With regards to desired panel width/bar spacing for the glazing - polycarbonate glazing will be used on these greenhouses. The glazing spacing specified was based on the existing glazing spacing. If a wider glazing spacing will work with all the other elements of the greenhouse design; vented panels, mechanical, lighting, bay size, etc., then there is no issue with panel spacing. 2. The documents state the greenhouse designer is required to be licensed in the state of Louisiana. The reference to Louisiana is in error, it should state Mississippi. 3. Attach the updated Wage Determination, the previous wage determination has been removed as it out-of-date.
