An additional standard crew of at least 6 participants (plus a supervisor) is requested for larger clean-up of vacant city lots or other City property. • Supplemental Staffing: Two (2) supplemental roving illegal dump collection crews are requested within this agreement. The City recognizes that this is contingent upon participant availability .
• Optional Staffing: A third (optional) crew of at least 4 participants and one supervisor is also highly desired to assist with janitorial services at approximately 20 city parks. A fourth (optional) crew of at least 2 participants plus one supervisor is desirable for graffiti abatement/curb painting.

Litter collection in ravines, creeks, washes, or embankments will require a separate agreement between both parties (the City and Organization) to ensure maximum safety should the need arise. The inability to provide these tasks will not disqualify the organization from consideration for this project.

SCHEDULE OF SERVICES
Work Reporting and Notification. The organization will be required to notify the City representative (via email) of the amount of crews available to perform work on a daily basis.

Upon notification, the City representative will determine which work locations will be assigned.

Variations to this process may occur when work tasks/locations are determined in advance by the City representative. If possible (and without creating an extra, undue, burden to the organization), before and after photos of work accomplished will be highly desirable for City staff.
• General Daily Operations for Roving Illegal Dump Crew(s): Roving illegal dump crews will be assigned arterial streets to inspect (drive) and begin collection of litter and illegally dumped items. Should all assigned streets be completed before the end of day, the Crew Supervisor will contact the City representative (Streets Supervisor) and request additional tasks for the day. Throughout the workday, the Crew Supervisor may receive no-notice litter collection or illegally dumped items requests. Once he or she receives this call, he may make a judgement call as to collect the items immediately or wait until the last work hour of the day unless he receives specific instructions to collect the litter/items immediately. The intent is to not bounce crews all over town with individual requests (however, this may unfortunately happen on rare occasions).

Other Assigned Tasks: As previously described, crews may be assigned minor landscaping tasks such as weed abatement, brush removal, vegetation removal, sediment removal from time to time. Though this is not the primary work task, it will be requested by the Streets Supervisor when the need arises. The City will make every effort to provide advance notice of these types of requests.

Hours of Operation. All work will be performed Mondays to Fridays within the hours of 7 a.m. to nightfall unless otherwise exempted by the City representative. Work is not generally allowed during nighttime. The term "within" is meant to describe the range of hours for work and does not include work during the entire timeframe. In other words, a 7:30am to 2pm shift is acceptable or a 8:30am to 3:30pm shift is acceptable. A minimum of 6.5 work hours per day is expected (excluding lunch breaks).

Requests from The Public. The organization is prohibited from taking direct requests from any residents, City staff (not affiliated with the Operations and Maintenance Division), or any other organizations while performing work for the City. The organization will make every effort to politely inform the requesting individual to contact San Bernardino's Help Line. Any instance of work performed as a result of a direct request outside of this agreement may be cause for termination.

Disposal. The city authorizes the organization to dispose of any debris, green waste, bulky items ONLY related to work tasks assigned by the city representative. All efforts will be made to separate green waste and properly dispose (recycle) it at the corresponding bin located in the city yard.
• Bulky items (discarded furniture, etc.) collected during volunteer work shall be disposed of (recycled) at the City Yard. Such items cannot be collected and/or kept for personal use by the organization or its staff.

• Biohazards/fecal matter will be mitigated using proper procedures by trained/certified volunteer personnel or should be left behind with City staff being immediately notified of the location.

City Yard Access. Access will be granted to the organization and staff for disposal of trash, debris, or any other collected items from daily work tasks. Generally, the City Yard is open from 6 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., however, badge access will be provided to the crew supervisors, managers, and/or team lead for access to the disposal areas of the yard should gates be locked. No more than 3 badges will be granted.
