requirements.
Once a Customer has requested Construction and Demolition Debris Collection service, Contractor shall complete the following tasks to establish the Construction and Demolition Debris Diversion Program. For purposes of this Agreement, Contractor shall be found to have “fully implemented” Construction and Demolition Debris Diversion Programs at a job site only if all of the following have been completed by Contractor:

Representative (for purposes of this section the “Authorized Customer Representative” is the construction
superintendent/manager, owner, or on-site manager if that Person has decision-making authority; or if Customer is a corporation with multiple locations and centralized decisionmaking, the management Person with decision-making authority. In the case of a broker or waste arranger, the Authorized Customer Representative is the Person who has the decision-making authority for the construction and/or demolition project) and explained the requirements in the Act, in City’s Municipal Code, and in CalGreen for the Customer to Divert at least the minimum required percentage of

76 The team of professionals at CR&R is ready to serve the Cities of Lake Forest and Laguna Hills.
We offer the benefit of our extensive experience and the outstanding compliance results achieved in each City. Our team is well-versed in the unique service and safety needs of the Lake Forest and Laguna Hills communities. We also have seen firsthand the City’s commitment to leadership in ensuring exceptional services, state regulatory compliance, and continuous improvement to benefit the residents and business community. As noted in the City of Lake Forest’s 2023 Community Survey, among the services provided by the Public Works Department, garbage collection ranked 95% as the most important service.
We recognize the importance of building upon the existing services and taking them to the next level with the expansion of technology, introduction of electric vehicles, and engaging residents and businesses to impact overall quality of program participation through a shift in sorting behavior, ultimately leading to a reduction in contamination to support City and State goals. From a review of the Lake Forest community survey and our experience serving both cities, it’s evident we have more work to do, and our team is ready for the challenge.
From CR&R’s Sustainability Team to the members of our Operations and Implementation team, CR&R is committed to serving the Cities of Lake Forest and Laguna Hills. We understand the complexities of service delivery, and the importance of our number one priority - safety - for all employees, residents, and community members. Our team members have exceptional experience from roll-out to contract administration, billing set-up, to content generation. We are ready to continue our partnership, and CR&R is ready to continue service in both Cities.
Over the past 60 years, CR&R has implemented numerous refuse, recycling, and organics management programs. CR&R has successfully transitioned services in sixteen (16) municipalities over the last ten (10) years. In each City, we completed a comprehensive implementation process, with a focus on communication with municipal staff, community engagement and developed robust outreach and education programs. These efforts, along with the support of our experienced team and the benefit of our expansive infrastructure, have resulted in a seamless, proven process.
PROPOSAL FORM 13: IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Attachment C: Implementation Plan
77 IMPLEMENTATION CHART WITH WEEKLY PLAN
Included in the Appendix is an overview of the comprehensive week-by-week implementation timeline starting with the award of the contract and continuing through 90 days after the commencement of services. A detailed narrative description of this timeline is provided on the pages that follow the timeline.
Status Meetings with the City
CR&R proposes to begin implementation meetings with City staff as soon as City Council approves the new Franchise Agreement. Initial meetings would include CR&R’s Regional Vice President, City Liaison, Senior Sustainability Manager, City Sustainability Coordinators, and Operations staff. Together we will review the developed informational material, the anticipated delivery schedules, as well as any concerns that may be anticipated for the start-up.
Proposed Meeting Frequency
We propose bi-weekly meetings with City staff starting immediately upon award of the new Franchise Agreement. Three months prior to commencement, we propose increasing the meeting frequency to weekly. CR&R proposes continuing weekly meetings for the first three months of the new contract, then bi-weekly meetings until the City is comfortable with transitioning to the standard monthly meetings.
PUBLIC INFORMATION AND CONSUMER EDUCATION
CR&R has many valuable years of experience in designing, implementing, and administrating highly effective public outreach campaigns that encourage community members to learn about reducing waste and preserving natural resources. As a company dedicated to promoting recycling, CR&R understands that public education and outreach plays an important part in the process of any solid waste management program to continually inform segments of the community about recycling programs and changes in legislation.
Through our public outreach, we provide residents, businesses, and community stakeholders with specific recycling programs and activities that serve to inform and encourage participation in source separated recycling programs to support SB 1383 program compliance. CalRecycle staff continually monitors and tracks City program progress year over year to evaluate effectiveness and if enhancements are needed to increase participation. CR&R stands ready to be your resource and ally in developing solutions that are business-friendly and effective.
78 CR&R has more than a decade of experience with an in-house team of more than 20 Sustainability Coordinators who engage and inform customers of the programs and services available to them. We found that with appropriate staffing and in person customer contact obstacles to implementing recycling programs can be eliminated and goals met.
Materials such as custom newsletters, inserts, print advertisement, and visual materials (signs, posters, charts, and pictures) will serve to carry specific messages and images that will help deliver the overall messaging for community-wide sustainability. Outreach materials are tailored for specific target audiences such as residential, commercial, and multifamily. Additionally, the dedicated Sustainability Team will provide supplemental training materials during individual customer program implementation.
CR&R recognizes the critical importance of communication with the public throughout this transition process and to support continued participation and engagement in recycling and organics programs. Customers will need information about CR&R’s service delivery as well as education about new programs. CR&R will fully comply with all requirements described in Attachment B Scope of Work, including the following:

AUTOMATED CARTS
CR&R is proposing new carts for the collection of solid waste, recyclables, green waste, and organics as required in the RFP and as described in Form 12. Carts will be uniform in appearance using the specified color for each waste stream consisting of black for refuse, blue for recycling, and green for green waste and organics. These containers are stackable, which allows for an efficient delivery process, and they are similar to the containers currently utilized by the City.
CR&R has an excellent, long-standing relationship with automated cart manufacturers. The carts will be ordered upon award of contract, and CR&R will work diligently to have any required carts ready for distribution to customers as early as three months prior to the start of the new services.
As the incumbent, it is our intent to complete any necessary cart deliveries incrementally, finishing well before the start of the new contract. CR&R will coordinate with the Cities all necessary aspects to ensure a smooth and seamless transition.
Survey of Residential Customers
CR&R will survey Residential Customers to determine the size of the cart they prefer for each material prior to the distribution of carts. Once CR&R confirms the anticipated delivery date of the carts, the timing of the two-part postcard or mailer will be confirmed. Customers will be asked to mail back the postcard portion of the mailer, or use an online survey program, to indicate their
81 choice of carts and any additional carts. CR&R will complete this process as described in Section
1.4.1.1 of the Scope of Work.
Charges for Extra Residential Carts and Non-Containerization In conjunction with the residential survey, CR&R will provide direct mail a targeted notice to all Single-Family Residential Premises with extra carts to allow for the opportunity to make any changes prior to commencement on July 1, 2025. Customers will have the option of having extra carts removed. CR&R will also notify Single Family Customers regarding the prohibition against non-containerization, notifying them that as of October 1, 2025, all customers are required to containerize all materials.
BINS
In addition to meeting the RFP’s requirement for carts, CR&R is also proposing new bins. CR&R also has an excellent, long-standing relationship with bin manufacturers and will have bins ready for delivery prior to the implementation date. CR&R will also order Bin Sensors and initiate installation as early as 30 days prior to the start of the new contract. All required bin exchanges will occur prior to the start of the new contract.
Container Maintenance
CR&R’s container maintenance program is managed by our shop and maintenance personnel daily. We do not subcontract our container maintenance to third party vendors. We also maintain daily inventories of each container size and color to be able to address our customers' needs.
Our container delivery personnel are required to notify management if any inventory category reaches a certain minimum level. This serves as a second layer of protection against shortages.
If a customer requests an exchange of their container, it is performed on the next scheduled collection day. If the customer states that there is a safety issue with the container, then an emergency ticket is submitted, and the container is switched out within 24 hours.
VEHICLES
CR&R is proposing the use of RNG-fueled collection vehicles as well as the deployment of lightweight and electric vehicles as required in the RFP and as noted in Form 9. All vehicles will be ordered immediately upon awarding the contract. Beginning four-to-six weeks prior to the commencement of the new contract, the vehicles will be painted and licensed.
82 Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
CR&R plans to install an EV charging station at our facility in Stanton and used for overnight charging. The process of permitting and installing the Stanton EV charging station is currently in process.
RESIDENTIAL CURBSIDE COLLECTION
CR&R proposes a three-cart collection program, including a refuse cart for materials that can only be sent to the landfill, a recyclables cart for commingled recyclable materials, and an organics cart for commingled yard trimmings, food waste, and manure/stable bedding.
Additional Services
CR&R will provide the following additional components as part of the Residential service program, in full compliance with the requirements described in the Agreement and Scope of Work:
x In-Home Kitchen Pails
x Bulky Item Collection
x Special Events Collection
x Holiday Greenery Collection and Recycling
x Household Hazardous Waste Collection
x Household Hazardous Waste Drop Off
x Bulky Item Drop Off
x Sharps Mail-in Service
x Composting Workshops
x Compost Giveaway Events
COMMERCIAL AND MULTIFAMILY COLLECTION
CR&R will provide bin collection services including refuse, source separated recyclables, green waste, and organic waste. We will also offer Internal Organics Collection Containers to commercial organics customers at cost and offer In-Home Kitchen Pails to multifamily customers at no additional charge.
83 Split Bin Recycling Program
Some commercial and multifamily customers have barriers to participating in recycling programs due to space constraints. To address these concerns, CR&R has split bins available and in use in both cities of Lake Forest and Laguna Hills for commercial and multifamily customers with commercial bin service. The split bin utilizes either a 3-yard or 4-yard bin which is partitioned down the middle providing collection of trash on one side and recycling on the other. Customers have the option to lock one or both sides of the bin. The special lid on the recycle side of the bin minimizes contamination and encourages participants to break down items, such as cardboard, before tossing them in the recycle side of the bin. The special lid also deters scavenging from occurring. The split bin is ideal for properties with space constraints. CR&R will continue to offer this option to multi-family and commercial customers to ensure appropriate capacity for the recycling program within the collection space available.
84 ADDITIONAL SERVICES
CR&R will provide the following additional components as part of the Commercial and Multifamily service program, in full compliance with the requirements described in the Agreement:
x Roll-Off Box and Compactor Collection
x Temporary Bin Service
x Exclusive C&D Services for Lake Forest
x Bin Push-Out Service or Scout Services
x Locking Bins
x Bin Sensors
CUSTOMER SERVICE
CR&R’s tremendous service transition
experience gives our team essential expertise
in managing customer growth that comes with
the award of a new franchise agreement. Using
our continual call volume monitoring, call
volumes are used to project staffing for both
steady state and transition periods.
Training and preparing existing and any newly
hired staff will occur to ensure a comprehensive
knowledge of the new contract services. As a
result of these activities, our Customer Service
Representatives (CSR’s) will be well prepared
to handle customer calls during the transition and throughout the term of the franchise.
Training will include extensive involvement by Operational staff, who will be overseeing cart and bin exchanges, and implementing the routing transition. Any updates in routing details will also be incorporated into the training and setup in the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system prior to service initiation date for the Cities of Lake Forest and Laguna Hills. As a result of these activities, our CSR’s will be well prepared to handle customer calls during service initiation and throughout the term of the agreement.
85 These resources are in addition to the increase in permanent staff that is planned for handling the steady state of call inquiries that are anticipated as a regular course of business.
BILLING SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION
CR&R has extensive experience integrating customer information into its computer database and will be able to do so seamlessly for the Cities of Lake Forest and Laguna Hills. CR&R will meet all timeline requirements for the data request, data analysis and reporting as specified in the Scope of Work. CR&R will also fully comply with the preparation and distribution of the 1st and 2nd Direct Mail pieces to both Single Family Dwellings and Multi-Plex Property Owners and Residents related to direct billing, as described in Sections 1.1 and 1.2 of the Scope of Work. In addition, CR&R will complete the Social Media and Website Page postings as described in the Scope of Work.
CR&R will meet all requirements for Residential, Commercial, Multi-Family and Roll-Off Billing as described in Section 1.1 of the Scope of Work. This includes the requirements for audits, the maintaining of billing records, access to records by the City and the process for billing shared containers.
ROUTING IMPLEMENTATION
CR&R has a routing system complete with the following structure to ensure that our drivers are monitored and remain on route throughout the day.
x Automated and paper routes with designated start times and end times along with tracking of each stop and the service time.
x CR&R will develop a target completion time for each route and hold the driver accountable.
This will ensure that we can meet the City’s service window as outlined in the collection agreement and/or ordinance.
Route Managers will meet each morning with their designated drivers to hold a tailgate safety meeting and to discuss any special route requirements for the day. x Route Managers will be available throughout the day to supervise the routes to ensure compliance with the collection time window and take care of any customer issues that occur throughout the day.
86 x At the completion of the workday, all routes are turned into our Industrial Engineering Department where they are uploaded into the computer system and a daily routing report is generated.
x The following day, the route managers review the report and discuss any inconsistencies with the appropriate driver.
x At the end of the month, a monthly report is prepared to review the percentage (%) of service delivery for each route to ensure that the company is meeting our internal goal of 95%.
SAFETY PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
CR&R understands the unique safety needs of Lake Forest and Laguna Hills. CR&R strives to provide a culture of safety in all aspects of our operations. CR&R is especially proud of its safety record and works daily to ensure that our employees make the right decision in every element of their job. We recognize that safety is everyone’s responsibility. It starts at the top with our Executive Team which sets the expectation and culture that nothing is more important than safety and reinforces this commitment by hosting a monthly safety review with the executive staff, senior managers, operation managers and route managers in attendance.
We recognize that our most important and valuable asset is our people. For them to be successful, our Senior Management Team continues to provide its leadership and guidance when it comes to Health and Safety. The Safety Director has provided all departments with a framework that details the safe way each employee is to conduct their responsibilities and is encouraged to speak up if conditions interfere with the safe way. CR&R believes that State and Federal (e.g., OSHA and DOT) regulations represent the minimum standard, and actively solicits input from its employees on how to minimize risk and maximize employee safety.

SUSTAINABILITY TEAM
When it comes to sustainability program implementation, CR&R knows that a “Boots on the Ground” approach is required. As such, dedicated Sustainability Specialists are a vital tool for our strategy to achieve compliance with CalRecycle requirements and maximize program participation, reduce contamination, and increase diversion rates. The success of any implementation plan begins and ends with the professionals who are responsible for making it happen.
CR&R will dedicate two Sustainability Specialists to the City of Lake Forest and one Sustainability Specialist to Laguna Hills. Additionally, CR&R is proud to state the inclusion of an additional fulltime dedicated Sustainability Specialist to assist contract deliverables and customer communication and outreach for the first two (2) years of contract implementation. With CR&R’s current team already in place serving both cities, CR&R is able to begin critical transition and implementation activities such as field surveys and multi-family enclosure surveys prior to the start of the agreement.
89 The Sustainability Specialists will be responsible for all aspects of diversion program implementation. They will conduct Residential outreach and education and Multi-Family and Commercial site visits. CR&R will fully comply with all Diversion Program outreach and education, compliance and reporting requirements as described in the Franchise Agreement and Scope of Work.

Fill in the rates proposed as the maximum rates to customers below for each level of service assuming cross-jurisdictional routing efficiencies between the two cities (Laguna Hills and Lake Forest). Rates must be broken down to show the collection cost, processing cost, disposal cost and capital costs (the capital component will not be escalated using the methodologies described in Attachment J). The procedure for adjusting costs throughout the term of the contract appears in Article 14 of the Agreement. A sample calculation is shown in Attachment J. The disposal portion will only be adjusted as that cost actually changes. Disposal costs are a pass through cost and cannot include any mark up, overhead or administrative costs.

Attachment D.1 - Maximum Rates to be Charged Assuming Cross-Jurisdictional Efficiencies between Lake Forest and Laguna Hills Fill in the rates proposed as the maximum rates to customers below for each level of service assuming cross-jurisdictional routing efficiencies between the two cities (Laguna Hills and Lake Forest). Rates must be broken down to show the collection cost, processing cost, disposal cost and capital costs (the capital component will not be escalated). The procedure for adjusting costs throughout the term of the contract appears in Article 14 of the Agreement. A sample calculation is shown in Attachment J. The disposal portion will only be adjusted as that cost actually changes. Disposal costs are a pass through cost and cannot include any mark up, overhead or administrative costs. As the amount of material being collected and handled is increasingly shifting into diversion, providing diversion services at no charge is no longer feasible and therefore is not permitted in this form. Best practices have identified that a Divertible materials collection rate that is 50% of the MSW rate obtains optimal generator participation. As noted in Section 6. MSW Rate Sheet commercial MSW rates may include any costs that are not recovered by offering Divertible Materials collection programs at 50% the rate for MSW. The rate proposed for collection of commercial, multi-family, temporary bin, temporary roll off, permanent roll off and compactor customers for divertible materials must be 50% lower than the rate proposed for collection of MSW materials. # Sector/Stream Description Size
