City Testimonial City of Pacific Grove CA, Butterfly Sanctuary Restroom "Green Flush provided the City of Pacific Grove with a restroom for our Monarch Sanctuary, a location where constructing a restroom would have been difficult. The restroom that we purchased suits our needs. The restroom is constructed with precise carpentry, looks great and functions perfectly as designed. Their staff is pleasant to work with, they are very responsive to questions and providing assistance during installation. I highly recommend Green Flush and will use them again in the future for our prefabricated restroom needs." - Daniel Gho, City of Pacific Grove Public Works Director 10 Thank You 11 E Nottingham Park Improvements Project - Prefab Modular Purchase Final Audit Report 2024-10-01 Created:2024-09-25 By:Nicole Mosby (nmosby@avon.org) Status:Signed Transaction ID:CBJCHBCAABAA9qdlbZWLg92CT2wCK7j2XUPYji2x6fvg "E Nottingham Park Improvements Project - Prefab Modular Pur chase" History Document created by Nicole Mosby (nmosby@avon.org) 2024-09-25 - 11:13:26 PM GMT Document emailed to Kyle Earlywine (kyle@greenflushrestrooms.com) for signature 2024-09-25 - 11:14:32 PM GMT Email viewed by Kyle Earlywine (kyle@greenflushrestrooms.com) 2024-09-25 - 11:24:01 PM GMT Document e-signed by Kyle Earlywine (kyle@greenflushrestrooms.com) Signature Date: 2024-09-26 - 9:02:09 PM GMT - Time Source: server Document emailed to nina@wwfdlaw.com for signature 2024-09-26 - 9:02:11 PM GMT Email viewed by nina@wwfdlaw.com 2024-09-26 - 10:43:37 PM GMT Signer nina@wwfdlaw.com entered name at signing as Nina P.
