Description
The project modernizes the existing fall‑protection infrastructure at Jarman Auditorium’s stage catwalk. The contractor will repair or replace catwalk access ladders, install an upgraded fall‑protection system (guardrails, horizontal lifelines, anchorage, harnesses), and modify the catwalk access door and ladder to accommodate the new system. All work must comply with OSHA, Virginia construction codes, and university safety standards, and will be performed under a lump‑sum contract with no performance or payment bonds required.
• Repair/replace catwalk access ladders and related hardware.
• Design, fabricate, and install a horizontal fall‑protection system meeting ANSI Z359 and OSHA 1926 standards.
• Modify the catwalk access door and install a steel grate and new steel stairs as needed.
• Provide documentation, as‑built drawings, warranties, and training on the fall‑protection system.
• Project schedule: 120 days to substantial completion plus 30 days to final completion (≈150 days total).
