Concrete pads shall be poured for all three new assets, two being 50’x30’ and being able to support a minimum of 50,000 pounds and the other being 30’x25’and able to support a minimum of 20,000 pounds. Conduit will be put in place for communication lines but the connecting of signal lines is outside of the scope of work for this project. A fourth asset requiring a 208/120 volt, 3 phase, 800 amp service with concrete pad and conduit may also be part of this project or separate potentially.
