Why I feel the greenwaste tonnage seem to be inaccurate.
The main concern is the accuracy of the container count for green waste containers 2,250
1,962
5 4,217
3 4,215
The other issue this presents is the volume of Green Waste reported in 2017. If I plug in 510 tons in my formula (Inbound Tonnage/ Weeks Per Year) x Pounds in a Ton/ Number of Containers= Pounds Per Container 510 / 52 x 2,000 = 19,615 / 327 = 60 pounds per container 60 pounds per container average is highly unlikely. If we factor in a 25% margin of error it will come out to 45 pounds per container (still a unlikely amount) What I found to be inconsistent and unlikely.
The other inconsistency that I see is the 32 Gal Residue Carts count is 1 (Common size in the mobile home areas with limited space). it is not a large factor that the information provided needs additional verification .

* Numbers above have been obtained from the RFP
The tonnage difference between 2010 and 2012 shows a 57% increase in tonnage. This is highly unlikely due to the fact that the city is built out and doesn't have room for any major development producing more waste through new businesses or through construction.

6. Work Plan and Methodology
6. WORK PLAN AND METHODOLOGY
Commercial Waste Services (CWS) recognizes the importance of a smooth transition; benefiting both the City and the haulers involved. The key components of this work plan proposed by Commercial Waste Services center around three key concepts :
1. Education;
2. Consideration; and
3. Execution
Education is an integral part of Commercial Waste Services' mission to enhance the future of waste handling services.
CWS believes an educated community is a prepared community.
6.1 Residential "Core" Cart Service
6.1.1 Automated Carts
Commercial Waste Services (CWS) believes a crucial part of the initial stages of implementation is to familiarize themselves with the community. CWS plans to achieve this by utilizing the residential data set supplied by the City to populate the customer database and prepare a City-specific distribution plan . The distribution plan's main function is to distribute Public Education Materials (PEMs) notifying the residents about the change in service, new benefits, and eligible programs.
PE Ms will provide information regarding the distribution of new carts/bins/containers, when the residents can expect them to arrive, and the service provider contact information. As compliant with state recycling mandates, CWS will include information on proper material sorting and which materials are allowed in each container. PEMs (e.g. pamphlets, flyers, ads) will be hand delivered to every residential customers to ensure that all residents receive notification.
CWS will work with the City to receive and review current solid waste and recycling services, as well as route and tonnage data. An analysis of the current waste removal schedule will be conducted to strategize and establish the most efficient and non-disruptive execution of this hauler transition.
CWS has the ability to provide the requested fully automated solid waste, recyclable materials, and green waste carts for residential customers. CWS will provide the City color options for approval, and ensure City name and logo placement are satisfactory prior to distributing carts to customers.
The following is CWS' proposed execution plan for its residential automated cart collection services :
1. During the initial carts, bins, and boxes distribution, CWS will designate a crew to deliver to 500 customers per day until all customers are services. This is the combined goal of all execution plans. Flatbed vehicles will be used to deliver carts, bins, and boxes .
City of Hawaiian Gardens - April 2018
18 6. Work Plan and Methodology
1. All new carts will be accompanied by a PEM (e.g. notice, flyer, or pamphlet) describing the City's new automated collection services. The PEM will contain, at a minimum:
• Purpose and proper use of each cart;
• Proper placement of carts for collection;
• Recommended cart care;
• Collection schedule;
• Service guidelines and rules;
• Procedures for requesting additional and/or replacement carts; and • CWS contact information for each resident including appropriate telephone numbers and email addresses
2. All carts will be identifiable by a unique barcode with a corresponding serial number. Upon delivery of the containers and for each collection pick-up, these barcodes are scanned to keep records that each resident is serviced promptly and as scheduled. The barcode reader is equipped with internet access to communicate instantaneous with CWS headquarters' database and verify the customers' addresses.
3. The initial distribution team will file regular reports on the completion of each route segment to ensure full and proper cart distribution.
6.1.2 Refuse Cart Collection
See Section 6.1.1 for CWS' proposed cart execution plan.
CWS has the ability to distribute the 96-gallon Refuse Carts, 96-gallon Recycling Carts, and 64-gallon Green Waste Carts to all existing residential Cart customers. CWS will adhere to the approved Maximum Customer Rate Schedule (Attachment B of the RFP) when providing the default Carts, downsizing Carts, or providing additional Carts .
6.1.3 Recycling Cart Collection
See Section 6.1.1 for CWS' proposed cart execution plan.
Additional Recycling Carts will be available at no cost to the rate payer for up to two (2) additional 96-gallon Carts.
6.1.4 Green Waste Cart Collection
See Section 6.1.1 for CWS' proposed cart execution plan.
Additional Green Waste Carts will be available at no cost to the rate payer for up to one {l) additional 64- gallon Cart. CWS has experience in collecting bundled green waste too large to fit within the Cart, and will provide this service to its residential customers at least twice per year.
6.1.5 Refuse Cart Overage
CWS will offer at least two (2) annual pickups for refuse that does not fit within the provided automated refuse Carts at no additional cost to the rate payer.
City of Hawaiian Gardens - April 2018
19 6. Work Plan and Methodology
6.1.6 Cart Colors and Markings
Through Schaefer Containers, CWS is able to provide a wide variety of colors, sizes, and markings for its residential Carts. CWS will not move forward with a color or design without receiving written approval from the City. Cart specifications and cut-sheets are provided in Attachment J of this proposal.
6.1.7 Public Outreach Program
Initial Public Outreach
Prior to beginning collection services, CWS shall hold a community meeting to introduce residents, multi-family residents, businesses, and other customers of the City's new collection services and programs.
At least two week prior to this and all future scheduled community meetings, CWS will notify all customers through either mail, phone, print advertisement, or a combination . By engaging with the community in-person early in the transition process, we aim to make customers feel comfortable and well-informed about the upcoming changes.
Demonstration carts and Public Education Materials (PEMs) will be available for customers to review and see the services available to them first hand. Additional information meetings will be held as needed during the life of the contract.
On-Going Public Outreach
Commercial Waste Services has made it its mission to educate its customers on how to effectively identify and separate recyclable materials and organics from the solid waste stream. CWS has established public education and outreach programs in other jurisdictions that have shown success with an interdisciplinary approach . This approach utilizes the support from current regulations, creative social resources, and industry minimum requirements to foster different levels of communication, sharing, and knowledge. This strategy can be paired with multiple languages (e.g. English/Spanish/Korean) and across several platforms (e.g. flyers, newspaper, workshops, and social media).
6.1.8 Bulky Item Collection
The City has requested its future hauler to provide at least six bulky item pick-ups per year, for up to five items each pick-up at no additional charge to the customer. CWS believes that this program can help to reduce illegal dumping, and therefore reduce collection vehicle miles traveled and street congestion. To fulfil its duty in providing the best service to the City possible, CWS proposes to provide up to fifty-two (52) bulky item pick-ups per year, for up to five items each pick up at no additional cost. This will give residents the flexibility and capacity to ensure their large items are removed in a timely manner instead of abandoned on the side of the road, or in other areas of the City. CWS firmly believes offering close to "unlimited" bulky item pick-ups will reduce illegal dumping, as residents will always have a free and easy way to get rid of their unwanted items.
If notified by the City or a customer of any abandoned bulky waste item(s), CWS will collect and remove the item(s) at no additional charge within 24 hours of the notice. However, no service will be provided on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays as outlined in the RFP.
CWS is committed to achieving the maximum diversion from landfill, and will employ the full waste hierarchy of diversion until disposal is considered . Most bulky items will be sent to the Ace Diversion . Ace Diversion (SWIS No. 19-AA-1131) is located at 1530 Date Street in the City of Montebello. Ace Diversion can receive up to 175 tons of material per day. See Section 7 of this proposal for more detail on this processing facility.
City of Hawaiian Gardens - April 2018
20 6. Work Pion and Methodology
6.1.9 Additional Bulky Item Service
The purpose of providing up to fifty-two (52) free bulky item pick-ups is for customers to feel free to use this service every week of the year. CWS does not expect a customer to require more than one bulky item pick-up per year, although if needed, CWS will charge a fee consistent with the Maximum Customer Rates (Attachment B of the RFP).
6.1.10 Temporary Bins
Residential customers will be provided temporary bins or boxes within 48 hours of request (not including weekends or holidays) for construction and demolition debris. CWS will use the customer rates as provided in the Maximum Customer Rates (Attachment B of the RFP).
CWS will use Distributors' Unlimited to supply all bins or boxes, and ensure to have sufficient bins or boxes readily available for customers.
6.1.11 Universal Waste & Electronic Waste
Through the bulky item collection as described in Section 6.1.8, CWS will collect u-waste and e-waste.
6.1.12 Roll-off Box and Temporary Processing
CWS is willing and able to provide permanent and temporary bin and roll-off container collection service upon request. Bins and roll-off containers will be provided to CWS by Distributors' Unlimited.
CWS will first utilize the South East Resource Recovery Facility (SERRF) which achieves 100% diversion while recovering heat value and converting this heat into renewable electricity. CWS will also utilize Puente Hills Material Recovery Facility (MRF), which is owned and operated by the County of Los Angeles to recover recyclable materials prior to landfill. CWS has a long standing relationship with the County of Los Angeles, which has a proven track record of processing mixed recyclables from businesses and residents. Non-recoverable material will be sent to the Chiquita Canyon Landfill.
SERRF (SWIS No. 19-AK-0083) is located at 120 Pier S. Avenue in the City of Long Beach. It is permitted to accept 1,380 tons per day. Puente Hills MRF (SWIS No. 19-AA-1043) is located at 13130 Crossroads Parkway South in the City of Industry. It is permitted to receive 4,400 tons per day. Chiquita Canyon Landfill (SWIS No. 19-AA-0052) is located at 29201 Henry Mayo Drive in the City of Castaic. It is permitted to accept up to 6,000 tons per day. See Section 7 of this proposal for more detail on these processing facilities.
6.1.13 SHARPS Collection
Consistent with the City's Draft Franchise Agreement, CWS will provide each residential dwelling unit, including multi-family and mobile homes, with the appropriate pre-paid postage mail back sharps collection service at no additional cost to the customer.
6.1.14 Valet Service
CWS will develop a valet service for eligible customers to move the customers' carts to and from the point of collection. Eligible customers must provide California OMV handicap credentials on an annual basis. CWS will work with the customer to ensure a smooth collection service. This service will be at no cost to the eligible customer.
City of Hawaiian Gardens - April 2018
21 6. Work Plan and Methodology
6.1.15 Low-Income Senior Citizen Discount
All qualifying customers will be offered a low-income senior discount of 10% off their automated residential cart service. Qualifying customers are those age 65 and older who also qualify for Southern California Edison's CARE Program.
6.1.16 Holiday Tree Collection and Recycling
Outside of the provided bulky item pickup service, CWS will provide holiday tree collection and recycling for four consecutive weeks following December 26th . The holiday trees will be taken to Oak Tree Worm Farm to be converted in mulch, soil amendments, and/or compost. Oak Tree Worm Farm (SWIS No. 19-AA-136) is located at 13326 Little Tujunga Canyon and is allowed to accept up to 250 tons per day of organic materials. The facility has adequate capacity to handle all potential organics from the City of Hawaiian Gardens. See Section 7 of this proposal for more detail on this processing facility.
6.1.17 Mulch Give-A-Way Program
Oak Tree Worm Farm will provide free mulch, soil amendment, and/or compost for at least two mulch give-a-way events per calendar year. CWS will provide all coordination and hauling services for the mulch, soil amendments, and/or compost.
6.1.18 Holiday Schedule
CWS will provide collection services schedule during an identified Holiday on the following non-holiday calendar day.
CWS will work with the customers to ensure for a smooth collection service during these Holidays.
6.1.19 Removal and Recycling of Existing Carts
When embarking on a change of service as large as this, it is crucial to be considerate of the community, the City, and the previously contracted hauler. The first step to ensuring a smooth transition is for CWS to meet with the current hauler. CWS will share its proposed cart and container delivery schedule with the current hauler, to allow the hauler to provide comment and feedback on any potential deficiencies or time gaps. This will help give the current hauler the guidance and timeline needed to organize the removal of their own carts.
If the current hauler fails to remove their own carts, CWS has an available transitional storage facility to store these carts immediately. CWS will offer this storage space to the current hauler to encourage a smooth, quick, and efficient transition .
CWS will develop a transition facility to store equipment, bin s, containers, and carts temporarily to minimize any delays in the proposed transition schedule and missed collections. This storage facility will aid in streamlining the transition process between haulers by providing adequate space for all the carts and bins required to service the City of Hawaiian Gardens. A temporary storage location will also reduce traffic by reducing the miles CWS vehicles must travel back and forth for collection equipment. Reducing traffic has compounded benefits including eliminating unnecessary wear and tear on City streets and reducing truck emissions (greenhouse gases).

Residential "Optional" Collection Services
Organics and Food Waste Recycling
Commercial Waste Services will offer an optional organics and food waste recycling program to its residential customers. CWS will contract with Clements Environmental Corp. (Clements) to provide all organics progra m education, outreach, and waste characterization work. CWS, in collaboration with Clements, proposes the following for its food waste recycling program:
1. All residential customers will receive an invitation to participate in the optional food waste recycling program upon start of service, along with program-specific informational pamphlets (PEMs), and instructions on what materials are allowed and are not allowed in the cart. The program will utilize the existing residential 64-gallon green waste cart.
2. Prior to starting food waste collection services, a Clements account representative will visit the residential home to provide a one-on-one introductory presentation on food waste recycling, what to do, and what to expect.
3. On this initial site visit, the account representative will also conduct a foodwaste survey to determine an estimated foodwaste quantity and type from the enrolled household. This survey takes into consideration number of residents within the household, household grocery budget, and diet.
4. Residential customers enrolled in this program will be allowed to place their foodwaste materials in their green waste carts. Depending on the level of participation, a separate collection vehicle may service these accounts.
5. These organic materials will be delivered to Oak Tree Worm Farm to be processed into nutrient-rich compost through the vermicomposting process .
6. At least once a year, a Clements account representative will conduct a waste characterization study on the residential household's organics cart to assess the ratio of foodwaste to greenwaste, and percentage of contamination (e.g. non-organics).
7. At least one a year, Clements will facilitate a waste characterization study on the organic waste tipped at Oak Tree Worm Farm as part of this program to provide the City with information on the effectiveness and potential deficiencies of this program.
8. Residents enrolled in this program will receive quarterly PE Ms relating to organic and food waste recycling, relevant state regulations (e.g. AB 1826 and SB 1383), and any program progress reports.
6.2.2 Citywide Quarterly Clean-up Program

6.4 Commercial "Core" Collection Service
6.4.1 Bin Refuse Collection and Processing
Commercial Waste Services (CWS) will utilize Distributors' Unlimited to supply all collection bins (e.g. 2, 3, 6, 30, and 40 cubic yard bins) for commercial accounts. CWS will have sufficient collection bins in stock to create new recycling accounts for all commercial customers.
CWS proposes the following for the commercial bin execution plan:
1. CWS will work in cooperation with the current contracted hauler to minimize service disruption and ensure a seamless transition for City customers.
2. A variety of container trucks will be used to deliver these containers to each customer. Container trucks are designed to deliver the commercial containers without damaging the surface of the customer's property. a. The trucks are considered "light duty" and equipped with noise mufflers to not disturb residents.
If need be, these trucks can be used to pull out dumpsters from tight alleyways or other hard to service areas .
3. Depending on the commercial accounts' needs, CWS will use container storage trucks to deliver one dumpster at a time, or multiple containers simultaneously.
CWS strives to provide the safest, environmentally protective, and most efficient truck fleet possible by equipping collection vehicles with one or more of the following:
• "Pack at idle systems" and Engine Idle time limiter to reduce emissions • Automatic transmissions that reduce emissions and allow drivers to focus more on their surroundings and safety versus shifting gears
• Retarders to assist in braking.
• Larger than industry standard brake lining to improve overall braking performance City of Hawaiian Gardens - April 2018
26 6. Work Plan and Methodology
All CWS trucks and vehicles will be equipped with the following:
• Outfitted with Safety Equipment (e.g. back-up alarms and flashers) • Rear camera that relays images onto a monitor inside the truck cab to show the driver what is behind him in the truck's blind spot
All bins, equipment, and vehicles will subject to a routinely scheduled maintenance program and be kept in a "like new," safe, and clean operating condition throughout the term of the agreement. We accomplish this by using synthetic or semi-synthetic fluids that allow for extended oil drain intervals in engines, transmissions, differentials and hydraulic systems. The use of these fluids reduces the amount of virgin petroleum stock required as well as reduces the amount of used oils that are returned to the environment.
All collected materials will be sent to the appropriate processing facility to achieve maximum recovery and diversion from landfill.
6.4.2 Bins and Boxes
Consistent with City requirements, CWS will ensure that all bins and roll-off boxes be kept graffiti free at all times, and within four hours of visible or informed sighting, will touch-up or replace any bin or box.
Please see Section 6.3.1 for CWS' proposed execution plan for its bin and box program.
6.4.3 Missed Collection
If a customer experiences a missed pick-up and it is reported to CWS by noon, CWS will ensure the service is provided on the same day. If the missed pick-up is reported after 12:00 p.m., then CWS will provide the service the next business day.
6.4.4 Commercial Recycling Program
To achieve compliance with AB 341, all businesses will be offered both single-stream and comingled sourceseparated recycling services. CWS will implement a dynamic commercial recycling program, to ensure maximum customer participation, minimum bin contamination, and high landfill diversion. Clements Environmental Corp. (Clements) will provide all hands-on education, outreach, and waste characterization work. CWS proposes the following commercial recycling program:
1. All commercial businesses will receive an invitation to participate in a recycling program, in either or both single-stream or comingled recycling containers. Businesses will receive Public Educational Materials (PE Ms) about the different program types, benefits to the business, costs, and statewide recycling goals.
2. Any customer who elects to implement an on-site recycling program, will be provided the service of their choosing. Upon or after delivery of the bin, a CWS representative will help each business set up best recycling practices focused around three components : a) bin care; b) business care; and c) staff care. a. Bin Care - A Clements representative will provide PE Ms and in-person guidance on bin placement, bin maintenance, and bin labeling. CWS contact information will be provided incase the customer needs assistance or bin repair.
b. Business Care - The Clements representative will provide PEMs that the business can post in employee common areas, and near waste receptacles to aid in educating staff on proper recycling separation practices.

6. Work Plan and Methodology
Staff Care - Upon coordination with the business, Clements will provide one annual on-site staff training session to any business enrolled in this recycling program at no additional cost to the customer. Training sessions will include a mixture of the following educational tools :
demonstrations, videos, and open forum discussion.
3. All recyclable material recovered from this program will be taken to the SERRF plant, or the Puente Hills MRF.
4. At least once year per, Clements will perform a waste characterization study on one load of recyclable material from the City's commercial recycling program to determine the percentage of contamination.
5. Upon request, Clements will offer one annual waste characterization study to each commercial customers.
This will help businesses understand their recycling practices strengths and weaknesses.
6. Businesses enrolled in this program will receive quarterly PEMs relating to recycling, relevant state regulations, and any program progress reports.
7. CWS will coordinate with Clements on program implementation, success, and deficiencies. All records will be maintained for review by the City.
6.4.5 Organics Recycling Program
In compliance with AB 1826, CWS will evaluate each commercial business to determine the estimated solid waste and organic waste generated per week. CWS will compare this waste study with the current collection services to assess which businesses are currently in compliance with these regulations, and which businesses to target for program implementation. CWS will complete this assessment as expeditiously as possible to understand the City's commercial businesses' waste generation.
Consistent with the requirements of AB 1826, all businesses which generate eight (8) cubic yards or more of solid waste, or four (4) cubic yards or more of organic waste per week will be offered organic waste recycling services.
Starting January 1, 2019, all businesses which generate four (4) cubic yard or more will be offered organic waste recycling services.
CWS proposes to offer all businesses organic waste recycling services, but will target the businesses as described above. Clements will provide all education, outreach, and waste characterization work. CWS proposes the following organics recycling program :
1. All commercial businesses will receive an invitation to participate in the organics program upon start of service, along with program-specific informational pamphlets (PEMs), and instructions on what materials are allowed and are not allowed in the cart. This program will offer a new 96-gallon green waste cart.

City of Hawaiian Gardens - April 2018
29 6. Work Plan and Methodology
CWS will first utilize the South East Resource Recovery Facility (SER RF) which achieves 100% diversion while recovering heat value and converting this heat into renewable electricity. CWS will also utilize Puente Hills Material Recovery Facility (MRF), which is owned and operated by the County of Los Angeles to recover recyclable materials prior to landfill. CWS has a long standing relationship with the County of Los Angeles, which has a proven track record of processing mixed recyclables from businesses and residents . Non-recoverable material will be sent to the Chiquita Canyon Landfill.
See Section 7 of this proposal for more detail on these processing facilities .
6.4.8 On-Call Bulky Item Collection
At the start of service, CWS will inform the commercial business of the available on-call bulky item pick-up collection services. All businesses will receive PE Ms describing this service and how to utilize it.
6.4.9 On-Call E-Waste and U-Waste Recycling Collection
Similar to the Residential and Multi-Family bulky item collection services, CWS will allow e-waste and u-waste to be collected in the commercial bulky item pick-ups.

system, and recovers heat to produce renewable energy. Between these two facilities, CWS is confident it will be able to achieve the maximum diversion credit for the City.
As outlined in this proposal, CWS will conduct annual waste characterization studies to evaluate programs' success and deficiencies. One of the main obstacles with regards to recycling is contamination. CWS plans to implement an interdisciplinary approach to the education and outreach for the City's customers across all accounts: residential, multi-family, commercial, and construction and demolition debris. Through active public education and technical waste audits, CWS will be able to provide the City with its monitoring reports and program plans.
6.7 City Facilities and Special Collection

Vermicompost Is the most environmentally friendly process to process food waste. It does not require the use of any electricity or gas. Worm composting is using worms to recycle food scraps and other organic material into a valuable soil amendment called vermicompost, or worm compost. Worms eat food scraps, which become compost as they pass through the worm's body. Vermicomposting is an all organic process allowing the city to truly be green. This facility will help the city of Hawaiian Gardens to be in compliance with AB1826.

8. Schedule of Service
Residential Collection:
Option 1 (recommended)
All routes are analyzed to determine the most efficient and effective schedule for both CWS and the Cities we service. Based on our recent evaluation, CWS proposes the following revised schedu le. All residential customers will be transitioned to a 4 day per week Service (MTWF). Thursdays have been deliberately excluded to avoid any interference with the street sweeping services that occur on those days. CWS also recommends that we assign a single driver to the same neighborhoods in order to provide a more personalized service for residents as well as a familiarity for the driver to the area that will develop over time. In our professional experience, doing so allows drivers to adjust their routes as time progresses to adapt to the neighborhood's needs and provide the residents with the best service possible.
With vehicles present in the area so frequently, bulky item pick-ups and additional (non-scheduled) pickups are made easier. In doing so, abandoned bulky items will not be an issue, which as of late have become a significant issue for many cities in the greater Los Angeles area.
Additionally, in spreading out the service to multiple days per week, fewer trucks are required to service the city allowing for those resources to be allocated in other areas as needed.

All final decisions are left to the discretion of the City.
Holiday Schedule:
CWS Observes the following holidays:
Memorial Day
July 4th
Labor Day
Thanksgiving Day
Christmas Day
New Year's Day
Should said holidays fall on any of the above revised schedule pickup weekdays (MTWF), service will be suspended on that day and resumed on the following business day. In addition, each area's designated driver will conduct a "make-up" pick-up (typically on the Saturday following the holiday).

This procedure has been established to gain more knowledge of the excluded driver problem and to provide a course of action which will effectively manage the problem. The intent is to treat all excluded drivers in a fair and consistent manner.
a. Following the normal driver rating process, each excluded driver will be monitored until their motor vehicle record (MVR) is upgraded to an approved status or they are no longer involved in the program.
b. A copy of each excluded drivers MVR will be placed in a special file for all excluded drivers. c. Once each quarter a new MVR for each driver in the excluded file will be ordered and reviewed for additional violations. This will be done on or near the first day of January, April, July, and October.
d. Personnel at the six-point level will remain excluded.
5. Driver Supervision
a. Driving records will be reviewed as outlined above.
b. All vehicle accidents will be reviewed by an Accident Review Committee to determine preventability. The involved driver will be advised of the decision and subject to a job performance review with management.
• A preventable accident is any accident in which the driver failed to do everything that could have reasonably been done to prevent the accident.
• A non-preventable accident is one in which the driver did everything he could reasonably have done to foresee the conditions leading to the accident and took suitable safeguards. (see Appendix A).
c. Drivers will be monitored based on safety instruction provided in driver meetings and as outlined in this program. Driver evaluations (ride-along and ride-behind) will also be done on a regular basis by management using the following targeting techniques : (see Appendix B) • Previous driver observations

Safe Driving Requirements
a. A defensive driver is defined as one who is careful to commit no driving errors, who makes allowance for the lack of skill or improper attitude on the part of another driver, and who does not allow hazards of weather and road conditions or the action of pedestrians and other drivers to involve him in an accident or confrontation. They keep continually on the alert, recognize an accident-producing situation far enough ahead to apply the necessary preventive action, and concede the right-of-way when necessary to prevent an accident. b. The maximum speed limit is the posted limit when conditions permit. Your speed at all times shall be reasonable and prudent with due consideration given to weather, other traffic, conditions of the road, and intersecting side roads or highways. Do not exceed posted limits. Legal speed limits must be obeyed in all areas. Any driver receiving a citation for speeding will be given a correction notice that will contribute to the point system and they will receive appropriate disciplinary action. School zones and playgrounds rate a special warning for governing your speed. Also reduce speed at times of poor visibility and hazardous conditions.
If operating a heavy vehicle, always control your downgrade speed. The company requires drivers of heavy or loaded trucks to use a maximum of 30 mph on all severe grades. When empty or loaded light use your own discretion obeying all posted speed limits and maintain control of the vehicle at all times. Adhering to the speed limit is important in terms of reduced traffic citations, insurance rates, maintenance costs, tire wear, and fuel consumption. c. Never, under any circumstance, attempt to pass another vehicle at an intersection, on a hill, on a curve, or near a railroad crossing. Under no circumstances take a chance in passing when your view of the thoroughfare is totally or partially blocked. Due care in passing should be the watchword at all times, as it is difficult to estimate the speed of an approaching vehicle. When in doubt, do not pass.
d. Turning. At intersections, reduce your speed and use your mirrors to see that your vehicle is clearing the corner. Give sufficient advanced warning of your intentions.
Right hand turns should be made from the farthest right-hand lane if possible.
Double check mirrors and watch for pedestrians, objects, and other vehicles. e. Stopping and parking on the roadway. If it is at all possible, pull off on a suitable surface out of the line of traffic. Never stop or park your vehicle on the traveled portion of the highway. If you find it impossible to stop off the highway or entirely out of the lane of traffic, every effort must be made to leave as much of the roadway clear for other traffic. Turn on flashers and place emergency warning devices at once. Use a safety vest and assume oncoming vehicles do not see you.
f. Stopping and parking for routine stops. On all routine tire checks, coffee stops, etc., choose a place that has suitable off-road parking that will give your vehicle ample protection from being hit by highway traffic. Always make sure the ground you travel on will support the weight.

49 10. Employee Safety and Training
g. Parking on hills and inclines. If, in an extreme emergency, you find it necessary to stop or park on an incline, in addition to setting your parking brake and putting your vehicle in park or gear, use all other possible precautions . When broken down while heading up hill, put the vehicle in first gear and set chocks. h. Striking fixed objects. In handling your vehicle on the highway, in city traffic, and at loading and unloading spots, remember that striking any fixed object such as bridges, abutments, parked cars, loading docks, overhead pipes, or fire hydrants is classified as the fault of the driver. These events must be reported immediately. i. Passing or meeting a school bus . When approaching a school bus, be on guard at all times for signals of intention to either discharge or pick up school children.
Most states have laws requiring either red blinking signals or manually controlled stop signs on buses for signaling a stop. Be on the alert for the actions of these school buses. It is illegal to pass, in either direction, a school bus which is stopped to pick up or discharge passengers . When in doubt, stop. j. Following other vehicles. Always keep ample distance between yourself and the next vehicle except when it becomes necessary to pass. In following other vehicles, you must operate at a distance that will enable you to make a smooth complete stop under any emergency. Adequate following distance applies to city driving as well as rural traffic.
k. When preparing to stop, always check the position of possible vehicles behind you . Make it a habit to reduce your speed soon enough so that the driver behind you will have no doubt as to your intentions. This not only prevents accidents, but reduces excessive tire and brake wear.
I. Pedestrians. You have no right-of-way insofar as pedestrians are concerned.
Legally, they may walk on either side of the road, they can cross at intersections, and they can pop out from behind a parked car on a busy city street. Never take it for granted that they see you.
m. Use of cellular telephones and other key-type devices is not allowed while operating any vehicle.

Preventability Evaluation
HOW TO DETERMINE PREVENTABILITY
This guide is to be used by Accident Review Board in determining if an accident is Preventable or Non-Preventable.
WHAT IS A PREVENTABLE ACCIDENT?
A preventable accident is any accident in which the driver failed to do everything he/she reasonably could have done to avoid it.
WHAT IS A NON-PREVENTABLE ACCIDENT?
A non-preventable accident is an accident in which the driver did everything he/she reasonably could have done to foresee the things that caused the accident and guard against them .
Nearly all accident situations are covered in this material. For each type of accident, a series of questions is asked.
If the answer to any question is "no" then our driver was not practicing the best defensive driving.
It is often difficult to assess preventability and difficult to make a driver understand wherein he/she was at fault.
Drivers must be taught very specifically the kinds of hazards they must anticipate and defend themselves against.
Without a clear concept of what defensive driving is, it becomes a frustrating catchall in the minds of drivers.
Following the definition of a defensive driver, the questions asked here help to determine preventability and help to teach a driver what is meant by defensive driving. When you have gathered the facts about an accident, apply these questions to assess preventability.
Defensive drivers are those who make allowances for the lack of skill and knowledge on the part of the other driver. They recognize that they have no control over the unpredictability of other drivers, pedestrians, and weather or road conditions. They develop a defense against those hazards. They concede their right-of-way and make concessions to avoid collision . They are careful to commit no driving errors themselves and are defensively alert to avoid the accident traps and hazards created by weather, roads, pedestrians, and other drivers.
Icy roads; curves; hills; narrow roads; the absence of signs and signals; signals out of order; or the carelessness, recklessness, or ignorance of other drivers does not relieve our driver of his responsibility for driving without accidents. These are situations likely to be encountered at any time and we must drive accordingly.

Driver Signature: ___________ Supervisor Signature: _________ _ Biennial Inspection of Terminals (BIT) Program
Commercial Waste Services will comply with the California Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1988, commonly referred to as the Biennial Inspection of Terminals (BIT) Program; this program was enacted to alleviate the number of truck related collisions on California highways. The intent is to ensure every truck terminal throughout the state is inspected by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) on a regular basis.
Terminal inspections are also used as tool to determine if motor carriers are complying with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations on an on-going basis, particularly with regard to the legal requirement to maintain commercial motor vehicles according to a scheduled maintenance program. The CH P's role is to determine whether carriers, including Commercial Waste Services maintenance schedules are adequate to prevent collisions or mechanical breakdowns involving the vehicles, and all maintenance and driver records are prepared and retained as required by law.
Section 34501.2 of the California Vehicle Code requires any organization directing the operation of certain trucks and/or trailers to participate in the BIT Program. The law requires the CHP to inspect California truck terminals every 25-months. A truck terminal is defined as any place where a vehicle is regularly garaged, maintained, operated or dispatched from .
Commercial vehicles will be periodically inspected within 90-day intervals by a CHP Motor Carrier Specialists, or sooner if necessary to ensure safe operation. Inspections will be documented and inspection reports must be retained for two years. The inspection reports will include:
• Identification of the vehicle including, make, model, license number, company vehicle number or other means of positive identification.
• Date and nature of each inspection and repair performed . • The signature of the authorized representative attesting to the inspection and to the completion of all required repairs.
To ensure our company's compliance with the Department of Transportation's FMCSA Part 391 (Inspection, Repair, and Maintenance), and the California Highway Patrol BIT Program we have established a Preventive Maintenance schedule which includes regular pre-determined services at 30, 60, and 90-day intervals. All service will be recorded on the Preventive Maintenance Log for that vehicle; logs and record of repairs will be retained for at least one year.
Driver Vehicle Inspection Report's (DVIR)
Commercial Waste Services views vehicle inspections as an im portant part of the overall safe operation of commercial motor vehicles. While drivers and the company both have a duty to make sure the vehicles are inspected daily, the driver is ultimately responsible for making certain that the vehicle being driven is in safe operating condition . Legally drivers have to perform pre-trip inspections as stated in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) part 396.13 aswell as post-trip inspections as outlined in part 396.11. Commercial vehicle inspections are also a requirement of the California Highway Patrol Biennial Inspection of Terminals (BIT) Program.
Pre-trip and post-trip inspections can help identify defective equipment before it fails. In the event of a crash the reports will be pulled and used as part of the investigation, especially in the event of serious incidents. We must take the completion of these reports seriously.
City of Hawaiian Gardens - April 2018
71 10. Employee Safety and Training
The Vehicle Maintenance Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Category (BASIC) is one of seven categories that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) uses to determine how a motor carrier ranks relative to other carriers with a similar number of safety events. Violations related to the Vehicle Maintenance BASIC adversely affect the FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS) results for a 24-month period. Time and/or inspections with no vehicle maintenance violations can improve our company's BASIC percentile ranking.
Completing a DVIR and catching a defect before leaving the yard at the beginning of shift can also reduce losses associated with down time and road calls, not to mention the added stress of being behind schedule.
The effectiveness of DVIR's are dependent on our drivers doing a thorough job on both the pre-trip and post-trip inspections, and our maintenance team completing all of the necessary repairs in a timely manner.
Driver Vehicle Inspection Report (DVIR) Process
Commercial Waste Services driver's will complete both a pre-trip and post-trip DVIR on all equipment equipped with three or more axles having a gross vehicle weight (GVR) rating of more than 10,000 lbs., or any motor truck with a GVR of more than 10,000 lbs. while towing any trailer or semi-trailer that results in a combination length over 40- feet.
At the beginning of each shift driver's will complete the header section of the DVIR wh ich includes: company name; D.O.T. number, date, unit number, beginning mileage, etc. The driver shall then complete a visual inspection of the vehicle and note any defects; prior to operating the vehicle, the company shall repair any defect or deficiency listed on the DVIR which would be likely to affect the safe of operation of the vehicle.
Commercial Waste Services maintenance personnel shall certify on the original DVIR which lists any defect or deficiency that the defect or deficiency has been repaired, or that the repair is unnecessary before the vehicle is operated again. A copy of the DVIR shall be left for the driver as verification .
When starting the pre-trip inspection process drivers should first check and verify that the repairs have been completed from the previous shift/day. If satisfied with the repair the driver must sign the DVIR and return the form to dispatch/fleet supervisor for filing.
If repairs cannot be performed prior to the next shift, maintenance personnel will remove the vehicle from service and notify the dispatcher and/or fleet supervisor that the vehicle is temporarily out of service. Only when all repairs have been completed can the vehicle be placed back in service.
Original DVIR's, certification of repairs, and the certification of the driver's review must be retained for a minimum of 90-days from the date the written report was prepared. All completed DVIR's will be recorded on the DVIR Log spreadsheet.

Fall Protection Program
Objective
Each year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that far too many workers die on the job, with many of those fatalities resulting from falls . Events surrounding these types of accidents often involve a number of factors, including unstable working surfaces, misuse of fall protection equipment, and human error. Studies have shown that the use of guardrails, fall arrest systems, covers, and proper training can prevent many deaths and injuries from falls .
Although falls from the top of refuse collection vehicles are not commonplace, the severity of injuries resulting from falling off the top of a truck or trailer is often very serious, and can even be fatal. Front loaders, rear loaders with reeving equipment, and transfer trailers all require access to the top for routine activities, and each should be evaluated with fall protection in mind.
Whenever performing any task that would allow a worker to fall a distance of four feet or more to a lower level, the work task requires pre-planning in order that fall hazards are identified, evaluated, and controlled. The worker must receive adequate training and be protected from falling.
The State of California, Occupational Safety & Health Administration (Cal/OSHA) outlines the fall protection requirements in the Title 8 Regulations, Section 3210. For those not covered by Cal/OSHA regulations the controlling regulations are 29 CFR 1910, Subpart D of the General Industry Standard (Walking Working Surfaces) hereinafter referred to as the Fall Protection Standard.
In order to comply w ith the OSHA standards, this written program has been established for Commercial Waste Services. All company facilities and equipment are included and comply with this program. Copies of this written program, including a copy of the OSHA Standard, are available for review by any employee.
ASSIGNMENT OF RESPONSIBILITY
The Safety Manager is responsible for:
• providing oversight and technical support,
• securing the resources necessary to implement this program; • ensuring that routine safety checks of work operations are performed; • conducting an annual review of this program, including an inspection of systems • updates (as needed) to ensure the effectiveness of the program; and, • ensuring that proper reporting and record keeping is executed.
Managers/Supervisors are responsible for:
• compliance with this program at site locations under their supervision. • performing routine safety checks of work operations;
• correcting any unsafe practices or conditions immediately; • ensuring employees have the proper tools and personal protective equipment for working on elevated work surfaces;
• coordinating employee schedules for training;
• notifying the Safety Manager of potential hazards requiring assessments, or improvements to the program.
City of Hawaiian Gardens - April 2018
73 10. Employee Safety and Training
Employees are responsible for:
• complying with all aspects of this program; and,
• cooperating in all safety and health matters;
• reporting incidents related to fall protection to your supervisor/foreman immediately; • wearing all required personal protective equipment - there are no exceptions; • inspecting the equipment in accordance with manufacturer's guidelines and instructions; and, • reporting hazardous conditions or other health and safety concerns immediately to your supervisor/foreman/project manager.
The program is reviewed at least annually to ensure both the safety of the company employees and compliance with the Cal/OSHA or Federal OSHA Fall Protection standards, as well as any state and local requirements.
FALL PROTECTION PROCEDURES
Basic Fall Protection
The floor of every workroom shall be maintained in a clean and, so far as possible, a dry condition.
Where wet processes are used, drainage shall be maintained, and false floors, platforms, mats, or other dry standing places should be provided where practicable.
Where mechanical handling equipment is used, sufficient safe clearances shall be allowed for aisles, at loading docks, through doorways and wherever turns or passage must be made.
Aisles and passageways shall be kept clear and in good repairs, with no obstruction across or in aisles that could create a hazard.
Every stairway floor opening shall be guarded by a standard railing constructed in accordance with applicable Cal/OSHA or Federal OSHA requirements. The railing shall be provided on all exposed sides (except at entrance to stairway).
Every ladder way floor opening or platform shall be guarded by a standard railing with standard toe-board on all exposed sides (except at entrance to opening), with the passage through the railing either provided with a swinging gate or so offset that a person cannot walk directly into the opening.
ENTERING & EXITING COMMERCIAL TRUCKS AND EQUIPMENT
Commercial drivers and equipment operators climb in and out of their trucks and equipment countless times a day, fortunately most do so without incident. While entering and exiting the cab of a truck or a piece of equipment appears to be a simple task, it is one of the leading causes of work related falls for drivers. Most of the time these incidents can be attributed to not following basic safety rules, or being complacent.
There are four basic steps you can take to reduce these types of injuries: 1) make sure City of Hawaiian Gardens - April 2018
74 10. Employee Safety and Training
and steps and grab handles are securely fastened and in good condition; 2) ensure that the grab handles and steps are free of debris such as mud, ice, grease, and other liquids; 3) make sure that the employees footwear is in good condition, and that the sole provides for maximum traction, and 4) make sure that employees are utilizing the threepoint contact method; this method requires the employee to always have three points of contact (two hands and one foot, or one hand and two feet) when entering or exiting the truck cab or piece of equipment.
It is important to observe employee behavior when it comes to entering and exiting trucks and equipment because most employees do not consider jumping from the first or second step as risky behavior. Supervisors need to correct this unsafe behavior when it is identified. They should also look for employees carrying items when entering and exiting; things such as lunch boxes, a cup of coffee, or paperwork.
TASKS AND WORK AREAS REQUIRING FALL PROTECTION
Refuse Truck Drivers & Mechanics
Employees who climb up onto a refuse collection truck or trailer shall be protected from falling by the use of a fall restraint device; fall restraint devices is a collection of equipment components that prevents the authorized person from falling over the edge of the truck or into the hopper, yet allows complete hands-free access to the working surface on the top of the truck.
One example of a Fall Restraint System is designed specifically for refuse collection vehicles. It consists of two parallel restraint lines that are permanently mounted to the top of the vehicle body, a unique dual lanyard connects to the restraint lines, and a comfortable work positioning belt is worn by the employee. Once the employee reaches the top of the vehicle, they clip their belt into the system using a swivel hook on the lanyard. They are able to walk the full length and width of the vehicle, while being prevented from going over the edge or into the hopper. This type of system can be specified on new vehicles or retrofitted to those already in the fleet. Its low profile also protects it from tree branches and other obstructions.
Climbing and Reaching
Climbing the ladder to reach the top of the truck creates the greatest exposure for a fall. The transition point from the ladder to the working surface (and back down) is the most difficult point to navigate without assistance from handholds. A bolt-on telescopic hand rail extension allows the climber to remain in an erect posture while maintaining three points of contact all the way through the transition and back down.
When not in use the device easily retracts out of the way next to the ladder.
City of Hawaiian Gardens - April 2018
75 10. Employee Safety and Training
Even though the nature of the job necessitates climbing at times, the best fall protection programs minimize the amount of climbing by doing as many tasks as possible with your feet firmly on the ground. Expandable reaching tools can assist in many routine tasks and are a key component to an effective fleet safety program. These tools can be used to safely clean and maintain vehicles from ground level. They may include expandable reaching poles that can be quickly fitted with various attachments, including a brush and scraper that can be extended to sweep front loader cab shields and safely clean tailgate seals without walking under a raised tailgate. They can also be used on rear loaders to clean the packing/sweep blade from a safe distance. Another attachment is a multifunction hook used to position tarps and secure bungee cords without climbing onto the truck. Mounting brackets are available to conveniently store the tools on the vehicle.
Material Recovery Facility (MRF)
The walking and working surfaces at the MRF shall be maintained in a clean and dry condition . All surfaces and stairs shall be kept clear of slip, trip and fall hazards. Employees are required to wear shoes with an anti -slip sole, and shoes should be inspected on a regular basis .
Employees who are required to perform any preventive maintenance or repairs outside of the guard-railing system will be required to use a personal fall arrest system.
All walking and working surfaces above four-feet shall be equipped with a guard railing system that includes a mid-rail and toe-boards.
Tarping Roll-Off Containers
Must roll-off containers can now be tarped after being picked-up with the use of an automatic tarping system. If you must tarp a bin manually, be sure to utilize an expandable reaching tool so that the task can be performed at ground level. You may also choose to use a fixed or rolling catwalk equipped with guard-railing for safer access.
Ladders
Ladders shall be maintained in good condition at all times, the joint between the steps and side rails shall be tight, all hardware and fittings securely attached, and the movable parts shall operate freely without binding or undue play.
City of Hawaiian Gardens - April 2018
76 10. Employee Safety and Training
Ladders shall be inspected frequently and those which have developed defects shall be withdrawn from service for repair or destruction and tagged or marked as "Dangerous, Do Not Use." All fixed ladders on the side of trucks shall be inspected daily as part of the driver's vehicle inspection report, and any defects must be reported immediately.
Rungs should be kept free of grease and oil.
Portable ladders shall be so placed that the side rails have a secure footing.
Ladders shall not be placed in front of doors opening toward the ladder unless the door is blocked upon, locked, or guarded.
Ladders shall not be placed on boxes, barrels, or other unstable bases to obtain additional height.
Ladders with broken or missing steps, rungs, or cleats, broken side rails, or other faulty equipment shall not be used; improvised repairs shall not be made.
Tops of the ordinary types of stepladders shall not be used as steps.
No ladder should be used to gain access to a roof unless the top of the ladder shall extend at least 3 feet above the point of support, at eave, gutter, or roofline.
A simple rule for setting up a ladder at the proper angle is to place the base a distance from the vertical wall equal to one-fourth the working length of the ladder.
When ascending or descending, the climber must face the ladder.
Employees should not lean too far over the side rails of a ladder such that is causes a fall hazard. A good "rule of thumb" is that employees keep their belt buckle within the side rails at all times.
FALL PROTECTION SYSTEMS
Only the safety manager and the immediate supervisor can make decisions on the proper fall protection system to be used for any specific application. Fall protection systems will only be utilized after careful consideration and task review.
All hole and wall covers are secured to prevent accidental displacement. • Covers are color-coded or bear the markings "HOLE" or "COVER". • Covers are able to support twice the weight of employees, equipment, and materials that might cross them.
• Covers located in roadways are able to support twice the axle load of the largest vehicle that might cross them .
Guardrail Systems
City of Hawaiian Gardens - April 2018
77 10. Employee Safety and Training
Guardrail systems are erected at unprotected edges, ramps, runways, or holes where it is determined by the safety manager and supervisor that erecting such systems will not cause an increased hazard to employees. The following specifications are followed in the erection of guardrail systems.
Top-rails are:
• at least¼ inch in diameter (steel or plastic banding is unacceptable); • flagged every six (6) feet or less with a high visibility material if wire rope is used; • inspected by supervisor as frequently as necessary to ensure strength and stability; • forty-two (42) inches (plus or minus three (3) inches) above the walking/working level.
Mid-rails, screens, mesh, intermediate vertical members, and solid panels are erected in accordance with the OSHA Fall Protection Standard.
A standard railing shall consist of top-rail, mid-rail, and posts, and shall have a vertical height of 42 inches nominal from upper surface oftop rail to floor, platform, runway, or ramp level. The top rail shall be smoothsurfaced throughout the length of the railing.
The mid-rail shall be approximately halfway between the top rail and the floor, platform, runway, or ramp.
The ends of the rails shall not overhang the terminal posts except where such overhang does not constitute a projection hazard.
A standard toe-board shall be 4 inches nominal in vertical height from its top edge to the level of the floor, platform, runway, or ramp. It shall be securely fastened in place and with not more than 1/4-inch clearance above floor level. It may be made of any substantial material either solid or with openings not over 1 inch in greatest dimension.
Personal Fall Arrest Systems
Personal fall arrest systems are used by employees as determined by the safety manager and may consist of anchorage, connectors, body harness, deceleration device, lifeline, or suitable combinations.
Personal fall arrest systems :
• limit the maximum arresting force to 1,800 pounds;
• are rigged so an employee cannot free fall more than six (6) feet or contact any lower level; • bring an employee to a complete stop and limit the maximum deceleration distance traveled to three and a half (3 ½ ) feet;
• are strong enough to withstand twice the potential impact energy of an employee free falling six (6) feet (or the free fall distance permitted by the system, whichever is less); • are inspected prior to each use for damage and deterioration; and • are removed from service if any damaged components are detected.
All components of a fall arrest system meet the specifications of the OSHA Fall Protection Standard, and are used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
The use of non-locking snap hooks is prohibited.
Dee-rings and locking snap hooks :
• have a minimum tensile strength of 5000 pounds; and
City of Hawaiian Gardens - April 2018
78 10. Employee Safety and Training
• are proof-tested to a minimum tensile load of 3600 pounds without cracking, breaking, or suffering permanent deformation.
Lifelines are:
• designed, installed, and used under the supervision of a qualified person - one who, by possession of a recognized degree, certificate, or professional standing, or who by extensive knowledge, training, and experience, has successfully demonstrated his ability to solve or resolve problems relating to the subject matter, the work, or the project.
• protected against cuts and abrasions; and
• equipped with horizontal lifeline connection devices capable of locking in both directions on the lifeline when used on suspended scaffolds or similar work platforms that have horizontal lifelines that may become vertical lifelines.
• Self-retracting lifelines and lanyards have ropes and straps (webbing) made of synthetic fibers, and • sustain a minimum tensile load of 3,600 pounds if they automatically limit free fall distance to two (2) feet; or
• sustain a minimum tensile load of 5,000 pounds (includes rip stitch, tearing, and deforming lanyards).
Anchorages support at least 5,000 pounds per person attached and are:
• designed, installed, and used under the supervision of a qualified person • capable of supporting twice the weight expected to be imposed on it; and • independent of any anchorage used to support or suspend platforms.
Positioning Device Restraint Systems
Body belt or body harness systems are set up so that an employee can free fall no farther than two (2) feet, and are secured to an anchorage capable of supporting twice the potential impact load or 3,000 pounds, whichever is greater. Requirements for snap hooks, dee-rings, and other connectors are the same as detailed in this Program under Personal Fall Arrest Systems.
TRAINING
All employees are trained in and familiar with hazards related to falls, and how to use proper procedures to minimize these hazards. Specifically, training must include, at a minimum :
• nature of the fall hazards employees may be exposed to; • the correct use of the site-specific fall plan (Appendix B); • correct procedures for maintaining and inspecting fall protection systems; • use and operation of guardrails, fall restraint systems, and personal fall arrest systems; • requirements of the OSHA Fall Protection Standard .
In addition, retraining must be provided for each employee as necessary, so that the employee maintains the understanding/knowledge necessary for the safe performance of specific tasks needing to be conducted by that individual.
Additional training is provided:
• when there is a change in job responsibilities;
• a change in equipment that present a new hazard; or,
• when their work takes them into hazardous areas .
Additional retraining is also provided whenever a periodic inspection reveals, or whenever there is reason to believe there are deviations from or inadequacies in an employee's knowledge of known hazards.
City of Hawaiian Gardens - April 2018
79 10. Employee Safety and Training
Following each training session, the employee is required to sign and date the training record verifying attendance.
Motor Vehicle Incident/Moving Violation Policy
Incident
Any contact between your vehicle and another person, vehicle, or object is considered an incident whether or not there was damage or injury.
Incident Reporting
All incidents, regardless of how minor, must be immediately reported to the dispatcher, or supervisor in accordance with company policy. Failure to report an incident in a timely manner may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination .
Major Safety Incidents
For incident reporting purposes, a major incident is one involving a company vehicle; this includes, but is not limited to:
• Fatality
• Pedestrian or bicyclist incident
• Failure to stop and immediately report an incident in which you are involved • Driver cited for a moving violation
• Any injury requiring medical attention away from the scene • Property damage in excess of $5,000
• Vehicle fire
• Incidents where driver drug and/or alcohol may be involved Minor Safety Incidents
All other incidents that do not meet the definition of a "major" incident.
Safety Investigation leave
Any employee involved in a major incident will be placed on administrative leave while the incident is being investigated to determine root causes and preventability. Administrative leave is unpaid unless the incident is determined to be non-preventable. Employees may perform other non-safety sensitive work if available and/or appropriate until final determination is made.
Safety Point System
Commercial Waste Services safety results are directly relat ed to the actions and behaviors of our employees . At-risk behaviors lead to incidents and injuries. Therefore, all Commercial Waste Services safety sensitive employees are subject to a Safety Point Program rating which assesses cumulative points for at risk behaviors and actions.
Any work-related incident, which involves an employee at Commercial Waste Services will be investigated and may result in Safety Points being assigned.
If the incident is determined to have been preventable by the Commercial Waste Services employee, then it will be considered a preventable incident. While an incident may not be legally considered your "fault", it will be treated as preventable, regardless of the cost to Commercial Waste Services. Even minor damage incidents cost the company money in terms of repairs, lost vehicle or driver time, staff time etc. Any damage to a company vehicle will City of Hawaiian Gardens - April 2018
80 10. Employee Safety and Training
automatically be assessed to the most recent employee who drove that vehicle and who failed to report it on a daily vehicle inspection report (DVIR).
Preventability of Incidents
The determination as to whether an incident could have been preventable will be made by the Fleet Manager and/or Safety Director. It is subject to review by the Operations Manager; if there is a disagreement it will be given to the General Manager who will make the final determination based on all available evidence.
Disciplinary Action
Any employee who has a preventable incident will be subject to re-training and/or discipline up to and including termination based on the safety point system.
Although most situations will be addressed by issuing safety points, Commercial Waste Services reserves the right to impose discipline, up to and including termination, for any unsafe act, failure to follow safe work practices and/or procedures, or negligent operation of a company vehicle regardless of the point assessment under the safety point system. Unsafe behaviors are also su bject to disciplinary action regardless of whether they lead to injury.
Accruing Safety Points
All preventable incidents will be assigned points in the following manner:
Unsafe maneuver(s) or act
Failure to conduct a proper vehicle inspection report (DVIR) Improper following distance
Conviction of a minor traffic violation
Backing related incident

11. Implementation Plan
11. Implementation Plan
Commercial Waste Services recognizes the importance of a smooth transition; benefiting both the city and the awarded service company. The key components of the plan proposed by Commercial Waste Services consists of three key concepts:
1. Education
2. Consideration
3. Execution
Education is an integral part of Commercial Waste Services' mission to enhance the future of waste handling services. As is important in all aspects, an educated community is a prepared community. With this in mind, Commercial Waste Services will educate the staff of the current process by which waste is collected within the City of Hawaiian Gardens. An analysis of the current waste removal schedule will be conducted to strategize and establish the most efficient and non-disruptive execution of the plan.
City of Hawaiian Gardens -April 2018 88
11. Implementation Plan
1. Education
It is a crucial part of the initial stages of implementation that CWS staff is prepared to aid the community by familiarizing themselves with the current ongoings in the City of Hawaiian Gardens. CWS will achieve this preparation by utilizing the residential data set supplied by the City of Hawaiian Gardens to populate the customer database and to prepare its distribution plan. The distribution plan will include the distribution of Public Education Materials (PEM's) to notify residents about the benefits of the new contract and how they may take full advantage of all the new programs available to them. • Pamphlets will provide information regarding the distribution of new containers, when the residents can expect them to arrive, and the process for exchanging them. We will also include reminders regarding the proper materials to be placed in each container. • Public Education Materials will be hand delivered to every residential door to ensure that all residents receive notification.
2. Consideration
When making a change as large as this, it is important to be considerate of the community, the City, and the previously contracted company, which is why CWS chooses to meet with current haulers as an important step for a smooth transition . CWS has decided to share a delivery schedule of containers to allow the previous hauler to know when they would be expected to remove containers . As it is key to make a speedy transition as well as efficient, CWS will also allow the current hauler to use our transitional storage facility to help in facilitating the change most considerately.
A transition facility will be acquired by CWS in order to aid in the storage of equipment to be moved in as well as to be used temporarily by the current hauler so as not to have any delays in the proposed transition schedule. A transition facility is a storage lot large enough to store the carts and bins required to service the City of Hawaiian Gardens. This process will aid in streamlining the process of CWS feels by obtaining a transition facility scheduling all the bins and carts to get delivered prior the implementation phase will streamline the whole process. Not only will this allow CWS to provide better more efficient service and a quicker transition period this will also reduce a great deal of traffic for the City of Hawaiian Gardens, thereby reducing unnecessary wear and tear on city streets. It will also reduce the amount CWS vehicles travel, reducing fuel consumption, reducing excess emissions and reducing fuel consumption costs resulting in more competitive rates for the residents and businesses of the City of Hawaiian Gardens.

Commercial Bin Delivery Plan
Commercial Waste Services will be utilizing Distributors' unlimited to supply all the commercial containers the city of Hawaiian Gardens would require.
• Commercial Waste Services will have sufficient recycling containers in stock to create new recycling accounts for all commercial customers.
• Commercial Waste Services and the manufacturer will work together to distribute containers to all commercially served customers in cooperation with the current contracted hauler to ensure minimal disruption and a seamless transition to the customers. • Commercial Waste Services proposes to use a variety of types of container delivery trucks for the City of Hawaiian Gardens:
• Container delivery trucks are designed to deliver commercial containers without damaging the surface of the customer's property.
• They are light and quiet so as to not disturb residents. • Depending on the needs, Commercial Waste Services will use container storage trucks to deliver one dumpster at a time or multiple containers simultaneously. • If need be, these trucks can be used to pull out dumpsters from tight alley or other hard to service areas.
• In addition, Commercial Waste Services strives to provide the safest, environmentally protective and most efficient fleet possible by equipping collection vehicles with one or more of the following items depending on the application and configuration of the vehicle:
• "Pack at idle systems" and Engine Idle time limiter to reduce emissions • Automatic transmissions that reduce emissions and allow drivers to focus more on their City of Hawaiian Gardens -April 2018 91

surroundings and safety versus shifting gears
• Retarders to assist in braking.
• Larger than industry standard brake lining to improve overall braking performance All equipment is well maintained and will be kept in a "like new," safe and clean operating condition throughout the term of the agreement. We accomplish this by using synthetic or semi-synthetic fluids that allow for extended oil drain intervals in engines, transmissions, differentials and hydraulic systems. The use of these fluids reduces the amount of virgin petroleum stock required as well as reduces the amount of used oils that are returned to the environment.
All trucks are outfitted with safety equipment to protect the vehicle operator and those around him or her. For example, back-up alarms and flashers warn vehicles or people nearby that the truck is in motion.
All trucks are equipped with a rear camera that relays images onto a monitor inside the truck cab to show the driver what is behind him in the truck's blind spot. d. Community Meetings
• Prior to the beginning of the Contract, Commercial Waste Services shall conduct community meetings to introduce residents, multifamily residents, businesses, commercial establishments, and industrial customers within the City of the City's services and to outline new programs and service offerings.
• At least two weeks prior to the scheduled community meetings, Commercial Waste Services will notify all customers of the upcoming meetings.
• By answering residents' questions and introducing new value added services in person, we aim to make customers comfortable and well informed about any proposed services offered and of any changes to existing services.
• Collection containers and Public Education Materials will be on-site giving customers the opportunity to see the services available to them first hand. • Additional informational meetings will be held as needed during the life of the contract. e. 26 Point Implementation Check List

11.B Organics Waste Recycling
Commercial Waste Services (CWS) will contract with Clements Environmental Corp. (Clements) to provide all customer education, outreach, and training. This work will also include waste characterization assessments and surveys to determine the success and deficiencies of the organics program . Clements will also provide similar work for the commercial recycling outreach, training, and waste assessments.
The following is a copy of the organics waste recycling programs as outlined in the work plan.
As described in Section 6.2.1 :
Residential Organics and Food Waste Recycling
Commercial Waste Services will offer an optional organics and food waste recycling program to its residential customers. CWS will contract with Clements Environmental Corp. (Clements) to provide all organics program education, outreach, and waste characterization work. CWS, in collaboration with Clements, proposes the following for its food waste recycling program:
1. All residential customers will receive an invitation to participate in the optional food waste recycling program upon start of service, along with program-specific informational pamphlets (PEMs), and instructions on what materials are allowed and are not allowed in the cart. The program will utilize the existing residential 64-gallon green waste cart.
2. Prior to or within the first ninety (90) days of starting food waste collection services, a Clements account representative w ill visit the residential home to provide a one-on-one introductory presentation on food waste recycling, what to do, and what to expect.
3. On this initial site visit, the account representative will also conduct a foodwaste survey to determine an estimated foodwaste quantity and type from the enrolled household. This survey takes into consideration number of residents within the household, household grocery budget, and diet.
4. Residential customers enrolled in this program will be allowed to place their foodwaste materials in their green waste carts. Depending on the level of participation, a separate collection vehicle may service these accounts.
5. These organic materials will be delivered to Oak Tree Worm Farm to be processed into nutrient-rich compost through the vermicomposting process .
6. At least once a year, a Clements account representative will conduct a waste characterization study on the residential household's organics cart to assess the ratio of foodwaste to greenwaste, and percentage of contamination (e.g. non-organics).
7. At least one a year, Clements will facilitate a waste characterization study on the organic waste tipped at Oak Tree Worm Farm as part of this program to provide the City with information on the effectiveness and potential deficiencies of this program.
8. Residents enrolled in this program will receive quarterly PE Ms relating to organic and food waste recycling, relevant state regulations (e.g. AB 1826 and SB 1383), and any program progress reports.
City of Hawaiian Gardens -April 2018

11. B Organic Waste Recycling
On a regular basis, CWS will provide program progress reports to the City detailing program successes and deficiencies. These progress reports will contain the results from any completed waste characterization studies.
10. Per State regulations (AB 1826 and SB 1383), CWS will provide copies of all education and outreach material provided to the City along with the frequency of material distribution.
As described in Section 6.3.8:
Multifamily Green Waste/ Organics Recycling Collection
To help the City meet the requirements of AB 1826, the mandatory commercial and multi-family organics recycling regulations, CWS will enroll all multi-family businesses in an organics recycling program. With the help of Clements, CWS proposes the following for the multi-family organics recycling program:
1. All multi-family complex owners and residents will receive an invitation to participate in the organics program upon start of service, along with program-specific informational pamphlets (PEMs), and instructions on what materials are allowed and are not allowed in the cart. This program will offer a new 96-gallon green waste cart.
• Based on industry experience, the 96-gallon cart for an organics program can weigh over 400 pounds from dense food waste and other organics, thus being very difficult to handle safely. CWS will continually evaluate this program, and substitute the 96-gallon cart for multiple smaller carts.
2. In addition to the PEMs, all multi-family complex owners and residents will initially receive information about AB 1826 regulatory requirements. As new regulations are adopted, these customers will received updated information as applicable to their collection service.
3. Prior to or within ninety (90) days of starting food waste collection services, a Clements account representative will visit the multi-family complex to provide a one-on-one introductory presentation on food waste recycling, what to do, and what to expect.
4. On this initial site visit, the account representative will also conduct a foodwaste survey to determine an estimated foodwaste quantity and type from the enrolled household. This survey takes into consideration number of residents within the household, household grocery budget, and diet. This information may be provided by the complex manager in lieu of individual complex units, or estimated using best available data.
5. Multi-family customers enrolled in this program will be allowed to place their foodwaste materials in their green waste carts. Depending on the level of participation, a separate collection vehicle may service these accounts.
6. These organic materials will be delivered to Oak Tree Worm Farm to be processed into nutrient-rich compost through the vermicomposting process.
7. At least once a year, a Clements account representative will conduct a waste characterization study on the multi-family complex's organics cart to assess the ratio of foodwaste to greenwaste, and percentage of contamination (e.g. non-organics).

As described in Section 6.4.5:
Commercial Organics Recycling Program
In compliance with AB 1826, CWS will evaluate each commercial business to determine the estimated solid waste and organic waste generated per week. CWS will compare this waste study with the current collection services to assess which businesses are currently in compliance with these regulations, and which businesses to target for program implementation. CWS will complete this assessment as expeditiously as possible to understand the City's commercial businesses' waste generation.
Consistent with the requirements of AB 1826, all businesses which generate eight (8) cubic yards or more of solid waste, or four (4) cubic yards or more of organic waste per week will be offered organic waste recycling services.
Starting January 1, 2019, all businesses which generate four (4) cubic yard or more will be offered organic waste recycling services .
CWS proposes to offer all businesses organic waste recycling services, but will target the businesses as described above. Clements will provide all education, outreach, and waste characterization work. CWS proposes the following organics recycling program:
1. All commercial businesses will receive an invitation to participate in the organics program upon start of service, along with program-specific informational pamphlets (PEMs), and instructions on what materials are allowed and are not allowed in the cart. This program will offer a new 96-gallon green waste cart. • Based on industry experience, the 96-gallon cart for an organics program can weigh over 400 pounds from dense food waste and other organics, thus being very difficult to handle safely. CWS will continually evaluate this program, and substitute the 96-gallon cart for multiple smaller carts.
2. In addition to the PEMs, all businesses will initially receive information about AB 1826 regulatory requirements. As new regulations are adopted, these customers will received updated information as applicable to their collection service.

5. Businesses enrolled in this program will be provided a 64-gallon or 96-gallon green waste cart and be allowed to place their foodwaste materials in this green waste carts. Depending on the level of participation, a separate collection vehicle may service these accounts.
6. These organic materials will be delivered to Oak Tree Worm Farm to be processed into nutrient-rich compost through the vermicomposting process.
7. At least once a year, a Clements account representative will conduct a waste characterization study on the business' organics cart to assess the ratio of foodwaste to greenwaste, and percentage of contamination (e.g. non-organics).

SUBJECT: WASTE DELIVERIES TO THE CITY OF LONG BEACH SERRF FACILITY Dear Mr. Petrosian:
The City of Long Beach operates the Southeast Resource Recovery Facility (SERRF), located in the City of Long Beach. The facility is permitted to receive 2,240 tons per day of residential and commercial solid waste and combusts up to 10,000 tons per week. SER RF provides diversion through transformation and generates enough electricity to provide the needs of 35,000 households.
Although SERRF does not guarantee waste allocation to any hauler or jurisdiction, we have for the past 28 years provided solid waste diversion services to businesses and jurisdictions in the Southern California region and intend to continue those services for many years to come.
Commercial Waste Services (CWS) is currently a hauler in good standing and is encouraged to deliver waste to SERRF.
AB-939, the Integrated Waste Management Act, established in 1989, allows jurisdictions in California to send waste to transformation facilities like SERRF to receive diversion credit toward their mandatory recycling goals. Jurisdictions can deliver up to 1 O percent of their total waste generated to SERRF and receive 100 percent recycling credit for that material.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to call me at (562) 570-7840.

Commercial Waste Services has been a valued vendor for two years and we have been completely satisfied with their performance. They do an excellent job, are always punctual, offer the most competitive rates, and always do exactly what we ask of them.
In the past we used Republic Services but due to the unpredictability and inconsistency of service we were always looking for a more responsible vendor. Commercial Waste has been knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly. They expertly take care of each order and offer timely communication regardless of the size of the project. As a local waste and recycling company specializing in construction remodels, residential cleanouts and film events we place a high value on courtesy, professionalism and timeliness. We are glad to have a vendor who holds these values in the same regard. •' ---i happy to recommend the services of Commercial Waste Services.

6.1.19 Removal and Recycling of Existing Carts
When embarking on a change of service as large as this, lt Is crucial to be considerate of the community, the City, and the previously contracted hauler. The first step to ensuring a smooth transition is for CWS to meet with the current hauler. CWS will share its proposed cart and container delivery schedule with the current hauler, to allow the hauler to provide comment and feedback on any potential deficiencies or time gaps. This will help give the current hauler the guidance and timeline needed to organize the removal of their own carts.
If the current hauler fails to remove their own carts, CWS has an available transitional storage facility to store these carts immediately. CWS wm offer this storage space to the current hauler to encourage a smooth, quick, and efficient transition.
CWS will develop a transition facility to store equipment, bins, containers, and carts temporarily to minimize any delays in the proposed transition schedule and missed collections. This storage facility will aid in streamlining the transition process between haulers by providing adequate space for all the carts and bins required to service the City of Hawaiian Gardens. A temporary storage location will also reduce traffic by reducing the miles CWS vehicles must travel back and forth for collection equipment. Reducing traffic has compounded benefits including eliminating unnecessary wear and tear on City streets and reducing truck emissions (greenhouse gases).

STPL-5387-017)
SUMMARY
On February 3, 2024, the City’s Engineering Division applied for federal funding related to the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement program (CMAQ) and Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBG) through the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). The City requested $1.5 million from federal STBG funds with a required local City match of $204,342.
SCAG initially placed this funding request on its contingency list. However, following ongoing follow-ups and meetings with Metro, Caltrans, and the SCAG team, the City was informed by LA Metro on March 6, 2025, that immediate action was needed to pursue a new funding opportunity. This opportunity pertained to the 'Citywide Street Restriping, Speed Feedback, and Traffic Calming' project in Hawaiian Gardens, which had been submitted as part of the SCAG 2024 Nomination. As a result, the City is set to receive the full requested amount of $1.5 million.
On May 28, 2025, the City Council approved Willdan Engineering’s proposal in the amount of $100,160 for the provision of engineering design and federal grant administration services and approved the following street segments for this project:

1. Norwalk Boulevard Carson Street 226th Street
2. Pioneer Boulevard 221st Street 226th Street
3. Juan Avenue Carson Street 214th Street
As is typical with federally funded projects, extensive documentation was required prior to fund authorization. Over the past four months, the City’s engineering team worked closely with the consultant to prepare and submit all necessary documentation, including the Preliminary Environmental Study (PES), Right of Way (ROW) Certification, and the Request for Authorization (RFA) packages to Caltrans, under a tight deadline set by both Metro and Caltrans.
On August 15, 2025, the City received the signed E-76 form from Caltrans, officially authorizing the City to proceed with the construction phase of the project.
The project’s scope of work includes cold milling existing Asphalt Concrete (AC); overlaying the full street width with Asphalt Rubber Hot Mix (ARHM); crack sealing; removing and replacing damaged curbs and gutters, sidewalks, and driveway approaches; installing new ADA compliant curb ramps; Refreshing and replacing traffic striping and markings and replacing vehicle detector loops. Also, in accordance with the adopted Bike Master Plan, the existing bike lanes on Norwalk Boulevard between Carson Street and 226th Street will be upgraded to include a 5-foot-wide bike lane with a 2-foot buffer separating the bike lane from the vehicle travel lane on both sides of the roadway to improve visibility and safety for bicyclists.
On October 2, 2025, the City Clerk received eight (8) sealed bids for the project which are as follows:
Sequel Contractors, Santa Fe Springs, CA $1,335,200.00
Copp Contracting, Inc., Buena Park, CA $1,366,291.70

Some floor boards are broken in the middle of the boards and some that are splinters on the connection between tongue and groove area, this indicated a low ware layer manifesting with some more board that may need to be repaired after sanding and may splinter, wood filler will not adhere to some cracks/ separation between boards as they are filed with old finish. 2) As per site visit , floor has some dead spots, usually this can be fixed by first pass of sanding 36 grit at 45 degree to the grain, unfortunately due to low wear layer this can not be done on this floor so dead spots, deep scratches ( by bleachers) and some discoloration will remain after sanding. 3) Given your acceptance of these limitation, we can sand this floor carefully according to national maple wood association specs and Apply all game lines and logo as per provided design.
