Q12.Also, with regard to Exhibit 2, under the Weekly Work Requirements there is a reference to inspection of the task “Damp Mop Restroom Floors” but not to any other weekly damp mopping as is apparently required under paragraph 5.3.2.1. Instead there is a reference to inspecting “Damp Mop Floors – Common Floors” under the Monthly Work Requirements in Exhibit 2.
