Bud, Michele, Bob, MaryAnn,

Due to the continued requests for cleaning, primarily from BoE and CUNY, we would like to make effective, upon your approval, the criteria described below. This will allow you to keep apprised of requests from your city agencies and allow us a level of comfort that NYC DEP (and DoH as necessary) has approved.

Please provide me with your feedback so I can finalize and distribute. I would like to finalize before Thanksgiving.

Thanks, Steve
