PROJECT APPROACH Sloan Vazquez Uniquely Qualified to Satisfy City's Requirements Sloan Vazquez is uniquely qualified to satisfy the City of Pleasanton's objectives and work requirements as identified in the RFP. Not only do we bring our academic and professional economic and financial knowledge and experience, we also possess industry insight gained through many years of "hands -on" experience and direct responsibility for solid waste program design, implementation, and day -to -day management. This comprehensive knowledge of municipal solid waste and recycling collection and processing distinguishes us from other consultants who may be well qualified academically but have little or no experience putting their recommendations into practice and managing them to a successful outcome. Sloan Vazquez has over forty years of experience in planning, implementation, and management of fully integrated municipal solid waste management programs to achieve and exceed the requirements of the State of California and more strenuous local ordinances. Sloan Vazquez will conduct an operational /efficiency review of Pleasanton Garbage Service (PGS) recycling and refuse operations to identify operating costs and to review operating practices and methods to determine consistency within established industry standards.
