Lewis President Judy L. Lewis, C.P.A. Vice President November 16, 2007 Ms. Tracy Ackroyd, CMC, City Clerk City of Clermont P. O. Box 120219 Clermont, FL 34712-0219 E-mailed to: tackrovd(c~clermontfl.or~ Dear Tracy, (Schedule One) Good to hear from you today. Also glad to hear my firm was the only respondent to your request for SOQs, although I am not surprised. Based on our visit and conversation, my observation and experience; I propose to write for the City a Disposition List in accordance with Rule Chapter 12B-24, Florida Administrative Code. This will be done in concert with interviews with each respective Department with a view towards agreeing to the Record Series Titles and inclusive dates the City wishes to destroy. Based on this approved list, I will identify and destroy the records from those you pointed to in the "bowling alley" and at the Public Service warehouse. The City will provide all necessary containers and the labor to remove and be responsible for the destruction of the records I identify for destruction. For records with remaining retention, I will containerize as necessary and create a word searchable index written to MS Access, much as I did in your former Town. I will travel round trip from Vero Beach each day or lodge as I see fit. I will be responsible for all work, yet I may also use trained, experienced staff under my direction. Further, I will make recommendations for the Disposition of remaining records. This work, if approved, will span several months. I will coordinate activities with you. These activities will commence January 7, 2008 and continue as our mutual schedules allow. My total fee for these services, inclusive, is $25,000.00 for up to 800 cubic feet of records. Any additional services provided beyond 800 cubic feet shall be billed at the rate of $30.00 per cubic foot, again including all related expenses. I'm looking forward to working with you again. Please call me to discuss any of this you wish. Sincerely, Steve M.
