Dear Eric,

Your e-mail notifications are among the Blade Runners features I most treasure, after you, Mike, Raul and our several crews. Your e-mail notices help me monitor our contract, and I want them to continue to enter my mailbox. Previously, Elaine Ely was my colleague on the Grounds Committee, but she quit a few years ago, so she does not need to receive your notices anymore. I think I asked Raul to cancel e-mails to her sometime last year, and it appeared that had happened. So if you can pick up from there, that would be good. Otherwise, leave me on your list and delete Elaine. She still cares, but she has chosen not to be involved on the “responsible” level, so she should be off the list.

I also hope you got your billing situation straightened out. For the first three 2011 payments, you billed Sycamore Ridge Condo Association at the 2010 rate. We have since paid the arrearage, so I hope billing is now on track too.

Not that it matters, but I got two of the appended e-mails from you. Identical. I just thought you’d want to know.

President, Sycamore Ridge Condominium Association


Osha has a requirement that all drivers have CPR training. This is often overlooked by contractors and clients should really ask about it.

First-aid and CPR training in Toronto shall be conducted using the conventional methods of training such as lecture, demonstration, practical exercise and examination (both written and practical). The length of training must be sufficient to assure that drivers understand the concepts of first aid and can demonstrate their ability to perform the various procedures contained in the outline below.

The following Blade Runners Staff members have recently completed CPR training and certification:

All people that apply pesticides and herbicides are required to have licensing from the Virginia Department of Agriculture. As such extending education is required each year. See the certificate for Eric Storck, President of Blade Runners, completing this requirment.


Eric,

I want you to know that I am getting nothing but compliments from our residents about the landscaping work. Even the biggest complainer in the HOA began his latest whine with the qualifier that “the common area looks much better.”

I know first-hand from my own career that quality service delivery doesn’t “just happen.” It takes a lot of hands-on supervision and attention to details. We appreciate very much the successful efforts your company is making to keep our neighbor looking first class.

BTW, we are having our first social event of the season this Sunday starting at 5 PM. It is a very informal wine party at the gazebo with some snacks. I don’t want to impose on your weekend, but if you and/or Mike want to stop by with your wives and meet some of our residents then you are most welcome to do so.

Thanks much,

Merle Russ

The guys who will here to clean up, weed and mulch did a wonderful job. I am amazed how many people called and complimented the work. I am excited that this property will finally start looking it’s best.

It’s been a great move for the community

Eric,

I just wanted to tell you that Duke Street is extremely happy with the service that your company provides.  They are always very complimentary and it has been a great move for the community.

Eric and Mike,
My term as a trustee at the church has ended and I’m off to a different committee. I want to thank you two, your crew foremen and employees (both on the grounds and in the office) for the great work you’ve done on behalf of our church this year. Your grounds crew has been diligent, careful and thorough. You two and your office personnel have been patient and responsive to all our questions and needs.
The most frequent thing I’ve heard this year is “the grounds have never looked better.” To many, this is holy ground and your crews have treated it as such.
Thanks for everything,
 
Mark Pearson
Vice chairman / Board of Trustees
Annandale United Methodist Church


Dear Raul and Eric,

Your L2 crew, led by Carlos, did an outstanding job today at Sycamore Ridge Condominium Association in Arlington. They were fast, hard-working and thorough. I’m delighted with the results and hope you will assign L2 here again in the future. Carlos really knows our property now, and he avoids all the pitfalls while doing the work that needs to be done. I’m very grateful.
Sincerely yours,
Jo Allen

Thank you Eric.

Your company and staff live up to your motto: “Always with quality and courtesy.” We are very impressed with the people who have been working at Annandale Unitied. Thank them very much for us. —

Eric:
Please share with your crews the fact that Bannockburn is very happy with your snow service so far this year.
A happy client is a nice thing, indeed.
