RE: City of Clearwater Nuisance and Exotic Vegetation Control and Maintenance on City
Lakes, Ponds and Channels Program, Town Pond and Brighthouse Facility Contract
Termination
Dear Ms. Finch:
Pursuant to our meeting this morning concerning termination of the above-mentioned contracts, the
follpwing is a summary of the current status of outstanding invoices for this project:
1. On July 2, 2004, I met with Heather Feassler who informed me she was not satisfied
with the quality of our lake management efforts. Her estimation was that 28 of the 31
lakes/mitigation areas in the three contracts AES currently has with the City of
Clearwater were out of compliance with respect to nuisance species infestation. I
requested two weeks to bring the ponds into compliance. AES and Luke Brothers, our
new lake management subconsultant, immediately began a concentrated effort to bring
all of the water bodies into compliance.
2. On July 15, 2004, you called me to inform you were canceling all three of AES's
contracts with the City of Clearwater. AES inunediately stopped work on all City of
Clearwater contracts.
3. Today, we agreed to withdraw the following unpaid AES mVOlces due to non-
performance for Lake Management Services:
Invoice #10262, dated 6/11/04, Site 32 for May 2004 $275.00
Invoice #10263, dated 6/11/04, Sites 1-31 for May 2004 $3,465,00

Total $8,530.00
