An evaluation for the current proposed <br />renovations will need to include testing and supporting data. <br /> <br />This proposal amends our services to add the following: <br />· Structural analysis of existing elevated floor for allowable dead and live loads associated within <br />the areas with altered occupancy/use classification. <br />· One (1) site visit is included to measure the existing structure. <br />· A final letter report of our findings will be provided. <br />· This scope does not include the design of the retrofit if reinforcing is required; this can be <br />provided in a future contract if desired. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 3DC0AE71-E354-450D-A59D-E0381668C87F
