SECTION TWO
AND APPROACH
Athens Services has been providing refuse
removal and recycling services in Southern
California for over 50 years. We are family-
owned and operated, offering a variety of state-
of-the-art services, including automated waste
collection, mixed-waste material recovery and
recycling, green waste recycling, organics
collection and processing, and, of course, street
sweeping services.
Over those last five decades, Athens has grown
to be the largest independent waste company in
• Los Angeles County. Athens is a fourth
generation, family owned business. Three
generations are actively involved in all aspects
of the company's business.
This provides great continuity and commitment that sets Athens apart from its competitors. Our
street sweeping experience dates back to 1987.
Athens has considerable sweeping operations
experience in 15 other nearby cities. Details
regarding our sweeping experience can be
found in Section Six.
We at Athens Services value greatly our
reputation as a responsible corporate citizen,
caring employer and conscientious neighbor.
We maintain good relations from a contractual
compliance perspective, of course, but we take
our relations with our communities a step
further.
•
It is important for us to sustain a relationship with the
communities in which our employees, clients and
• customers reside. Through our participation in
charitable causes, we have gained valuable insight
into the needs and concerns of the communities we
service.

services to dozens of schools and over 300 other local
charitable organizations on a daily basis at a
significantly reduced rate. This is only one example
of Athens" community outreach efforts in the

Summary
As a true entrepreneur, Ron Arakelian, Sr., began with a vision over a half-century ago. From
small beginnings, he led Athens to become one of the nation's leading solid waste management
and street sweeping service companies. From their first municipal contract, the Athens District
in Los Angeles, the company has grown through acquisition and competitive bidding. Ron
instilled in the Athens organization a desire to be the best. His sons, Ron, Jr. and Michael,
embrace the same goals and ideals. In recent years, Ron Arakelian III joined the team and
together they are all dedicated to maintaining Athens as an industry leader.
As they have always done, the members of the Arakelian family will be very involved in the
process of earning the award of an agreement with the City of Rosemead and will continually be
involved as we begin a long history of service to the City. To that end we have already driven
virtually every street, noting important topographical and environmental factors.
E
We have extensive experience in all aspects of
street sweeping, including working closely with
all City departments, especially the Police
Department. Our proposal describes in great
detail our plan for exceeding the City's
requirements based on what we have learned.
Additionally, we also provide trash collection
and recvcling services to the Rosemead Unified
School District.
Simply put, there is no other company in Southern California that will provide the City of
Rosemead better or more cost effective service. Period.

Athens Servilces
° SECTION THREE
WORKPLAN
i
Athens street sweeping team will develop one-on-one communications with all City contacts to
ensure communication between both parties and virtually guarantee that service related issues are
resolved immediately.
By teaming up with the Public Works Department we have been able to increase the quality of
our services within the community. Drivers at Athens, our first line of defense, are outfitted with
brooms and shovels to use in case of access issues relating to street sweeping. Athens drivers are
also trained to communicate with their supervisor to report all issues that affect the effective
sweeping of their route. Low hanging trees, pot holes, and uneven blacktop are reported to the
supervisor who then relays that information to the city. Constant communication between the
city and Athens ensures that all curbs, gutters and medians are swept to the expectations of the
city.
Athens will utilize the Teletrac Fleet Director GPS system to monitor the day to day operation of
the sweepers. Teletrac will monitor all aspects of the sweepers operation from the brooms up or
• down to speed and direction. Teletrac has many features to help better manage street sweeping
by teal-time tracking of all vehicles in the fleet from the computer desktop. Some advantages of
this system are:
➢ Powerful software configuration options that allow immediate customization such as setting
up authorized and unauthorized zones and times and vehicle speeds to trigger exception
alerts and reports. (As an example, exception alerts and reports tell us when the driver
exceeds 6 MPH or is stopped longer than 30 minutes.)
State of the art, integrated mapping with satellite images and overlays of routes and
destinations providing unprecedented detail for avoiding errors.
➢ Detailed reporting to help monitor driver performance, vehicle use, and productivity.
➢ Teletrac Fleet Director confirms that 100% of each route is completed each day.
Athens will also perform a low hanging tree audit for the
city to help in their management of tree trimmings. This
not only helps the City but eliminates the complaints that
may arise from the ability to sweep under low hanging
trees. An often over-looked area of driver training is how
to deal with mature trees and other obstacles.
We service many cities with mature trees, such as San
Marino and South Pasadena, and we work closely with
these cities to make sure that we do not damage these
wonderful resources. The end result is a better service for
your community.
• We have provided a description of a typical day of the sweeper. We realize that seasonal
changes will change debris volume, and have built in enough capacity to adapt to these
fluctuations. By including these, we can clearly demonstrate that we understand how to provide
the services that meet the customers' expectations and the requirements set forth by the City of
Rosemead for service by Athens Services beginning on Day One.

4P SECTION FOUR
METHODOLOGY
In order to best demonstrate that we have a good understanding of the scope of the work,
described below is an overview illustrating our understanding and commitment to the task at
hand. Our expertise extends far beyond the mere sweeping of the City's streets and we will
bring to bear our variety of experiences that include assisting the City in meeting recycling
mandates, delivering good customer service to the citizens, and producing and delivering
effective public education materials.
Operations
Athens Services will provide street sweeping services to meet or exceed the requirements set
forth by the RFP, including the fact that our drivers will respond to calls within 30 minutes.
• Understanding the Scope of Work
• Athens Services has carefully reviewed all the Rosemead City Sweeping RFP materials
thoroughly. We conducted a physical review of all the streets, and this information has been
entered into our routing data base, and can ensure that we will comply with the City of
Rosemead sweeping schedule.
• We will obtain all City licenses/permits/bonds required, once the contract has been awarded.
• We will sweep the entire length of all curbs,
(including median curbs and curb returns),
uncurbed pavement edges, painted (2-way)
left turn lanes and flush concrete paved
medians and median noses every time each
associated street is swept. The entire area of
each intersection will be swept. The
balance of each street shall be swept as
needed and no debris shall be left any place
on the street. We will make as many passes
as is required to deliver high-quality results.
0
Sweeping Methodology
• • Sweep/clean all leaves, paper, dirt, rocks, glass, bottles, cans, and other debris from paved
alleys (where required), and curbed medians within the specified areas on the agreed
schedule.
It is always our preference to hire drivers who have familiarity with the City. In the event
such drivers are not available, sweeping will be conducted by trained, experienced drivers
whose duties will include but not be limited to; sweeping all residential streets at a rate of 6
miles per hour and cross walks at 3 miles an hour at each side of all streets adjacent and
parallel to the curb face including curb returns and cross gutters at all intersecting streets.
• We will avoid damaging the City's traffic counters. If damage does occur, we will bear the
cost of repair and/or replacement.
• Median sweeping - In areas where raised medians are present, the driver will sweep each side
of median adjacent and parallel to median curb face.
• Alley sweeping - (Where required) We will sweep each side of the alley adjacent and to the
right of the flow line of the alley at a speed that produces excellent results.
• Parking lot sweeping - All specified
parking lots will be swept weekly on the
scheduled day at a proper speed to insure
• the highest quality results.
• Athens employees will conduct all
activities and operations within the
confines of public roadways and will not
enter private property for any reason
without written permission from the
owner.
We will make as many passes as is required to deliver high-quality results. In the unlikely
occurrence of a request from the City to re-sweep an area, we will do within 24 hours.
Equipment & Resources
Equipment used to conduct sweeping operation will consist of Tymeo Regenerative Air
(600 BAH) sweepers which will be used in conjunction with spraying of water to minimize
unsettling dust. Furthermore, our drivers will be supplied with manual push brooms and
shovels to clean/sweep areas such as narrow cul-de-sacs, median noses and portions of left-
turn pockets.
• Athens will have installed on all of their sweepers in Rosemead, the most technologically
advanced GPS monitoring system, known as the Teletrac Fleet Director System. This
• system tracks all miles that are swept in the city with the broom heads down and water on
and provides a variety of reports and information, including live real-time tracking.
• Athens will utilize the Teletrac Fleet Director GPS System to monitor the day to day
operation of the sweepers. Teletrac will monitor all aspects of the sweepers operation from
• the brooms up or down to speed and direction. Teletrac has many features to help better
manage street sweeping by teal-time tracking of all vehicles in the fleet from the computer
desktop. Some advantages of this system are:
➢ Powerful software configuration options that allow immediate customization such as
setting up authorized and unauthorized zones and times and vehicle speeds to trigger
exception alerts and reports. (As an example, exception alerts and reports tell us when
the driver exceeds 6 MPH or is stopped longer than 30 minutes.)
State of the art, integrated mapping with satellite images and overlays of routes and
destinations providing unprecedented detail for avoiding errors.
Detailed reporting to help monitor driver performance, vehicle use, and productivity.
Teletrac Fleet Director confirms that 100% of each route is completed each day.
Detailed documentation on the system can be found in Section Ten of this proposal.
• If necessary we will equip the drivers with a small blower for blowing debris to be picked up
by the sweeper truck.
• Our sweepers will be equipped with 2-way radios and cell phones. We will be able to
monitor speeds, hours of operation, and brush operation for reporting purposes.
• • We have a pool of experienced sweeper drivers that are cross trained to ensure service
consistency for vacations, jury duty, sick days, etc.
• We have redundancies in back up equipment, and operate other sweeper routes that can be
utilized in case of break down or delays.
• Athens Services shall provide all primary street sweepers
with a Global Positioning System that enables viewing via
Q computer Internet where the sweepers are at all times.
• We will have signs placed on all of our vehicles which shall
include any information requested by the City.
• We will be using new Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) sweepers and the manufacturer's
specifications are described in Section Ten.
Disposal Process
• Athens Services will dispose of all refuse and debris at our Material Recovery Facility
• located at 14048 Valley Blvd., City of Industry. This will allow us to achieve the required
85% diversion as delineated in the City's RFP.
Communication and City Relations
• Athens Services shall assign Cesar Ortiz, our most experienced Street Sweeping Area
Supervisor, to oversee sweeper operation and communicate all conditions and issues with
Contract Manager as soon as condition is identified. Such issues will include but not be
limited to fallen trees, obstructed roadways or alleys, low overhanging branches, abandoned
vehicles and large potholes. The sweeper drivers will utilize Nextel digital radio to
communicate any of these issues to their supervisor.
• Athens Services shall assign Tommy Ouzoonian, a street sweeping industry veteran, to work
with the City to prepare public awareness materials and communicate with the City's
residents, businesses, and Chamber of Commerce.
• As one of the largest waste haulers in Southern California, Athens Services recognizes the
importance of effectively working with the street sweeper to ensure effective trash and
sweeping services. Athens street sweeping team will develop one-on-one communications
with the solid waste supervisors to ensure communication between all parties. This allows a
line of communication to ensure that any service related issues are resolved immediately.
• Maintenance of Equipment
We maintain adequate equipment inventory so that rare equipment failures are quickly addressed
by dispatching spare equipment to the scene where necessary. As mentioned earlier, we
maintain a pool of spare drivers which assures that we will always have the necessary manpower
to complete each day's assignments.
Every Athens truck is inspected a minimum of
twice per day; each driver performs a pre-trip
and post-trip daily. The inspection is
documented on a Driver Vehicle Inspection
Report (DVIR); the 3-part form is distributed
daily to the fleet maintenance supervisor, the
route supervisor, and the truck file. Any
necessary repairs are completed that night, or
the truck is replaced by a spare truck until the
repairs are completed. The maintenance group maintains a regular preventative maintenance
schedule for all trucks to ensure maximum up (operating) time.
Just in case, shop road crews are staffed during all operating hours to ensure that any mechanical
problem or breakdown can be attended quickly. All employees have Nextel digital radios to
• maintain contact with operations. All road crew trucks are equipped with the tools and parts
necessary to mitigate "down time."
In order to ensure there is an ample pool of qualified employees to manage a large service area,
driver trainees are hired and trained on the use of all vehicles and moved to a permanent driving
• position based upon completion of all training, comfort level in their position, qualifications, etc.
The foundation of the maintenance process at Athens Services is the preventive maintenance
program. Athens has reduced the B.I.T. service interval of the standard 90 day inspection down
to 30 day intervals. The preventive maintenance program service intervals are noted below:
Service Type Interval
PM - A 30-Days
PM-13 60-Days
PM - C 360-Days
PM-0 360 - Days
Description
Inspection of all "out-of-service" criteria, lubrication
PM - A, plus oil and filters
PM - A and B, plus engine tune up, transmission,
differential, and hydraulic system service
Opacity Test
The routine and daily maintenance activities in a typical Athens maintenance department are
managed by a staff that includes but is not limited to; Maintenance Manager, Day Shift
Supervisor, Night Shift Supervisor, Parts Clerk, and Shop Administrator. The management
group's main items of focus are:
Department scheduling - matching available headcount to equipment availability
Repair scheduling - Preventive Maintenance Inspections, Road calls, and Daily Repair
Work
• Inventory / repair controls - Ensure that expenses are charged to the proper unit and
system allowing system and / or unit analysis and proper corrective action
Mechanic Training
• Annual brake training (air brakes)
• Tire service training
• Monthly safety (meetings and training)
Proper management of the focus areas ensure that all Athens Services vehicles meet or exceed all
Federal, State and Local mechanical and safety requirements.
Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIR):
The maintenance department at Athens Services utilizes a truck to mechanic / welder ratio of
approximately 8 to 1 to ensure that we are adequately staffed to handle repair work that is
generated from driver's vehicle inspection(s). The D.V.I.R. process requires that the driver
conduct a thorough pre-trip / post-trip inspection and provide the maintenance supervisor a copy
of his report (day shift and night shift supervisors are on duty and drivers are aware that they are
available for direct communication). The maintenance supervisor assesses the repair priority
(Priority #l, #2, or #3), determines if the vehicle requires immediate attention, and delegates the
repair to a mechanic or welder of an adequate skill level to complete the needed repair.
•
DVIR Process
1. Driver completes pre-trip / post-trip inspection
2. Driver provides a copy of the DVIR to the maintenance supervisor
3. Shop Supervisor discusses any noted defects with the driver to obtain a clear
understanding of the repairs required
4. Shop Supervisor prioritizes the required repairs and assesses the required technician skill
level
5. Shop Supervisor generates a repair order and delegates the repair to the appropriate
technician
6. Technician completes the required repairs, signs off on the repair order, and DVIR prior
to turning the paperwork into the Shop Supervisor
7. Shop Supervisor signs off on the repair and closes it out in E.M.S. (Equipment
Maintenance System)
o Shop Supervisor conducts random quality assurance inspections to evaluate
technician repair quality
8. Maintenance Manager reviews the completed repair orders the following morning
Trainine and Safet
Our drivers are well trained to begin with, of course, but we take training even further by
maintaining a weekly schedule of ongoing training in the proper operation of the equipment,
• proper safety techniques, and keep them current with any new pertinent information affecting
their work. Drivers are trained to make as many passes as is required to deliver high-quality
results. They are all professionally uniformed, name-tag-identified, licensed, insured, and are
skilled and experienced and will report any extraordinary service situations including low
hanging tree limbs or other obstructions that prevent normal sweeping operations.
In order to ensure there is an ample pool of qualified employees to manage a large service area,
driver trainees are hired and trained on the use of all vehicles and moved to a permanent driving
position based upon completion of all training, comfort level in their position, qualifications, etc.
Athens Services is committed to providing a safe and healthy
work environment for our employees, citizens, and anyone who
may be affected by the service that Athens Services will be
providing. Athens Services initiates and maintains complete
accident prevention and safety programs. Each individual from
top management to the working person is responsible for the
health and safety of those persons in their charge and co-
workers around them.
By accepting mutual responsibility to operate safely, everyone
contributes to the well-being of all personnel. Each employee is
given a safety orientation by their supervisor or lead personnel
prior to the start of work.
The orientation covers a variety of items such as programs mandated by CAL-OSHA (Hazard
communication, injury and illness prevention program, etc.), accident prevention, etc.
Our street sweepers driving records are impeccable and there have been no significant claims or
incidents. We are enrolled in the DMV Pull Notice Program which notifies us of any incidents
that impact the driver's licenses of our staff. Additionally, our street sweeping fleet has no issues
or citations from CAL-OSHA.
Customer Service
Another important aspect of Athens is outstanding Customer Service. Some key points are:
➢ Our toll-free number is (888) 336-6100.
LIVE Telephone coverage begins at 7:00 a.m., six days a week.
24 hour Message system

Athens owns and operates an IBM AS400 main frame
computer system to process customer inquiries. After an
extensive study and development effort, Athens uses custom
designed software applications to ensure efficient service.
All Customer Service Representatives are "on-line" and have
immediate access to each customer's service information.
Our customer service representatives are fluent in English and
0

RELATED EXPERIENCE
Athens Services has been providing street sweeping services for over 23 Years. Currently, 15
municipalities in Orange and Los Angeles Counties have made the decision to have their street
sweeping services managed by Athens Services and they are glad they did. Most of these
contracts are long-term agreements demonstrating that the jurisdictions want us to continue to
provide high quality, cost effective service!
As an overview, we currently have exclusive service agreements for street sweeping with the
municipalities illustrated below.

When it comes to street and
parking lot sweeping, Athens
has unmatched dedication,
resources, and success in Los
Angeles County. Our
experience in street sweeping
began in 1987 in the City of
Temple City, a contract that we still service today. Since that time, we have added more cities
because we clearly understand how to deliver high quality street sweeping services.
The transition "hand-oft" from one sweeping company to another is a large concern for most
cities. We understand this concern and we also know how to get it done effectively. The
transition process requires excellent planning, great communication, and a contractor like Athens
Services that has the resources, commitment, and knowledge to make a seamless transition.
No other Los Angeles County company has more experience in
implementing different types of refuse collector and sweeper
transition situations than Athens Services. Our depth of
experience ranges from successful acquisitions of other waste
haulers to the implementation of large transfers of sweeping
services from municipal services to Athens Services.
Listed below are some recent examples of our successful street sweeping transitions:
City of Placentia
City of Pomona
City of Glendora
City of Irwindale
provides street sweeaina services to
residents and businesses
Angeles and Orange Counties.
0 communications on a daily basis.
As requested by the City, specific information regarding each contract follows below. In regard
to the request for the names of the Contract Director and management team that manages each
contract, (with the exception of San Fernando which is managed out of our Sun Valley Division),
all of the contracts are managed by the team described earlier in our proposal. This team has
many years of experience and has clearly been successful in keeping our municipal clients very
happy.
To deliver locally personalized results, each City has an Area Supervisor assigned that follows
up on activities on a daily basis. The Area Supervisor has a relationship with City Staff in their
respective cities and conveys information to our management team through verbal and written
r~
U
We are aware of the City's concerns regarding
special event sweeping and our proposal takes those
events into consideration in the areas of both costing
and implementation.
In Temple City, our experience in handling special
event sweeping dates back over 23 years and
includes several City events including the well-
known 3-day Camelia Festival.

Fj
There are a myriad of other special events in our cities,
such as the Azusa Golden Days Festival and the
renown Wisteria Festival in Sierra Madre annual
festivals. Athens experience includes providing street
and parking lot sweeping, trash collection and
recycling, as well as supplying cities with event boxes.

The City of Glendora has contracted with Athens Services since December 1, 2006 for
street sweeping services. They have operated this service with the same high level of
professional and customer service standards that they are known for with their solid
waste services.
Our streets are cleaned on a regular schedule and we receive substantially less complaints
now than when we did the service with our own crews. Additionally, the savings from
contracting with Athens has been remarkable for our financial bottom line. Their
management team is very responsive and they an willing to work with us on any issues
• or suggestions that we may have.
I would recommend any city considering contracting out street sweeping or seeking bids
to give the strongest consideration to Athens Services' proposal. 1 am sure you will not
be disappointed in a decision to bring Athens Services on board.
If you should have any questions, please feel free to call me at (626) 9148201.

This letter is to provide reference information for Athens Services. The City of

sweeping services provided by Athens Services in September of 2009.
We have found Athens Services to consistently perform their duties with the utmost
of professionalism. Every step of the transition has been smooth and effective.
From route planning to customer service we are overwhelmingly pleased with the
performance of Athens staff and equipment.

RE: Letter of Recommendation
To Whom It May Concern
it is with pleasure I write this letter of recommendation for Athens Services. Athens Services has
provided outstanding street sweeping services for the past 6 years. Furthermore, Athens was
instrumental in a seamless transition from bi-weekly to weekly street sweeping. In order to
execute this change, there were various proposals considered that required significant logistical
analysis, so the changes in place would have minimal impact on our residents' parking
convenience. We signed residential streets and created a partnership between our Police
Department and Athens' to ensure consistency in this politically sensitive transition.
Athens is responsive and provides timely resolutions to resident complaints and special request
from the City.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at 626-812-5248

RECYCLING AND DISPOSAL
To assure maximum diversion, Athens Services will be transporting the sweeping debris we
collect to the processing facility we own that is located on 15 acres at 14048 E. Valley
Boulevard, in unincorporated Los Angeles County near the City of Industry. The 175,000-
square-foot facility is a computer-controlled, state-of-the-art plant designed specifically for the
processing of municipal solid waste.
The Athens Services MRF in Industry includes:
➢ A dedicated computer local area network (LAN) for control of plant operations and recording
of all materials received and shipped from the facility.
➢ A 127,000-square-foot tipping and transfer area, providing space for reception of incoming
solid waste for processing and efficient transfer of residue from the recovery process.
➢ Three automated Mayfran and Krause conveyor lines, providing for mechanized and manual
materials recovery in three major sorting areas in the 48,000-square-foot recovery area.
➢ A Bulk Handling Systems bag ripper for presentation of materials enclosed in trash bags.
➢ Three MillPower, Inc., vibrating sizing screens for size-classifying processed materials.
➢ A Bollegraaf Recycling Machinery automatic 100-horsepower single-ram baler and feed
conveyor system.
➢ An enclosed 8-spot loading dock for protection and shipping of baled recyclable materials.
➢ Five Caterpillar wheel loaders, three Linde fork trucks, and two Northshore Manufacturing
cranes for materials handling and residue transfer.
One Ptarmigan Machinery "Super-Ptarmigan" conveyor line for the recovery of bulky/dense
materials, our Construction and Demolition debris line.
➢ Fully automated truck scales, combined with a data collection system to track all materials
entering and leaving the facility.
A unique computer-controlled odor-control system that combines neutralization of odors
with organic enzymes, adsorption of odors by activated carbon, and an exhaust ventilation
system that maintains a negative pressure on industrial areas of the building, to greatly
reduce the potential for trash odors to escape the facility.

EQUIPMENT
Athens will be using Tymco Regenerative Air (600 BAH) sweepers which will be used in
conjunction with spraying of water to minimize unsettling dust. These vehicles will be less than
three years of age, as specified by the RFP, and will be maintained in good repair, appearance,
and sanitary conditions.
Specific detailed information regarding our maintenance program can be found in Section Four,
Methodology.
•
Athens will have installed on all
of their sweepers in Rosemead,
the most technologically
advanced GPS monitoring
system, known as the Teletrac
Fleet Director System. Teletrac
monitors all aspects of the
sweepers operation from the
brooms up or down to speed and
direction.
Teletrac has many features to help better manage street sweeping by teal-time tracking of all
vehicles in the fleet from the computer desktop. Some advantages of this system are:
Powerful software configuration options that allow immediate customization such as
setting up authorized and unauthorized zones and times and vehicle speeds to trigger
exception alerts and reports. (As an example, exception alerts and reports tell us when
the driver exceeds 6 MPH or is stopped longer than 30 minutes.)
➢ State of the art, integrated mapping with satellite images and overlays of routes and
destinations providing unprecedented detail for avoiding errors.
Detailed reporting to help monitor driver performance, vehicle use, and productivity.
> Teletrac Fleet Director confirms that 100% of each route is completed each day.
Manufacturer's specification data for our vehicles and the Teletrac system is provided for your

• IT.M....TYMCO Alternative
Fuel Powered Sweepers:
Environmentally Superior Cleaning
With the ever growing need to
address environmental concerns and
to meet Federal, State and Municipal
air quality requirements, there has
been an increasing demand for fleets
to add more low emission alternative-
fuel vehicles (AFVs). TYMCO has
been manufacturing alternative
fuel sweepers since 1984. This
experience, coupled with our well
known reputation for reliability and
productivity make TYMCO Alt Fuel
sweepers the smart choice. These low
emission vehicles, when combined
with our proven Regenerative Air
System, offer the highest degree
of cleaning power available on the
market today; while at the same
time maintaining and improving the
environment.
TYMCO currently offers two forms
• of alternative fuel for the Model
600: Dedicated CNG (Compressed
Natural Gas) and Dedicated LPG
(Liquefied Petroleum Gas) - propane,
which allows both the sweeper and
the chassis engines operate on
alternative fuel.
Street sweepers must be
maneuverable in order to get to those
hard-to-reach areas. The TYMCO
engineered and manufactured
alternative fuel powered chassis is TYMCO Model 600-LPG
designed to provide maximum fuel (Propane)
capacity on the shortest wheelbase
available. TYMCO has accomplished this by designing a CNG fuel storage rack system and
LPG tank that require minimal additional wheelbase, resulting in the tightest turning radius
possible; all while providing maximum rear view visibility.
Both the CNG and LPG fuel storage areas are designed to be user friendly. Quick access for
fueling, system shut-off valves and pressure reading make the operators job easier and safer.
The large capacity CNG fuel storage cylinders are enclosed for protection, and the enclosure
roof is angled and sloped to allow for low hanging tree limbs. Both the CNG and LPG fuel
storage areas are mounted in such a way as to allow for maximum sweeper operation
Utilizing the very latest advancements in technology, TYMCO alternative-fuel powered
sweepers are specifically engineered to provide the highest degree of performance, safety,
and simplicity.

Scope
This intent of this document is to provide an overview of the items that will be contained in FD6 phase 1.
Overview
Traditionally, Teletrac customers accessed eClient-5.4.3 (E50) and earlier-by loading the software to a
computer workstation. With FD6, the next generation of eClient. customers are not limited to using only
workstations that have eClient software loaded. FD6 takes a technological leap by leveraging the power and
convenience of the web. Teletrac customers can access Fleet Director from any computer with a web connection.

Athens Services
ta_-M- 41-n.. -cft_ Y..f . SECTION TWELVE
N
Our government affairs management team has extensive experience in producing the materials
that help facilitate seamless transitions. This group's role will be to prepare the citizens and
business owners of Rosemead for the change to Athens Services and educate them on the
importance and value of street sweeping services.
We will work directly with City staff to develop a comprehensive educational program that will
be presented to the residents via mailings and in the local newspapers.
Specifically, our plan is as follows:
• A custom-designed brochure will be mailed to
residents and businesses which will have the annual
sweeping schedule.
• Advertising will be set in the local newspapers,
notifying residents of the sweeping schedule.
• Our customer service group will be prepared to
patiently walk customers through the changes.
• An Athens supervisor will be in the field to meet
personally with customers whenever necessary.
• If the City so requests, we will set up our information booth at City events to meet, greet, and
inform the residents about the importance of street sweeping.
The pages that follow show examples of public awareness and education materials that we have
designed and published in the past for the Cities of Placentia and South Pasadena.

Additionally, the City can expect that once service starts, we will have a page on our website
dedicated to the City of Rosemead which will have the schedule and maps readily available for
the City's residents to access, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year!
The San Gabriel link on the next page is provided to preview what that information might look
like. We welcome the City's input and will seek City approval before any material is published.
Please feel free to visit our website and learn more about Athens Services!

Our Solution To Beach Pollution
March 10, 2010
Mr. Chris Marcarello
Deputy Director
City of Rosemead
8838 East Valley Blvd.
Rosemead, CA 91770
Mr. Marcarello,
We would like to introduce ourselves, and offer to provide street sweeping services as you have
outlined in your RFP. Our company, the R.F. Dickson Co., Inc., is a "fourth" generation 60 year
old family business, specializing in Contract Municipal Street Sweeping, for Cities, Counties,
and State agencies.
We have been providing continuous street sweeping service to the Cities of Lakewood, La
Mirada, Artesia, and the County of Los Angeles since 1964, and many more for more than 30
years. We have also worked with Caltrans, and ADOT (Arizona Department of Transportation),
sweeping the State highways from California to New Mexico, and from Utah down to Tucson.
Beginning in 2001 working with both AQMD for funding, and Tymco the street sweeper
manufacture, we helped to design the latest in CNG powered street sweepers. In 2002 we
designed and built our own CNG fleet fueling facility that is now used by 8 cities, and 5 school
districts, along with other private and public fleets.
We currently operate one of the newest AQMD 1186.1 compliant fleet, and have received (4)
more new CNG powered Tymco 600 Street Sweepers from our ongoing deliveries that would be
available for the City of Rosemead under this RFP.
Mr. Marcarello, we look forward to working with you, your City Council, and the residents of
the City of Rosemead. Should you have any questions, or if we can help in any way, please do
not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
Steve Dickson

Background & Approach
R.F. Dickson Co., Inc. is located at 12524 Columbia Way. in the City of Downey, CA we have
served in the street sweeping industry since 1950. We are proud of our 60 years of service, and
four generations of a family owned business.
In 1958, we received the first municipal street sweeping contract to take over city services in
California, and since have operated throughout the state, currently supplying service to 26 public
agencies.
In 1964, we received our first street sweeping contracts with the County of Los Angeles, and the
cities of Lakewood, La Mirada, and Artesia and are proud to say; our continuous high level of
service is still being provided.
In 1980, the State of Arizona granted the largest contract in the state for sweeping to our
company. This contract was with the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). We have
also owned and operated a heavy equipment company throughout the State of Texas for many
years. We have worked directly with the sweeper manufacturers, designing and developing the
latest in sweeping equipment.
Beginning in 1999, we started to develop our first CNG regional fueling station to be used by our
company and other public and private fleets. Our new CNG station came on line in 2002, and
was in conjunction with the implementation of the new AQMD 1186.1 Fleet Rules regarding the
use of alternative fuels for the street sweepers we were to use in these contracts.
This proposed Sweeping Contract we are bidding on is well within our capabilities. We will
supply the highest-level professional service to the City of Rosemead.

Background
' CleanStreet began providing street sweeping services to the city of Rolling Hills Estates
in 1973 and to the city of Manhattan Beach in 1975.
Manhattan Beach has a time-posted street sweeping schedule, steep and narrow
streets and alleys, tremendous traffic congestion, demanding residents and, from time
t to time, large quantities of windblown sand. These difficult conditions presented an
ideal opportunity for CleanStreet to grow and develop our expertise and methods.
' We grew very slowly but as we grew, we developed our expertise on a wide variety of
issues encountered in a multitude of cities.
Through this period,
t ➢ We developed effective training procedures
We developed an efficient protocol for supervision and quality control
' ➢ We mastered street sweeper maintenance and repairs
➢ We built a deep resource base
' As word spread of our expertise and the dependability and professionalism of our staff,
municipalities with difficult sweeping circumstances and high expectations sought to
' contract with CleanStreet.
Today, CleanStreet is the premier provider of high-quality street sweeping service with
' an unparalleled reputation for quality, dependability and courtesy. We proudly and
successfully serve more than 60 discriminating municipalities in California.

METHODOLOGY
I
Introduction
The primary objective of the City's street sweeping program is to remove all trash,
including, but not limited to, paper, glass, bottles, cans, litter, dirt, sand, silt, small rocks,
' and other debris, to maintain the streets in a state of cleanliness. The ultimate goal is to
significantly reduce the amount of trash and debris that would eventually reach the
ocean.
t Over the past several decades, CleanStreet has established and perfected methods for
' achieving and maintaining these goals. We have found that if we adhere to this proven
methodology, we can provide high-quality service and at the same time virtually
eliminate complaints and leave your staff free to deal with other matters. This is the key
I to our success
The following is a list of the most important components of our methodology.
' Operator Training
' CleanStreet employs more than 70 well-trained municipal street sweeper operators,
who are proficient in all aspects of operating and adjusting the Tymco 600 Air Sweeper.
' Our operators understand the relationship between rear engine speed and ground
speed, and are able to adjust these, along with the gutter brooms and pick-up heads, to
' optimize the performance of the sweeper.
Further, the operators that we assign to the City of Rosemead have extensive
experience sweeping municipalities.
Operator Instructions
Our operators will be instructed to thoroughly sweep each and every street. They will
have clear instructions to take additional passes as necessary to accomplish that goal.
' We expect our operators to take great pride not only in their work, but also in the City's
satisfaction with their performance. We want our operators to feel that they are an
important part of Rosemead.

Operator Safety
1 CleanStreet insists that our operators be courteous and patient with motorists. All street
sweepers shall travel with the direction of traffic. We also monitor our operators' driving
1 records with DMV Pull Notices.
We celebrate and reward the quality of our operators' performance at our annual
1 Awards Banquet.
1 Permanent Operator Assignment
We ensure the quality of our work by making operator route assignments permanent.
This allows our operators to become intimately familiar with the idiosyncrasies and
1 special requirements of their route. We only change our operators when it is absolutely
necessary.
1 Back-up Operators
We have back-up operators on standby at all times. The large size of our workforce
1 ensures that there. will never be a shortage of sweeper operators, and the City of
Rosemead will not suffer an interruption in service.
1 Consistent Supervision
We will have a veteran municipal street sweeping supervisor continually monitor
1 operator performance. Supervisors and foremen communicate effectively, both in
written and oral English, and are present at all times during contract operations.
1 Consistent Schedule
In our experience, we have found that one of the most important things to residents is
1 consistency. For example, residents like to know when the sweeper is coming so they
can move or re-park a vehicle.
1
1
1
1

Sweeping on an alternating or random sequence frustrates residents. By adopting the
City's present schedule exactly, and then maintaining it perpetually, we can minimize
our impact on residents.

Dispatch Staff
' The nerve center of CleanStreet is the dispatch department. We have two highly-
trained and experienced dispatchers available at all times to handle your calls. They
are authorized to take whatever steps necessary to handle any issues quickly and
1 professionally.
1 Quality Equipment
We will be using four Tymco 600 Air Sweepers to maintain the streets of Rosemead.
We will maintain additional back-up equipment at strategic locations to be used if
1 necessary.
1 All sweepers are powered by alternate fuel and fully compliant with SCAQMD Rule
1186.1 and SCAQMD Rule 1186. Our sweepers will be kept clean and professional in
appearance, and will be maintained in optimal operating condition and adjustment at all
' times.
1 Sweeper Maintenance and Repair

in Gardena.

extensive inventory of parts and supplies on hand to minimize maintenance and repair
delays.
Monthly Reporting / Meetings
At CleanStreet, we believe that high-quality communication is the key to maintaining
high-quality service. We accomplish this through careful documentation. We create
monthly reports to track our performance, and hold a monthly meeting if there are
issues to resolve.

1 Parking Enforcement
We have a great deal of experience sweeping streets that are posted with "No Parking"
1 time zones. We understand the importance of sweeping these streets within the
specified time.
1 We also understand that courteous cooperation and a healthy working relationship
between sweeper operators and parking enforcement officers is important to smooth,
1 efficient operation.
CleanStreet has extensive experience sweeping alternate-side posting in the beach
1 communities of Hermosa and Manhattan Beach. We know that it is imperative to
maintain a firm schedule for sweeping of posted streets in order to coordinate with
parking control officers from Rosemead's Police Department. Starting and stopping
1 points will be maintained to ensure complete cooperation with the parking enforcement
personnel.
1 Water
CleanStreet will be issued water meters, which will be used when filling equipment from
1 the City's fire hydrants. CleanStreet will be responsible for the deposit required to
obtain the water meters, and all charges associated with the use of the City's water.
1 Debris
A clean street means minimal debris - residual or tailings. Sweepers will not blow
1 debris onto private property nor drain any water from the hopper onto the street. All
materials collected by CleanStreet's operation in the City of Rosemead will be
1 transported to and dumped in a legally established landfill or a transfer station which
recycles it.
1 Hydraulic Spills
CleanStreet will make every effort to prevent hydraulic leaks. Any leaks that do occur
1 will be reported to the City immediately, and the affected areas will be pressure washed.
CleanStreet will collect all of the gray water and properly dispose of it in our clarifier.

' CleanStreet will store its sweepers (and other equipment necessary for the performance
of this contract) in the City of Rosemead's corporation yard in a neat and orderly

clean condition after use.

Global Positioning System (GPS)
CleanStreet equips all of its sweepers with a global positioning satellite (GPS) system
from @Road. This data is monitored in real time by CleanStreet's dispatchers. This
permits CleanStreet to monitor the drivers' speed, time, and location.
Our operations analyst downloads the GPS reports from the internet daily. Additionally,
the real-time system alerts our managers via e-mail if the brooms are down a half hour
or longer, or if the sweeper exceeds its speed limit. In this case, there will be
communication between either the manager or the dispatcher and the sweeper via cell
phone to ensure proper action is taken.
Authorized public works employees can generate and print GPS reports at any time.
Data is available for six months and can be downloaded in Excel document format.
Emergency Sweeping
CleanStreet will provide the City of Rosemead the names and telephone numbers of at
least two qualified emergency contact employees. City representatives may call when
emergency maintenance is needed during hours when CleanStreet's normal workforce
is not present in the City. These representatives shall respond to said emergency within
30 minutes of receiving notification.
Complaint Response Policy
' CleanStreet will correct deficiencies and/or complaints on the same day they are
received. Re-sweeps of the deficient area will not be billed to the City.

° WORK PLAN
Nationwide Environmental Services (NES) general work plan to meet street sweeping
' requirements for the City of Rosemead includes a well-managed administration and
operational structure supported by interdepartmental team work. NES has reviewed the
' RFP, street sweeping maps and has completed a physical inspection of all the streets
within the City of Rosemead. NES' operations manager will meet with City
representatives to examine and evaluate the sweeping schedule according to contract
' specifications and schedules.
NES' street sweeping services will include but not limited to, picking up silt, mud, sand,
' dirt, paper, leaves, grass, miscellaneous trash/debris and standing water. Employees at
NES are experienced, trained and expected to make a "Clean Sweep" (i.e., as many
passes required to eliminate debris from all areas) of all streets. Employees fully
' understand their responsibilities and debris not picked up by the street sweeper will be
hand swept by the driver before leaving the area.
NES employs a staff of over 60 street sweeper operators which are experienced and
dedicated in keeping the environment clean and free of debris. Our employees wear
' company issued uniforms, which we believe is just one step to preventing possible
injury due to loose or unacceptable clothing attire. It is our company's policy to provide
our employees with proper safety training, therefore, all employees attend regularly
' scheduled company safety meetings to ensure proper safety standards are being met
for a safe work place. To assist NES in employee communication, all employees are
equipped with digital two-way radios which allows NES the capability of communicating
with its employees at any given time, thus, allowing NES.to respond promptly to events
and possible emergencies.
All sweepers will be new and compliant with SCAQMD Rule 1186 and 1186.1 rules and
regulations. Employees will also be supplied with push brooms/shovels to clean and
maintain cul-de-sacs, street ends and portions of parking lots.

The attached Route Inspection Forms (see attached, page 9) will be completed
regularly. Supervisors as well as the project manager will be available to meet with the
City staff to discuss any issues. The supervisor will be responsible for the following:
Make sure the routes are started and completed on time
Identify any problem areas
Correct all deficiencies
Complete daily inspection reports
Discuss deficiencies with the employees to prevent recurrence
Provide employees with feedback
Constantly remind employees about NES' "Clean Sweep" policy, which is making
as many passes as necessary to maintain streets free of debris
NES' management team will make certain all scheduled routes are completed each day
in accordance with the street sweeping schedule approved by the City. One of the most
important aspects of street sweeping is assuring the residents they will receive high
quality services. There are many factors involved in doing so: first, we make certain the
same sweeper operator cleans the streets on a regular basis; second, we make certain
all drivers are consistent in their sweeping pattern to allow the residents to move their
parked cars from the streets in a timely manner; third, employees make as many
passes as necessary to ensure clean streets free of debris.

Clean Energy for NES Sweepers...
Clean Energy Fuels (NASDAQ:CLNE) last week helped
celebrate the opening of a fueling station in Norwalk, Calif.
(Los Angeles), for Nationwide Environmental Services.
NES is said to be the first
street-sweeping fleet in the
country ("Maybe the world," says
Clean Energy solid waste business development manager
Sean Wine) with a dedicated compressed natural gas
fueling installation on site.
The Clean Energy-designed station has an ANGI com-
pressor package with a Vilter screw booster, allowing CNG
to be dispensed at better than 400 gasoline gallon equiva-
lents per hour.
"The station has 36 individual time-fill posts and will
fuel 36 sweepers overnight," Wine told F&F.
Clean Energy will provide NES with ongoing operation
and maintenance services.

...and for Limousines for Las Vegas
Clean Energy also confirmed last week that it's planning
a compressed natural gas fueling station in Las Vegas to
support vehicles including first-of-their-kind stretch limou-
sines by Brea, Calif-based Krystal Enterprises.
Krystal is converting 26 stretch limousines for the new
environmentally friendly CityCenter complex in Las Vegas.
The base vehicles are Lincoln Town Cars and the CNG
conversion hardware is from BAF Technologies.

Kansas City for First of New ESI Trucks
Kansas City has taken delivery of eight of 19 Navistar i
International trucks with 24-valve engines converted to
dedicated-methane operation by Emission Solutions, Inc.
Approval of the latest version of the 7.6-liter engine
for conversion means that ESI can
o- convert new trucks to compressed
• .I natural gas (F&F, May 18).
~K, - - - - Kansas City will deploy the
first of the 19 ESI-powered trucks for storm channel
clearing, says municipal fleet manager Sam Swearngin.

Omnitek Peru
"Everybody's busy and it's all because of CNG," says
Werner Funk, CEO of Los Angeles-based Omnitek
Engineering. Programs supporting conversion of taxis to
compressed natural gas in Peru, he told F&F, are stimulat-
ing all sorts of economic activity. "I'm really happy to see
a government supporting it like they do down there."
Which is why Omnitek has formed Omnitek Peru,
as a joint venture with local partners, to convert diesels to
methane and to re-power trucks and buses with Omnitek
methane engines, possibly including new vehicles.
Industry sources estimate that diesel vehicle conver-
sions for buses during the next few years will reach at least
20,000, with truck conversions expected to reach 50,000,
Omnitek says. There is a potential market of 500,000
heavy-duty engines in Peru, Funk said.
G&W Group S.A. is Omnitek's distributor in Peru with
an initial conversion order valued at $4.5 million for a fleet
of Leche Gloria beverage and milk delivery vehicles.

Ford Gaseous Fuel Prep Option for E-Series
Ford has launched a gaseous fuel prep order option for its
E-Series vans, NGVAmerica reports.
"Fleet customers and dealers registered with their web
access order bank system can now select the CNG-retrofit-
ready option on the full line of E-series vans and wagons
with the 5.4 liter engine," the association advises members
this week. "Previously, qualified Ford E-series retrofitters
would have to order the hardened valve seats and stems."

CARB Lifts Deadline
ZEV Bus Requirement for 2011-2012 Delayed
As Agency Will Await Data from New AC Trial
The California Air Resources Board has postponed its
deadline for large transit agencies to introduce zero-
emission buses, lifting a requirement that would have
taken effect for 15% of deliveries in 2011, or 2012 for
agencies already fielding alternative fuel vehicles.
The original requirement was for so-called
diesel-path" agencies to meet
the 15% ZEV minimum this year
_ and for "CNG-path" agencies to
-!'g comply in 2011.
One of ACTrmtsit's existing All bets are now off as CARB
Van pool fuel au buses has set no new deadline but will
instead await data from AC Transit's 12 new fuel cell
buses from Belgium's Van Hool, now expected to be in
service by mid-2010.

February 12, 2010
Nationwide Environmental Services
11914 Front Street
Norwalk, CA 90650
To whom it may concern:
On behalf of the City of Huntington Beach, 1 would like to acknowledge Nationwide Environmental
Services for the excellent service they have provided to the residents of this City for the past decade.
In 1999, a relationship started between the City of Huntington Beach and Nationwide Environmental
Services. NES was contracted to perform street sweeping services on a twice-a-month basis and the
service was split in half between in-house street sweeping and NES. It did not take long to realize that the
service level NES provided well exceeded the very high expectation level of the City. NES recognizes the
importance of strong customer service, attention to detail, industry knowledge, and an equitable
partnering approach with an agency as integral facets to a successful street sweeping program. In 2009,
the City of Huntington Beach amended its contract with Nationwide Environmental Services to
encompass a full street sweeping service on a twice-a-month interval. The transition to a full service
contract was easily accomplished by NES and well exceeded the City's expectations.
Nationwide Environmental Services is a leader in the street sweeping industry for others to follow. I would
recommend NES to any neighboring City for street sweeping services. It has truly been a pleasure to
work with such dedicated professionals who share and understand the same values in public service.
Respectfully,
Dereck Livermore
