Pi«e2orz Letter dated IWIAKS residential spruces (aptutmeiuts) however this cleaning is outside the base scope of work and should be compensated under the separately negotiated unit prices. DBF and EPA have both recognized the legitinwy ofthis particular unit price as TO was paid for tte deaaing of Through the Wall HVAC Units la cosatson spaces. Logkalfy it follows that cieaning of Through the WaS HVAC links in restfdentlal spaces shouid also be COTipensated under the Bak prices for cleanlr^ of HVAC system, TCI mat its obligations under foe contract to clean fo foe requirements of foe base scops of work aid then was ftrfoer directed by EPA and Atheaica to clean impacted HVAC systems and cotnponents.
