BEST VALUE SPEC DESCRIPTION
Design, furnish, install, and certify a complete and useable permanent fall protection system, inclusive of all components, appurtenances, fasteners, end stops, carriages, and equipment necessary for safety of maintenance workers. Salient characteristics which will be reviewed under best value source selection include:
1. Compliance with all Occupational Health and Safety regulations. The fall protection system shall allow the user to walk uninterrupted the entire horizontal length of the system without having to unhook from the system to pass through intermediate support points and provide secure anchorage to arrest a fall by the user.

3. Design must be performed, signed, and sealed by a Professional Engineer from the manufacturer experienced in horizontal fall protection systems. Submit qualifications of engineer.
4. Design must provide for access from the roof hatch (where existing) to the roof ridge, allowing for continuous worker tie off to reach the ridge line. For buildings without an existing roof hatch, design must provide for access from the roof eave (at an acceptable location) to the roof ridge, allowing for continuous worker tie off to reach the ridge line. D‐rings are acceptable for ascent and decent parallel to standing seams, or propose alternative method.
5. Low profile and architecturally pleasing systems are preferred, and will be evaluated higher than more obtrusive designs. Choice of finishes in powder coated or anodized aluminum alloy are preferred. Concealed fasteners are preferred.
6. Provide three harnesses per Quad (six total for this contract). Each harness shall be complete and useable with all necessary hardware, lanyards, connectors, and energy absorbing device as recommended by the fall protection system supplier.
7. After fall protection system is installed, the manufacturer's authorized representative shall inspect and operate the system and make any final adjustments. The manufacturer's authorized representative shall issue a certificate attesting to the system's design and installation, and formally submit to the USG.
8. Fall protection system shall be installed under the direction of manufacturer's authorized trained personnel.
