Ms. Marquez,
Thank you for the opportunity to reply to the City of Richmond’s Request for Proposal for Safety/Loss Prevention Programs and Administration. The services requested in this RFP match the services that we currently offer the City of Richmond and many other California Municipalities.
During the past 19 or so years, the Du-All Safety Team, directed by Jim Thomas, has developed, implemented and managed the City of Richmond’s safety programs, including all of the regularly required Cal/OSHA compliance activities, e.g. employee training, safety inspections, record keeping, safety committee meetings, work group observations and assessments, accident investigations, written program updates, safety policy review, the development of facility maps and work procedure development/ updates.
This successful experience was key to developing strong working relationships and fostering trust with many of the hardworking managers and employees of the City of Richmond. These relationships enable Jim and his Du-All Safety team of specialists to address issues, while keeping the appropriate Richmond management team and employees informed and safe while the issue is being mitigated.
Du-All Safety continues to be the leader in the industry of Municipality Safety Compliance Support. This vast experience working closely with similar clients gives us the ability to apply proven solutions to EH&S compliance issues as they arise. When you then consider Jim Thomas’s almost 20 years of successfully managing the City’s Safety Programs, you have a pretty strong case for continuing with Du-All Safety.
I speak for Jim Thomas and the entire Du-All Safety Team when I say that we look forward to continuing our successful business relationship with the City of Richmond.
Sincerely,
Michael Connelly

Our experience working with other municipal operations is extremely beneficial to the success of all Municipality Support clients, as our programs and recommendations continue to improve with the experiences gained with each client. A perfect example of synergism.

While instructor-based training is preferred by most of our clients, this option has proven to be a cost-effective alternative, especially for shorter duration, low hazard trainings.
We also developed a training program for clients that have employees operating small boats as part of their job duties. We developed a classroom session, a hands-on session and as needed refresher training. The program continues to improve over time, with new ideas from in-class experience and discussion.

Robots to the Rescue: Cleaning Lake Tahoe's
Depths
Lake Tahoe's trash problem is getting a high-tech solution, thanks to the Restoring the Lake Depths Foundation. While local nonprofit Clean Up the Lake has made strides in pulling over 61,000 pounds of debris from the lake since 2018, depths beyond scuba divers' reach have remained a challenge. Enter the foundation, using a deep-water robot to extract refuse from the lake's depths. In summer 2023 alone, they hauled nearly 5 tons of hazardous materials, including lead-laden alcohol bottles and discarded drones.
The presence of toxic chemicals like lead and copper in the lake poses risks to human health and marine life. The foundation plans to introduce a second robot for even deeper clean-up as soon as a long enough tether is secured. Their efforts extend to other lakes in winter, and they're enhancing their robots' recognition skills with AI. An amazing initiative to safeguard Lake Tahoe's pristine beauty! Winter Road Safety
