deliver, install, and configure replacement industrial-grade UV-blocking mesh screen
curtains and associated hardware for two outdoor storage bay structures located within
the AJW-L600 Cable Yard.
The replacement curtains shall provide protection against UV exposure, weather-related
degradation, and airborne debris while maintaining operational accessibility to stored
equipment.

The Contractor shall furnish all labor, supervision, materials, equipment, transportation,
tools, permits, and incidental services necessary to complete the work described herein.
