LEED User credit checklists for this credit indicate that a copy of the cleaning contract must be provided. However, the roll out mat section of the tempalte does not have an upload button, or ask to provide a copy of the cleaning contract. There is only a box to provide a narrative description of floor mats, mat type(s) and locations, and description of the maintenance procedure. In my expereince on previous projects, a letter from the owner was required by the USGBC.
1. Is it necesary to provide a copy of the contract in version 3/2009?
2. If contract is required, where does one upload the contract?
3. Can a letter from the owner be provided instead of the contract as long as it contains all the pertinent information?

We have achieved this credit on a couple 2009 projects by just writing a good narrative and not providing additional supporting documentation. Of course, reviews vary a little from project to project, so that doesn't necessarily mean you won't need additional information. If I were you, I would submit with only a narrative and worry about additional documentation only if the credit is marked for clarification sduring the review.
