Please provide detailed photographs from multiple angles. * Unit Dimensions: Measure the existing unit's length, width, and height. Document the location of all utility connections (electrical, gas, etc.).

See SOW Schedule of Delivery Performance.

2. Crane Accessibility and Location: * Distance from Building:

Identify potential crane locations on the ground and measure the horizontal distance to the building's edge. Document any obstacles between the crane location and the rooftop (trees, power lines, etc.). * Vertical Reach: Measure the building's height from the ground to the rooftop. Calculate the required lift height to place the new unit onto the curb. * Ground Conditions: Assess the ground conditions at potential crane locations (level, stable, etc.). Note the presence of any underground utilities. * Access Routes: Evaluate access routes for the crane (narrow roads, low bridges, etc.).

See SOW Description of Building 5845.

3. York Curb Box Compatibility: * York Specifications: Provide the detailed specifications for the proposed York HVAC unit, including required curb dimensions. * Curb Compatibility: Verify the compatibility of the new York curb box with the existing roof opening and structure. * Curb Adaptability: Determine if curb adapters will be necessary. Important Considerations: * Safety is paramount. All work must be performed by qualified professionals. * Ensure compliance with all applicable building codes and regulations. * A professional on-site assessment by an HVAC contractor and crane operator is highly recommended.

The utility poles and high voltage wires are approximately 26 feet away from the outer perimeter fence. The crane can position on the outer perimeter roadway between the outer fence and utility poles/high voltage wires. The crane operator should be able to position whereas to not disturb the electric. The lines will not be de-energized during this project.
