MANAGER OF SALES
In accordance with your request, we are pleased to submit for
your favorable consideration, the following proposal which will
provide Project Eversafe with:
1. Underground atomic security for vital records
2. A relocation site for disaster operations by
personnel of Project Eversafe
Project Eversafe will be developed in our underground operations
located 220 feet below the surface, in a worked-out vein of solid
limestone.
Based on our initial discussions, we propose to rehabilitate a
total of 10,000 square feet of floor space, underground, which
shall be known as Project Eversafe, and developed in the follow-
ing manner:
1. LIMESTONE ROOF AND WALLS
All limestone roof and wall areas within the demised prem-
ises shall be thoroughly scaled and made completely free
of loose stone or other material which might create a
hazardous condition;- after which procedure all such roof
and wall areas shall be thoroughly cleaned and made com-
pletely free of loose particles and dust, preparatory to
painting. The surface of all roof and wall areas shall'
then be given one coat of aluminum paint which shall be
applied by the spray method.
2. CLOSING THE CROSS-CUT OPENINGS
All openings between, in or through the limestone ribs or
walls, comprising the outside perimeter of the demised
premises, shall be completely closed with concrete block
block masonry, thereby sealing the space demised to Lessee;
PITTSBURGH 21, PA.

provided, however, that certain door openings in such masonry
shall be reserved as hereinafter specified. All such masonry
shall consist of 10" cured concrete blocks erected or installed
in a workmanlike and presentable manner.
3. DOORS
In the cement block walls enclosing the demised premises, three
door openings shall be provided which shall be located at points
to be agreed upon by Lessor and Lessee. In one such door open-
ing (which shall be located at a point most appropriate for
receiving incoming and removing outgoing materials) shall be
installed a pair of labeled flush-type hollow steel doors, com-
plete with hardware and locks, having a combined opening area
of approximately 81 x 101. In a second such door opening (which
shall be located at a point most convenient as a personnel en-
trance and exit) shall be installed a 8' x 71 single labeled
flush-type hollow steel door. The other door opening shall be
located at a point most appropriate as an emergency exit, and
shall be equipped with a single labeled flush-type hollow steel
door which shall be provided with inside panic-type hardware to
permit exit only at that location.
4. FLOOR AND FLOOR GRADE
The floor of the entire demised premises shall be back-filled
with limestone to provide an equal elevation between the ribs.
Longitudinally, the floor shall be back-filled and graded in
such a manner as to maintain a finished grade of not exceeding
three-fourths (3/4) of one per cent (1%). If necessary, in
order to maintain a grade not exceeding the limits mentioned,
ramps shall be installed where floor elevations require.
Such ramps, wherever installed, shall be of such grades as to
permit the ready movement of hand trucks or similar equipment
in negotiating all ramps. The floor throughout the demised
premises shall be finished by the application of a bituminous
surface course corresponding with and equal to Pennsylvania
State Highway Department Specification ID-2. The binder
course shall be a total thickness of 3/4" after compression
under a tandem power roller weighing not less than 10 tons.
5. LIGHTING
The demised premises shall be provided with the following
lighting facilities:
(a) One unbroken row of two-lamp Instant Start industrial
fluorescent fixtures, extending longitudinally through-
out the length of the demised premises, which shall be
controlled at a lighting panel board. to be conveniently
located.

(b) Industrial lighting fixtures over all doorways, on the
outside of the said premises which shall be connected

demised premises as may be reasonably required by
Lessee.
(e) All circuit wiring required for the aforementioned
installations shall be provided. All such wiring
carrying primary lines shall be enclosed in metal
conduit.
6. HEATING AND AIR CIRCULATION
There shall be mounted in the concrete block wall, near
the limestone roof, a-20 KW heater and blower for the
purpose of pulling air into the said premises as well as
heating and circulating the said air, This combination
heater and blower shall be connected to a thermostat
mounted on the said wall. In addition, there shall be
installed the necessary 7-1/2 KW heaters, properly spaced
and connected to the limestone roof, for the purpose of
controlling humidity. Each heater shall be connected to
a humidistat which shall automatically activate each
heater as humidity conditions require. There shall be
installed in the concrete block wall air filter louvers
of sufficient capacity for the expulsion of stale air
from within the demised premises. All equipment installed
for the purpose of heating shall be of suitable design and
capacity to provide a constant temperature within the de-
mised premises of approximately 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and
a relative humidity of approximately 55%. In addition,
such heating equipment shall provide a constant and ample
movement of air within the said premises at all times.
7. SANITARY FACILITIES
(Gentlemen) At an appropriate location within the 10,000
square foot area, we propose to construct with 84 concrete
block, a sanitary room for men. This room will be access-
ible through a 2'71" x 71 single non-labeled flush-type
hollow steel door having one adjustable louver. Within
