Project Example 1:

Location: 327 N. Howes Street, Fort Collins, CO 80524 Estimated Value: $4,400.00 Contact: Josh Suppes, Maintenance Supervisor, (970) 416-2186 [email protected] A devastating fire occurred 12/31/14 at 327 N. Howes and the source was a cigarette that was dropped on the mattress when the tenant fell asleep. The tenant was a gentleman with developmental disabilities and fortunately was able to escape without injury. SERVPRO of Fort Collins was called out to do the board-up by the Fort Collins Housing Authority on the single-family home but first attended to the tenant, retrieving his guitar from the scene, checked him into a hotel and made sure he was comfortable and safe. The guitar was one of the only possessions that survived the fire. We brought the guitar to our facility, cleaned it from the smoke damage it sustained, restrung it, and returned it to the gentleman. We then boarded up all doors and windows (nearly all windows were blown out by the fire). Asbestos and lead testing were scheduled to help the FCHA determine whether to restore or demolish the structure. The estimated value of this job does include extensive lead and asbestos testing fees. Materials and Labor: Labor: Two carpentry laborers for a total of 12 hours to measure, cut, and install OSB: 3 sheets 2x4’s: 8x 10’

Page 8: Request for Proposal Proposal Number: 8116

Project Example 2:

Location: 502 Suntrail Drive, Loveland, CO 80538 Estimated Value: $1,280.00 Contact: Steven & Lynae Guardado, owners, (970) 308-5479 [email protected]

On 3/29/15 a vehicle drove through the Guardados’ perimeter fencing at their property at 502 Suntrail Drive. SERVPRO of Fort Collins was called out to “board up” the openings that were made when the vehicle entered and exited their yard. SERVPRO initially secured the site with 3 12’ x 15’ tarps while investigations were in progress. Upon release of the scene, we provided temporary fencing in the form of a standard board-up with OSB and 2x4’s, etc. Materials and Labor: Labor: Two carpentry laborers for a total of 12 hours to measure, cut, and install OSB: 12 sheets Tarps: 3 tarps 2x4’s: 10x 8’

Page 9: Request for Proposal Proposal Number: 8116

Project Example 3:

Location: 7221 E. US Highway 34 Estimated Value: $3,100.00 Contact: Michael Earwood, owner (970) 667-2203 [email protected] This structure was struck by a vehicle on 4/9/15. SERVPRO was called to board up the structure until repairs could be made. The impact affected the gas and electrical lines. We utilized our local crews in addition to our subcontractors to secure the electric, gas, and the structure itself. Structural jacking and supports were used to enable the business to remain operational until the repairs could be arranged. Materials and Labor: Labor: Mechanical & electrical subcontractors for 8 hours total and framing and general technicians for 8 hours total OSB: 5 sheets 2x4’s: 4x 8’ Project Example 4: CBRE/Fireman’s Fund - Colorado Springs, CO

This vacant building was managed by CBRE and insured by Fireman’s Fund. A fire riser froze and broke through six office walls, dumping approximately 2 feet of water throughout the building. Extraction began immediately and the building was stabilized with dehumidification to prevent secondary damage and mold growth until the building could be tested for asbestos. The test results for asbestos came back positive in almost the entire building. Due to the amount of damage caused to the asbestos-containing

Page 10: Request for Proposal Proposal Number: 8116

material in the walls, Colorado State Law classified this as a major spill. According to Regulation 8 of Colorado State Law, the building was put under negative pressure to prevent a public hazard. Asbestos abatement started while stabilization continued so no further damage from the water or mold growth occurred. Once the asbestos abatement was completed the structure was dried using 2 large industrial desiccant dehumidifiers. Project Example 5: Timnath Elementary School – Timnath, CO

Over 7,000 lbs. of plaster and lath ceiling broke loose from its supports and fell on the third floor of Timnath Elementary School. Thankfully, the children were on Thanksgiving break and no one was inside the classroom at the time of the ceiling collapse. The building materials were tested for asbestos. Trace elements were found, however the results came back less than 1% containing asbestos, under limits that require asbestos abatement. OSHA-certified workers cleaned the area to stay compliant with OSHA regulations because the trace elements were found. As a precaution, the school district directed us to install additional support to the ceilings throughout the rest of the school. The building paint did test positive for lead and all work was performed in accordance with EPA lead safe practices under full containment. Over 35,000 sq. ft. of ceiling was reinforced on the second and third floors, requiring additional structural supports be installed to support the existing ceiling. This project lasted a little over a month, and we were able to meet our deadline and get the children back in their classrooms by the end of Christmas Break. Not a single day of school had to be cancelled due to this loss and we received many letters from the children of Timnath Elementary showing their appreciation for our work and our ability to keep them safe.

Project Example 6: Colorado Northwestern Community College – Rangely, CO

The Nichols North Dormitory at Colorado Northwestern Community College suffered a severe windstorm which blew off the entire roof of this two-story building. After the severe windstorm, a major summer rain storm drenched the building, which affected both floors with severe water damage. The building was not immediately dried and mold later affected both floors of this dormitory. We were chosen as the mold remediation company to get this building back to “Like It Never Even Happened”. Both floors of the building were remediated according to EPA Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings guidelines. Negative air pressure was set up and a large amount of containment was constructed to prevent cross-contamination of the affected North Nichols Dormitory from the attached South Nichols Dormitory. 3,000 sq ft of affected acoustical ceiling tiles, over 6,000 sq ft of affected commercial glue-down carpet, 48 large closet cabinets and over 4,000 sq ft of affected ceiling drywall was removed. The entire HVAC system was cleaned and sealed. The college put a short turnaround time on this project and we were able to meet our 5-day deadline. All visual assessments were passed and the final air sampling clearance was passed which showed the effectiveness of our mold remediation services.

2. Describe your detailed plan of execution for PFA and City emergency services: PLAN OF EXECUTION:

SERVPRO of Fort Collins utilizes an emergency service plan that is structured around FEMA National

Incident Management Systems (NIMS) in order to communicate and interact with all emergency

responders. The plan utilizes and describes organizational levels, personnel assignments, reporting and

emergency procedures as well as emergency alert levels. This plan allows us to properly manage

equipment and manpower needs in order to maximize our abilities. All situations and incidents will vary

and this plan will be used as a guide line and maybe adjusted as needed.

The purpose of this plan is to provide proper procedures for personnel to respond and to successfully

complete any and all emergency tasks. This plan will include the process in which we receive and

dispatch emergency calls to include timelines and emergency staff to be utilized.

SERVPRO of Fort Collins utilizes color alert levels of escalation. We determine the levels by constantly

monitoring of the weather, scanners for emergency responders’ activity and incoming calls to our

dispatch center. The following breaks down the different alert levels:

Page 12: Request for Proposal Proposal Number: 8116

ALERT LEVELS

GREEN – Normal weather conditions with normal emergency responder’s activity as well as normal

call volume into the dispatch center. On-call crew is able to maintain all response times without any

additional support from the back-up crew.

YELLOW- Weather conditions have increased to moderate but still with warnings being issued by local

weather agencies. Emergency responder activity has increased and multiple incidents are being

reported. On call crew is still able to maintain all response times but the backup crew has been put on

active status and is now responding to calls and the off duty crews have now been put on notice and

are waiting to be made active.

RED- Weather conditions have increased to severe and warnings have increased to watch status and

disaster incidents are probable. Emergency responders’ activity is highly active and multiple ongoing

calls throughout their coverage areas. All crews have been activated and are responding to emergency

calls. At this level our Disaster Recovery Team (DRT) is on alert and we have started flying in key

personnel to start setting up our command center at a remote location within the approved area by

the acting Incident Commander.

AVAILABLE MANPOWER & DISPATCH CAPABILITIES

SERVPRO of Fort Collins employs over 75 people and has over 50 qualified personnel who can

respond to emergency calls over the escalation system. We also have over 15 partnering

a catastrophic emergency. We have a fleet of over 50 vehicles of all sizes allow to provide many

different functionalities.

is a consistent emphasis on learning new methods of completing restoration work, about the equipment

we utilize, and safety practices.

SERVPRO of Fort Collins is also currently completing a large remodeling of our current building. Once

completed, staff will have access to state of the art break rooms, employee training rooms, IT, stocked

refrigerators, exercise facilities, and many other amenities.

The most-recently-hired 11 employees have averaged 11.5 months and a retention rate of nearly 80%.

5. Sustainability Plan

SERVPRO of Fort Collins recognizes that it has a responsibility to the community and environment

beyond legal and regulatory requirements. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact

and continually improving our environmental performance as an integral part of our business strategy

and operating methods, with regular review points. SERVPRO of Fort Collins has added Fleet Matics

tracking software to every vehicle in the company in an effort to minimize our fuel consumption. Using

Fleet Matics software allows us to dispatch jobs to the vehicle that is closest to the destination, keeping

pollution to a minimum. We as a company use travel alternatives such as e-mails and phone

conferences as often as feasible. SERVPRO of Fort Collins is committed to donating and recycling all

unusable products and continuously implementing more recycling efforts. We encourage customers,

suppliers and other vendors to do the same. SERVPRO of Fort Collins has evaluated techniques in water

conservation and have teamed up with e3 Solutions, whom takes dirty water and filters it to convert

into clean, usable water. SERVPRO of Fort Collins and e3 Solutions see the demand for water as one of

the most important considerations in the way we conduct business in the restoration industry.

Additionally, SERVPRO of Fort Collins utilizes digital technology to create and submit forms as often as

possible to minimize our paper use. All printed material that is no longer needed is recycled along with

all aluminum, water bottles, etc.

SERVPRO of Fort Collins will also coordinate material clean-up of all board-up and reconstruction

processes at SERVPRO of Fort Collins’ expense. Material that cannot be used again by SERVPRO of Fort

Collins will be recycled whenever possible. Any oils that are non-reusable will be donated to American

Petroleum Institute and batteries are donated to local designated drop-off locations. SERVPRO of Fort

Collins recognizes the necessary needs for proper recycling procedures and staying as green as possible.

6. Do you plan to subcontract portions of your work? Please discuss any subcontracting relationships that you have set up in responding to this request. Identify those segments of work that are subcontracted. How will you maintain and monitor your relationship with any subcontractors that you have identified as being a part of this response? SERVPRO of Fort Collins always tries to complete as much of our work with our own employees, but it is often necessary to access subcontractors and outside vendors to complete complex projects. Typical board-up procedures would not typically necessitate any subcontracting, however, but we have established a preferred network of subcontractors that are thorough, trustworthy, and dependable. We maintain our relationships be ensuring that all subcontractors and vendors are paid promptly and monitor their work throughout any project. If an issue with quality of work, timeliness, etc. arises we address the issue immediately and if the issue is not resolved satisfactorily that subcontractor or vendor is removed from our preferred network.

7. Explain in detail how you will effectively administer this contract. Take into account the following requirements:

For PFA and/or the City to track and administer this contract it will be necessary to receive a service ticket for each job ordered or dispatched by PFA and/or the City.

Identify any third parties that may be invoiced and explain your process for invoicing them. In particular, tell us if you use the Xactimate system.

Do you have a single point of contact for all customer services related issues? If so, identify that individual and include their resume in your list of key personnel. SERVPRO of Fort Collins will have staff available 24/7/365 to respond to calls from the City. Will have

trucks ready – tarp & board-up capable. When call is received, a project manager & work crew will be

dispatched within 15 minutes and we will contact the City to confirm the ETA of our crew. The crew will

be on-site within 1 hour and will establish an initial scope of work based on the damage. All information

(forms, photos, and notes) will be inputted into SERVPRO’s internal job tracking system (Drybook). We

will collect the insurance agent, adjuster, and claim number information at the site. The City will be

notified at this point of the scope of work and the status of our progress. An Xactimate estimate will be

created and sent to the insurance adjuster, homeowner, etc. Upon completion of the initial board-up,

we will obtain a signed Certificate of Satisfaction form, upload all photos (before & after), and make sure

that we have all parties’ contact information. Finally, our accounting department will create an invoice

and deliver to the responsible parties. After the 24-hour waiting period has expired we will follow-up to

determine if additional restoration services are desired.

8. It may be necessary to make an on-site visit by PFA and/or City personnel to your office/dispatch center. In lieu of such a visit the following details about our organization are as follows: Our business headquarters and location from which our personnel will be responding is located at: 308 N. Link Lane Fort Collins, CO 80524 This is also the location where our materials are stored and picked up. We normally respond with the following tools & equipment on each truck:

16 air movers

3 LGR dehumidifier units (desiccant dehumidifiers if needed also)

4 air scrubbers

Various saws, drills, & hand tools to accommodate demolition and construction

Page 25: Request for Proposal Proposal Number: 8116

Moisture meter and moisture sensor Infrared camera Water/sewage extractor

SERVPRO of Fort Collins’ restoration crews are structured with IICRC certified technicians and crew chiefs with considerable experience. We do not respond with general laborers that are not familiar with the nature of restoration work or OSHA safety regulations. Typically, our crew chiefs and technicians responding have at least 2 years of experience conducting similar work to which they are responding. Our anticipated response time is to be on-site within 1 hour. Following an initial board-up, our priority is making sure the homeowner, tenant, or business owners have a place to stay, toiletries, clothing, toys for children, etc. We know that we cannot (and should not) discuss further work to be done at the property where we responded, but understand the importance of sensitivity to those affected by the loss that has occurred. Upon completion of the board-up, we will also complete a checklist allowing us to track specifically what services were provided, which will be delivered to the PFA, insurance carrier, and home or business owners.

9. Define your process for working with insurance companies for emergency restoration Activities: SERVPRO of Fort Collins works very closely with major insurance carriers and SERVPRO (Corporate) is constantly working with these entities to establish National Accounts Guidelines. National Accounts Guidelines provide assurance to our clients that SERVPRO Franchises will provide a consistent level of service throughout the country. The Guidelines are the minimum responsibilities for providing cleaning and restoration services for SERVPRO’s clients. In many cases, you will receive referrals directly from an insurance company or other client. Clients participating in national programs with SERVPRO expect the National Accounts Guidelines to be followed for all jobs performed for their company. SERVPRO customers expect consistent performance regardless if the job referral is made locally or dispatched from the SERVPRO National Call Center. Participation in the National Accounts Program is subject to fulfilling all criteria as outlined in the National Accounts Guidelines. The specific requirements for individual insurance companies, which differ from the program defined by the National Account Guidelines, will be communicated in a Program Bulletin distributed by SERVPRO prior to account implementation. Franchises which deviate from the National Accounts Guidelines will be suspended from receiving job lead referrals. Repeated noncompliance may result in suspension from the Program. See National Accounts Guidelines, Section VIII, Warnings, Infractions and Suspensions for a summary of performance expectations.

10. Provide standard restoration rates that are reimbursable through insurance companies: Our standard restoration rates are as follows:

Page 27: Request for Proposal Proposal Number: 8116

11. Provide a description of your restoration method. Include a description of the standard materials used, including wood and fasteners, as well as a diagram of how the material is installed: SERVPRO of Fort Collins utilizes the board up procedures implemented by the US Fire Administration (USFA) for all board ups in order to standardize the way our crews handle these incidents.

USFA National Arson Prevention Initiative Board Up Procedures

Materials List and Specifications Security Measures 1. All openings in the basement, first floor doors and windows, and any point of entry accessible from a porch, fire escape or other potential climbing point shall be barricaded with plywood, 2x4 braces, carriage bolt sets, and nails. Particle board, wafer board, Masonite, or other similar material shall not be used for purposes of boarding-up a building. 2. Openings that are at least 10' from ground level which are not accessible from a porch, fire escape, roof, or other climbing point can be secured with nails in each brace, and every 12" around the perimeter. For all openings, the plywood should be fitted so that it rests snugly against the exterior frame, butting up to the siding on wood frame buildings and up to the brick molding edge on brick buildings. It may be necessary to remove the staff bead so this fit can be flush and tight. 3. The structure shall be posted with a NO TRESPASSING sign at the completion of the board-up.

Page 28: Request for Proposal Proposal Number: 8116

Materials 1. Plywood, 1/2" (4 ply) exterior grade CDX 2. Braces - 2" by 4" by 8' construction grade lumber 3. 3/8" (coarse thread) by 12" carriage bolts (rounded head on weather side) 4. 3/8" (coarse thread) construction grade nuts 5. 1/2" (USS Standard) Flat washers with an inside diameter large enough to bypass the wrench neck inside the carriage bolt head so no lift edge is available beneath an installed carriage bolt head. 6. 3/8" (USS Standard) diameter flat washers for installation beneath the nut inside the building 7. 1-5/8" (6d) galvanized or stainless steel ring-shank nails or comparable deck nails.

Barrier Assembly 1. Applying barriers is accomplished with an inside and outside carpenter with appropriate tools and supplies. The inside carpenter will need a light. Exit is made over a ladder when the last window is boarded. 2. Plywood shall be cut to fit over the window and door openings, flush with outside of the molding/trimmer stud. Application of barriers shall be completed so that all lift or pry points are avoided. 3. The 2x4 braces shall be cut to fit the horizontal dimension of the plywood. Two exterior and two interior 2x4 braces shall be provided for each window and three sets for each door. 4. Window Assembly – Braces are located horizontally approximately 1/3 of the distance from the top and the bottom of the window. Bolt holes are located 1/3 of the length of the brace from the outside edge of the window jams. Prior to installation, the assembly should be pre-assembled and 3/8” holes drilled through all of the components. 5. Door Assembly – Door braces will be placed horizontally; one in the center of the doorway and one 1/2 the distance from the center to the top and one 1/2 distance from the center to the bottom of the doorway. Bolt holes are located 1/3 of the length of the brace from the outside edge of the door frame. Prior to installation, the assembly should be pre-assembled and 3/8” holes drilled through all of the components. 6. Plywood used to cover exterior openings shall be nailed every 12" along the perimeter to the window or door frame. 7. The 2x4 braces on the interior and exterior of the assemblies shall be secured using 3/8” by 12” carriage bolt assemblies. Bolts shall be inserted through the pre-drilled holes from the exterior with a 1/2” washer place against the exterior brace, a 3/8” washer is placed against the interior brace. The bolt is tightened from the inside so that it slightly compresses the interior brace. 8. The exterior surfaces of barriers shall be painted or stained the same color as the structure to minimize the appearance. Should the through-bolt compression method be impossible due to the size or condition of the opening, the opening shall be covered with plywood and secured with a minimum of 3-inch-long deck or wood screws installed on 4-inch centers around the circumference of the opening. For buildings that require access by authorized personnel, a single door that is visible from the street may be secured using a solid core wood or steel door. There shall be no windows or other openings in this door. The door shall be securely locked using a padlock and hasp assembly that is bolted through the door. The lock loop portion of the hasp is attached to the door frame using a minimum of 3-inch-long wood screws.

Page 32: Request for Proposal Proposal Number: 8116

12. What provisions or penalties would you suggest PFA and the City implement for a vendor who becomes noncompliant with this contract? If a vendor were to be awarded the emergency services contract and subsequently became noncompliant, we would recommend the penalties begin with a written notice to the vendor stating the area(s) of noncompliance. A first notice would result in a probationary period of between 60 and 90 days to allow the vendor to prove that the issues have been addressed and corrected when responding to calls during that period. If after the probationary period it is established that the issues have not been rectified, the contract should be awarded to the next most-qualified vendor that applied for the contract. Conversely, if the issues were corrected during the probationary period the vendor would return to normal status after the period expired. If the vendor became noncompliant after the first probationary period we would recommend that the contract be awarded to another vendor. The services that are being provided to the community are vital to protecting property and safety and it should be clear that there are repercussions for providing sub-par service.

Page 33: Request for Proposal Proposal Number: 8116

13. Do you use electronic surveillance equipment or programs to monitor dispatch radio calls? If so, explain how that information is utilized in your organization: SERVPRO of Fort Collins utilizes both the Poudre Fire Authority website’s Broadcastify service and the Scanner Deluxe Mobile App to monitor dispatch traffic and job status. If awarded the contract for emergency services we would be consistently monitoring these sources to determine when we might be called to a site to provide services, and to determine the severity and circumstances of those situations to be best prepared to respond. SERVPRO of Fort Collins also utilizes Fleet Matics software (aforementioned in Section 5) to track our vehicles in order to be able to route our crews to the sites as quickly as possible.

14. Do you have any exceptions to any sections of the City’s standard Services Agreement (sample attached as Exhibit A)? We do not have exceptions to any sections of the City’s standard Services Agreement.

Each SERVPRO® Franchise is Independently Owned and Operated. 28561 7/13

A fire damage loss can be a small event, or it can affect an entire structure. But remember, to our

customer, their event is a traumatic event – regardless of the size. They are often very emotional and

sometimes even devastated by what has happened. If loss of life has occurred, the devastation is even

worse. You want this job because you know the SERVPRO® Franchise System provides a high quality of

services in the industry. However, unlike emergency water damage services, fire or smoke damage calls

may find you in a bidding situation with your competition. Remember the trauma your customer is

experiencing and don’t be pushy. As you conduct your walk-through, listen carefully to the customer

and assure them you will do your best to address their concerns and help make their property “Like it

never even happened.” Explain your need for a signature on the Authorization to Perform Services, but

don’t push it. Let your potential customer know why you can deliver quality services and the

importance of a signed authorization prior to beginning the job. By not pushing, you begin to build the

necessary relationship with this potential customer.

Customer Information Form – Fire Damage

1. A NATIONWIDE SERVICE PROVIDER.

SERVPRO® is a Franchise system with over 1,500 independently owned and operated locations nationwide. Servpro Industries, Inc., the Franchisor, may be reached at 1-800-SERVPRO.

2. WORK AUTHORIZATION. In order to start our mitigation and restoration services, you must sign the Authorization to Perform Services form. This allows us to take action immediately. We do not know your insurance coverage; therefore, it is impossible for us to know exactly what your insurance will cover. It is important to understand you are financially responsible for our services. Your deductible is payable before we start work. If for any reason insurance coverage cannot be verified at the time of our emergency service, an additional deposit may be required.

3. REFERENCES. The Franchisee would be pleased to provide references upon request.

4. HOW WE PROCEED.

Surveying and Pretesting: The process of surveying the job environment is an in-depth process. First, we will walk through the job with you to determine the areas that have been affected. Second, we will pretest the cleanability of surfaces as needed. Pretesting is a SERVPRO® process designed to identify those items that will be restorable. Third, we will make a detailed scope and inventory of each affected area in your home. Finally, we will give you a summary of our findings and explain the best steps for restoration.

Extent of Cleaning: We will review the full extent of the smoke damage. However, you and your insurance adjuster have the final say as to the extent of cleaning to be performed. Please consult with your adjuster if you have any questions. You will be responsible to pay for anything your insurance company does not pay for.

Specialized procedures are required for materials like mold, lead paint, asbestos, Chinese drywall, etc. If we notice a significant presence of these types of materials, or believe there is a likelihood that such materials exist in the structure, we will notify the involved parties so they may determine an appropriate course of action.

Window Cleaning: For normal smoke damage, windows will be cleaned on the inside only.

Metal Polishing: Unless conditions warrant chemical restoration, metal such as silver and brass will be cleaned and buffed only. Polishing will only be done if we are authorized by both you and the adjuster.

Floor Finishing: Hard surface floors will be mop cleaned. Stripping, sealing and refinishing will only be done if conditions warrant them and we are authorized by both you and the adjuster.

Clean/Prep-for-Paint: Wall and ceiling surfaces which are heavily smoked and will not clean completely will be cleaned so that sealer paint will adhere. These surfaces may clean up better with additional work. However, this type of additional work is usually not authorized by (or paid for by) insurance companies when painting is still required. If you request any non-covered services, you will be responsible to pay for them.

Deodorizing: We guarantee our deodorizing to be complete provided that all sources of odor have been removed, cleaned or sealed.

Clothing: Your insurance company might encourage you to clean any affected clothing in your home. If the damage is too heavy or if facilities are not available, we may recommend a local professional laundry and dry cleaners we use to do the work. You may use any laundry or dry cleaner that you wish. It is important, however, that they be familiar with smoke damage.

Ductwork: If you have forced air heat, we will inspect your system to determine if smoke has entered the ductwork. If so, we will recommend measures to remedy the situation.

Live Plants. SERVPRO® Franchisees recommend the removal of live plants from the affected property, as we do not take responsibility for these items.

5. WHAT IS RESTORABLE. We will separate and save any items which do not clean completely. Our crews will never throw anything out unless you request it.

6. PRE-EXISTING OR PRE-LOSS CONDITIONS. During the course of cleaning, we will likely remove day-to-day soiling which existed prior to your loss. We are happy to do so. If, however, the removal of pre-existing soil requires significant extra effort, our crews will be instructed to move on to the next item. Pre-existing damage will also be noted.

7. PERSONAL ITEMS. In the course of our survey and cleaning, we will sometimes be required to open doors, cupboards, etc., to qualify and/or restore the damage. If you prefer to remove personal items and personal or financial information from these areas before we start, please let us know.

Area(s):

Guns and Ammunition: Our crews are instructed NEVER to touch guns or ammunition. For this reason we request you remove any such items from the areas we are cleaning.

Jewelry, Valuables, Heirlooms, Sterling Silver and/or Prescription Drugs: Please remove any valuable items from the areas we are cleaning before the job is started. We are not responsible for those items. List any special heirlooms or collectibles that should be given extra special or extra delicate treatment due to their value.

List any personal items, jewelry, valuables, heirlooms, sterling silver and/or prescription drugs being removed by customer:

8. OVERLOOKED ITEMS. Although our supervisors inspect all work, you should accompany the supervisor on the final walk-through and bring any overlooked items or concerns to the supervisor’s attention.

9. INSURANCE ADJUSTERS OR AGENTS. We are neither insurance adjusters nor agents. We cannot authorize anything to be replaced, repaired or painted. Our job is to preserve and protect, stop further damage from occurring; and restore damaged items to their prior condition when possible.

10. HEALTH AND SAFETY. Maintaining your personal health and safety is of great concern to us. All occupants and pets should stay away from the work areas to protect their health and safety during the work process. Material Safety Data Sheets for our products are available upon request.

Treatments: Our process may include the application of EPA-registered disinfectants.

Would you like copies of the MSDS? Y N

11. APPROXIMATE COMPLETION. The actual time required to complete the restoration process is difficult to estimate. We estimate approximately ____ days.
