October 6, 1969 City of Fort Collins Mr. Tom Coffey & Council Members Dear Sirs: During the past five years our janitorial service has grown into a full-fledged maintenance firm. This success has been due, we feel, to the excellent relationships we have had with you and those we serve. We appreciate the opportunity we have had to provide janitorial services for the City of Fort Collins at *the Municipal Building and Service Center, and we want you to know it. Your people have been most pleasant to Work with and vary cooperative toward helping us perform. our work. Because of our continuing growth as a company we feel that we are in a better position to serve you than we have been at any time in the past. We have spared no effort, time, study, money, or experience in acquiring the very best materials obtainable and the best possible results We are searching constantly for any improvements available. Several months ago we instituted an inspection rating formula devised by the National Building Contractors Association which guarantees customer satisfaction. We find that this inspection rating formula has worked io help our company maintain a high standard of maintenance. These inspection rating sheets describe to us graphically the perfectionism of ohs staff and enable us to identify problems before they become serious. Our maintenance experience with your premises has guided us in pre- paring a specific schedule for work to be performed. Inspections are systematically made and recorded on an account performance sheet and analyzed for adjustment in work schedule. Each employee must spend a designated amount of time for the particular. job involved and must main- tain a high standard of work performance as a condition of continued employment. We have been able to stabiize our work force and attract steady, reliable, and consciencious people because our wages paid exceed local scale. The honesty, fidelity, trustworthiness, and dependability of our employees is unparalleled. Thus our proudest assets are the honesty, sincerity, and conscienciousness with which we -have served you. I think that you have found us willing and prompt to expend ourselves in serving your needs, occasionally beyond the requirements of the contract. Not only have we been able to care for the cleanliness .and order of the building, but we have also been able to supply general maintenance in the painting of the interior.' We will be happy to immediately proceed upon renewal of this contract with the painting of the council room, court room, police department, and any other area needing attention. Because of the steadily rising cost of materials and labor over the past five years and the enlarged proposal, we regret that in order to maintain this high level of performance it has become necessary to increase the amount of the proposed contract. May we conclude the above with a note of thanks for the cooper- ation from your organization to ours from the beginning, and what we hope may be a continuing of our mutually pleasant -association.

During the past 5 months a group of contractors, subdivi�..ers, and other inter- ested people have been reviewing and studying specifications for sewer, water, streets and storm sewer. In studying storm sewers the question of policy is far more important at this stage than is the specifications on installation ;of storm sewers. At this point we do not believe that the subdividers or the city.has a clearly defined short range or long range plan to handle storm drainage We feel that a study needs to be done by the city of Fort Collins to establish both short and long range planning. I-t is our recommendation that a group of local engineers together with the City Engineering staff and the City Attorney's office start working toward -'a short range study, as this problem has become so acute in the. past few months and with the growh that is obvious in the next few months, that we feel it warrants immed- iate attention by all parties concerned. We would request that the City Council consider this item at their earliest convenience .so that we can begin a more orderly solution to the problem.
