A1: Only the areas that are repaired under this contract.

Q2: Can I use Mule-Hide PVC product as an accepted equal PVC product?

A2: This appears to be equivelant and thus acceptable.

Q3: What is the existing deck of the roof ? Concrete, Metal, etc. ? Is the Deck sloped ?

A3: Rubber EPDM rubber. Its is slopped to the north from half way of the building and slopped to the south from half way of the building. The Building in question is a double wide modular structure. Whatever is the industry standard for this type of building is what I would assume this deck is made of. The deck is presently sloped, but that could very well have been accomplished with the ISO board insulation.

A4: Yes there is a large open lay down area inside the fence, also outside the fence if they want to use outside area.

Q5: Will power be provided by the USDA or will the contractor have to supply a generator ?
