Harvey I Jeff,
Attached are materials related to a facility service contract for FCERA that I am submitting for your review.
Actually, what we are doing is simply a contract extension, so the amendment is all that is new.
Feel free to share any feedback with Elizabeth, as she is actually the one who oversees this relationship and the draft amendment is her handiwork.
