The Proposed Project

The Department of National Defence (DND) has proposed a project. The present project involves the execution of works as well as the provision of labor, materials, and tools necessary for the design and installation of a walkway with guardrails on the roof of building 225 to ensure safe access to the two air conditioning units installed there. The walkway, 36 inches wide, will consist of two sections. A lateral walkway approximately 20 meters long to reach the center of the roof and a longitudinal walkway approximately 40 meters long located between the two air conditioning units. The walkway and guardrails will be made of treated wood and will be installed on evenly distributed blocks on the roof.
