Our project managers/field staff make it a point to answer calls and emails responsively, we meet
with our customers on a routine basis whether it be onsite or at their facility to always have clear
concise communications. With this type of effort, we can sustain from common issues that arise
when there is a lack of communication.
• We offer our customers an emailing option for non -urgent socalmadmin@sfe-inc.com during our
business hours so that our Cities will receive a response from our office staff. We inform our
customers that a tech has been dispatched and when a service request has been completed in
the field by our technicians so that they are not left wondering if a problem has been addressed.
• We have a live person dispatch service when calling our 24/7 Direct Line Teleservice every time
you call in, and the service call is immediately dispatched to our on -call technicians. Our techs will
follow up with a return phone call notifying the reporting party confirmation of receipt and our
estimated time of arrival. All our technicians have smartphones / tablets and / or laptops and can
be reached at any time while performing services within the City.
• We have built outstanding relationships with our suppliers over the past few decades giving us
the advantage of outstanding pricing, expedited shipping and making it so we have access to
thousands of components that may not be the standard everyday part, and a tremendous number
of resources that we can rely on.
• SFE continuously works with all our customers on getting their warranty items repaired or
replaced throughout the city even when they were not the original installer. We make every effort
to handle and relieve our customers of this burden, while keeping the customer informed and up
to date on its status.
• We have an In-house testing/training Lab in both our Southern California and Northern California
facilities.
Our technicians receive communication directly from our 24/7 Dispatch center and take company vehicles
home for a faster response time. Our shop is centrally located between the 215/60/91 Freeways, making
it convenient for our technicians to pick up materials if needed. Our technicians reside in various areas of
SoCal and our company vehicles are equipped with GPS to be able to dispatch the nearest technician
available. Often times we have technicians working in neighboring agencies daily making it possible to
respond in a timely manner.
SFE will provide unparalleled expertise and outstanding value to the City of La Quinta. SFE understands
the constant challenges of managing, maintaining, and effectively servicing sophisticated traffic signal and
streetlighting systems. With an extensive staff of project managers, IMSA-certified traffic signal
technicians, electricians, and laborers, we believe SFE will continue to provide the best possible service to
the City of La Quinta.

Employee Quality Control
Safety is the top priority within SFE. In order to operate as a larger general
electrical contractor, SFE has developed a culture to always pay extra attention with
regard to safety. With our designated safety officer and safety team constantly
going from job to job, SFE promises to plan and conduct the work in a manner that
will safeguard all persons from injury in accordance with CAL OSHA regulations and
will take precautions required by all other applicable government regulations.
SFE Safety Data — Within the Last 5 Years
To ensure good quality from SFE staff, we believe in proper foresight and preparation. We train our
technicians to IMSA, OSHA, State specific requirements, Caltrans specs, and Vendor Specific standards. We
supply the "right tools" for the job, from hand tools to heavy equipment. Once the proper tools and training
are supplied, we can then progressively inspect and ensure proper production and quality levels are met.
We regularly and randomly inspect our technician's quality and thoroughness. We strive to "see things"
from our customers' perspective. When performing maintenance on Traffic Signals and Street Lights, we
believe that the efforts we put into the quality of our service prolongs the life and efficiency of the
components, and The City of La Quinta's confidence in our work.
SFE's Senior Management is fully committed to addressing the safety of today and beyond. We have
established aggressive goals and have adopted a ZERO tolerance regarding safety compliance. Our focus
on a Safer tomorrow is paramount to our future. The success in reaching our goals rests on the shoulders
of each and every employee at SFE. With their knowledge, by their preparations, and through their
practices, we can achieve these goals. We have identified a number of actions, and our efforts are doubled
with regard to safety awareness. Since 2012, SFE has not received an OSHA citation. In addition, the
renewed efforts are already being shown in Our Experience Modification Rate.
SFE also won 2021 & 2023's Best Rating per 250,000 — 500,000 man hours and featured in United
Contractors Magazine. Having a great safety rating (A.K.A EMR/ MOD RATING) or ZERO injuries in the
construction world is HUGE! General contractors and Project owners look at this mod rating as our "credit
score" and our ability to perform the job safely! Maintaining a great EMR rating is critical when competing
for work.

Training Programs
SFE has several training programs we use for our employees to ensure the
highest quality, with the most up to date knowledge and training. We also review
the latest maintenance procedures and suggestions from the industry, the industry
periodicals and NECA, IMSA seminars, so that SFE can maintain our service
capability to the latest industry guidelines.
We work with our Local Unions who have Apprenticeship and Training
programs for Technical Application/Training, First Aid/CPR and also OSHA Safety.
Many of our staff are trainers in these programs and have the opportunity to instruct and mentor the
electricians in the industry.
In -House SFE has many employees that have been in this industry for 40+ years, these Journeymen /
Foremen / Mentors /Area Leads help to train, develop and grow our team with real life exposure and
situations both in the field and at our in -shop training lab.
We work with all our field staff and project managers to help them acquire and maintain IMSA certified
training and the State Certified National Electrical Certification. We feel the attainment of these types of
certifications is a means for individuals to indicate to the general public, coworkers, agencies, and others
that an impartial, nationally recognized organization has determined that they are qualified to perform
specific technical tasks by virtue of their technical knowledge and experiences. Certification also bestows a
sense of achievement upon the certified individual since it reflects professional advancement in a chosen
field. We encourage all of our technicians to be certified in Work Zone Safety, TS Level I, II and III and
Roadway Lighting Levels I, & II. We employ several employees who have gone beyond these certifications.
IMSA currently offers certification in the following fields:
• Electronics in Traffic Signals
• Fiber Optics for ITS
• Flagging and Basic Traffic Control
• Microprocessors in Traffic Signals
• Roadway Lighting
• Signs and Markings
• Traffic Signals
• Traffic Signal Inspector
• Work Zone Traffic Control Safety
SFE Technicians and Project managers also receive specialized training from LRN Transportation. LRN
Transportation has developed a comprehensive program in the areas of signal operation and maintenance
to upgrade the skills of traffic signal technicians, electricians, engineers, inspectors, contractors, and
consultants. Their goal is to train in the latest equipment and technology to make experts of the personnel
working in the traffic signal industry while learning the latest MUTCD, Caltrans and ADA regulations; build
pedestrian -friendly streets; design, inspect and finalize safe traffic signal intersections. We have been
trained and certified in several of these classes and also continue to take refresher courses to stay up to
date on all industry changes.
We encourage our staff to attend these classes and make time available to attend these trainings as
needed.

Drug Screening Policy
SFE and our Local Unions Drug Screening Policies work Hand and Hand to reinforce how serious we
take this issue.
Drug & Alcohol Abuse- St. Francis's Policy
SFE is very concerned about the use of alcohol, illegal drugs, or controlled substances as it affects the
workplace. Use of these substances, whether on or off the job can detract from an employee's work
performance, efficiency, safety, and health, and therefore seriously impair the employee's value to SFE.
In addition, the use or possession of these substances on the job constitutes a potential danger to the
welfare and safety of other employees and exposes SFE to the risks of property loss or damage, or injury
to other people. Furthermore, the use of prescription drugs and/or over-the-counter drugs also may affect
an employee's job performance and may seriously impair the employee's value to SFE.
The following rules and standards of conduct apply to all employees either on SFE's property or during
the workday on the job site (including meals and rest periods). Behavior that violates SFE's policy includes:
Possession or use of alcohol, an illegal or controlled substance, or being under the influence of alcohol,
an illegal or controlled substance while on the job;
• Driving an SFE vehicle while under the influence of alcohol; and
• Distribution, sale, or purchase of alcohol, an illegal or controlled substance while on the job.
Violation of these rules and standards of conduct will not be tolerated. SFE may also bring the matter
to the attention of appropriate law enforcement authorities.
In order to enforce this policy, SFE reserves the right to conduct searches of SFE property or employees
and/or their personal property, and to implement other measures necessary to deter and detect abuse of
this policy. An employee's conviction on a charge of illegal sale or possession of any controlled substance
while off SFE property will not be tolerated because such conduct, even though off duty, reflects adversely
on SFE. In addition, SFE must keep people who sell or possess controlled substances off SFE premises in
order to keep the controlled substances themselves off the premises.
Any employee who is using prescription or over-the-counter drugs that may impair the employee's
ability to safely perform the job, or affect the safety or well-being of others, must notify a supervisor of
such use immediately before starting or resuming work. SFE will encourage and reasonably accommodate
employees with alcohol or drug dependencies to seek treatment and/or rehabilitation. Employees
desiring such assistance should request a treatment or rehabilitation leave. SFE is not obligated, however,
to continue to employ any person whose performance of essential job duties is impaired because of drug
or alcohol use, nor is SFE obligated to re-employ any person who has participated in treatment and/or
rehabilitation if that person's job performance remains impaired as a result of dependency.
Additionally, employees who are given the opportunity to seek treatment and/or rehabilitation, but
fail to successfully overcome their dependency or problem, will not automatically be given a second
opportunity to seek treatment and/or rehabilitation. This policy on treatment and rehabilitation is not
intended to affect SFE's treatment of employees who violate the regulations described previously. Rather,
rehabilitation is an option for an employee who acknowledges a chemical dependency and voluntarily
seeks treatment to end that dependency.
In conjunction with St. Francis's Policy is the Union's Agreement Policy with its members who are our
field staff;
St. Francis Electric I A and C-10 Licensed Contractor 1 2100 Iowa Ave. Riverside, CA 92507
stfranciselectric.com — Phone (951) 203-4586 — 24/7/365 Traffic Signal Service 1-(844)-LIGHT88
Union's Agreement Policy on Substance Abuse:
Section 3.12 Substance Abuse Policy
The Company and the Union recognize the importance of maintaining a safe, productive and efficient
work environment, and the dangers the use or abuse of alcohol, drugs, and/or controlled substances
can create in the electrical contracting industry. They can impair the ability of employees to perform
job responsibilities and can also increase the potential for work -related accidents and other failures
that may pose serious safety and health risks to employees, co-workers, customers and the general
public. Therefore, bargaining unit employees will be subject to the Company's Drug and Alcohol -Free
Workplace Policy to the fullest extent allowed by law.
To help ensure a substance -free workplace, all job applicants, subject to applicable laws and customer
contract requirements, will be required to pass a drug screen before beginning work. A positive test
result, a diluted test result or a refusal to test will result in the revocation of any job offer that has
been extended to the job applicant and ineligibility for future employment with St. Francis Electric for
a period of not less than six (6) months.
Employees covered by this Agreement are subject to drug and alcohol testing under the following
circumstances, where permitted by law: reasonable suspicion, post -accident, return -to -duty, fitness
for duty, post -rehabilitation, and random. A diluted test result or a refusal to test will be treated the
same as a positive test result and will subject the employee to disciplinary action up to and including
termination of employment.
An employee's decision voluntarily to seek substance abuse assistance prior to being identified as
having violated the Company's Drug and Alcohol -Free Workplace Police will not be used as the basis
for disciplinary action. On the other hand, seeking treatment will not lessen or prevent the imposition
of disciplinary action where an individual has violated this policy and where the Company learns of
the violation from sources other than voluntary disclosure.
GPS Navigation System
SFE uses Samsara Networks to track our workforce and fleet. Samsara's fleet management
platform organizes daily workflow management to help managers effectively respond to
customer requests. Its instant visibility map feature allows users to view all drivers and vehicles
in real-time to pinpoint exact locations to dispatch the best routes. When a customer calls for an ETA or
last-minute status update, SFE can accurately answer inquiries based on location within seconds.

In order to better service the City of La Quinta, SFE will be
utilizing an online real-time electronic database service. SFE
has GPS on the company's fleet of bucket trucks, providing
instant access to locations of technicians and which materials
are on the specific truck, which may be needed at a particular
location in the City of La Quinta. SFE recognizes that speed,
efficiency, and comprehensive service are the keys to
customer satisfaction in our industry. With this in mind, we are
constantly seeking innovative ways to improve our services.
Activity Report
SFE will provide a computerized period activity report to the City by the fifteenth (15th) working day
of each month for the previous period's activities. The assigned Service Coordinator for the City has and
is able to provide customized reports per the City's request to assist with specialized invoicing for accident
insurance claims or separately funded projects.
