C~'1- a2o~ Jason Hale/NHC To Becky Breen/NHC 10/17/2006 11:32 AM cc bcc Subject wood grinding contract Hola Becky! How's life in the big city? Out here across the river it's as quiet as the dew on a cool winter's morning (I'm trying to sound more Southern ... is it working for me?). Anyway, my wood grinding contract with Diversified Biomass (contract #04-0297) has expired and I need a new one. I've attached a scope of services. There was no official bid process because I already know that they are the cheapest deal anywhere. Here are some other pertinent details: Term: from now until June 30, 2009 Price:$9 per ton through June 30, 2007. $10 after that. Account: Environmental Management Landfill Contracted Services 70080200 700000 Insurance: I presume that the requirements spelled out in the last contract will still hold true. I tried to call Ann and Tiffany but they were not in. :( Address: Diversified Biomass Company d/b/a American Property Experts, 606 Sunnyvale Drive, Wilmingtan 28412 Contact: Jason Thompson, 202-0848 If you need anything else just whistle.
