CLIN 0002 RENTAL PERIOD

Each unit is anticipated to have approximately a 35 day rental period averaged out. Due to the issues on the ground as the government works on the Powerhouse units, the dates per unit may adjust to accommodate the actual rental needs. An initial estimated 245 days of actual daily scaffolding rental are funded in this CLIN to cover all unit rental days. Over time, the total days may become more (if modified providing additional funding to cover additional days), or less days.
