Snow Rail System

Statement of Work

A. Background:

The Cumberland Manufactured Housing Storage Site located in Cumberland, Maryland is one of two sites within FEMA that stores manufactured houses. The site contains a 145’ x 400’ building that is used to store pre-containerized meals and water. Because this building is climate-controlled, the temperature is inspected every three hours. During the winter, snow accumulates on the metal roof and stays there until it begins to melt. Due to the nature of metal roofs, the snow breaks free and falls down all at once. This is a serious safety concern for personnel entering the building to perform the inspections.
