BACKGROUND & APPROACH
lVatini���ii is/e
Envirvo�n�enta/
Services '
COMOUND
Nationwide Environmental Services (NES), a division of Joe's Sweeping, Inc., was
founded in 1968 by Joe Samuelian to provide parking lot sweeping services. Joe's
mission statement at the time was "To provide quality sweeping services utilizing the
latest state-of-the-art equipment and creating the highest level of customer service
available." From a single sweeper company to a fleet of more than 70 sweeping and
cleaning vehicles, serving over 40 municipalities, that mission statement is as true today
as it was over 35 years ago.
Our extensive fleet of sweeping and cleaning vehicles continues to maintain
municipalities, residential communities, business parks, parking facilities, construction
sites, and sporting complexes. Our current contracts cover street sweeping services
within the greater Los Angeles area, and the surrounding areas of Orange County,
Ventura, San Bernardino, and Riverside with populations ranging from 10,000 to
200,000.
Our high level of customer service along with our reputation of providing quality
services has been acknowledged by WorldSweeper.com who has featured NES as the
contractor of the month for December 2006. NES was selected from over 5,000 U.S.
sweeping contractors. In addition, NES was one of the first sweeping companies to
attain the status of Certified Sweeping Contractor in the nation through the north
american Power Sweeping association (naPSa). (See Attached)
Our clean, efficient street sweeping services enhance a community's appearance. NES
provides consistent and thorough sweeping services, thereby, ensuring a cleaner
environment in which to reside and work. This type of environment promotes
community pride and helps increase property values.
At NES we realize the importance of a clean and dependable fleet. Our vehicles are
routinely cleaned and inspected which allows us to consistently present a positive
image. Our truck mechanics are highly qualified and every driver is a trained
professional. Everyone at NES is dedicated to keeping our fleet on the road and on
time. Our motto is "Service First," which ensures, you the client, when a NES truck is in
your community it is serious about keeping your community clean.
Our dedicated staff is committed to serving the community in the most environmental,
safe, and efficient manner possible. We take great pride in our fleet and we make
certain our customers and residents are satisfied with our sweeping performance.

Services APPROACH
Nationwide Environmental Services (NES) general work plan to meet street sweeping
requirements for the City of Vernon incorporates a well -managed administration and
operational structure supported by interdepartmental team work. NES' Operation's
Manager will meet with the City representative to examine and evaluate the sweeping
schedule accordingto contract specifications and schedules. Our sweeping
p p g practices
include: picking up mud, dirt, sand, paper, leaves, grass, and miscellaneous debris. NES
understands the requirements as stated in the RFP and will adhere to all of the
specifications. NES is familiar: with the scope of services as we have been servicing the
City for the past eight years.
NES has a fleet of over 70 sweeping and cleaning vehicles in excellent condition and
maintained on a daily basis. Employees are experienced, trained and expected to make
a "Clean Sweep" (i.e., passes required to eliminate debris from all areas) of all streets.
Employees fully understand their responsibilities and debris not picked up by the street
sweeper will be hand swept by the driver before leaving the area.
e NES employs a state-of-the-art 24 hours -a -day dispatch service should the need for re -
sweeping or emergency requests arise. All employees wear company issued uniforms,
which we believe is just one-step in preventing possible injury due to loose or
unacceptable clothing attire. It is our company's policy to provide our employees with
IL proper safety training, therefore, all employees attend regularly scheduled company
safety meetings to ensure proper safety standards are being met for a safe work place.
4
All company managers and supervisors have been employed with NES for over 15
years. They understand the importance of quality work and they make sure each and
every employee is well trained to provide excellent services to our customers. Moreover,
we schedule group and individual meetings on a regular basis to evaluate our
r employees' performances and discuss any issues that need to be addressed.

applicable law. The parties hereby irrevocably waive any and all rights to the contrary and shall
Page 11 of 13
at all times conduct themselves in accordance with the terms of this Section, relying on arbitration
as the sole means of resolution of disputes. Arbitration of all matters required to be arbitrated
hereunder shall take place before a panel of three retired judges of the Superior Court of the State
of California (the "Arbitrators") under the auspices of Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services,
Inc. ("JAMS"). Such arbitration shall be initiated by the parties, or either of them, within ten (10)
calendar days after either party sends notice of a demand to arbitrate (the "Arbitration Notice") to
the other party and to JAMS. The Arbitration Notice shall contain a description of the subject
matter of the arbitration, the dispute with respect thereto, the amount involved, if any, and the
remedy or determination sought. Each party shall select a retired judge from the JAMS panel,
and the two selected judges shall mutually agree on the third retired judge from the JAMS panel.
If one of the parties does not select a retired judge from the JAMS panel within fourteen (14)
calendar days after receipt of the Arbitration Notice, JAMS will select the second judge, and the
judge selected by JAMS and the judge selected by the other party will select the third judge for
the panel. The third judge is to be selected within ten (10) calendar days following the selection
of the first two judges. The three judges will together serve as the Arbitrators. The arbitration
shall be conducted in Los Angeles, California. Any party may be represented by counsel and/or
other authorized representative. In rendering a decision(s), the Arbitrators shall determine the
rights and obligations of the parties according to the substantive and procedural laws of the State
of California and the terms of this Agreement. The decision of the Arbitrators shall be based on
the evidence introduced at the hearing and accompanied by a written statement of decision as to
each of the principal controverted issues. The agreement of two of the three Arbitrators as to the
resolution of the dispute shall be a conclusive resolution. The Arbitrators shall deliver the written
decision to the parties within thirty (30) calendar days following the date of the selection of the
last of the Arbitrators. The decision shall be conclusive and binding, and it may thereafter be
confirmed as a judgment by the Superior Court of the State of California, subject only to
challenge on the grounds set forth in the California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1286.2. The
validity and enforceability of the decision of the Arbitrators is to be determined exclusively by
the California courts.
Attorney's Fees
7.06. In the event a dispute, claim or litigation arises regarding this Agreement, the prevailing party
shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable attorneys' fees and actual costs, which may be
set by the arbitrators and/or court in the same action or in a separate action brought for that
purpose, in addition to any other relief which is obtained.
7.07. Neither party shall be considered in default in any of its obligations under this Agreement when a
failure of performance shall be due to an uncontrollable force. The term "uncontrollable force"

flood, earthquake, storm, fire, lightning, epidemic, war, riot, civil disturbance or disobedience,
federal, state, or municipal action, statute, ordinance, or regulation, embargoes of the United

overcome. Either party rendered unable to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement by
reason of an uncontrollable force shall give written notice within five (5) business days of such
fact to the other party and shall exercise due diligence to remove such inability with all
reasonable dispatch.

BACKGROUND & APPROACH
Natioihwic/e
Environn�enta/
ServicesCOMPANY BACKGROUND
Nationwide Environmental Services (NES), a division of Joe's Sweeping, Inc., was
founded in 1968 by Joe Samuelian to provide parking lot sweeping services. Joe's
mission statement at the time was "To provide quality sweeping services utilizing the
latest state-of-the-art equipment and creating the highest level of customer service
available." From a single sweeper company to a fleet of more than 70 sweeping and
cleaning vehicles, serving over 40 municipalities, that mission statement is as true today
as it was over 35 years ago.
i Our extensive fleet of sweeping and cleaning vehicles continues to maintain
municipalities, residential communities, business parks, parking facilities, construction
x sites, and sporting complexes. Our current contracts cover street sweeping services
within the greater Los Angeles area, and the surrounding areas of Orange County,
Ventura, San Bernardino, and Riverside with populations ranging from 10,000 to
200,000.
Our high level of customer service along with our reputation of providing quality
services has been acknowledged by WorldSweeper.com who has featured NES as the
contractor of the month for December 2006. NES was selected from over 5,000 U.S.
sweeping contractors. In addition, NES was one of the first sweeping companies to
attain the status of Certified Sweeping Contractor in the nation through the north
amencan Power Sweeping association (naPSa). (See Attached)
Our clean, efficient street sweeping services enhance a community's appearance. NES
provides consistent and thorough sweeping services, thereby, ensuring a cleaner
environment in which to reside and work. This type of environment promotes
community pride and helps increase property values.
At NES we realize the importance of a clean and dependable fleet. Our vehicles are
routinely cleaned and inspected which allows us to consistently present a positive
image. Our truck mechanics are highly qualified and every driver is a trained
professional. Everyone at NES is dedicated to keeping our fleet on the road and on
time. Our motto is "Service First," which ensures, you the client, when a NES truck is in
your community it is serious about keeping your community clean.
Our dedicated staff is committed to serving the community in the most environmental,
I safe, and efficient manner possible. We take great pride in our fleet and we make
certain our customers and residents are satisfied with our sweeping performance.

Environne�ta/
ServicesEXPERIENCE & APPROACH
Nationwide Environmental Services (NES) general work plan to meet street sweeping
requirements for the City of Vernon incorporates a well -managed administration and
operational structure supported by interdepartmental team work. NES' Operation's
Manager will meet with the City representative to examine and evaluate the sweeping
schedule according to contract specifications and schedules. Our sweeping practices
include: picking up mud, dirt, sand, paper, leaves, grass, and miscellaneous debris. NES
understands the requirements as stated in the RFP and will adhere to all of the
specifications. NES is familiar with the scope of services as we have been servicing the
City for the past eight years.
NES has a fleet of over 70 sweeping and cleaning vehicles in excellent condition and
maintained on a daily basis. Employees are experienced, trained and expected to make
a Clean Sweep (i.e., passes required to eliminate debris from all areas) of all streets.
Employees fully understand their responsibilities and debris not picked up by the street
sweeper will be hand swept by the driver before leaving the area.
i NES employs a state-of-the-art 24 hours -a -day dispatch service should the need for re -
sweeping or emergency requests arise. All employees wear company issued uniforms,
r. which we believe is just one-step in preventing possible injury due to loose or
unacceptable clothing attire. It is our company's policy to provide our employees with
proper safety training, therefore, all employees attend regularly scheduled company
safety meetings to ensure proper safety standards are being met for a safe work place.
All company managers and supervisors have been employed with NES for over 15
years. They understand the importance of quality work and they make sure each and
every employee is well trained to provide excellent services to our customers. Moreover,
a we schedule group and individual meetings on a regular basis to evaluate our
F employees' performances and discuss any issues that need to be addressed.
