Background, assumptions and specific scope of the contract

The Kitimat Hatchery is a salmonid enhancement site by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, near Kitimat, British Columbia, Canada.

The team's on-call residence is available to DFO staff, on a seasonal or temporary basis, to operate or maintain the hatchery. Currently, heavy snowfall often blocked access to this residence. The awning is to make the building accessible without significant snow removal.

The foundations of the building are soles mounted on the surface. It must be ensured that new construction work does not damage the existing soles mounted on that surfaces.
