Email Body
Ms. Bryant,

Thank you for sharing the clarification from IT — I appreciate you
coordinating on this.

To help narrow the scope and reduce the associated time and cost, I’d like
to confirm the following revised parameters for PRR-726-2025 *for purposes
of receiving an updated estimate/quote*:

• *Search term: “Gaddy”*
– Date range: *July 1, 2024 through December 31, 2025*

• *Search term: “Todd Shoemaker”*
– Date range: *May 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025*

• *Custodians:* City of Brookhaven employees and officials
• *Record types:* Emails and email attachments only

These searches relate to communications concerning or referencing the
properties located at *2740 Grove Street NE, Brookhaven, Georgia, and/or
2746 Grove Street NE, Brookhaven, Georgia*, and are intended to capture
only records relevant to those properties.

For clarity, could you please confirm that the search terms “Gaddy” and
“Todd Shoemaker” are applied across *sender and recipient fields (including
email addresses and domains such as **@gaddysurveydesign.com
<http://gaddysurveydesign.com>** and **@toddshoemaker.com
<http://toddshoemaker.com>**), subject lines, and email body content*?

Once confirmed, I would appreciate receiving a *revised written
estimate/quote* reflecting these refinements. I can then review and advise
on next steps.

Thank you again for your help. Please let me know if you need any further
clarification.

Warm regards,

Sarah Zeeman
