A_-_8'_Bench_Spec.pdf

This document is a detailed technical drawing for an 8' historic park bench, specifically the Pittsburgh Historic Park Bench from 1965, produced for the City of Pittsburgh's Department of Public Works. The drawing provides comprehensive elevation and side elevation views at different scales (1"=1'-0" and 1-1/2"=1'-0"), with precise specifications for bench construction using whiteoak wood. The technical drawing includes specific measurements for top and bench slats (top slat: 3-5/4" x 1-1/4"; bench slats: 2-1/2" x 1-1/4"), cross braces (1/4" x 3/4" x 2'-8 3/4"), and detailed notes about material requirements, drilling specifications, and mounting instructions.

The document appears to be a technical specification for potential vendors bidding on the City of Pittsburgh's park bench procurement, providing exact manufacturing and material guidelines. The drawing includes multiple technical annotations specifying precise construction details, such as requirements for all bolts (5/16" x 1" with nuts), wood grain orientation, and specific drilling instructions. While the drawing does not include pricing or direct procurement terms, it serves as a critical technical specification that would be included in a competitive bidding process for manufacturing and supplying park benches to the city's Department of Public Works.
