9.3Each endwall of the tower shall be equipped with a 20" wide aluminum vertical ladder, through-bolted to the endwall structure. Ladder shall rise from the cold water basin level to the top of the fan deck guardrail, and shall be designed and installed in confor- mance with OSHA standards.

10.0Cold Water Collection Basin:

10.1The cold water collection basin shall be of poured-in-place concrete, provided under scope of work done by others. The concrete basin design shall be based upon certified loads and dimen- sions provided by the cooling tower manufacturer.

11.0Scope of Work:

11.1The cooling tower manufacturer shall be responsible for the design, fabrica- tion, and delivery of materials to the project site, and for the erection of the tower over supports provided by others. Unless otherwise specified, all external piping, pumps, controls, and electrical wiring will be outside the cooling tower manufacturer's scope of work.

For the comfort and safety of your operat- ing personnel, the Sigma tower includes a ladder and guardrail of the quality and design indicated—and we strongly recommend that you require it of all bidders! Portable ladders and other “make-do” access means are inappro- priate for equipment of this size and complexity.

■This basic specification assumes that the tower will be erected over a concrete basin at grade level. If the tower is to be installed on an elevated supporting platform, the plywood cold water collection basin indicated on page 17 should be included in the specifications.

■Please be clear in your specifications and inquiry documents regarding the full scope of work expected. That will help assure that your bid comparisons will be made on as equal a basis as possible—and

will help to avoid any misunder- standings during the execution and implementation of the contract.
