property, or any violation of any federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole
or in part, by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Consultant or its employees,
subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they could be held strictly liable, or by the quality or character
of their work. The foregoing obligation of Consultant shall not apply when (1)the injury, loss of life, damage

SCOPE OF SERVICES
STREET SWEEPING SERVICES
Consultant shall use and furnish at his own expense all labor, equipment, and materials necessary
for the satisfactory performance of the street sweeping and parking lot sweeping work set forth
herein. After sweeping, curbs and gutters shall be left in a clean condition. A clean condition is
defined as the absence of residue in the streets and gutters upon the completion of the sweeping
operation. The sweeping shall include as many passes as necessary to leave the street in a clean
condition. Consultant shall maintain a log which indicates dates, times, streets, and miles swept.

in the month of August. The City is divided into six residential sweeping zones. It is recognized
that some zones are large and will be increasing in area. The City is willing to modify the
sweeping zones given the following restrictions: Sweeping cannot occur on the same day as
garbage pickup in any given area. It is preferred that sweeping occur on the day following
garbage pickup. Route changes will not be allowed years without written authorization from the
Public Works Director. Should a route change be approved, Consultant shall be responsible for
notifying individual households that are affected in writing at least two weeks prior to beginning
the new schedule.
The following generally commercial streets shall be treated as residential streets (swept twice per
month) for the purpose of this Agreement: Dublin Court, Sierra Lane, Sierra Court, Civic Plaza,
Trinity Court, Houston Place. These commercial streets shall be swept early enough in the
morning to avoid cars being parked along the street.

Parking Lot Sweeping: Performed twice monthly during the same weeks as the residential
sweeping. Sweeping shall be done after the normal operating hours of the facility so that no
vehicles remain in the parking lot at the time sweeping is done. In the case of parks in residential
neighborhoods (e.g., Alamo Creek Park and Shannon Park), sweeping shall be done at such time
as to avoid noise complaints from adjacent residents. Sweeping days and times for all parking

Calculation of Curb Miles: Curb mileage shall be calculated according to actual street curb
miles and not machine odometer readings. If Consultant and the City disagree on the number of
curb miles in a given area, mileage may be measured and recalculated but the final determination
shall be the City's.
In the event that it becomes necessary to increase the frequency of sweeping during the heavy
leaf fall season and thus increase the total number of miles swept or to increase callout hours,
Consultant shall submit a proposal for City's approval prior to performing the additional service.
Any streets added to the City during the term of this Agreement, either by new construction or
annexation, shall be swept according to the appropriate schedule beginning as soon as said
streets are accepted officially by the City. The additional cost for sweeping these streets shall be
based on the per mile cost set forth in Attachment 2 Proposed Cost of Services. Consultant shall
be capable of providing any additional equipment and personnel needed to sweep potential
development or annexation areas for the term of this Agreement.
The City additionally reserves the right to reduce the number of curb miles to be swept within a
given year without incurring an increase in the agreed per-curb-mile cost for that year.
Holidays: If sweeping is not to be performed on certain holidays, Consultant must provide a
schedule for sweeping the missed streets. City shall be advised in advance of holidays to be
observed by Consultant and shall be provided with a makeup schedule that is no more than one
week later. One the makeup schedule is established, it shall not be changed without prior
approval of the City.

shall be dumped upon completion of the sweeping cycle.. At this time, the City does not have a
storage site available for debris boxes.

equipment necessary to comply with this Agreement and to assure that the curb and gutter are
left in a clean condition and the amount of dust during sweeping is kept to a minimum. Water
meters shall be obtained from the Dublin San Ramon Services District. The cost of water shall
be paid by Consultant and included in the unit costs for various sweeping services.
Equipment Operation: The sweeper shall be operated at a safe speed which will allow for
maximum debris pick-up.

comply with the requirements of the Alameda County Urban Runoff Program and the
requirements of the NPDES Permit, including preparation and submittal to the City of the
monthly report which includes information regarding quantity of material picked up during the
