Contractor to design and build a thermal break under concrete pad to prevent condensation and cracking. Williamsburg County requires that at least two or three 2" PVC pipes equally spaced apart be laid just under the slab of the freezer and run the width of the freezer to increase air circulation under the slab and reduce "wicking" that occurs when moisture is drawn from the ground through the concrete and also to prevent possible cracking of the concrete floor. The pipes will need to be elbowed at angles and have a vent cap on them. Before the deadline for questions, Contractors may suggest an alternate way to prevent concrete cracking for the County's review and approval. Responses will then be issued by addendum for all bidders to view.

See below for specifications for the reinforced floor alternate #1 item.
