Arrangements for site visit shall be made with the facility manager Mr. Merle Alexander (402) 294-2663.

Leveling screws shall be accessible from the top surface of decking and adjustable during installation and when full-loaded.

Installers shall be responsible for clean-up and disposal of packing materials and general clean-up during and after shelving installation. Shelving systems and components shall be warranted for five years from date of installation. Workmanship shall be warranted for at least one year from date of installation. Shelving systems shall be ready for installation on 1 Jul 97. Actual date of installation shall be determined by facility manager, based on the construction/renovation of the area.
