We are in receipt of your letter dated September 23,2003, In which you state that items biped for In payment applicadons 22.23 and 24 (Baseboard Heaters and Through the Walt HVAC units) are not reimbursable wider the terms of the contract. in your letter, you make reference to a section of the contract that states: The cleaning cvnteectOt Is responsible for cleating residues, common space and pardons of the HVAC systems dentifi by the Man g Contractor. Test "" Inc. (TCI) has no argument with that reference or condition of the Conshttction

contract TCI agrees 100% that we are responsible under the terms of the contract the fu r

completion of wprtc as identified in the "scope of work". TCI dues with your determination that the cleaning of baseboard heaters in common spaces Is in chided our base contract work. The Scope of Work A for Residential Spaces specifically identifies wider section 3.r. that: "Baseboard head will be cleaned Protective covers on tinned ra ap nt beat heaters and baseboard.heosrs will be removed to expose beat elements. Fins

are to be brusbd and vacuumed to remove dust." The mininumt cleating requirements for coaniion spaces makes no mention of cleaning baseboard beaters. Although the clearing of baseboard heaters is included lathe cleaning of apadnsents It is not Included In the cleaning of Cousmoa Spy TCI negotiated unit prices for cleaningof various HVAC its, Including baseboard It is ICI's position the althou ft we can be directed by she . ham.
