Fullerton, California 92832
Dear Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, Members of the City Council, and City Staff,
Athens Services appreciates the opportunity to respond to the City’s request for final offers and wants to begin by saying we heard you loud and clear during the April 14 special City Council meeting.
Since 1957, Athens Services has built its reputation on the very values the City prioritizes: service reliability, workforce stability, environmental responsibility, and long-term community investment. These are not just commitments to the Fullerton community, they are principles Athens has operated by for nearly seven decades.
Today, with more than 2,800 team members and a fleet of 1,500+ vehicles, we proudly serve over 50 municipalities and over two million residential, commercial, and industrial customers across five Southern California counties. Our approach is grounded in delivering consistent, high-quality service while remaining a responsive and accountable partner to the communities we serve.
Within the last few years, we have had extensive experience successfully transitioning large municipalities comparable to and exceeding Fullerton’s population. These transitions include the:
• City of Pomona (total population 148,000)
• City of Thousand Oaks (total population 124,000)
• City of Riverside (total population 328,000)
• City of Whittier (total population 86,000)
These transitions required careful planning, effective communication, and disciplined execution to ensure uninterrupted service and strong community outcomes.
A key component of our transition approach is our commitment to the existing workforce. In every transition, we prioritize offering employment to the current hauler’s employees at wages and benefits equal to or better than their current compensation. This approach preserves institutional knowledge, supports workforce stability, and ensures continuity of service for the community.
We also want to clearly set expectations regarding service delivery. All elements within Athens’ proposal, including proposed services and enhancements, remain valid and provide genuine value-added benefits for the Fullerton community. Many of the enhancements highlighted by other haulers throughout this process are, for Athens, standard operating practice, not optional add-ons. These services are routinely delivered as part of our commitment to the communities we serve and include:
• SB 1383 compliance and program management
• Downtown Fullerton cleaning services
• Community and local organization sponsorships
• Holiday tree collection programs
• Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) events
• Compost giveaways and organics waste education
• Paper shredding events
• Disaster preparedness and response support
• Dedicated Outreach Coordinators
• Ongoing community engagement and meetings
This approach reflects Athens’ philosophy of providing comprehensive, high-touch service as a baseline, not as an upgrade.
We are deeply committed to the downtown communities we serve, delivering full-time, white-glove service and value-added programs across some of the region’s most active districts, including Pomona, Monrovia, and Whittier. Each downtown district shares strong parallels to Fullerton and is bolstered by strong praise from their City Council members, municipal staff, and local businesses recognizing Athens’ reliable service, responsiveness, and commitment to the community. Their feedback highlights our consistent operational performance, proactive communication, and ability to maintain high service standards while supporting local needs. Building on this experience, our approach will enhance the Fullerton Downtown District through a tailored service program that emphasizes shared-service efficiencies for businesses utilizing common infrastructure, supported by consistent maintenance, cleanliness, and proactive engagement. These efforts will be backed by seamless account management through a dedicated Municipal Account Manager focused exclusively on downtown operations.
As part of our refined offering, we are further strengthening our commitment by introducing a dedicated mini street sweeper to the Downtown District, providing daily weekday coverage of streets and alleyways alongside a dedicated City porter. This addition represents a meaningful enhancement to overall cleanliness, visibility, and responsiveness, reinforcing a high standard of service delivery for Fullerton’s downtown. Additionally, we are excited to offer unlimited bulky collection services for residents, as well as the ability to take on residential billing at no additional cost.
Athens has been a committed partner in Southern California for nearly 70 years, consistently investing in the communities we serve. In Fullerton, this includes plans to develop both a dedicated local office and, over time, develop a future hauling yard. This investment and key differentiator has the potential to improve operational efficiency, reduce truck travel distances, advance environmental goals, and generate meaningful local economic benefits, including jobs, revenue, and infrastructure investment.
Furthermore, Athens maintains longstanding relationships with our vendors and can provide all the necessary commitments to staff to confirm a seamless transition. Regarding the updated timeline questions from staff, Athens can confirm the updated timeline:
• Will NOT impact Athens’ ability to have all new vehicles operational by July 1, 2027 • Will NOT impact Athens’ ability to have all required containers in place by July 1, 2027 • Will NOT impact Athens’ ability to roll out all required SB 1383 programs by July 1, 2027
Finally, in response to Council and staff feedback regarding affordability, we have carefully reviewed and refined our residential and commercial rate structures and as a result, we are proposing an updated all-inclusive monthly residential rate of $35.49 for trash, recycling, and organics services and refined commercial rates that can be referenced in the our last and final pricing form.
All costs associated with Athens’ optional and proposed services are fully incorporated into our overall service offering and reflected in our best and final proposal. These enhancements are provided at no additional cost to the City, reinforcing our commitment to delivering exceptional value and a comprehensive, high-quality service program from day one.
Outlined below is a summary of Athens’ contract enhancements as part of our Last and Final submission:
• Refined base residential rate of $35.49
• Refined commercial rates (see Best and Final Pricing Form) • Residential billing included at no additional cost
• Unlimited bulky item collection services for residential • Full SB 1383 compliance from day one
• Annual $250,000 Community Benefit Fund ($50,000 allocated per Council District) • Two dedicated Operations Supervisors assigned to the City • Dedicated Municipal Account Manager focused on the Downtown District • Dedicated Downtown Porter

• Upon award, Athens will launch a local downtown Fullerton office as a center for customer service and community outreach
• Proven transition plan designed to ensure a seamless, zero-disruption onboarding • Robust emergency response and service continuity capabilities if there is a gap in service between award and go-live
• Commitment to job placement and workforce continuity for incumbent drivers Athens Services is ready to partner with the City of Fullerton to deliver a seamless transition, support your workforce, and provide residents and businesses with service reliability, environmental responsibility, and long- term community investment—delivering a level of service that not only meets but exceeds expectations. Should we be selected, Athens also welcomes the opportunity to continue working collaboratively with the City at the final negotiating table to further refine and align our program for long-term success.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Gary Clifford
Senior Executive Vice President
PROPOSED DOWNTOWN DISTRICT PROGRAM
Athens Services is proud to offer the City of Fullerton a comprehensive, white-glove service program tailored to the unique needs of the historic Downtown District. With a deep understanding of the nuance associated with managing a vibrant, high-activity historic district, Athens is well-positioned to provide personalized, concierge- level support to property managers and tenants ensuring seamless day-to-day operations. Our continued success in the Cities of Covina, Monrovia, and Pomona, as well as in Uptown Whittier, demonstrates our expertise in providing world-class service in similarly dynamic environments, while maintaining full compliance with Senate Bill (SB) 1383. This experience reflects our commitment to customer responsiveness and upholding the City’s aesthetic and cleanliness standards.
Downtown District Proposal Highlights:
• Dedicated City Council and Staff Liaison – Athens will designate a dedicated Government Affairs Representative to serve as the primary point of contact between the company and City Council. This individual will ensure clear and consistent communication, coordinate reporting and meetings, and promptly address service-related issues. This role will support alignment with Council priorities, maintain accountability, and help ensure efficient and responsive service delivery. • Dedicated Account Management – Athens will have a dedicated outreach team, consisting of a Municipal Account Manager and two Outreach Coordinators, to oversee all program and compliance initiatives throughout the City.
The Municipal Account Manager will serve as the primary point of contact and will be responsible for managing
both customer accounts and shared enclosures. This role is designed to provide consistent, high-level support to all customers, including assistance with waste-related
management, service adjustments, and issue resolution.
The Municipal Account Manager will also provide ongoing education on applicable waste regulations, including SB 1383, and will conduct training for staff and tenants to ensure proper waste sorting and compliance.
Two Outreach Coordinators will assist in delivering
targeted engagement services. They will provide one-on- one site visits for smaller customers, support on-site
education efforts, and staff outreach booths as needed.
This team-based approach ensures that all customers,
regardless of size, receive the attention, resources, and guidance necessary to maintain compliant and efficient
waste sorting best practices.
• Dedicated Operations Supervisors – Athens will assign a minimum of two dedicated Operations Supervisors to the Fullerton community. These supervisors will oversee all service-related requests, coordinate day-to-day operations, and manage beautification and porter services throughout the Downtown District, ensuring accountability, responsiveness, and consistent service delivery.
• Shared-Service Billing – Athens proposes an all-inclusive rate of $298.08 per month for non-organics generators and rate of $399.76 for all other businesses for shared-service recipients. This structure is designed to simplify billing, improve cost predictability, and reflects Athens’ core commitment to supporting small businesses.
• Beautification Program – Athens will implement a
comprehensive beautification program with an array of
sweeper and porter services designed to enhance the
appearance and cleanliness of the Downtown District,
including:
o Weekly power washing of all City-owned
enclosures and surrounding areas
o Annual steam cleaning of all City-owned
enclosures and surrounding areas
o Maintaining a 10-foot debris-free perimeter of all
City-owned enclosures
o Weekly pressure washing of high traffic
commercial areas
o Daily weekday supplemental street sweeping using
a miniature sweeper to target alleyways and hard-
to-reach areas across the downtown district.
o Alley Way Service – Targeted daily monitoring of
downtown alley ways leveraging Athens’ mini
street sweeper and porter with rapid responses to
bulky removal.
• Service Frequency Capacity – Athens has the operational capacity to provide collection services up to seven (7) days per week, with rapid response times to meet the elevated and variable demands of the Downtown District. Athens will custom tailor collection service in the downtown to best suit the needs of the business community.
• Shared Enclosures – The Downtown District’s enclosures are a valuable asset to the City and its business community, contributing to the functionality, cleanliness, and overall experience of the area. As the downtown area continues to evolve as a center for economic activity, dining, and community engagement, Athens recognizes a long-term opportunity to reimagine these enclosures as part of the broader public benefit.
Over time, Athens welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with City staff, Downtown stakeholders, and the business community to explore design enhancements and reconstruction concepts of the Downtown District enclosures that complement the City’s economic development goals. This could include considerations around improved aesthetics, better integration with surrounding uses, and operational efficiencies that support both businesses and service delivery.
Through a phased, collaborative approach, these efforts could enhance the visual character and functionality of the Downtown environment, further supporting the City’s continued investment in a vibrant, accessible, and business-friendly district.
