Home Browse Search

Athens has extensive experience implementing services in new communities. Over the years we have developed an SOP called the Service Implementation Model, which outlines the steps required to implement new services without disruption to customers in 90 days. Athens’ Service Implementation Model can be provided to the City upon request. Athens Community Beautification Enhancement Athens is proposing an all-inclusive Community Beautification Enhancement package for the City of Santa Ana. Utilizing our experience as a recycling leader, our existing infrastructure, and service-focused team members, we have assembled a value- loaded package to exceed the City’s scope of work expectations today, and for years to come. After conducting a thorough assessment of the request for proposal, we have assembled a beneficial proposal for the community as a whole. Our community beautification enhancement package includes Athens’ power washing, porter services, bike lane cleaning and graffiti removal services throughout the city. Only Athens can provide the proposed services by using existing team members without the use of sub-contractors, which will ensure the utmost quality of service to the community.
