Awning_Statement_of_Work.docx

USDA-ARS Pullman, WA has a requirement to build a covered awning next to our existing covered storage building at 4153 Albion Rd, Pullman, WA 99163.

This structure should be -20 feet long, 20 foot roof peak, and a width of 48 foot span.

-Roofing is required to be an equal match to existing attached building roof, to maximum extent possible.

-The ground is asphalt with railroad iron inlaid at four distances from the building.

-The structure need to be self-supporting and withstand normal local weather conditions including; heavy snowfall, and high winds.

-The structure shall not impede the use of the sliding door located on the southeast side of the building.

-Rain gutters and downspouts are required to reach ground level to prevent rain splash. This can be tied into the two downspouts already on the building.

-Support columns on the road shall be protected with barriers to prevent vehicles from damaging this structure, or cement posts on the awning to protect from potential driving hazards.

-The north and east sides of the structure should be open to allow access and ventilation.

-The south side of the awning should be stabilized with a partial wall to keep winds from lifting the roof from the Southwest direction which is where most of our wind blows from during the year.
