Would it not be better to include the flex ducts with this solicitation to ensure that they are at least getting serviced at the time of cleaning? This would help us in making sure the air flow is strong as it leaves the dryer and enters into all ducting. Ref to below note.

See Note below under R1 I also noticed at the site visit the amount of lint on the floor and surrounding areas, this would also help in keeping the room clean as far as the hoses been attached and no damage to the flex hose? We stock these types of hoses so changing them can be done on a case by case basis. This is what we do for other maintenance contracts we have.

See Note below under R1 If there is a chance for a clothes dryer, the flex hose and then the fixed ducting. We feel a lot more confident in reducing fire risk and are insured that the beginning ot the is free of lint.
