The descriptions of the bleachers are as follows: Outdoor Aluminum model DLW 5-15 or equal Number of rows: 5 Overall Length: 15 feet 2. Understructure: The understructure of the bleacher shall consist of a series of welded aluminum angle frames spaced at intervals of no more than 6 feet and joined by means of aluminum sway braces, alloy 6061-T6, and mill finish. Each frame shall consist of vertical members, adequate diagonal braces, and horizontal members welded to form 8" rise and 24" back-to-back spacing between seat rows. All welded connections shall be by certified aluminum welders and all mating parts shall be welded on all sites to assure adequate strength. 3. Design: The bleacher shall be designed to support, in addition to its own weight, a uniformly distributed live load of not less than 100 pounds per square foot of gross horizontal projection of the bleacher. All seat and foot plank members shall be designed to support not less than 120 pounds per linear foot. The bleacher shall be designed to resist, with or without live load, a horizontal wind load appropriate for local conditions. It shall also be designed to resist, in addition to the live load, sway forces applied to the seats in a direction parallel to the length of the seat planks no less than 24 pounds per linear foot; and, in a direction perpendicular, stresses in aluminum members and connections shall not exceed those specified for Building Type Structures by the Aluminum Association. This bleacher shall be designed to meet the current 2009 IBC and ICC 300-2007 building codes. 4.
