About this file

This document is a specification section for snow guards to be installed on a roof renovation project at Building 54 of the Defense Supply Center Richmond in Virginia. The specification provides requirements for rail-type snow guards to be attached through a PVC roof membrane system onto new metal roof decking. The snow guards are to be dark bronze anodized aluminum with brackets and bases of stainless steel. They must be designed by a professional engineer to withstand snow and wind loads, temperature fluctuations, and specified safety factors. The snow guards must be installed in a continuous rail system with attachment plates spaced at 6 feet maximum center-to-center. The related federal contract opportunity is for the roof replacement project at Building 54 with the solicitation number W91236-20-B-2004 and being conducted by the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Norfolk District.
