great Scott Tree Service Inc. 8/1 812 01 5 IIPP Safety Manual When visibility is restricted or a single flagger cannot control traffic, then flaggers are needed at either end of the traffic control zone. The flaggers have to coordinate their actions through visual, voice or electronic communication. The flagger(s) need to positioned somewhere in advance of the activity area per Table 2 on the next page. High -visibility apparel Tree care crews may need to: ❑ Require all workers on or near traffic to wear high -visibility clothing or apparel. Class 2 safety vests. ❑ Inspect high -visibility clothing regularly to ensure that color has not faded and that reflective properties have not been lost. ❑ Consider seasonal variations in landscape and foliage when choosing colors for worker apparel so that workers do not blend into the background. ❑ Consider using fluorescent garments with reflective material when working under poor lighting conditions. Developing traffic control plans Once you fully understand the principles of traffic control, you should be able to apply them to any work situation on or near a road and be able to come up with a plan for controlling traffic. But planning doesn't end there — you also need to consider the safe and efficient layout of vehicles, equipment, materials and personnel inside the cones. The "temporary traffic control plan" (TTCP) and "internal traffic control plan (ITCP) are tools that supervisors and crews can use to coordinate the flow of vehicles outside of, or work vehicles, equipment and workers inside of the activity area, respectively. They are formal -sounding names, but in reality they are simply an extension of the work planningfjob briefing process to help ensure the safety of workers in or near traffic. Tree care crews may need to: ❑ Develop an ITCP once the TTCP has been established. As the ITCP is developed, consider how the workspace fits within the overall work zone and make sure that the ITCP is placed in the context of a TTCP. ❑ Furnish schematic drawings depicting cone/sign placement as well as the movement of workers and the placement/movement of equipment and vehicles, brush piles, etc. within the workspace. ❑ Train workers in the implementation of the TTCP and ITCP for each project. ❑ Assign one person the overall responsibility of TTCP/ITCP coordination for each job site. By being at the job site, the coordinator is able to respond immediately to hazardous situations. The employer should authorize the coordinator to change and/or halt operations as needed to ensure worker safety. ❑ Retain schematic drawings and other documents in the "job file" for use in developing future plans.

Supervisory personnel will be primarily responsible for making an investigation of all accidents in their area. Accidents involving fire, death, serious injury, or extensive property damage will be investigated jointly by the supervisor and upper management. The primary goal of the accident investigation program is the prevention of future accidents through the use of knowledge derived from the investigation. Additionally, the investigation will be used to prepare reports required by Federal and State law as well as the Workers' Compensation insurance carrier. These reports are critical in establishing the company's and the supervisor's liability under the law. When an employee is injured at work, the supervisor is responsible for taking emergency action to have first aid administered, to obtain professional medical attention as soon as possible, and to protect other employees and equipment. The supervisor must then begin to investigate the circumstances of the accident. The following procedures have been found to be effective when investigating accidents. ❑ GO to the scene of the accident at once. ❑ SECURE the area to prevent others from getting injured and for collecting evidence ❑ TALK with the injured person if possible and when appropriate. Talk to witnesses. Stress getting the facts — not placing blame or responsibility. Ask open-ended questions. ❑ LISTEN for clues in the conversations around you. Unsolicited comments often have merit. ❑ ENCOURAGE people to give their ideas for preventing a similar accident. ❑ STUDY possible causes — unsafe conditions, unsafe practices. ❑ CONFER with interested persons about possible solutions. ❑ WRITE your accident report giving a complete, accurate account of the accident. ❑ FOLLOW UP to make sure conditions are corrected. If they cannot be corrected immediately, report this to your supervisor. ❑ PUBLICIZE corrective action taken so that all may benefit from the experience. Vehicle Accidents — What to Do Make sure your vehicle has a fully stocked accident kit. The kit should contain: ❑ Current vehicle registration ❑ Current proof of vehicle insurance ❑ Several business cards from the owner or manager ❑ Pen and/or pencil ❑ Accident reporting form for your office and insurance company (available through your insurance carrier or agent) ❑ Trailer registration if applicable ❑ Several witness cards Attend to all injured victims. Assess the situation and attend to the most seriously injured first Do not move any victim unless there is danger from other vehicles in traffic or danger of fire or explosion. Do not move the vehicles. The police need to see the accident prior to moving any vehicle(s). Protect the scene of the accident by placing flares, flags, or reflectors where they can be seen by approaching traffic. Physically direct traffic around the accident scene if necessary — do not expose yourself to danger in traffic; wear your traffic safety vest.

Golden West Arbor Services, Inc. 1568 E. Grand Ave Pomona CA 91766 vi. Equipment Our crews are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment to optimize efficiency and better serve our customers' needs. All our vehicles and equipment are in good condition and free of graffiti. Pruning and cutting tools are sharpened to leave a smooth, healthy cut on plants and small shrubs in which they are used on. All vehicles and equipment are fueled and serviced at our work yard. We have a fleet of over 30 vehicles including boom trucks, aerial device trucks, utility trucks, pick-up trucks, box vans, 1 -ton stake bed trucks, and dump trucks, etc. We have several size chainsaws, hedge trimmers, weed eaters, blowers, hand tools such as brush chippers, shovels, rakes, brooms, loppers, leaf collectors that are available. As crews are assigned and dispatched to their jobsites, they will be issued a work truck with the appropriate equipment. When necessary, trucks may attach a trailer with equipment. Equipment issued is dependent on the jobsite necessity which can include but is not limited to chainsaw's, hedge trimmer(s), pole pruner(s), weed eater(s), pole saw(s), blower(s), rake(s), shovel(s), miscellaneous hand tools, and miscellaneous PPE. If any equipment utilized on this contract is damaged or wom, replacements will be issued. A sample list of some vehicles and equipment we have for a project consists of but are not limited to: Peterbuilt Roll Off Chevy Truck GMC Box truck Dodge 5500 Bucket Truck Freightliner M2106 Bucket Truck Chevy 2500 Roll Off Bin Vermeer SC802 Stump Cutter Vermeer BC1800XL Brush Chipper Vermeer BC1000XL Brush Chipper Vermeer BC1500XL Brush Chipper Chainsaws Personal Protective Equipment Traffic Control Devices Miscellaneous Handheld tools vii. Information Management a. Proposed Software Program Golden West Arbor Services, Inc. currently uses ArborPro software. We utilize our ArborPro software for various projects. ArborPro is a GIS (Geographic Information System) and is able to integrate various cities, municipalities or counties tree inventory data. Tree inventory data is stored, retrieved, updated, deleted etc. in our ArborPro application. ArborPro's application can clearly identify the physical locations of all the inventoried trees for this project with listing site information, address, location etc. b. Our ability to provide date for the City's GIS System. Golden West Arbor Services, Inc., will review any GPS coordinates provided by the city and we will match the tree asset info to the City's tree inventory. If our crews find any trees on cities Page 16 Golden West Arbor Services, Inc. 1568 E. Grand Ave Pomona CA 91766 maintained right of ways that are not on the existing tree inventory we will notify the City representative. We will collect all the necessary GPS coordinates for the newly located tree and use a different marker identifier in the GIS layer than the markers previously used on existing trees. Any tree updates for the tree asset info will include the name and title of the person getting the information, the date of the update, the street name and address number, the location of the tree, the tree species, and we will note any hardscape damage, if any, with a photo. We will also report on any overhead conductors or utilities that could possibly conflict with future tree services with the specific tree. Our crews will notate the growing area of the tree such as lawn, median, concrete cut out etc. and notate any damage to the tree. The assessor will also provide the recommended trim type or removal recommendations and will note if a replanting of the specific tree location can occur. Golden West Arbor Services, Inc. is aware that a single tree may be assessed multiple times with various quantities of notes before every tree operation and after the tree operation. viii. Quality Control Plan a. Golden West Arbor Services, Inc. will make tremendous efforts to further extend our green practices for environmental and energy conservation benefits for this RFP. Whenever possible, our company purchases and uses environmentally friendly and human -friendly products. Our office staff uses recycled paper and prints on both sides of the paper for intemal uses to reduce our eco footprint. Some of our jobs that inquire on plant/trees installations are always recommended to native plants and slow-growing species and Evergreen's as they require the use of less water and require less maintenance. By implementing those types of plants/trees, it also reduces the production of plant/tree debris. Drought resistant plants and strategically placed trees in landscape along with eco -friendly mulch saves water and energy. Green waste from our job operations is always taken to an approved facility where it may be recycled to be reused as raw material. Whenever we replace a plant, plastic pots are recycled in another effort to reduce our eco footprint. Whenever we plant new trees, we repurpose the boxes they come in and this includes repurposing the tree stakes/tree ties when we remove them. All green waste from this project will be taken to a facility for proper processing and recycling. Processed and recycled green waste can be later reused for items such as mulch. Thank you. b. Golden West Arbor Services, Inc. will adhere to all contract specifications and once the proposed schedule for the tree work is approved by the City representative, door hangers will be left at the homes of the surrounding residents and businesses to notify them of the upcoming work at least 48 hours prior to any work being completed. Also, Golden West Arbor Services, Inc. will post City approved "No Parking" signs on individual trees scheduled for pruning 48 hours prior to the work being performed and the signs will be string tied to the proposed tree. c. Golden West Arbor Services, Inc. will assign at least one crewmember to monitor the job operations for safety. Safe work operations include making sure that the actual job operation is barricaded to protect the surrounding public and vehicles, making sure the correct traffic control devices and signs are being used during each operation. Any questions or concerns will be properly documented and will be addressed and resolved promptly for the least possible Page 17 Golden West Arbor Services, Inc. 1568 E. Grand Ave Pomona CA 91766 nuisance to the surrounding public Before any job operation begins, Golden West Arbor Services, Inc. will inspect the area for any lawn areas, parkways, or medians that need to be accessed by our trucks or equipment. If our staff finds that the jobsite will have permanent impressions of vehicle wheels, they will not drive over it, however, there may be some hard to access areas where any turf has to be driven on, a crew member will walk the entire route the truck and equipment has to drive through and mark all sprinkler heads in the path so they will not be damaged by the truck and equipment. Any broken sprinkler heads will be immediately repaired. Before any work is started, we will request a Dig Alert at least two days before beginning work for utility line locations. The PWR will mark the tree with a painted dot so each utility company can mark their utility lines. After all lines are marked, our company will proceed with any necessary work. If we locate an unmarked line, we will contact the utility company and Dig Alert referencing our ticket number for proper utility line notification. d. Golden West Arbor Services, Inc. will continuously clean up debris from the job operation in order to keep the jobsite safe and prevent hazards to the crew or public. Removal of large tree parts will be done in a controlled manner with proper roping techniques to minimize damage to the surrounding public or property and to prevent any injuries. If any damage occurs, it will be immediately reported to the City representative and documented and it will also be promptly repaired in no later than 48 hours. If any utility lines are damaged they will immediately be reported to the utility provider or owner for immediate repair and replacements. Any tree operation near utility lines will follow the necessary requirements. e. Golden West Arbor Services, Inc., conducted careful planning for this project. Our crew are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment that is properly maintained to optimize efficiency and better serve our customers' needs. Our qualified inspector and management personnel complete a thorough inspection of all the locations included in the contract before commencing any work. The utmost priority will be given to any locations that have potential safety risks for the surrounding public. Our management team reviews all specifications and requirements as set forth in the contract documents. During their inspection, management notes the current condition of the work site, the climate condition if applicable, and notes what needs to be done at the work site. The managers will inform the crew assigned the contract specifications, they will show the crew the boundary of the work site; explain what needs to be done, and the goal of the day. They will also advise them of any potential safety hazards at the work site. Our management team will make sure that traffic control and the worksite is in a safe condition while abiding by all laws. The foreman on site will monitor and guide the crew as the work is being done. Management personnel provide a walkthrough and inspections of the worksite on a daily basis to make sure everything is being done to the contract specifications, and all tree work is in accordance with I.S.A. guidelines. When a job is completed, the manager will inspect and make sure everything was completed at the site and make sure that no trash was left behind per the specifications. The qualified inspector will arrive at each site to inspect it and verify the customer Page 18 Golden West Arbor Services, Inc. 1568 E. Grand Ave Pomona CA 91766 has received the highest professional service available. Golden West Arbor Services, Inc. will complete all tree work in accordance to any all City specifications and requests by the City representative. All areas will be surveyed prior to the beginning of the operation. Our certified arborist on staff will review each tree species and determine the effect and response of trimming specific species on the work order. There will be no severe cutting back or topping of trees. No more than 35% of healthy wood will be removed from the crown of any tree with the exceptions of Live Oaks that cannot be more than 10% healthy wood removed. All trees with 6 inches or less in diameter will be pruned with hand tools only. After the trimming operations, all lawn areas, parkways, streets and sidewalks will be raked or blown; our crews will clean all cut and broken brush, branches and debris from the jobsite for proper disposal. Upon completion, all jobsites will be left in an equal to or better condition than which existed prior to the operation starting. Golden West Arbor Services, Inc., will adhere to the following types of pruning/trimming: -crown thinning is the removal/pruning of select branches in a tree to allow air movement through the crown. -crown cleaning is the removal of dead, unhealthy branches that are weak -crown raising is the removal/pruning of the lower branches of a tree to provide clearance for the surrounding items such as buildings and automobiles. -trimming of palm trees is the removal/pruning of dead fronds and all fruit stalks and fruits. ix. Employee Training & Safety Plan a. Our company conducts weekly safety tailgate meetings for various topics of the tree and maintenance services our company provides. Our operations manager implemented and monitored the following program: Complete pre -work inspections and discussions Ensure employees are trained in the safe and proper use of appropriate tools and equipment. Ensure employees are provided with the appropriate tools and equipment. At each job site where tree trimming services or removals are done, they will be done under the direction of a qualified tree worker. A job discussion will take place before each job operation is started to include: The description of the hazards that are at his job operation The appropriate work procedures to be followed The appropriate personal protective equipment needed All equipment will only be operated by qualified people at the job site and there will be daily inspections of all equipment and safety devices used during the job operation. All employees assigned will be trained and instructed in areas that include but are not limited to: -hazards involved in their job assignments Page 19 Golden West Arbor Services, Inc. 1568 E. Grand Ave Pomona CA 91766 -proper and safe use of all equipment including safety equipment and personal protective equipment -the identification of and preventive measures related to common poisonous plants and harmful animals - the recognition and avoidance of electrical hazards if any are applicable to employees' job operations near energized power lines or conductors All employees' training will be documented. There will be as needed refresher training or additional training for any employee needing to be reminded of the items if the operations manager or qualified tree worker witness any violation of the requirements of our program. b. Golden West Arbor Services, Inc. has adopted an Injury and Illness Prevention Program to establish the minimum safety orders for securing safety in the workplace. Compliance with these orders may not in itself prevent occupational injuries or diseases, but will provide a safe environment, which is a fundamental prerequisite in controlling injuries and illness.

Our professionally trained landscape and tree industry experts have developed a proactive approach to keep landscapes trees and shrubs beautiful and healthy all year long, enabling us to provide the highest quality of professional landscape maintenance available. We have developed a quality assurance program which ensures a high level of service to all our customers. Our program includes inspections before the work begins, during the contract and after the work is complete. When the contract is awarded to our company, we will request the information that was documented by the previous contractor in the GIS system and also request for any previous records of tree services completed by the previous contractors from the City. Our company will then review the records and schedule the services accordingly after inquiring with the City representative on any priority items. Golden West Arbor Services, Inc. will update our GIS ArborPro system accordingly following the methods of previous contractors for this project in previous terms and instructions received by the City representatives. The Operations Manager will monitor each site, before, during and after completion, to oversee all work and provide additional inspections to make sure our Quality Assurance Program is being followed. If the inspector comes across any issue at a job site, he will immediately call a meeting with the foreman and address the problem. He will provide a plan of action that must be followed in resolving the issue. The foreman must in turn discuss it with the crew and resolve the issue in a timely fashion. The Operations Manager will provide a follow-up inspection at the work site and make sure the corrective action was implemented and caused the least possible disturbance to the customer. Our goal is to prevent deficiencies so all of management, foreman's and crew members will be advised of any issues that arise so that they will not be repeated. The above-mentioned methods will allow our company the successful completion of the City of Rosemead's 3 year grid pruning cycle, inspection program and records keeping, thank you. A.

The following contingency protocols are in place to ensure continuity of service and protect the City of Rosemead's investment in public landscaping: 1. Weather Interruptions • Rain Days: Services will be rescheduled within 48-72 hours, weather permitting. Priority will be given to sites with high pedestrian traffic or visibility. • Excessive Heat or Wind: Crews will modify hours to earlier start times or suspend operations if unsafe. Irrigation will be adjusted accordingly to prevent plant stress. 2. Equipment or Vehicle Failure • Greenfield maintains an in-house fleet of mechanics and spare commercial -grade equipment to prevent extended downtime. • If a primary vehicle or tool becomes inoperable, a backup will be dispatched the same day. • Critical tasks (e.g., mowing or irrigation response) will be re-routed to neighboring crews if needed. 3. Labor Shortages or Call -Offs • A rotating on-call crew member list ensures minimum daily staffing levels. • Cross -trained personnel can fill in across multiple service types (mowing, irrigation, pruning, etc.). • For larger absences, Greenfield maintains a roster of pre -qualified seasonal laborers that can be deployed within 24 hours. 4. Emergencies & Safety Hazards • Greenfield will respond to emergency work orders (e.g., fallen trees, irrigation blowouts, or trip hazards) within 30 minutes of notification. • A field supervisor is always on-call for after-hours and weekend response. • Safety barricades, signage, and immediate containment procedures are part of standard field kits. 5. Communication & Documentation • All disruptions, rescheduling, or service changes are documented in Arborgold with timestamps, reasons, and photos if applicable. • City staff will receive same-day email updates and/or phone notifications in the event of any substantial deviation from the approved schedule. 6. Scope Changes or Area Additions • Greenfield can absorb additional square footage or new parkway areas within 5-7 business days. • Pricing for "Additions to the System' is pre -approved and scalable. • Any new areas will be evaluated for irrigation needs, labor demands, and safety considerations before integration into the master schedule. 7. Missed Services • In the rare event a service is missed due to unavoidable conditions, it will be completed within the same workweek or as soon as conditions allow. • The service will be logged as a "make-up" visit and verified through field reporting and supervisor sign -off. PROJECT PROPOSAL OPERATIONAL APPROACH Greenfield takes a proactive, systematic approach to delivering high-quality tree maintenance services in accordance with the City's standards and expectations. Our operations will be guided by a detailed work plan developed in collaboration with the City at the outset of the contract, aligning with the annual pruning grid, planting schedules, and priority service requests. Our crews will be strategically deployed based on a GIS -integrated inventory system, ensuring efficient routing, real-time data capture, and timely updates on completed work. All field activities—including pruning, removals, planting, and emergency response—will be managed by experienced supervisors and supported by ISA Certified Arborists to ensure compliance with ANSI A300 standards and ISA Best Management Practices. Public safety and communication are integral to our operations. We will provide timely public notifications, implement appropriate traffic control per CAM UTCD standards, and coordinate closely with City staff to minimize disruption to residents and businesses. Our teams will be uniformed, professional, and equipped with modern, well-maintained tools and equipment to carry out work safely and effectively.

We recognize the critical role that Geographic Information System (GIS) tree inventory management plays in effective urban forestry operations. Data Migration: We will begin the transition by securely acquiring the current tree inventory data from West Coast Arborists.

System Optimization: Our technology allows for real-time data updates, customized reporting features, and enhanced visualization tools to support decision-making and long-term planning. Strategic Meetings: Concurrently, we will schedule alignment meetings between Mariposa's leadership and City of Rosemead representatives. These meetings will focus on: Understanding the city's short- and long-term urban forestry goals Reviewing scheduling priorities and existing service levels Analyzing historical trimming practices and future expectations This collaborative foundation ensures that our efforts are aligned with Rosemead's vision for a healthier and safer urban forest. Phase 2: Operational Mobilization & Trimming Deployment With strategic alignment and system integration underway, Mariposa Tree Management will initiate on -the -ground operations to maintain continuity of service and uphold Rosemead's tree care standards. As soon as July 1st 2025 we will be ready to begin grid pruning operations with staff and crew structure as outlined below. We anticipate initial grid pruning operations to take 2 to 3 months for completion. All other as needed tasks including a less than 1 hour response time for emergency work will be scheduled as need arises. Expert Teams & Equipment: We will dispatch a highly experienced field crew led by Jorge Garcia, a seasoned Foreman who holds a Certified Arborist License. Jorge brings years of leadership and hands-on urban forestry experience to the role, ensuring both efficiency and adherence to best practices. The crew will also include a Certified Tree Worker, ensuring all on-site tasks are executed with the highest level of technical skill and safety awareness.

Lastly, we regularly prune temporary branches to maintain health and reduce competition for nutrients and water. ffl MARIPOSA TREE MANAGEMENT Pruning Services After years of urban forest management for clients around Southern California, Mariposa has in-depth pruning experience and knows how to match the right technique for the right tree. • Prune to Raise - Raise the canopies of trees for vehicular and pedestrian access. • Prune for Structure - Provide proper clearances for trees in their youth, in order to reduce hazards as they grow and age. This method is the most cost-effective means of pruning available. This method addresses trees with a strong central leader by reducing or removing co -dominant stems. • Prune to Clean - Remove dead, diseased, and hazardous branches from a tree's canopy. • Prune to Thin - Perform a cleaning and remove overcrowded branches. This method is used to provide light penetration and reduce wind resistance within the canopy.

Third Street, Burbank, CA 91502 Letter of Reference www.burbankca.gov Mariposa Tree Management (formerly Mariposa Landscapes) has successfully performed $2.2 million dollars of contracted tree pruning, removals & planting for the City of Burbank since 2016. Primarily Mariposa maintains our scheduled grid pruning work and high demand pruning or removal service requests. In addition to this annual work, they have favorably completed large scale tree removal and replacement projects throughout some of our main arterial and commercial areas. They facilitate, design, and handle their own traffic control, obtaining the necessary permits for lane closures and encroachment permits. Any residential complaints have been resolved promptly and professionally. The communication and relationship with their crews and City stafflinspectors has been excellent. Overall, Mariposa is responsive to the City of Burbank's needs and maintains a professional relationship throughout their staff. I would recommend Mariposa Tree Management for tree services for other jurisdictions.

Green WasteAA At North Star, we take our responsibility of properly handling green waste seriously. As part of our commitment to sustainability, we account for all green waste collected on a daily basis. Our team breaks down the material type, whether it's logs or chipped material, the grid or maintenance district, and the tons. We then transport this green waste to state -approved recycling facilities to ensure proper disposal. All of this information is meticulously recorded and inputted into our proprietary database, which serves as a reliable repository of all our work completed and green waste records. We understand the importance of transparency and make these records available to our clients upon request or in set intervals, allowing them to see the progress made and the impact of our work on the environment. �Y Planting We understand the importance of providing high-quality trees that are well-suited for urban environments. That's why we've established relationships with several trusted tree growers and nurseries to ensure we can source trees that meet our strict standards. Our experienced team carefully selects species known to thrive in urban settings, taking into account disease resistance, growth rate, and compatibility with local soil and climate conditions. Once selected, trees are transported to one of our satellite yards located in the neighboring Cty of EI Monte, where they receive proper watering and care to ensure their health and vitality prior to planting. All trees planted by North Star are backed by a one-year warranty, ensuring accountability and long-term success for the City's Urban Forest.

If the City has inventory and work history from prior years, we will store and import that information into our system, making it accessible to both the City and North Star. • Important and Detailed Information for Each Site Our system provides precise and current records of every tree being worked on in the City, complete with real-time updates. Each tree is assigned a unique ID, making it distinct within our system. This allows for the printing or exporting of tree sites, work orders, work history, and frequency reports, among other capabilities. By accessing the work history function, you'll have a comprehensive account of each tree's complete history, along with relevant recommendations.

Services include structural pruning, crown raising, and minor crown cleaning, all performed in accordance with the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Pruning Standards and Best Management Practices.

This service is offered at the Crew Rental rate, as mutually agreed upon by the City and Tiger Tree Services INC. Line Clearance Trees that interfere with or pose a risk of interfering with utility lines will be pruned to meet clearance requirements established by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). Pruning is conducted with the goal of maintaining the tree's health, symmetry, and directing growth away from utility infrastructure while preserving structural integrity. Young Tree Maintenance (Optional) Early maintenance is essential for developing strong, healthy, and well -structured trees.

Once completed, the excavation area will be backfilled with native soil, and all debris will be properly removed from the site. This service is billed at the agreed-upon hourly rate. Tree and Stump Removal Operations With a minimum of 48 hours' notice, Tiger Tree Services will notify Underground Service Alert (USA) to ensure all utility lines are accurately located prior to initiating any removal activities.

A comprehensive history of completed work reflects a proactive and responsible approach to urban forest management. To ensure the integrity of the tree inventory data, it is essential that all work requests are generated from the system prior to the commencement of any work. Failure to do so may compromise the accuracy of maintenance records.

Species Frequency Report The Species Frequency Report provides your Agency with critical insights into the composition of the urban forest, helping to identify the distribution and prevalence of tree species. This data is particularly valuable for assessing potential risks associated with insect infestations, disease outbreaks, and forecasting future maintenance costs. Additionally, the report allows for historical analysis of specific species performance within your Agency's jurisdiction, supporting more informed decision-making and long-term urban forestry planning.

In response to growing concerns about the environmental health of our communities, TTS has implemented a landfill diversion strategy that ensures all organic material collected during tree trimming operations is delivered to certified recycling facilities for repurposing. Under this initiative, all recyclable materials removed throughout the duration of the project will be processed into useful byproducts such as mulch, compost, and firewood. TTS will provide verification of all recycled quantities via ArborNote to support state -mandated landfill reduction goals. • Mulch: Coarsely ground branches and leaves are converted into mulch, which is recommended to be spread at a depth of six to twelve inches. While fresh mulch initially draws nitrogen from the soil surface helping suppress weed growth it ultimately returns nutrients as it decays, improving soil quality and promoting plant health. TTS regularly contributes mulch to large-scale native plant restoration projects in open space areas. • Compost: Finely ground branches, leaves, and other organic matter are processed with oxygen and moisture to accelerate decomposition. The resulting compost enhances soil by increasing nitrogen levels and water retention capacity, making it ideal for integration into the topsoil. While composting can be done at home, larger -scale composting is conducted at regional recycling centers in collaboration with TTS. • Firewood: Larger branches and logs are traditionally repurposed as firewood for residential heating. TTS transports these materials to our yard, where they are processed and chopped into usable firewood. Feedback Management Tiger Tree Services (TTS) actively collects and monitors feedback from customers and community members to recognize exceptional performance and promptly address any concerns. Feedback is documented and reviewed monthly by the management team to support continuous improvement and maintain high service standards. Customer Service Department As our crews frequently work in public spaces, we understand that our team members are often the first point of contact for residents. To support positive public interactions, TTS maintains a dedicated, full-time Customer Service Department. All Customer Service Representatives are thoroughly trained to respond to inquiries and address concerns from residents and bystanders in a professional, courteous, and efficient manner. �M�MA� ewfo RECYCLED WOOD PRODUCTS 877-476-9797 www.rwpmulch.com 32 TIGER TREE SERVICES INC In God we Trust Complaints & uamage Kesolutiot Property Damage Response Protocol In the event of any property damage, Tiger Tree Services follows a defined protocol to ensure timely and effective resolution.

Our evaluation will be done by I.S.A. Certified Arborists with over 25 years of experience in completing government contracts. Our recommended program will be based on the condition of the trees and the annual budget. Working with city/county staff and UPS staff we will create a tree maintenance plan that meets the requirements of the city/county and the community. UPS believes in developing a close working relationship with city/county staff while developing a Urban Forestry maintenance plan that meets the needs of the county and at the same time concentrates on targeting the removal of dangerous dead trees and split and broken limbs for safety reasons. CC. ABILITY TO RECOMMEND AND MEET PROJECT SCHEDUL M In order to meet project schedules UPS proposes to meet with City of Rosemead staff prior to starting the contract to develop a tree maintenance program together that meets the maintenance needs of the city. Our recommendations will be based on doing a complete tree evaluation throughout the city in order to determine the condition of the city's urban forest. Our survey will include locating any broken limbs throughout the city and any dead trees that could cause a potential liability to the city. Our survey and evaluation of the city's street and park trees will be a joint effort between our staff at UPS with input from city staff.

Our survey and recommendation will be completed by an I.S.A. Certified Arborists with over 25 years of experience in government contracts and will include target trimming of potentially dangerous trees throughout the city.

Our crew will also be supported with an additional crew, if necessary, of equal size that can be moved into the city on a twenty-four notice. Our ability to meet contract deadlines is based on successfully completing over $100,000,000 in city, county and state contracts during the past forty years for over 100 governmental agencies. Our comprehensive Survey is only done with the approval of the City of Rosemead and can target various areas of the city at an hourly rate. DD.

L4�1 I f�7 6EA Pruning Safety Planfing Plant Hearth Removal Reclamation /* •^ )\�f O f Technology Community Civic Partners Emergency Environment N`_'" West coast Aroodsts, Inc. Scope of Work Grid Tree Pruning Grid tree pruning is based on pruning in pre -designed districts, or grids on a set cycle and in its entirety. This includes pruning all trees (small, medium, and large-sized.) Pruning will include structural pruning, crown raising, and slight crown cleaning in accordance with the standards set forth by the International Society of Arboriculture Pruning Standards (Best Management Practices) and shall have no more than 15% of the live foliage removed at a given time. Special Request Tree Pruning Special Request Tree Pruning includes tree maintenance services on designated tree(s) as ordered by the City's Arborist or designee. This category of pruning may include structural pruning, crown raising, crown cleaning and/or pruning to restore the crown. Whichever work type is ordered by the City, pruning will be performed in accordance with the standards set forth by the International Society of Arboriculture Pruning Standards and the Best Management Practice, Tree Pruning Guidelines. Pruning to reduce the tree's crown (or Crown Reduction Pruning) may be performed when conditions within the crown of a hardwood tree are such that the overall canopy mass and excessive wood weight needs to be reduced. This type of prune is performed when the City's primary objective is to maintain or improve tree health and structure and will be charged at the Crew Rental rate as agreed upon by the City and WCA. Line Clearance Trees that interfere or have the possibility of interfering with utility lines will be trimmed in a manner to achieve the required clearances as specified and in accordance with the California Public Utilities Commission. It is our goal to protect the current health and condition of the tree and to maintain its symmetry and direct growth away from the utility lines. Young Tree Maintenance (Optional) Proper pruning and care during the early stages of the tree's life will save money in the future, and create a safer, more beautiful, healthy, easy -to -maintain tree. We believe that tree care that is performed early will affect its shape, strength and life span. Our specialized small tree care team consists of certified personnel trained to perform the following under the hourly rate: • Selective structural pruning • Removal of dead, interfering, split and/or broken limbs • Pre -conditioning the water retention basin built around the tree • Staking or re -staking • Adjusting tree ties • Adjusting trunk protectors • Weed abatement NNCA : . West Coast Arborists, Inc. Root Pruning We strongly recommend against any root pruning, however, should the city elect to proceed, we recommend that it be done no closer than 3 times the diameter of the trunk. Roots will be pruned to a depth of approximately 12 inches by cleanly slicing through the roots, so as not to tear or vibrate the root causing damage to the tree. The excavated area will be backfilled with native soil and debris will be hauled away. This is performed under the hourly rate. Tree and Stump Removal Operations With a minimum of 48 hours advanced notice, WCA will inform Underground Service Alert (USA) of the location of work for the purpose of identifying any and all utility lines. The removal process consists of lowering limbs delicately onto the ground to prevent any hardscape damage. Immediately following the removal, the stump will be ground down, if ordered to do so and with proper USA notification. Our standard stump grinder is the Vermeer SC802. This stump grinder is ideal for any size job and can be used to grade large stumps. We also use the Dosko SC69 stump grinders. These are intended to remove tree stumps and exposed root systems close to ground level. Tree removal and stump removal are to be charged separately in accordance with the contract. Tree Planting We can replace trees that have been removed and plant new trees in accordance with the City's specifications. We are prepared financially and logistically to acquire and purchase selected tree species for tree planting. At a minimum of 48 hours in advance we will inform Underground Service Alert (USA) of the location of work for the purpose of identifying any and all utility lines. A well-trained planting team will perform the soil preparation and installation of the tree. Tree Watering Tree watering will be performed by a full-time, WCA team member on various routes, when requested by the Agency. This team will also be responsible for reporting special care needs to the small tree care team. This could include reporting weeds, soil that has settled, and/or staking and tying needs. WCA currently provides tree watering in the cities of Culver City, Santa Clarita and Santa Monica as part of their regular tree maintenance services. Emergency Response We are prepared for emergency calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. The toll free number is 866 -LIMB -DOWN (866-546-2369). This number will be provided to the Agency, Police Department and/or Fire Department. Our emergency response team will do what is necessary to render the hazardous tree or tree -related condition safe until the following workday. N�i6* We"C�r,ift. Crew Rental Due to our vast amount of resources, including our specialty equipment and qualified personnel we are able to extend our commitment to our customers by providing various miscellaneous services outside of the most common tree maintenance services: • Misc. use of aerial towers and cranes (including equipment rental) • Crown reduction • Crown restoration Arborist Reports We have full-time Certified Arborists on staff that can prepare detailed arborist reports, tree evaluations and site inspections based on your specific needs. Reporting can be generated for one tree or an entire selection and is handled on a case-by-case basis. WCA provides the technology, management, and civic experience that makes it the preferred tree management partner across the West. Plant Health Care Tim Crothers, Plant Health Care Manager • ISA Board Certified Master Arborist WE -7655 BUM • DPR Qualified Pest Control Applicator #145321 • QAL Category B & D Our PHC program managed by Tim goes beyond standard chemical applications.

WCA is staffed with licensed applicators and advisors that are environmentally conscious as well as compliant with the California Department of Pesticide Regulation. This service allows us to provide you with: Proper diagnosis based on on-site inspection with laboratory testing when necessary Proactive and preventative recommendations that reduce the amount of potential pest and disease issues Follow-up evaluations to ensure that the recommended treatments result in a healthy and balanced urban forest Nib' Wast Coast Arborists, Inc. Implementation, Quality Control and Safety Implementation Plan To ensure the quality of work and the level of service expected, WCA abides by a well-defined quality control plan that incorporates the following: • Certified personnel • Safety • Pruning specifications and guidelines • Sound equipment • Public relations • Proper traffic control • State-of-the-art communication systems Special shifts including weekends and evenings can be arranged in accordance with the Agency's specifications. Area Manager: Gonzalo Regalado ISA Arborist Certification #: WE-9952AT TCIA CTSP #459653 ATSSA Traffic Control Technician #459653 The project Area Manager will be the central point of contact and will work cooperatively with Agency staff, local residents and business owners, etc. The Area Manger will provide overall field supervision and crew management. Daily Management Daily management will consist of, but not be limited to: • Email notification complete with location, crew, equipment type, and work description • Supervise crew personnel to insure proper pruning standards are followed in a safe manner • Traffic control setup and maintenance of work zone • Ensure work area is left free of debris at the end of shift • Maintain record of work completed each day • Maintain good public relations at all times • Provide immediate notification to Agency Inspector upon damage of personal property including a plan for corrective measures to take place within 48 hours Weekly Management • Weekly management will consist of, but is not limited to: • Weekly inspection of work completed • Meet with the Agency to review work schedule and progress • Insure standards of pruning are performed in accordance with Agency specifications • Maintain open communication Scheduling of Work The Area Manager is responsible for scheduling work which shall conform to the Agency's schedule of performance. We recommend equal distribution of work throughout the course of the fiscal year. Notifications will be provided to residents prior to the start of pruning operations in said area. All work Will be performed in a cooperative manner as to cause the least amount of interference or inconvenience. !NM Public Notification Upon Agency staff approval, WCA will post a door hanger notice prior to commencement of grid pruning (within 24-48 hours). After tree plantings, door hangers will be provided to residents instructing them on the proper care for their newly planted tree. For more comprehensive outreach we can also submit a press release for special projects or routine maintenance. The Agency may modify the procedures and materials to which we notify residents. Communication Systems Our use of modern and reliable communication systems affect our daily job performance by increasing our efficiency. Management and Field Personnel utilize smart phones as both navigational and communication devices in the field. Smart phones have proven to be a convenient method to input data as related to tree inventories, daily work records, timesheets, photos, and billing information; eliminating the need to handwrite data and improving customer service by minimizing response time. Permits and Licensing WCA will procure a City Business License as necessary, and any "no -fee" permits prior to commencement of work. Permits (i.e., encroachment, traffic control, etc.) requiring fees will be charged back to the Agency. Right -of -Way All work will be performed in the public right-of-way. Employees will not utilize private property for eating, breaks or any other reason or use water or electricity from such property without prior written permission of owner. Cooperation and Collateral Work WCA will give right to operate within the project to the Agency workers and/other contractors, utility companies, street sweepers, and others as needed in a cooperative effort to minimize interference in daily operations. Project Site Maintenance Work site will be left free of debris at the end of each workday. We will not discharge smoke, dust, or any other air containments in quantities that violate the regulations of any legally constituted authority.

Technology and Information Management Ap ArborAccess Our tree management program sets us apart from A R D 0 R" other companies. With nearly 2,000 active users, ArborAccess and our mobile app will help you easily manage your urban forest with ease and convenience. Tree site attributes include location Moo, (utilizing GPS coordinates), species type, and parkway size. Features allow you to view and edit work history records and create work orders directly ^..^tow from the field, all from our secure cloud. The information contained in ArborAccess is live ®data that can also be linked directly to a GIS aa� program, such as ArcView, for geo-coding purposes and can assist your Agency in meeting GASB34 requirements. ArborAccess provides an unlimited resource of information regarding your urban forest. Soffware Training Our IT Department is based out of our corporate office in Anaheim, CA with regional offices located throughout California and Arizona. Each office has the ability to provide software training to our customers. We are also available to provide training sessions on-site at the customer's discretion. On-site training is proven to be effective as it provides a guided hands-on experience. We offer periodic tree maintenance and management workshops each year. These free workshops are provided to our customers regionally and educate over 250 people annually. They have proven to be a great round -table and networking opportunity for the different agencies in attendance. Presentations are provided ® { by WCA management staff and complimented with guest speakers in the industry. wax«, 1 Certified Arborists and Tree Workers who attend are eligible to receive continuing education credits (CEU's) from the International Society of Arboriculture. The success of any urban forest program depends on the proper management of ^^ information. Unlimited telephone and/or email support is available to answer technical questions and aid staff in the use of the software system. Software training and support is included in the cost associated with the inventory data collection. List Tracking System The List Tracking Report in ArborAccess is a useful tool in the management of incoming work. This report allows both parties to track specific jobs as they are ordered by the Agency. Proper use of this system enables the Agency and WCA to track the completion of work that is ordered. es a modern invoicing system that is updated on a daily basis. Progress billings to the Customers on a bi-weekly basis, unless otherwise requested. Invoices will t complete for the billing period, along with a year-to-date total for that job. is Each billing will include a listing of completed work by address, tree species, work performed and appropriate data acceptable to the customer. This information will be supplied in hardcopy and immediately accessible on ArborAccess. Job balances reflecting the percent of completion for each job can be viewed on ArborAccess. Sample Management Tools: Detailed Tree Site Characteristics The advanced technology provides a valuable tool to urban forestry professionals by displaying specific tree site information along with a representative photograph of the species type and a recommended maintenance field. ArborAccess' built-in quality control features assist in data accuracy. As maintenance is performed, the work history is updated and accompanied with bi-weekly invoices. This process eliminates the need for dual - inputting and helps keep the tree inventory current and accurate. Maintenance Records Accurate maintenance records for each location oftentimes can assist the Agency with liability claims. Maintaining a detailed history of the work performed at each location demonstrates good faith in preserving its urban forest. It is imperative that work requests are pulled from the system prior to the work being performed, otherwise inventory accuracy is not guaranteed. �6 V1C46* ~ Coact Arbmbb, Inc. Sample: Species Frequency Report The Species Frequency report can assist your Agency in identifying the tree population within the urban forest. This type of information is valuable in the event of an insect infestation, deadly disease, or even estimating future maintenance costs.

Inc. Community Benefit Community Involvement West Coast Arborists, Inc. (WCA) has proudly served the City of Rosemead by providing comprehensive tree maintenance and management services since 2010. As a dedicated corporate partner, we have contributed our time, financial support, and resources to numerous City events and programs throughout our tenure. We have actively participated in each of the City's Arbor/Earth Day celebrations, often donating trees to commemorate the occasion. In 2011, we collaborated with then Public Works Superintendent John Scott and Public Works Director Chris Marcarello to help the City earn its Tree City USA designation through the Arbor Day Foundation and the USDA Forest Service. As part of this effort, WCA conducted a citywide tree inventory at no cost to the City—an effort valued at nearly $25,000. This inventory cataloged the City's tree assets and identified vacant planting sites for future greening initiatives. Since 2010, WCA has maintained the City's tree inventory data and work history—an ongoing service valued at $10,000 annually, totaling approximately $150,000 to date, all provided at no additional cost to the City. In alignment with the Tree City USA requirements, the City must host an annual Arbor Day observance, and WCA has proudly supported every event since 2012. Our community involvement extends beyond Arbor Day. We have participated in the State of the City events, at times sponsoring educational booths to raise public awareness about the benefits of trees. In 2011, WCA also provided training for City crews on the safe and proper operation of chainsaws to promote tree care safety. Additionally, we have contributed to the City's annual backpack giveaway program in recent years and donated handcrafted wooden products—such as benches, chairs, coat racks, picture frames, and end tables—crafted from recycled urban lumber through our Street Tree Revival program all at no cost to the City. These items have been placed in various locations across the City as part of our commitment to giving back to the community. Should WCA be selected for the upcoming tree maintenance contract, we will continue to support City events and initiatives with the same enthusiasm and dedication that have defined our partnership to date. Community Campaigns WCA has partnered with Invest From the Ground Up and the Western Chapter International Society of Arboriculture to plant trees across California under their newest initiative - Cool Parks. With a generous grant from CAL FIRE, the Cool Parks team is working alongside partner cities and nonprofits to bring 2500 trees to California's disadvantaged and low-income communities, organize a CA Tree Team workshop, and engage residents to learn and care about the trees in their city. Prior to the "Cool Parks" campaign, WCA participated in the CIRCLE (California Initiative to Reduce Carbon and Limit Emissions) campaign since its launch in October of 2016. Each round of tree planting events has provided thousands of trees to communities across California. The trees planted have the potential to sequester millions of pounds of CO2. 37 Setting the Gold Standard <� t NAvCAPr West Coast Arborists, Inc. These events are valuable to California communities by generating thousands of volunteers, improving air quality, and educating the local community about proper tree planting techniques. Together, we can grow the urban forest for a more sustainable future. Wildlife Protection We have a full-time Biologist, Lissette Rios, on staff whose responsibilities include writing reports, pre -work bird assessments, and training crews on current bird nesting laws as well as BMPs for tree maintenance. The protection of birds, especially during nesting season, is critical to providing responsible tree maintenance and her experience, training and skilled eye have proven to be a great asset to our team. Our safety and training department has committed to working with wildlife preservation associations and played a key role in the establishment of the Tree Care for Birds and Other Wildlife BMP that is used in the tree care industry. Green Waste WCA's commitment to be a socially responsible corporate partner to our customers and communities is exemplified in our Recycling Program. With the steadily increasing concern for the ecological health of our communities, WCA has embarked on a landfill diversion process where all material is taken to recycling facilities where it is used in the production of soil amendments. We are committed to taking all recyclable materials removed from the trees trimmed for the duration of this project to a recycling center for processing. Verification of amounts recycled will be obtained and reported by WCA via ArborAccess for the purpose of meeting the goals of the State for reducing landfill usage. MULCH is made from coarse ground branches and leaves. It should be spread on the ground at a rate of six to twelve inches for best effect. Fresh mulch will deplete nitrogen from the surface of the soil which will reduce unwanted weeds. Once the mulch has decayed, it returns nitrogen which helps build the quality of soil for plants. A large amount of tree debris is processed by WCA and used in large scale mulching projects for establishing native plants in open space areas. COMPOST is made from fine ground branches, leaves or other organic material. When mixed with oxygen and water, the organic material will decay or "compost." A finished compost is excellent for turning into the top layer of soil and will add nitrogen and increase the water holding capacity of soil. You can make compost at home in a pile in your yard or in a bin that you make or purchase. Large scale composting is done at regional recycling facilities. FIREWOOD is traditionally the most common use of large branches and logs. Firewood is used to heat homes during winter months. WCA takes logs to our yard, and these are then chopped into usable firewood. 38 Setting the Gold Standard Section 4 References Comprehensive free services in more than 350 communities.

We strive to place safety and health above all else and will involve all workers at every level in establishing, implementing, and evaluating our efforts. This written Injury & Illness Prevention Plan (IIPP) is intended to reduce the severity of job-related illnesses and injuries at this company. It is our intent to comply with the requirements of the state of California laws, Section 3203 of the General Industry Safety Orders and other relevant standards. MANAGEMENT COMMITMENT Our commitment to safety and health shows in every decision we make and every action we take, which is why we've established workplace objectives for injury and illness prevention. As a company, our safety goals are to prevent injuries, illnesses and accidents in the workplace. The primary purpose of the program is to insure the safety and health of West Coast Arborists, Inc. employees and provide a safe and healthful work environment. The following Injury & Illness Prevention Plan administrators coordinate the program elements for our company: The Safety & Training Manager is responsible for setting up and managing the program so that managers, supervisors, and employees know what the company expects. The Program Administrator is accountable for meeting these responsibilities when we conduct the yearly performance evaluations. He/She has the authority (delegated ability to take action) to carry out his/her duties in a timely manner so that progress is made in meeting program goals. He/She is provided with sufficient resources, information, and training to meet those responsibilities. The Management Team has examined our existing policies and practices to ensure that they encourage and do not discourage reporting and participation in our program. In this way, early reporting of injuries, illnesses, and hazards, as well as meaningful employee participation in the program are more likely to occur. The re- porting of injuries, illnesses, and hazards are especially important because the success of the program de- pends on such reporting. The Management Team reviews all incentive programs to ensure that they are designed to reward safe work practices, such as, active participation in the program, the identification of hazards in the workplace, and the reporting of the early signs and symptoms of illnesses, rather than to reward employees for having fewer inju- ries or illnesses. Managers and Supervisors are responsible for implementing and maintaining the Injury & Illness Prevention Plan in their work areas and for answering worker questions about the program. A copy of this program is available to each manager and supervisor. SAFETY COMMUNICATION In an effort to open the lines of communication between management and employees, we've established a system that allows a continuous flow of safety and health information that is readily understandable by all af- fected employees. The Safety & Training Manager communicates with employees weekly, monthly and quarterly about the pro- gram, so they have the information necessary to protect themselves from hazards and have effective input into the operation of the program. We realize that it is essential to keep our employees informed on matters relating to occupational safety and health while encouraging them to inform management of hazards in the workplace without fear of reprisal. That is why we've implemented a communication system that includes: WCA mobile safety tip, weekly tailgate meetings, monthly crew meetings, monthly supervisory meetings held Plan de Prevencidn de Lastimadura y Enfermedades PROPOSITO West Coast Arborists, Inc. esta comprometido con la seguridad y la salud de nuestros empleados y sabemos que nuestra fortaleza como empresa es tan s6lida como la fortaleza de cada individuo. Nos esforzamos por colocar la seguridad y la salud por encima de todo a involucrar a todos los trabajadores en todos los niveles en el establecimiento, implementaci6n y evaluaci6n de nuestros esfuerzos. Este Plan de Prevencidn de Lesiones y Enfermedades (IIPP) escrito tiene la intenci6n de reducir la gravedad de las enfermedades y lesiones relacion- adas con el trabajo en esta empresa. Nuestra intenci6n es cumplir con los requisitos de las leyes del estado de California, la Secci6n 3203 de las Ordenes Generales de Seguridad Industrial y otras normas relevantes.. COMPROMISO DE GERENCIA Nuestro compromiso con la seguridad y la salud se refleja en cada decision que tomamos y en cada acci6n que realizamos, por to que hemos establecido objetivos en el lugar de trabajo para la prevenci6n de lesiones y enfermedades. Como empresa, nuestros objetivos de seguridad son prevenir lesiones, enfermedades y ac- cidentes en el lugar de trabajo. EI prop6sito principal del programa es garantizar la seguridad y la salud de los empleados de West Coast Arborists, Inc. y proporcionar un entorno de trabajo seguro y saludable. Los siguientes administradores del Plan de Prevencidn de Lesiones y Enfermedades coordinan los elementos del programa para nuestra empresa: EI Gerente de Seguridad y Capacitaci6n es responsable de establecer y gestionar el programa para que ge- rentes, supervisores y empleados sepan que espera la empresa. EI Administrador del Programa es responsa- ble de cumplir con estas obligaciones cuando realizamos las evaluaciones de desempeno anuales. 1=1/Ella tie- ne la autoridad (capacidad delegada para tomar medidas) para desempenar sus funciones de manera oportu- na, asegurando el progreso en el cumplimiento de los objetivos del programa. Se Is proporciona los recursos, informaci6n y capacitaci6n suficientes para cumplir con estas responsabilidades. EI Equipo de Gesti6n ha examinado nuestras politicas y practicas existentes para garantizar que fomenten, y no desalienten, la notificaci6n y participaci6n en nuestro programa. De este modo, es mas probable que ocu- rra la notificaci6n temprana de lesiones, enfermedades y riesgos, as[ como una participaci6n significativa de los empleados en el programa. La notificaci6n de lesiones, enfermedades y riesgos es especialmente impor- tante, ya que el exito del programa depende de dicha informaci6n. EI Equipo de Gesti6n revisa todos los programas de incentivos para garantizar que esten disenados para re- compensar practicas laborales seguras, como la participaci6n activa en el programa, la identificaci6n de ries- gos en el lugar de trabajo y la notificaci6n temprana de signos y sintomas de enfermedades, en lugar de re- compensar a los empleados por tener menos lesiones o enfermedades. Los Gerentes y Supervisores son responsables de implementar y mantener el Plan de Prevenci6n de Lesio- nes y Enfermedades en sus areas de trabajo y de responder las preguntas de los trabajadores sobre el pro- grama. Una copia de este programa esta disponible para cada gerente y supervisor. COMMUNICACION SOME LA SEGURIDAD Con el objetivo de abrir las lineas de comunicaci6n entre la administraci6n y los empleados, hemos estableci- do un sistema que permite un flujo continuo de informaci6n sobre seguridad y salud, que sea facilmente com- prensible para todos los empleados afectados. EI Gerente de Seguridad y Capacitaci6n se comunica con los empleados semanalmente, mensualmente y trimestralmente sobre el programa, para que tengan la informaci6n necesaria para protegerse de los riesgos y puedan contribuir efcazmente a la operaci6n del programa. Reconocemos que es fundamental mantener a nuestros empleados informados sobre temas relacionados con la seguridad y salud ocupacional, al mismo tiempo que los alentamos a notificar a la administraci6n sobre los peligros en el lugar de trabajo sin temor a with management to discuss safety problems and accidents that have occurred, workplace safety suggestion (appendix 6), these notices are in our monthly newsletters, given to all employees at meetings and when re- quested. LABOR/MANAGEMENT SAFETY AND HEALTH COMMITTEE We've elected to use a labor/management safety and health committee to ensure that a continuous flow of information is maintained. This committee meets monthly and is responsible for reviewing accidents and in- jury reports on completeness and accuracy to ensure if appropriate policies and procedures were followed to prevent reoccurrence. EMPLOYEE PARTICIPATION AND INFORMATION All of our employees, including managers and supervisors, are trained and expected to follow the general safe and healthful work practices and work practices specifically developed for their jobs. In addition, they must understand our safety and health reporting system, so that reports are received in a timely and system- atic manner. To ensure employee compliance with safe work practices, we've developed the following recognition meth- ods to motivate employees to put our safety rules and work procedures into practice: crew lunches, safe crew of the month by region, employee of the month, safe crew visit handouts. Our company also holds employees accountable if they violate safety and health rules or safe work practices. Our disciplinary procedures are as follows depending on the severity of the violation and if there is a recur- rence of the safety violation, it will determine the following action(s) to be taken: verbal warning, written warn- ing and/or termination. A copy of Cal/OSHA's Injury & Illness Prevention Plan regulation, Section 3203, and other information is ac- cessible to all employees at the corporate office located at 2200 E. Via Burton, Anaheim, CA. 92806. Howev- er, this information does not include confidential or private information that is of a personal nature, such as medical records. While we provide opportunities for employee participation, we also comply with the National Labor Relations Act. SAFETY AND HEALTH REPORTING Our safety and health reporting system ensures that all front-line Supervisors and the Safety & Training Man- ager receives and promptly responds to the report, evaluates the report to determine whether an injury or illness has occurred, and takes corrective action as Cal/OSHA regulations require and where appropriate. When determining whether an employee who has experienced signs or symptoms of an injury or illness actu- ally has an injury or illness, we have the employee evaluated, at no cost to the employee, by an approved medical provider. We use the following method for reporting job-related injuries, illnesses, fatalities, near -misses, and hazards: Written incident reports, e-mail, phone calls, text messages to the Claims Department. Our reporting method allows for anonymous notification of near -misses and hazards that do not involve job-related injury, illness, or fatality. All employee reports (whether or not they are anonymous) are taken seriously by the company. If an injury, illness, fatality, near -miss, or hazard has occurred, we will identify, assess, and control the hazard(s). HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT Before existing and potential hazards can be prevented and controlled, they must be identified and assessed. It is critical that this be done for the entire workplace. The Safety & Training Manager reviews existing safety and health records on a weekly and monthly basis. The Safety & Training Manager, Safety Supervisors, Area Managers, Field Supervisors and/or Foremen per- form hazard inspections on a daily, weekly, monthly basis. This person/team has a thorough knowledge of the work being performed and the regulations that apply. Inspections are conducted with job briefings (Appendix 1), crew evaluations (Appendix 2)and job hazard analyses (Appendix 3). Job briefings are conducted on-site before starting work each day and are repeated whenever the jobsite, work type, or conditions change throughout the day. Led by the foreman, these briefings are collaborative, encouraging participation and feedback from the crew to ensure everyone is informed and engaged. The purpose of the briefing is to review the scope of work, identify potential hazards, outline mitigation strategies, represalias. Por esta razon, hemos implementado un sistema de comunicacion que incluye: sugerencias de seguridad movil de WCA (Apendice 6), reuniones semanales de seguridad en el campo (tailgate meetings), reuniones mensuales de equipo, reuniones mensuales de supervision con la administracion para discutir pro- blemas de seguridad y accidentes ocurridos, sugerencias de seguridad en el lugar de trabajo (Apendice 6). Estas notificaciones se incluyen en nuestros boletines informativos mensuales, que se entregan a todos los empleados en las reuniones y cuando son solicitadas. COMITY DE GERENCIA/LABORAL SEGURIDAD Y SALUD Hemos decidido utilizar un comite de seguridad y salud conformado por trabajadores y la administracion para garantizar que se mantenga un flujo continuo de informacion. Este comite se reune mensualmente y es res- ponsable de revisar los informes de accidentes y lesiones para verificar su integridad y precision, aseguran- dose de que se hayan seguido las politicas y procedimientos adecuados para prevenir su recurrencia. PARTICIPACION Y INFORMACION DE EMPLEADOS Todos nuestros empleados, incluidos gerentes y supervisores, reciben capacitation y se espera que sigan las practicas generales de trabajo seguro y saludable, asi como las practicas especificas desarrolladas para sus funciones. Ademas, deben comprender nuestro sistema de notificacion de seguridad y salud para garantizar que los informes se reciban de manera oportuna y sistematica. Para asegurar el cumplimiento de los empleados con las practicas de trabajo seguro, hemos desarrollado los siguientes metodos de reconocimiento para motivar a los empleados a poner en practica nuestras normas de seguridad y procedimientos de trabajo: almuerzos para el equipo, equipo seguro del mes por region, emplea- do del mes y material informativo entregado durante visitas a equipos seguros. Nuestra empresa tambien responsabiliza a los empleados que infringen las normas de seguridad y salud o las practicas de trabajo seguro. Nuestros procedimientos disciplinarios son los siguientes, dependiendo de la gravedad de la infraction y si hay reincidencia en la violation de seguridad, to que determinara la accion(es) a tomar: advertencia verbal, advertencia por escrito y/o termination del empleo. Una copia del reglamento del Plan de Prevention de Lesiones y Enfermedades de Cal/OSHA, Seccion 3203, y otra informacion relevante esta disponible para todos los empleados en la oficina corporativa ubicada en 2200 E. Via Burton, Anaheim, CA 92806. Sin embargo, esta informacion no incluye datos confidenciales o pri- vados de caracter personal, como registros medicos. Si bien proporcionamos oportunidades para la participation de los empleados, tambien cumplimos con la Ley Nacional de Relaciones Laborales (National Labor Relations Act). REPORTANDO SEGURIDAD Y SALUD Nuestro sistema de notificacion de seguridad y salud garantiza que todos los Supervisores de primera linea y el Gerente de Seguridad y Capacitacion reciban y respondan oportunamente a los informes, evaluen si ha ocurrido una lesion o enfermedad y tomen las medidas correctivas necesarias segOn to exigen las regulacio- nes de Cal/OSHA y cuando sea apropiado. Al determinar si un empleado que ha experimentado signos o sin- tomas de una lesion o enfermedad realmente tiene una lesion o enfermedad, hacemos que el empleado sea evaluado, sin costo para el, por un proveedor medico aprobado. Utilizamos el siguiente metodo para reportar lesiones, enfermedades, fatalidades, incidentes cercanos (near - misses) y riesgos laborales: informes de incidentes por escrito, correo electronico, Ilamadas telefonicas y mensajes de texto al Departamento de Reclamaciones. Nuestro metodo de notificacion permite el reporte anonimo de incidentes cercanos y riesgos que no involucren lesiones, enfermedades o fatalidades laborales. Todos los informes de los empleados (sean anonimos o no) son tornados en serio por la empresa. Si ocurre una lesion, enfermedad, fatalidad, incidente cercano o riesgo, identificaremos, evaluaremos y controlaremos los peligros involucrados. IDENTIFICACION Y ASESORAR PELIGRO Antes de que los riesgos existentes y potenciales puedan ser prevenidos y controlados, deben ser identifica- dos y evaluados. Es fundamental que esto se haga en todo el lugar de trabajo. EI Gerente de Seguridad y Ca- pacitacion revisa los registros existentes de seguridad y salud de manera semanal y mensual. EI Gerente de Seguridad y Capacitacion, los Supervisores de Seguridad, los Gerentes de Area, los Supervi- sores de Campo y/o los Capataces realizan inspecciones de riesgos a diario, semanalmente y mensualmente. review required PPE and tools, and clarify each crew member's role in the workflow. If the job presents unique or additional hazards or is considered non -typical, the foreman will initiate a Job Hazard Analysis to further as- sess and address safety concerns. Crew evaluations are unscheduled assessments conducted by area managers, supervisors, and the Safety and Training Department to review crew safety practices and productivity. These evaluations function as both a documented safety review and a teaching tool to promote on-the-job improvements. Any unresolved dis- crepancies are logged into WCA's internal systems for follow-up and tracking until fully addressed. The follow- up box on the evaluation ensures that all corrective measures are documented, monitored, and completed, driving continuous improvement and accountability. After the evaluations are signed and submitted, they are immediately sent to the Foreman, Supervisor, Manager, Human Resources Manager, and the Safety and Training Manager for review, ensuring timely feedback and coordinated corrective actions if necessary. The Safety & Training Manager and the head of the department identifies and evaluates hazards before we change procedures, or change design, or purchase equipment, materials, or processes. This is called proac- tive safety, and the concept encompasses facilities, hardware, equipment, tooling, materials, layout and config- uration, energy controls, environmental concerns, and products. In addition, the Safety & Training Manager will investigate each work-related fatality, serious injury or illness, or near -miss having the potential to cause death or serious physical harm. The Safety & Training Manager is responsible for determining what repairs or corrections need to be made and assigning responsibility to get them done. Once corrected, all hazards are reassessed. HAZARD PREVENTION AND CONTROL Once hazards are identified and assessed, they must be eliminated or controlled. Job hazard controls are en- gineering, administrative, and/or work practice controls used to eliminate or materially reduce hazards. While engineering controls, where feasible, are the preferred method, administrative and work practice controls also may be important in addressing hazards. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) may also be used to supple- ment engineering, work practice, and administrative controls, but may only be used alone where other con- trols are not feasible. Ultimately, we implement job hazard controls to bring our facility into compliance with the California Occupation- al Safety and Health Act of 1973 and Cal/OSHA regulations. Generally, this means coming to one of three ends: 1. The hazards are materially reduced using the incremental abatement process; 2. The hazards are reduced to the extent feasible, and then the Safety & Training Manager periodically looks to see whether additional controls are feasible and, if so, he/she implements them promptly; or 3. The hazards are eliminated. When hazards are observed or discovered or when hazards are imminent, our company follows these steps for hazard control: immediate shutdown of job site and hazard is removed, repaired or replaced. Additional training is provided when necessary. WCA Foremen use Job Briefings (see appendices) before working on any jobsite to identify typical or routine hazards. During non -routine jobs that may include additional or higher-level hazards, Area Supervisors and/or Managers perform Job Hazard Analyses (see appendices) with the Foremen to identify, review, and, if possi- ble, mitigate or eliminate the hazards before beginning work. All documentation is stored on a private comput- er server with the documents associated with the job and remain accessible in the event that it needs to be reviewed or produced in the future. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) The purpose of this Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Policy is to protect the employees of West Coast Ar- borists, Inc. (WCA) from exposure to workplace hazards and the risk of injury through the use of personal pro- tective equipment (PPE). It is also intended to provide a framework for identifying and selecting appropriate PPE and training employees on its use. This policy is intended to ensure that all employees are able to perform their duties safely and effectively, and it reflects WCA's commitment to the safety and health of its staff. Esta persona o equipo tiene un conocimiento profundo del trabajo que se esta realizando y de las regulacio- nes aplicables. Las inspecciones se Ilevan a cabo mediante reuniones de trabajo (Apendice 1), evaluaciones de la tripulaci6n (Apendice 2) y analisis de riesgos laborales (Apendice 3). Las reuniones de trabajo se realizan en el sitio antes de comenzar cada jornada y se repiten cads vez que Gambian las condiciones del sitio de trabajo, el tipo de labor o el entorno durante el dia. Dirigidas por el capa- taz, estas reuniones son colaborativas y fomentan la participaci6n y retroalimentaci6n de la tripulaci6n para garantizar que todos esten informados y comprometidos. EI prop6sito de la reunion es revisar el alcance del trabajo, identificar riesgos potenciales, definir estrategias de mitigaci6n, repasar el equipo de protecci6n per- sonal (EPP) y las herramientas necesarias, y aclarar el rol de cada miembro de la tripulaci6n en el flujo de tra- bajo. Si el trabajo presenta riesgos unicos o adicionales, o se considera no tipico, el capataz iniciara un Anali- sis de Riesgos Laborales para evaluar y abordar las preocupaciones de seguridad de manera mas detallada. Las evaluaciones de la tripulaci6n son revisiones no programadas realizadas por los gerentes de area, super- visores y el Departamento de Seguridad y Capacitaci6n para evaluar las practicas de seguridad de la tripula- ci6n y su productividad. Estas evaluaciones funcionan tanto tomo una revision documentada de seguridad Como una herramienta de ensenanza para fomentar mejoras en el trabajo. Cualquier discrepancia no resuelta se registra en los sistemas internos de WCA para su seguimiento hasta que se aborde completamente. La casilla de seguimiento en la evaluaci6n garantiza que todas las medidas correctivas sean documentadas, mo- nitoreadas y completadas, promoviendo la mejora continua y la rendici6n de cuentas. Una vez firmadas y en- viadas, las evaluaciones se envian de inmediato al Capataz, Supervisor, Gerente, Gerente de Recursos Huma- nos y al Gerente de Seguridad y Capacitaci6n para su revisi6n, asegurando una retroalimentaci6n oportuna y la implementaci6n de acciones correctivas si es necesario. EI Gerente de Seguridad y Capacitaci6n y el jefe del departamento identifican y evaluan los riesgos antes de que realicemos cambios en los procedimientos, el diseno, o la adquisici6n de equipos, materiales o procesos. Esto se conoce Como seguridad proactiva, y el concepto abarca instalaciones, hardware, equipo, herramien- tas, materiales, diseno y configuraci6n, controles de energia, preocupaciones ambientales y productos. Ademas, el Gerente de Seguridad y Capacitaci6n investigara cada fatalidad, lesi6n grave o enfermedad rela- cionada con el trabajo, asi como cualquier incidente cercano (near -miss) que tenga el potential de causar la muerte o un dano fisico grave. EI Gerente de Seguridad y Capacitaci6n es responsable de determinar que reparaciones o correcciones de - ben realizarse y de asignar la responsabilidad para su ejecuci6n. Una vez corregidos, todos los riesgos son reevaluados. PREVENCION Y CONTROL DE PELIGROS Una vez que los riesgos han sido identificados y evaluados, deben ser eliminados o controlados. Los contro- les de riesgos laborales incluyen controles de ingenieria, administrativos y/o de practicas de trabajo, utilizados para eliminar o reducir significativamente los riesgos. Aunque los controles de ingenieria son el metodo prefe- rido siempre que sea factible, los controles administrativos y de practicas de trabajo tambien pueden ser esenciales para abordar los riesgos. El Equipo de Protecci6n Personal (EPP) tambien puede utilizarse como un complemento de los controles de ingenieria, de practicas de trabajo y administrativos, pero solo puede usarse como Unica medida cuando no sea factible implementar otros controles. En Ultima instancia, implementamos controles de riesgos laborales para garantizar el cumplimiento de la Ley de Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional de California de 1973 y las regulaciones de Cal/OSHA. Generalmente, es - to significa alcanzar uno de los siguientes tres resultados: 1. Los riesgos se reducen significativamente mediante un proceso de eliminaci6n progresiva. 2. Los riesgos se reducen en la medida de to posible y el Gerente de Seguridad y Capacitaci6n revisa peri6dicamente si se pueden implementar controles adicionales y, de ser asi, los aplica de inmediato. 3. Los riesgos se eliminan por completo.

In addition, all managers and supervisors are responsible for implementing and maintaining the CPP in their assigned work areas and for ensuring employees receive answers to questions about the program in a language they understand. All employees are responsible for using safe work practices, following all directives, policies, and proce- dures, and assisting in maintaining a safe work environment. COVID-19 is a recognized hazard in our workplace that is addressed through our CPP, which will be effec- tively implemented and maintained to ensure the following: When determining measures to prevent COVID-19 transmission and identifying and correcting COVID-19 hazards in our workplace: • All persons in our workplace are treated as potentially infectious, regardless of symptoms, vac- cination status, or negative COVID-19 test results. • COVID-19 is treated as an airborne infectious disease. Applicable State of California and Califor- nia Department of Public Health orders and guidance will be reviewed when determining measures to prevent transmission and identifying and correcting COVID-19 hazards. • COVID-19 prevention controls include: • Remote work • Physical distancing • Partitions Training and instruction on COVID-19 prevention is provided: • When this CPP was first established. • To new employees. • To employees given a new job involving COVID-19 hazards and they have not been previ- ously trained. • Whenever new COVID-19 hazards are introduced. • When we are made aware of new or previously unrecognized COVID-19 hazards. For supervisors and managers to familiarize themselves with the COVID-19 hazards to which employees un- der their immediate direction and control may be exposed. This training will be held at monthly Supervisor and Regional meetings. Procedures to investigate COVID-19 illnesses at the workplace include: • Determining the day and time a COVID-19 case was last present; the date of the positive COVID-19 test or diagnosis; and the date the COVID-19 case first had one or more COVID-19 symptoms. • Effectively identifying and responding to persons with COVID-19 symptoms at the workplace. • Foreman/Supervisors/Managers will evaluate crew members/staff at the beginning of the work shift and throughout the work shift, observe if displaying COVID-19 symptoms. • Encouraging employees to report COVID-19 symptoms and to stay home when ill. • Employees will self -screen, evaluate their own symptoms before reporting to work or will call Supervisor for further instruction. • Encourage any employee who feels sick to stay home, notify their supervisor either by phone, text, or email they will be off work and stay home. Effective procedures for responding to COVID-19 cases at the workplace include: • Immediately excluding COVID-19 cases (including employees excluded under CCR, Title 8, section 3205.1) according to the following requirements: a. COVID-19 cases who do not develop COVID-19 symptoms will not return to work during the infectious period. b. COVID-19 cases who develop COVID-19 symptoms will not return to during the shorter of either of the following (the infectious period): COVID-19 cases with symptoms, it is a minimum of 24 hours from the day of symptom onset: 1 - COVID-19 cases may return if 24 hours have passed with no fever, without the use of fever -reducing medications, and 2 - their symptoms are mild and improving. 12 PLAN DE PREVENCION DE COVID-19 (CPP) EI Plan de Prevenci6n COVID-19 esta disenado para controlar la exposici6n de los empleados al virus SARS- CoV-2 (coronavirus 2 del sindrome respiratorio agudo severo) que causa COVID-19 (Enfermedad por corona- virus 2019) que puede ocurrir en nuestro lugar de trabajo. West Coast Arborists, Inc, (WCA) se compromete a proporcionar un lugar de trabajo seguro y saludable para todos nuestros trabajadores, clientes, huespedes y visitantes. Para asegurar que tengamos un lugar de trabajo seguro y saludable, West Coast Arborists, Inc., ha desarrollado el siguiente CPP COVID-19. Autoridad y Responsabilidad EI Departamento de Recursos Humanos tiene autoridad general y responsabilidad para implementar las dis- posiciones de el CPP en nuestro lugar de trabajo. Ademas, todos los gerentes y supervisores son responsa- bles de implementar y mantener el CPP en sus areas de trabajo asignadas y de asegurar que los empleados reciban respuestas a las preguntas sobre el programa en un idioma que entiendan. Todos los empleados son responsables de utilizar practicas de trabajo seguras, siguiendo todas las directivas, p6lizas y procedimientos, y ayudando a mantener un ambiente de trabajo seguro. COVID-19 es un peligro reconocido en nuestro lugar de trabajo que se dirigido a traves de nuestro CPP, que se implementara y mantendra de manera efectiva para garantizar Io siguiente: Al determinar medidas para prevenir la transmisi6n de COVID-19 e identificar y corregir los peligros de CO- VID-19 en nuestro lugar de trabajo: • Todas las personas en nuestro lugar de trabajo son tratadas como potencialmente infecciosas, in - depend ientemente de los sintomas, el estado de vacunaci6n o los resultados negativos de la prue- ba COVID-19. • COVID-19 se trata como una enfermedad infecciosa transmitida por el aire. Las 6rdenes y guia aplicables del Estado de California y del Departamento de Salud POblica de California se revisaran al determinar las medidas para prevenir la transmisi6n a identificar y corregir los peligros de CO- VID-19. • Los controles de prevenci6n de COVID-19 incluyen: • Trabajo remoto • Distanciamiento social • Particiones Se proporciona capacitaci6n a instrucci6n sobre la prevenci6n de COVID-19: • Cuando se estableci6 por primera vez el CPP. • A los nuevos empleados. • A los empleados que tienen un nuevo trabajo que implica peligros de COVID-19 y que no han sido entrenados anteriormente. • Siempre que se introduzcan nuevos peligros de COVID-19. • Cuando se nos informa de peligros de COVID-19 nuevos o no reconocidos previamente. Para que los supervisores y gerentes se familiaricen con los peligros de COVID-19 a los empleados que pue- den estar expuestos bajo su direcci6n y control inmediatos. Este entrenamiento se Ilevara a cabo en reunio- nes mensuales de Supervisores y Regionales. Los procedimientos para investigar las enfermedades por COVID-19 en el lugar de trabajo incluyen: • Determinar el dia y la hora en que estuvo presente un caso de COVID-19 por bitima vez; la fecha de la prueba o diagn6stico positivo de COVID-19; y la fecha en que el caso de COVID-19 tuvo por primera vez uno o mas sintomas de COVID-19. • Identificar y responder efectivamente a las personas con sintomas de COVID-19 en el lugar de tra- bajo. • EI mayordomo / supervisores / gerentes evaluara a los miembros de la cuadrilla / personal al comienzo de trabajo y durante todo el turno de trabajo, observara si muestra sintomas de COVID-19. • Animar a los empleados a reportar sintomas de COVID-19 y quedarse en casa cuando esten en- fermos. 13 COVID-19 cases with no symptoms, there is no infectious period for the purpose of isola- tion or exclusion. If symptoms develop, the criteria above will apply. c. Regardless of vaccination status, previous infection, or lack of COVID-19 symptoms, a COVID-19 case must wear a face covering in the workplace until 10 days have passed since the date that COVID-19 symptoms began or, if the person did not have COVID-19 symptoms, from the date of their first positive COVID-19 test. Elements apply regardless of whether an employee has been previously excluded or other precau- tions were taken in response to an employee's close contact or membership in an exposed group. Reviewing current California Department of Public Health (CDPH) guidance for persons who had close contacts, including any guidance regarding quarantine or other measures to reduce transmission. The following effective policies will be developed, implemented, and maintained to prevent trans- mission of COVID-19 by persons who had close contacts. • Encourage any employee who feels sick to stay home, notify their supervisor either by phone, text, or email they will be off work and stay home. • Employees that have called off work because they may have been exposed and/or are displaying symptoms, can call their supervisor or Human Resources for direction, information, and testing. • The importance of frequent hand washing with soap and water for at least twenty (20) seconds and using hand sanitizer when employees do not have immediate access to a sink or hand washing facili- ty, and that hand sanitizer does not work if the hands are soiled. • Proper use of face coverings and the fact that face coverings are not respiratory protective equip- ment. Since COVID-19 is an airborne disease, N95s and more protective respirators protect the us- ers from airborne disease, while face coverings primarily protect people around the user. If an order to isolate, quarantine, or exclude an employee is issued by a local or state health official, the em- ployee will not return to work until the period of isolation or quarantine is completed or the order is lifted. • Upon excluding an employee form the workplace based on COVID-19 or a close contact, WCA, Inc., will provide excluded employees information regarding COVID-19 related benefits to which the employee may be entitled under applicable federal, state, or local laws. This includes any benefits available under legally mandated sick leave, workers' compensation law, local governmental requirements, and WCA Inc., leave policies and leave guaranteed by contract. Testing Recommendation of Close Contacts COVID-19 tests are available at no cost, during paid time, to all of our employees who had a close contact in the workplace, except for asymptomatic employees who recently recovered from COVID-19. These employ- ees will be provided with the information regarding COVID-19 related benefits to which the employee may be entitled under applicable federal, state, or local laws. This includes any benefits available under legally mandated sick leave, workers' compensation law, local governmental requirements, and WCA Inc., leave policies and leave guaranteed by contract. Exceptions are retuned cases as defined in CCR, Title 8, section 3205(b)(11). CDPH no longer recommends testing for all close contacts and instead recommends testing only for: • All people with COVID-19 symptoms. • Close contacts who are at higher risk of severe disease or who have contact with people who are at higher risk of sever disease. Notice of COVID-19 cases Employees and independent contractors who had a close contact, as well as any employer with an employee who had a close contact, will be notified as soon as possible, and in no case longer than the time required to ensure that the exclusion requirements of paragraph (4) (a -d) above, are met. When Labor Code sections 6409.6 any successor law is in effect, WCA, Inc., will: • Provide notice of a COVID-19 case, in a form readily understandable to employees. The notice will be giv- en to all employees, employers, and independent contractions at work site, who may have been exposed. 14 Los empleados se autoevaluaran, evaluando sus propios sintomas antes de presentarse a trabajar o Ilamaran al Supervisor para obtener mas instrucciones. Anime a cualquier empleado que se sienta enfermo a quedarse en casa, notifique a su su- pervisor por telefono, mensaje de texto o correo electr6nico que estara fuera del trabajo y se quedara en casa. Los procedimientos efectivos para responder a los casos de COVID-19 en el lugar de trabajo incluyen: • Excluir inmediatamente los casos de COVID-19 (incluidos los empleados excluidos bajo CCR, Titulo 8, secci6n 3205.1) de acuerdo con los siguientes requisitos: a. Los casos de COVID-19 que no desarrollen sintomas de COVID-19 no volveran a trabajar durante el periodo infeccioso. b. Los casos de COVID-19 que desarrollen sintomas de COVID-19 no volveran durante el mas corto de cualquiera de los siguientes (EI periodo infeccioso): Para los casos de COVID-19 con sintomas, es un minimo de 24 horas desde el dia del inicio de los sintomas: 1 - Los casos de COVID-19 pueden regresar si han transcurrido 24 horas sin fiebre, sin el use de medicamentos para reducir la fiebre, Y 2 - Sus sintomas son leves y han mejorado. Para los casos de COVID-19, sin sintomas, no hay periodo infeccioso para fines de aisla- miento o exculsi6n. Si desarrollan sintomas, se aplican los criterios anteriores. c. Independientemente del estado de vacunaci6n, la infecci6n previa o la (alta de sintomas de COVID-19, un caso de COVID-19 debe usar una cubierta facial en el lugar de trabajo haste que hayan pasado 10 dias desde la fecha en que comenzaron los sintomas de CO- VID-19 o, si la persona no tenia sintomas de COVID-19, desde la fecha de su primera prueba positive de COVID-19. • Los elementos se aplican independientemente de si un empleado ha sido excluido previamente o si se tomaron otras precauciones en respuesta al contacto cercano o la membresia de un em- pleado en un grupo expuesto. • Revisar la guia actual del Departamento de Salud Publica de California (CDPH) para personas que tuvieron contactos cercanos, incluida cualquier guia sobre cuarentena u otras medidas para reducir la transmisi6n. • Se desarrollaran, implementaran y mantendran las siguientes politicas efectivas para prevenir la transmisi6n de COVID-19 por parte de personas que tuvieron contactos cercanos. • Anime a cualquier empleado que se sienta enfermo a quedarse en casa, notifique a su supervisor por telefono, mensaje de texto o correo electr6nico que estara fuera del traba- jo y se quedara en case. • Los empleados que han suspendido el trabajo porque pueden haber estado expuestos y / o muestran sintomas, pueden Ilamar a su supervisor o Recursos Humanos para obtener indicaciones, a informaci6n sobre pruebas. • La importancia de lavarse las manos con frecuencia con agua y jab6n durante al menos veinte (20) segundos y usar desinfectante de manos cuando los empleados no tienen ac- ceso inmediato a un fregadero o instalaci6n de lavado de manos, y ese desinfectante de manos no funciona si las manos estan sucias. • EI use adecuado de cubiertas faciales y el hecho de que las cubiertas faciales no son equipos de protecci6n respiratoria. Dado que COVID-19 es una enfermedad transmitida por el aire, los respiradores N95 y mas protectores protegen a los usuarios de enferme- dades transmitidas por el aire, mientras que las cubiertas faciales protegen principalmen- te a las personas que to rodean. Si un funcionario de salud local o estatal emite una Orden para aislar, poner en cuarentena o excluir a un em- pleado, el empleado no regresara al trabajo hasta que se complete el periodo de aislamiento o cuarentena o se levante la order. Al excluir a un empleado del lugar de trabajo basado en COVID-19 o un contacto cercano, WCA, Inc., proporcionara a los empleados excluidos informacipn sobre los beneficios relacionados con COVID-19 a los que el empleado puede tener derecho segun las leyes federales, estatales o locales aplicables. Esto incluye cualquier beneficio disponible bajo licencia por enfermedad legalmente obligatoria, ley de com- pensaci6n para trabajadores, requisitos gubernamentales locales y WCA Inc., p6lizas de licencia y licen- 15 • Provide notice to the authorized representative, if any of: • The COVID-19 case and of any employee who had a close contact. • All employees on the premises at the same worksite as the COVID-19 case within the infectious period. Face Coverings Employees will be provided face coverings and required to wear them when required by a CDPH regulation order. This includes spaces within vehicles when a CDPH regulation or order requires face coverings indoors. Face coverings will be clean, undamaged, and work over the nose and mouth. The following exceptions apply: 1. When an employee is alone in a room or vehicle. 2. While eating or drinking at the workplace, provided employees are at least six feet apart and, if indoors, the supply of outside filtered air has been maximized to the extent feasible. 3. While employees are wearing respirators required by the employer and used in compliance with CCR, Title 8 section 5144. 4. Employees who cannot wear face coverings due to a medical or mental health condition or disa- bility, or who are hearing-impaired or communicating with a hearing-impaired person. Such em- ployees shall wear an effective non-restrictive alternative, such as a face shield with a drape on the bottom, if the condition or disability permits it. 5. During specific tasks which cannot feasibly be performed with a face covering. This exception is limited to the time period in which such tasks are actually being performed. If an employee is not wearing a face covering due to expectations (4) and (5), above, the COVID-19 hazards will be assessed, and action taken as necessary. Employees will not be prevented from wearing a face cov- ering, including a respirator, when not required by this section, unless it creates a safety hazard. Respirators Respirators will be provided for voluntary use to employees who request them and who are working indoors or in vehicles with more than one person. Employees who request respirators for voluntary use will be: • Encouraged to use them. • Provided with a respirator of the correct size. • Trained on: • How to properly wear the respirator provided. • How to perform a user seal check according to the manufacturer's instructions each time a respi- rator is worn. • The fact that facial hair interferes with a seal. The requirements of CCR, Title 8 sections 5144(c)(2)will be complied with according to the type of respirator (disposable filtering face piece or elastomeric re -usable) provided to employees. Ventilation For our indoor workplaces we will: • Review CDPH and Cal/OSHA guidance regarding ventilation, including the CDPH Interim Guidance for Ventilation, Filtration, and Air Quality in Indoor Environments. WCA, Inc. will develop, implement, and maintain effective methods to prevent transmission of COVID-19, including one or more of the following actions to improve ventilation: • Maximize the supply of outside air to the extent feasible, except when the United States Environ- mental Protection Agency (EPA) Air Quality Index is greater than 100 for any pollutants or if opening windows or maximizing the outdoor air by other means would cause a hazard to employ- ees, for instance from excessive heat or cold. • In buildings and structures with mechanical ventilation, filter circulated air through filters at least as protective as Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV)-13, or the highest level of filtration efficiently compatible with the existing mechanical ventilation system. • Use of High Efficiency Particulate Air (NEPA) filtration units in accordance with a manufacturers' recommendations in indoor areas occupied by employees for extended periods, where ventila- tion is inadequate to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission. • Inspections of corporate office ventilation systems are conducted every thirty (30) days. • Inspections of our outlying offices ventilation systems are conducted every forty-five (45) days. 16 cia garantizada por contrato.

Durante tareas especificas que no se pueden realizar con una cubierta facial. Esta excepci6n se limita al periodo de tiempo en el que se realizan realmente dichas tareas. Si un empleado no usa una cubierta facial debido a las expectativas (4) y (5), anteriores, se evaluaran los peli- gros de COVID-19 y se tomaran las medidas necesarias. No se impedira que los empleados usen una cubier- ta facial, incluyendo un respirador, cuando no sea requerido por esta secci6n, al menos que crea un peligro para la seguridad. Respiradores Se proporcionaran respiradores de use voluntario a los empleados que los soliciten y que esten trabajando en interiores o en vehiculos con mas de una persona. Los empleados que soliciten respiradores para use vo- luntario seran: • Animado a usarlos. • Proporcionado un respirador del tamano correcto. • Entrenado en: 17 • All filters at all locations are changed every ninety (90) days. • All filters are manufacturer approved and replaced when systems are serviced. Determine if our workplace is subject to CCR, Title 8 section 5142 Mechanically Driven Heating, Ventilat- ing and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Systems to Provide Minimum building Ventilation, or sections 5143 General Requirements of Mechanical Ventilations systems, and comply as required. In vehicles, we will maximize the supply of outside air to the extent feasible, except when doing so would cause harm to em- ployees or expose them to inclement weather. Reporting, Recordkeeping, and Access All investigations of COVID-19 cases will be used to keep a record of and track of all COVID-19 cases. These records will be kept by Eliz Parra, Human Resources Manager and retained for two years beyond the period in which it is necessary to meet the requirements of CCR, Title 8, sections 3205, 3205.1, 3205.2, 3205.3. The notices required by subsection will be kept in accordance with Labor Code 6409.6 or any successor law. PROTECTION FROM WILDFIRE SMOKE The purpose of this program is to protect employees that are subject to wildfire smoke exposure. Smoke from wildfires contains chemicals, gases and fine particles that can harm health even when you are not close to a fire. The smoke contains very fine particles in the air, also called particulate matter (PM). The major health concerns are the smallest particles called "PM2.5" because they are 2.5 microns in diameter or smaller. That is much smaller than the diameter of a human hair.

PROTECCION CONTRA EL HUMO DE INCENDIOS FORESTALES EI prop6sito de este programa es proteger a los empleados que estan expuestos al humo de incendios fores- tales. EI humo de los incendios forestales contiene productos quimicos, gases y particulas finas que pueden danar la salud incluso cuando no estas cerca de un incendio. EI humo contiene partfculas muy finas en el afi- re, tambien Ilamadas material particulado (PM). Las principales preocupaciones para la salud son las particu- las mas pequenas Ilamadas "PM2.5 porque tienen un diametro de 2.5 micrones o menos. Eso es mucho mas pequeno que el diametro de un Cabello humano. EI PM2.5 puede irritar los pulmones y causar efectos graves e incluso mortales para la salud, tomo: 19 Employees can also check AQI forecasts and current AQI for PM2.5 from the following websites, or directly by telephone, email or text: The U.S. EPA AirNow, The U.S. Forest Service Interagency Wildland Fire Air Quality Response Program, The California Air Resources Board, the local air pollution control district or the local air quality management district. Air Quality Index notifications are available at www.enviroflash.info. Protection from wildfire smoke applies to workplaces where the current AQI is 151 or greater (unhealthy) and where the employer reasonably anticipates that employees may be exposed to wildfire smoke. EMPLOYEE & SUPERVISOR TRAINING The Safety & Training Manager, Area Manager, and/or Supervisor will provide training to all employees in: • identifying harmful exposures and their potential health effects; • their right to obtain medical treatment without fear of retaliation; • how they can find out the current AQI for PM2.5; • the requirements of the Cal/OSHA wildfire smoke standard requirements; • the employer's methods to protect employees from wildfire smoke; • the importance, limitations, and benefits of using a respirator; • how to properly put on and use the employer-provided respirators (Appendix 7); • communicating with employees; and • controlling harmful exposures through engineering and administrative controls, and respirators. COMMUNICATION The Area Manager will communicate wildfire smoke hazards to the Foremen who will inform employees and encourage them to inform their Foreman, Supervisor or Area Manager of worsening air quality and adverse symptoms that might be related to wildfire smoke. When the AQI is 151 or greater, the Foreman will include wildfire smoke protection procedures as a job haz- ard on the Job Briefing and encourage employees to voluntarily wear an employer-provided NIOSH -approved respirator. When the AQI is 500 or above, employees are required to wear an employer-provided NIOSH - approved respirator. CONTROL HARMFUL EXPOSURES Employee exposure to wildfire smoke may be reduced by implementing the following: • Engineering Controls: Provide engineering controls such as an enclosed location with filtered air so that employee exposure to PM2.5 is less than a current AQI of 151, or to the extent feasible. Administrative Controls: If engineering controls are not feasible or adequate, use practicable admin- istrative controls such as relocate to another location where the current AQI for PM2.5 is lower, change work schedules, reduce work intensity or provide more rest periods. • Respirators: Provide a sufficient number of NIOSH -approved respirators if employee exposure to PM2.5 cannot be reduced to a current AQI of 150 or lower. Provide a sufficient number of respirators for employee use on a voluntary basis when the current AQI for PM2.5 is equal to or greater than 151 but does not exceed 500, and lastly, require employees to use respirators when the current AQI for PM2.5 is greater than 500. 1. If the AQI is 151 or above: a. Employees who are not clean shaven and/or cannot create a good seal with a respirator shall not be issued a respirator. They shall be given the option of not working instead. b. Foreman shall be responsible for documenting good seals for all respirators issued. 2. If the AQI is 500 or above: a. WCA does not work unless called out for Emergency Response Services. b. During Emergency Response Services, all employees working shall be required to be clean shaven and have a good seal with their respirator which shall be documented by a supervisor or manager before the employees are allowed to perform any work.

Las notificaciones del Indice de Calidad del Aire estan disponibles en www.enviroflash.info. La protecci6n contra el humo de incendios forestales se aplica a los lugares de trabajo donde el AQI actual es de 151 o mss (insalubre) y donde el empleador razonablemente anticipa que los empleados pueden estar expuestos al humo de incendios forestales. AQI Category for PM2.5 Level of Health Concern 0 to 50 <Good 51 to 100 Moderate 101 to 150 Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups 151 to 200 Unhealthy 201 to 300 Very Unhealthy 301 to 500 Hazardous ENTRENAMIENTO PARA EMPLEADOS Y SUPERVISORES EI Gerente de Seguridad y Entrenaiento, el Gerente de Area y/o el Supervisor proporcionar entrena miento a todos los empleados en: • Identificar exposiciones perjudiciales y sus posibles efectos en la salud. • Su derecho a recibir tratamiento medico sin temor a represalias. • C6mo pueden obtener el AQI actual para PM2.5. • Los requisitos de la norma de humo de incendios forestales de Cal/OSHA. • Los metodos del empleador para proteger a los empleados del humo de incendios forestales. 21 Wildfire Smoke Protection Plan: • Enclosed buildings/structures in which the air is filtered by a mechanical ventilation system, and win- dows, doors, bays and other openings are kept closed except when doors are opened to enter or exit. • Enclosed vehicles in which the air is filtered by a cabin air filter and the employer ensures that win- dows, doors and other openings are kept closed except when doors are opened to enter or exit. • The employer measures the concentration of PM2.5 in the air and shows that the current AQI is below 151. • Employees exposed to a current AQI for PM2.5 of 151 or greater for a total of one hour or less per shift. ACCIDENT/EXPOSURE INVESTIGATIONS Although every effort is made to prevent workplace injuries and illnesses, we realize that accidents involving injuries and illnesses can happen, and we are prepared to handle these unexpected situations. If an accident or near -miss occurs in our establishment, the Foreman, Supervisor, Area Manager, Safety Inspector and/or Safety & Training Manager is responsible for conducting a thorough accident investigation to identify the cause(s), as well as the steps that must be taken to correct the situation. Our company follows these steps when investigating an accident (involving an occupational injury, illness, fa- tality, or exposure to a hazardous substance) or near -miss occurrence: an incident report (Appendix 4) is filled out by the person conducting the investigation and is reviewed by Supervision and/or the Safety & Training Manager. All incidents and near misses are investigated, evaluated, and utilized as critical learning opportunities to pre- vent future occurrences through the creation of Incident Reports and Safety Improvement Plans (Appendix 5). Foremen report on minor incidents, supervisors manage moderate incidents, and major incidents are investi- gated by Managers or the Safety and Training Department. Investigators gather witness statements, video and photo evidence, and any relevant physical materials. Each investigation, whether for an incident or near miss, initiates a case with the Claims Department that remains open until the Safety Improvement Plan (SIP) is com- pleted. The SIP aims to reduce hazards through elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative measures, or new PPE implementation. Once these controls are applied, the SIP is submitted, and the case is officially closed by the Claims Department. Larger incidents and significant near misses are reviewed by the Training Committee, which includes supervi- sors, managers, regional managers, the Human Resources Manager, the Claims Manager, the Safety and Training Department, and various vice presidents. The committee analyzes key lessons and identifies actiona- ble improvements to reinforce safety awareness and prevent future occurrences. These lessons are then dis- tributed company -wide through safety bulletins, the monthly company newsletter, and regular monthly train- ing programs, ensuring all employees benefit from shared knowledge and preventative measures. All docu- mentation is stored by the Claims and Safety and Training Departments on a private computer server. DRUG & ALCOHOL POLICY To ensure the health and safety of its employees, customers and property, WCA is dedicated to maintaining a drug-free workplace. All employees are required to perform their job duties unimpaired by illegal drugs, alco- hol or the improper use of legal substances, at all times. All Supervisors and Managers undergo formal, documented reasonable suspicion training to help identify and handle situations involving suspected substance use on the job. When an employee is suspected of being un- der the influence, a trained supervisor or manager collaborates with the Human Resources Manager to coor- dinate and escort the employee for a random drug and alcohol test. All steps are documented by the Human Resource Department and documents are kept in confidential employee files. This process ensures that inci- dents are handled professionally, consistently, and in accordance with company policy to maintain a safe and productive work environment. Tests are given pre-employment, to confirm reasonable suspicion, incidents, and when commercial drivers are randomly selected as required by the Department of Transportation (DOT). WCA performs five types of drug and alcohol testing: • Pre-employment -a 4 panel drug test to include amphetamines, opiates, methamphetamine/ amphetamines and cocaine metabolite. 22 • La importancia, limitaciones y beneficios de usar un respirador. • Como ponerse y usar correctamente los respiradores proporcionados por el empleador. • Comunicarse con los empleados. • Controlar exposiciones perjudiciales a traves de controles de ingenieria y administrativos, y respiradores. COMUNICACi6N EI Gerente de Area comunicara los peligros del humo de incendios forestales a los Foreman, quienes infor- maran a los empleados y los alentaran a informar a su Foreman, Supervisor o Gerente de Area sobre la em- peoramiento de la calidad del aire y los sintomas adversos que podrian estar relacionados con el humo de incendios forestales. Cuando el AQI sea de 151 o mas, el Foreman incluira los procedimientos de protecci6n contra el humo de incendios forestales como un riesgo laboral en la Reunion Previa al Trabajo y alentara a los empleados a usar voluntariamente un respirador aprobado por NIOSH proporcionado por el empleador. Cuando el AQI sea de 500 o mas, se requerira que los empleados usen un respirador aprobado por NIOSH proporcionado por el empleador. CONTROL DE EXPOSICIONES PERJUDICIALES La exposici6n de los empleados al humo de incendios forestales se puede reducir mediante la implementa- cion de to siguiente: • Controles de Ingenieria: Proporcionar controles de ingenieria, como un lugar cerrado con aire filtrado, para que la exposici6n de los empleados al PM2.5 sea inferior a un AQI actual de 151, o en la medida de to posible. • Controles Administrativos: Si los controles de ingenieria no son factibles o adecuados, utilizar controles administrativos practicos, como reubicarse en otro lugar donde el AQI actual para PM2.5 sea mas bajo, cambiar los horarios de trabajo, reducir la intensidad del trabajo o proporcionar mas periodos de descanso. • Respiradores: Proporcionar un numero suficiente de respiradores aprobados por NIOSH si la exposici6n de los empleados al PM2.5 no se puede reducir a un AQI actual de 150 o menos. Proporcionar un nume- ro suficiente de respiradores para que los empleados los usen de manera voluntaria cuando el AQI actual para PM2.5 sea igual o mayor a 151 pero no supere los 500, y por ultimo, requerira a los empleados que usen respiradores cuando el AQI actual para PM2.5 sea superior a 500. 1. Si el AQI es de 151 o mas: a. Los empleados que no esten afeitados y/o no puedan crear un buen sellado con un respirador no se les proporcionara un respirador. Se les darn la opci6n de no trabajar en su lugar. b. EI Foreman sera responsable de documentar los buenos sellados de todos los respiradores propor- cionados. 2. Si el AQI es de 500 o mas: a. WCA no trabajara a menos que sea llamado para Servicios de Respuesta de Emergencia. b. Durante los Servicios de Respuesta de Emergencia, todos los empleados que trabajen deberan es - tar afeitados y tener un buen sellado con su respirador, to cual sera documentado por un supervisor o gerente antes de que se les permita trabajar. EXCEPCIONES Los empleadores con lugares de trabajo y operaciones en cualquiera de las siguientes condiciones no tienen que implementar el Plan de Protecci6n contra el Humo de Incendios Forestales: • Edificios/estructuras cerrados en los que el aire es filtrado por un sistema de ventilaci6n mecanica, y las ventanas, puertas, bahias y otras aberturas se mantienen cerradas excepto cuando se abren las puertas para entrar o salir. • Vehiculos cerrados en los que el aire es filtrado por un filtro de aire de cabina y el empleador asegura que las ventanas, puertas y otras aberturas se mantienen cerradas excepto cuando se abren las puertas para entrar o salir. • EI empleador mide la concentraci6n de PM2.5 en el aire y demuestra que el Indice de Calidad del Aire (AQI) actual es inferior a 151. • Empleados expuestos a un AQI actual para PM2.5 de 151 o mas durante un total de una hora o menos 23 • Reasonable suspicion - Breath Alcohol Test (BAT) and a 5 panel drug test to include marijuana - cannabinoids, amphetamines, opiates, methamphetamine/amphetamines and cocaine metabolite. • Pre-employment DOT - a 9 panel drug test to include marijuana -cannabinoids, amphetamines, opiates, methamphetamine/amphetamines, cocaine metabolite, codeine/morphine, 6 -acetyl morphine, hydrocodo- ne/hydromorphone, oxycodone/oxymorphone, phencyclidine and MDMA/MDA. • Reasonable Suspicion DOT - Breath Alcohol Test (BAT) and a 9 panel drug test to include marijuana - cannabinoids, amphetamines, opiates, methamphetamine/amphetamines, cocaine metabolite, codeine/ morphine, 6-acetylmorphine, hydrocodone/hydromorphone, oxycodone/oxymorphone, phencyclidine and MDMA/MDA. • Random DOT - Breath Alcohol Test (BAT) and a 9 panel drug test to include marijuana -cannabinoids, am- phetamines, opiates, methamphetamine/amphetamines, cocaine metabolite, codeine/morphine, 6- acetylmorphine, hydrocodone/hydromorphone, oxycodone/oxymorphone, phencyclidine and MDMA/MDA. WCA only utilizes licensed clinics to perform drug and alcohol testing and pays all costs associated with test- ing, including supplemental tests due to employees challenging previous test results. An employee who tests positive for illegal drugs or alcohol has certain rights, including the right to confidenti- ality of test results, due process to challenge or retest, and protection from discrimination under applicable disability laws if seeking treatment. They have the right to know and understand WCA's drug policy and may be offered participation in rehabilitation programs through Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) as an alter- native to discipline or termination. Unionized employees have additional protections, including representation during the disciplinary processes. However, employees are generally not protected if they are under the influ- ence at work or violate company policy, and state or local laws may vary regarding off-duty substance use. If they believe termination or disciplinary actions were unlawful, employees may file complaints with labor boards or pursue legal action. If an employee contests the result, they will be sent back to re -test at no cost to the employee. TRAINING Training is one of the most important elements of our Injury & Illness Prevention Plan because it allows em- ployees to learn their jobs properly, brings new ideas into the workplace, reinforces existing ideas and practic- es, and puts our program into action. All of our employees, which include managers, supervisors, and workers, know about the establishment and success of our Injury & Illness Prevention Plan. They understand the importance of establishing and maintaining safe and healthful working conditions and their roles in this effort. Under no circumstances may an employee work in job assignments for which training is re- quired until he/she has successfully completed the proper training. This includes all existing and new employees. However, if an employee has received training in certain required topics within the last three (3) years, initial training in those specific topics may not be required. Before we can meet the prior training exception, the Safety & Training Manager must be able to demonstrate that the employee has retained sufficient knowledge to meet the requirements for initial training. He/She determines this by reviewing employee's application and verification of past experience, discussion with employee, and/or testing. To be clear, training and instruction is provided: • When this program is first established; • To all new employees; • To all employees given new job assignments for which training has not previously been received; • Whenever new substances, processes, procedures, or equipment are introduced to the workplace and represent a new hazard; • Whenever we are made aware of a new or previously unrecognized hazard; and • To supervisors to familiarize them with the safety and health hazards to which employees under their immediate direction and control may be exposed; and • To all workers with respect to hazards specific to each employee's job assignment. 24 por turno. INVESTIGACION ACCIDENTE/EXPONER Aunque hacemos todo to posible para prevenir lesiones y enfermedades en el lugar de trabajo, reconocemos que los accidentes pueden ocurrir, y estamos preparados para manejar estas situaciones inesperadas. Si ocu- rre un accidente o un incidente cercano (near -miss) en nuestro establecimiento, el Capataz, Supervisor, Ge- rente de Area, Inspector de Seguridad y/o el Gerente de Seguridad y Capacitaci6n son responsables de Ilevar a cabo una investigaci6n exhaustiva del accidente para identificar la(s) causa(s) y determinar los pasos nece- sarios para corregir la situaci6n. Nuestra empresa sigue estos pasos al investigar un accidente (que involucre una lesi6n ocupacional, enferme- dad, fatalidad o exposici6n a una sustancia peligrosa) o un incidente cercano: se completa un informe de inci- dente (Apendice 4) por la persona que realiza la investigaci6n, y este es revisado por la Supervision y/o el Ge- rente de Seguridad y Capacitaci6n. Todos los incidentes a incidentes cercanos son investigados, evaluados y utilizados como oportunidades clave de aprendizaje para prevenir futuras ocurrencias mediante la creaci6n de Informes de Incidentes y Planes de Mejora de Seguridad (SIP, por sus siglas en ingles) (Apendice 5). Los Capataces reportan incidentes menores, los Supervisores gestionan incidentes moderados y los incidentes mayores son investigados por Gerentes o el Departamento de Seguridad y Capacitaci6n. Los investigadores recopilan declaraciones de testigos, evidencia en video y fotos, asi como cualquier material fisico relevante. Cada investigaci6n, ya sea de un incidente o un incidente cercano, inicia un vaso con el Departamento de Re- clamaciones, el cual permanece abierto hasta que se complete el Plan de Mejora de Seguridad (SIP). EI SIP tiene como objetivo reducir los riesgos mediante eliminaci6n, sustituci6n, controles de ingenieria, medidas ad- ministrativas o la implementaci6n de nuevos Equipos de Protecci6n Personal (EPP). Una vez aplicados estos controles, el SIP es enviado y el caso se cierra oficialmente por el Departamento de Reclamaciones. Los incidentes de mayor magnitud y los incidentes cercanos significativos son revisados por el Comite de Ca- pacitaci6n, que incluye a supervisores, gerentes, gerentes regionales, el Gerente de Recursos Humanos, el Gerente de Reclamaciones, el Departamento de Seguridad y Capacitaci6n, y varios vicepresidentes. EI comite analiza las lecciones clave y determina mejoras concretas para reforzar la concienciaci6n sobre seguridad y prevenir futuras ocurrencias. Estas lecciones se distribuyen a toda la empresa a traves de boletines de seguri- dad, el boletin mensual de la empresa y los programas de capacitation mensual, asegurando que todos los empleados se beneficien del conocimiento compartido y de las medidas preventivas. Toda la documentation es almacenada por los Departamentos de Reclamaciones y de Seguridad y Capacitaci6n en un servidor infor- matico privado. POLITICA SOME DROGAS Y ALCOHOL Para garantizar la salud y seguridad de sus empleados, clientes y propiedad, WCA esta comprometida a man- tener un entorno de trabajo libre de drogas. Todos los empleados deben desempenar sus funciones sin verse afectados por drogas ilegales, alcohol o el use indebido de sustancias legales en todo momento. Todos los Supervisores y Gerentes reciben una capacitaci6n formal y documentada sobre sospecha razona- ble para ayudar a identificar y manejar situaciones en las que se sospeche el use de sustancias en el trabajo. Cuando se sospecha que un empleado esta bajo la influencia, un supervisor o gerente capacitado colabora con el Gerente de Recursos Humanos para coordinar y escoltar al empleado a una prueba aleatoria de dro- gas y alcohol. Todos los pasos son documentados por el Departamento de Recursos Humanos y los docu- mentos se mantienen en archivos confidenciales de los empleados. Este proceso garantiza que los incidentes se manejen de manera profesional, consistente y de acuerdo con la politica de la empresa para mantener un entorno de trabajo seguro y productive. Las pruebas se realizan en los siguientes casos: preempleo, confir- maci6n de sospecha razonable, incidentes y cuando los conductores comerciales son seleccionados aleato- riamente segun to exige el Departamento de Transporte (DOT). WCA realiza cinco tipos de pruebas de dro- gas y alcohol: Preemaleo - Prueba de drogas de 4 paneles que incluye anfetaminas, opiaceos, metanfetaminas/anfetaminas y metabolito de cocaina. Sospecha razonable - Prueba de alcohol en aliento (BAT) y una prueba de drogas de 5 paneles que incluye marihuana-cannabinoides, anfetaminas, opiaceos, metanfetaminas/anfetaminas y metabolito de cocaina. 25 We follow this training and retraining schedule on a monthly and as needed basis to ensure all personal are up to date with state and region training/re-training guidelines and laws. The Safety & Training Manager will identify trainees in each set of new employees and make arrangements with department management to schedule training. He/She will also identify those existing employees who need retraining. Foreman, Supervisors, Area Managers and/or the Safety & Training Manager is responsible for conducting training. His/Her qualifications include certifications from an entity within the training subject and/or on the job experience. The company training program includes an opportunity for employees to ask questions and receive answers via a physically -present and qualified trainer, e-mail to the Safety & Training Manager, and/or a phone call to the corporate office at (800)521-3714. This allows employees to fully understand the material presented to them. All training and information is provided in a language the trainee will understand. TRAINING CERTIFICATION The Safety & Training Manager is responsible for keeping records certifying each employee who has suc- cessfully completed training. Each certificate may contain all or some of the following: employee name, em- ployee number, date of training, expiration of training, type of training, trainer/evaluator name. SAFETY AND HEALTH RECORDKEEPING To reduce or eliminate employee injuries or illnesses, we are committed to learning from past experience and making corrections for future operations. That is why information is gathered and stored so that control pro- cedures can be instituted to prevent injuries or illnesses from recurring. The records we maintain include the following: PLAN EVALUATION It is inherent that problems may occasionally arise in this written Injury & Illness Prevention Plan. Although we may not be able to eliminate all problems, we try to eliminate as many problems as possible to improve em- ployee protection and encourage safe work practices. By having our Plan Administrator(s) thoroughly evalu- ate and revise our written Injury & Illness Prevention Plan in a timely manner, we can eliminate problems ef- fectively and ensure that our program is appropriate to workplace conditions. At West Coast Arborists, Inc. our program evaluation is performed by our Plan Administrator(s) annually to determine what is working well and what changes, if any, are needed. The evaluation involves reviewing of accidents and injuries of previous year(s), review of company polices, update of any new state and/or federal laws and regulations. APPENDICES We have attached the following documents to this written plan: 1. Job Briefing 2. Crew Evaluation 3. Job Hazard Analysis 4. Incident Report 5. Safety Improvement Plan 6. WCA Workplace Safety Suggestion 7. Using Disposable Respirators 99 Preemaleo DOT - Prueba de drogas de 9 paneles que incluye marihuana-cannabinoides, anfetaminas, opia- ceos, metanfetaminas/anfetaminas, metabolito de cocaina, codeina/morfina, 6-acetilmorfina, hidrocodona/ hidromorfona, oxicodona/oximorfona, fenciclidina y MDMA/MDA. Sosnecha razonable DOT - Prueba de alcohol en aliento (BAT) y una prueba de drogas de 9 paneles que incluye marihuana-cannabinoides, anfetaminas, opiaceos, metanfetaminas/anfetaminas, metabolito de cocai- na, codeina/morfina, 6-acetilmorfina, hidrocodona/hidromorfona, oxicodona/oximorfona, fenciclidina y MDMA/ MDA. Prueba aleatoria DOT - Prueba de alcohol en aliento (BAT) y una prueba de drogas de 9 paneles que incluye marihuana-cannabinoides, anfetaminas, opiaceos, metanfetaminas/anfetaminas, metabolito de cocaina, codei- na/morfina, 6-acetilmorfina, hidrocodona/hidromorfona, oxicodona/oximorfona, fenciclidina y MDMA/MDA. WCA solo utiliza clfnicas autorizadas para realizar las pruebas de drogas y alcohol y cubre todos los costos asociados, incluidas pruebas adicionales en caso de que un empleado impugne los resultados previos. Un empleado que de positivo por drogas Regales o alcohol tiene ciertos derechos, incluyendo el derecho a la confidencialidad de los resultados, el derecho a impugnar o solicitar una nueva prueba y la protecci6n contra discriminaci6n bajo las leyes de discapacidad aplicables si busca tratamiento. Los empleados tienen derecho a conocer y comprender la politica de drogas de WCA y pueden recibir la opci6n de participar en programas de rehabilitaci6n a traves de los Programas de Asistencia al Empleado (EAPs) como alternativa a medidas dis- ciplinarias o despido. Los empleados sindicalizados tienen protecciones adicionales, incluyendo representa- cion durante los procesos disciplinarios. Sin embargo, los empleados generalmente no estan protegidos si se encuentran bajo la influencia en el trabajo o violan la politica de la empresa, y las leyes estatales o locales pueden variar en cuanto al consumo de sustancias fuera del horario laboral. Si un empleado considera que su despido o acci6n disciplinaria fue injusta, puede presentar una queja ante la junta laboral o emprender accio- nes legates. Si un empleado impugna el resultado, se le enviara de nuevo a realizar otra prueba sin costo para el. ENTRENAMIENTO Entrenamiento es uno de los elementos mas importantes del Plan de Prevenci6n porque permite a los em- pleados que aprendan su trabajo apropiadamente, trae nuevas ideas al lugar de trabajo, reforzar las ideas y practicas existentes y pone el programa en acci6n. Todos nuestros empleados, cual incluye Manejadores, Supervisores y Trabajadores estan informados acerca del exito del Programa de Prevenci6n de Lastimaduras y Enfermedades. Ellos comprenden la importancia en establecer y mantener condiciones en seguridad y salud su esfuerzo y su papel es importante. Bajo ninguna circunstancia un empleado no puede trabajar en un trabajo cual requiere entrenamiento hasta que haiga recibido y completado con exito el entrenamiento apropiado. Esto incluye empleados existentes y nuevos. Sin embargo, si un empleado recibe entrenamiento en ciertos temas en los ultimos 3 anos, entrenamiento no sera requerido en esos temas.

They do not protect you against gases and vapors, and they do not provide oxygen. Do not use these respirators to enter closed spaces such as crawlspaces, manholes, underground vaults, or tanks. These respirators do not provide protection in areas where gasoline, oil, pesticides, or other chemicals have been spilled. It takes more effort to breathe through a respirator. It can also increase the risk of heat stress. Take frequent breaks, particularly if you are working in the heat or doing heavy work. If you feel dizzy, faint, lightheaded, nauseous, or become disoriented, tell someone, go to a clean area, remove your respirator, and get medical attention. People with heart conditions or lung disease should consult their doctors before entering contaminated areas or using a respirator. Discard respirator when it becomes more difficult to breathe through it, if the inside becomes dirty, and at least at the end of each day. Verifique que selle bien contra el rostro.

Experience rating is a state -mandated mart rating program established in the California Insurance Code. The specific rules and guidelines are contained in the California Workers'Compensation Experience Rating Plar-1995 (Experience Rating Plan). The primary purpose of experience rating is to reduce workplace injuries by providing a direct financial incentive for workplace safety. To accomplish this goal, the experience rating system compares an employees history of claims against others in its industry that are of similar size. This comparison based on an employer's own claim history is used in determining the premium the employer pays. Experience rating uses past experience to forecast future losses. An increase in an experience modification is not intended to collect additional premium to recoup the cost of claims that were filed in past years. Rather, it uses an individual employees loss history as a predictor of what might be expected in the future. An employer that is experience rated will have an experience modification, which is expressed as a percentage on the bottom of this Experience Rating Form. An experience modification below 100% reflects better than the industry average claim history while an experience modification over 100% reflects worse than the industry average claim history. Insurers must apply the issued experience modification in their premium computation, but can also apply other debits and credits to determine the final premium to be charged. Data Used for Experience Rating and the Experience Period With few exceptions, the payrolls and losses arising from all policies incepting within the experience period as reported by the insurer are used in the calculation of your experience modification. The experience period is defined in the Experience Rating Plan as a 3 -year time period that commences 4 years and 9 months prior and terminates 1 year and 9 months prior to the date for which an experience modification is to be established. The actual experience period used to calculate this experience modification is shown in the heading of the Experience Rating Form. About the Experience Rating Form This form shows the payrolls for each applicable classification and the claims reported by the insurer and used in the experience modification calculation. This data is reported to the WCIRB in accordance with the California Workers' Compensation Uniform Statistical Reporting Plan -1995 (Reporting Plan). The Experience Rating Form is divided into four main sections: Heading, Summary of Payroll and Expected Losses, Summary of Claims and Actual Losses, and Rating Procedure. H a in Your company name, address and other business names that are included on your insurance policy are captured from the policy information page. This section also includes the dale the experience modification is effective and the dale the Experience Rating Form was issued to the insurer. If a previously published experience modification was revised, the rerate number and reason are included in this section. Summary of Payroll and Expected Los es This section reflects the payrolls reported by the insurer for each applicable classification. The payrolls shown reflect audited payrolls, which result from the final audits conducted by the insurer. The expected losses for each classification are derived from the reported payrolls for that classification and the corresponding expected loss rate approved by the California Insurance Commissioner. Your expected excess losses are the portion of the expected losses that is, on average, above the primary threshold (see Summary of Claims and Actual Losses) that applies to your business. Your expected losses and expected excess losses are used to calculate your experience modification. WORBCautornia- Summary of Claims and Actual Losses This section reflects the losses on claims reported by the insurer for each policy included in the experience period. The actual loss shown for each reported claim represents the total incurred loss value of the claim. This includes the actual loss amount paid and, for claims that were open when the loss information was provided, a loss amount reserved by the insurer for future expected loss payments. (Loss adjustment expenses are not included.) The loss amounts generally reflect the insurer's most recently reported valuation of the incurred loss value as required pursuant to the Reporting Plan prior to the effective date of the experience modification. The actual primary loss shown for each claim is the dollar amount of the actual loss of each claim that is used in the experience modification calculation. For most claims, it is the loss amount of each claim up to your primary threshold less $250. (Your primary threshold is shown on the top line of this section and is based on the size of your business as measured by your total expected losses.) If the actual loss of the claim is $250 or less, it is not used in the experience modification calculation. Your actual primary losses are used to calculate your experience modification. Rating Procedure This section reflects the calculation of the experience modification. The rating procedure and the information used in calculating the experience modification are detailed in the Experience Rating Plan. Your experience modification is determined as the ratio of the sum of your actual primary losses and expected excess losses compared to your expected losses. This section also shows the loss -free rating which is the experience modification that would have been calculated if no claims were incurred during the experience period or if the only claims incurred were for $250 or less. When there is only a single claim in the experience period in excess of $250, the experience modification is limited to be no higher than 25 percentage points above the loss -free rating.

CN#RS941666 Workers' Compensation Insurance Rating Bureau AtluN AVWeI Primary tosses tosses 4,214,293 A 3,452,626 03/302023 Calculation of Your Experience Modification This Experience Rating Form provides detailed information about the calculation of your experience modification. Experience rating is a state -mandated merit rating program established in the California Insurance Code. The speck rules and guidelines are contained in the California Workers' Compensation Experience Rating Plan -1995 (Experience Rating Plan). The primary purpose of experience rating is to reduce workplace injuries by providing a direct financial incentive for workplace safety. To accomplish this goal, the experience rating system compares an employer's history of claims against others in its industry that are of similar size. This comparison based on an employer's own claim history is used in determining the premium the employer pays. Experience rating uses past experience to forecast future losses. An increase in an experience modification is not intended to collect additional premium to recoup the cost of claims that were fled in past years. Rather, it uses an individual employer's loss history as a predictor of what might be expected in the future. An employer that is experience rated will have an experience modification, which is expressed as a percentage on the bottom of this Experience Rating Form. An experience modification below 100% reflects better than the industry average claim history while an experience modification over 100% reflects worse than the industry average claim history. Insurers must apply the issued experience modification in their premium computation, but can also apply other debits and credits to determine the final premium to be charged. Data Used for Experience Rating and the Experience Period With few exceptions, the payrolls and losses arising from all policies incepting within the experience period as reported by the insurer are used in the calculation of your experience modification. The experience period is defined in the Experience Rating Pian as a 3 -year time period that commences 4 years and 9 months prior and terminates 1 year and 9 months prior to the date for which an experience modification is to be established. The actual experience period used to calculate this experience modification is shown in the heading of the Experience Rating Form. About the Experience Rating Form This form shows the payrolls for each applicable classification and the claims reported by the insurer and used in the experience modification calculation. This data is reported to the WCIRB in accordance with the California Workers'Compensation Uniform Statistical Reporting Plan -1995 (Reporting Plan). The Experience Rating Forth is divided into four main sections: Heading, Summary of Payroll and Expected Losses, Summary of Claims and Actual Losses, and Rating Procedure. Your company name, address and other business names that are included on your insurance policy are captured from the policy information page. This section also includes the date the experience modification is effective and the date the Experience Rating Form was issued to the insurer. If a previously published experience modification was revised, the rerate number and reason are included in this section. Summary of Payroll and Expected I ossa This section reflects the payrolls reported by the insurer for each applicable classification. The payrolls shown reflect audited payrolls, which result from the final audits conducted by the insurer. The expected losses for each classification are derived from the reported payrolls for that classification and the corresponding expected loss rate approved by the California Insurance Commissioner. Your expected excess losses are the portion of the expected losses that is, on average, above the primary threshold (see Summary of Claims and Actual Losses) that applies to your business. Your expected losses and expected excess losses are used to calculate your experience modification. •W{, RBCalifomia- O 1M. Tw 1p . Summary of Claims and Actual Lo This section reflects the losses on claims reported by the insurer for each policy included in the experience period. The actual loss shown for each reported claim represents the total incurred loss value of the claim. This includes the actual loss amount paid and, for claims that were open when the loss information was provided, a loss amount reserved by the insurer for future expected loss payments. (Loss adjustment expenses are not included.) The loss amounts generally reflect the insurer's most recently reported valuation of the incurred loss value as required pursuant to the Reporting Plan prior to the effective date of the experience modification. The actual primary loss shown for each claim is the dollar amount of the actual loss of each claim that is used in the experience modification calculation. For most claims, it is the loss amount of each claim up to your primary threshold less $250. (Your primary threshold is shown on the top line of this section and is based on the size of your business as measured by your total expected losses.) If the actual loss of the claim is $250 or less, it is not used in the experience modification calculation. Your actual primary losses are used to calculate your experience modification. This section reflects the calculation of the experience modification. The rating procedure and the information used in calculating the experience modification are detailed in the Experience Rating Plan. Your experience modification is determined as the ratio of the sum of your actual primary losses and expected excess losses compared to your expected losses. This section also shows the loss -free rating which is the experience modification that would have been calculated if no claims were incurred during the experience period or if the only claims incurred were for $250 or less. When there is only a single claim in the experience period in excess of $250, the experience modification is limited to be no higher than 25 percentage points above the loss -free rating.

Experience rating is a state -mandated merit rating program established in the California Insurance Code. The specific rules and guidelines are contained in the California Workers' Compensation Experience Rating Plan -1995 (Experience Rating Plan). The primary purpose of experience rating is to reduce workplace injuries by providing a direct financial incentive for workplace safety. To accomplish this goal, the experience rating system compares an employers history of claims against others in Its industry that are of similar size. This comparison based on an employer's own claim history is used in determining the premium the employer pays. Experience rating uses past experience to forecast future losses. An increase in an experience modification is not intended to collect additional premium to recoup the cost of claims that were filed in past years. Rather, it uses an individual employer's loss history as a predictor of what might be expected in the future. An employer that is experience rated will have an experience modification, which is expressed as a percentage on the bottom of this Experience Rating Form. An experience modification below 100% reflects better than the industry average claim history while an experience modification over 100% reflects worse than the industry average claim history. Insurers must apply the issued experience modification in their premium computation, but can also apply other debits and credits to determine the final premium to be charged. Data Used for Experience Rating and the Experience Period With few exceptions, the payrolls and losses arising from all policies incepting within the experience period as reported by the insurer are used in the calculation of your experience modification. The experience period is defined in the Experience Rating Plan as a 3 -year time period that commences 4 years and 9 months prior and terminates 1 year and 9 months prior to the date for which an experience modification is to be established. The actual experience period used to calculate this experience modification is shown in the heading of the Experience Rating Form. About the Experience Rating Form This form shows the payrolls for each applicable classification and the claims reported by the insurer and used in the experience modification calculation. This data is reported to the WCIRB in accordance with the California Workers'Compensation Uniform Statistical Reporting Plan -1995 (Reporting Plan). The Experience Rating Form is divided into four main sections: Heading, Summary of Payroll and Expected Losses, Summary of Claims and Actual Losses, and Rating Procedure. Your company name, address and other business names that are included on your insurance policy are captured from the policy information page. This section also includes the date the experience modification is effective and the date the Experience Rating Forth was issued to the insurer. If a previously published experience modification was revised, the rerate number and reason are included in this section. Summary of Payroll and Expected Losses This section reflects the payrolls reported by the insurer for each applicable classification. The payrolls shown reflect audited payrolls, which result from the final audits conducted by the insurer. The expected losses for each classification are derived from the reported payrolls for that classification and the corresponding expected loss rate approved by the California Insurance Commissioner. Your expected excess losses are the portion of the expected losses that is, on average, above the primary threshold (see Summary of Claims and Actual Losses) that applies to your business. Your expected losses and expected excess losses are used to calculate your experience modification. 7fiORBcalifomia- oepa`...n„re.imvai. Summary of Claims and Actual Losses This section reflects the losses on claims reported by the insurer for each policy included in the experience period. The actual loss shown for each reported claim represents the total incurred loss value of the claim. This includes the actual loss amount paid and, for claims that were open when the loss information was provided, a loss amount reserved by the insurer for future expected loss payments. (Loss adjustment expenses are not included.) The loss amounts generally reflect the insurer's most recently reported valuation of the incurred loss value as required pursuant to the Reporting Plan prior to the effective date of the experience modification. The actual primary loss shown for each claim is the dollar amount of the actual loss of each claim that is used in the experience modification calculation. For most claims, it is the loss amount of each claim up to your primary threshold less $250. (Your primary threshold is shown on the top line of this section and is based on the size of your business as measured by your total expected losses.) If the actual loss of the claim is $250 or less, it is not used in the experience modification calculation. Your actual primary losses are used to calculate your experience modification. Rating Procedure This section reflects the calculation of the experience modification. The rating procedure and the information used in calculating the experience modification are detailed in the Experience Rating Plan. Your experience modification is determined as the ratio of the sum of your actual primary losses and expected excess losses compared to your expected losses. This section also shows the loss -free rating which is the experience modification that would have been calculated if no claims were incurred during the experience period or if the only claims incurred were for $250 or less. When there is only a single claim in the experience period in excess of $250, the experience modification is limited to be no higher than 25 percentage points above the loss -free rating.
