4.1 Background & Site Description:

Government has a need to repair and prevent further deterioration and maintain structural integrity of the greenhouse. The greenhouse structure is supported by galvanized steel pipe located along the perimeter of the facility. Over time, the lower sections of several support pipes have deteriorated due to prolonged exposure to moisture and environmental conditions. Inspection of several pipe identified thirteen (13) support pipes need to be repaired.

The work site consists of an existing greenhouse facility. The greenhouse is enclosed with corrugated polycarbonate wall panels, aluminum trim, and insect screen. The support pipes requiring repair are located along the perimeter walls and are partially concealed by existing corrugated polycarbonate wall panels and insect screen. Contractor access will require temporary removal of portions of the lower wall panels, insect screen and associated trim.
