SCOPE OF SERVICES
Project Execution Plan
The following describes, in detail; those services as required to meet the requirements of this Agreement.
All assigned personnel must meet or exceed the training and qualifications requirements of each task.
Each field employee of SunWest is required to wear company - issued uniform shirts with company logo.
Each employee is issued a SunWest identification badge and is required to wear these badges in plain view
at all times.
INSPECTIONS AND TESTING:
1. Designated Operator Inspections:
SunWest will perform Designated Operator (DO) inspections at all UST's located at the facilities as
presented in the tank list provided by the City. DO inspections will comply with regulatory requirements
of CCR Title 23, Div. 3, Ch. 16, § 2715 as well as SCAQMD Rule 461, CCR Title 17, Part III Ch. 1 Sec8 and
Section 41960.2 of the CA Health and Safety Code. Inspections will be modified according to facility type
and operations. SunWest will perform the following:
a.) SunWest will maintain an internal database as a repository for all historical and updated
inspection results and documentation.
b.) SunWest currently maintains in -house health and safety programs to prevent accident
and injury at UST facilities. These programs will be reviewed and updated to reflect
necessary changes to comply with this Agreement's requirements and /or facilities.
C.) SunWest will maintain compliance with certification requirements of Designated
Operators, and equipment manufacturers and will provide updated certificates to the City
of Arcadia (COA) on an ongoing basis.
e.) SunWest will provide and maintain training requirements for all COA personnel in
accordance with regulatory requirements.
f.) SunWest will schedule and perform inspections during normal business hours in
accordance with COA's facilities and /or other stipulated requirements.
Facility Set Up :
a.) Utilizing in -house proprietary software, SunWest will establish individual facility profiles
which provide contact information, addresses, facility hours, installed equipment data,
and site - specific detailed directions and information for field technicians.
b.) Each facility will have a Project set up which establishes the dates of individual tasks to be
performed. This project set up will auto - generate recurring event work tickets a minimum
of 4 weeks in advance. This process insures that no inspections or facilities are
overlooked.
C.) Each facility will be plotted in an electronic mapping program for geographical scheduling
purposes. Once entered into this program, each facility's location as it relates to other
SunWest client locations will allow economical and efficient technician scheduling and
routing.

and 30 day notifications to the personnel of upcoming expiration dates.
• Training roster copies will be placed on site, submitted to COA's environmental contact, and
maintained in SunWest's Fueltrac system.
• SunWest will maintain and update annual Owner's Statements to regulatory agencies as
required to document approved Designated Operators.
• SunWest will work to design and develop a live, instructor -led course that focuses on
increased learner engagement and improved overall session impact. SunWest will incorporate
activities and /or demonstrations that maximize interactivity and learner involvement to bring
the content to life and reinforce the importance of following established protocols and
maintaining regulatory standards. The workshop will be designed to be delivered in a single
session not to exceed 1.5 hours. Given participants' range of experience, questions and
dialogue will engage the more tenured participants by allowing them to share their
understanding and experiences without making the content -level too advanced for less
experienced participants. Critical information such as inspection procedures, proper
completion of reporting documentation and incident response is more powerful when
presented via demonstrations and activities. Pre- and post- session knowledge checks can be
introduced to both demonstrate the efficacy and impact of the training and help to identify
where additional training might be needed in a specific learner's situation.
