I am working on a government project and half of our building is a garage space.
1. Do we have to put 10 ft long floor mats at each exterior door to the garage? We have very large overhead door openings for the vehicles and in atleast one location a floor mat that long would be in the path of vehicular traffic. would we be able to put shorter pats (6 feet) in the garage and perhaps an additional mat at the door between the garage and the administrative portion of the building?
2. Would it be permissible to exclude these floor mats from the contract but include them in our drawings (N.I.C.) and create a cleaning and maintenance plan for the owner? We do have permanent recessed grilles at the main entrance but because the roll mats aren't attached to the floor (and can't be) we may not be able to include them in the project budget.
