- The asphalt is flat, however there might be some very minor sloping (do not know the degree of slope).

- The asphalt on the ground is approx. 6 inches thick.

*Note: Just to clarify the area where the structures will be placed is not a slab of concrete it's asphalt.

2.) STRUCTURES: we will insert 2 Double Slope 15X30 H4

(indicative drawing is attached) excluding lighting system, electrical system, earthing and installation against atmospheric discharges.

4.) Regarding the temperature and humidity ranges, must the machines remain within these ranges or will temperatures and humidity be given with established values and the control unit will have to respond to these settings?

Our machines guarantee to stay within these ranges but it becomes complex to have temperatures and humidity changed frequently.

Taking this fact into consideration, we ask, if possible, to have information and/or technical data sheets regarding air conditioning units you already use and which meet the parameters you have requested.

- The temperature and humidity levels must be within the prescribed range per Statement of

Work (SOW) requirement under point 5.
