The Contractor shall provide any additional equipment, (such as forklifts, Bobcats, manlifts, etc.) necessary for continuous support of the assembly and shall provide qualified operators. The Contractor shall provide a lifting sketch, as described below, 90 days prior to arrival of equipment. Lifting sketches, as a minimum, shall identify the following:

a. The weight of the load.
