Lemma 18.29.3. Let $(\mathcal{C}, \mathcal{O})$ be a ringed site. Let $\mathcal{F}$ be locally of finite presentation and flat. Then given an object $U$ of $\mathcal{C}$ there exists a covering $\{ U_ i \to U\} $ such that $\mathcal{F}|_{U_ i}$ is a direct summand of a finite free $\mathcal{O}_{U_ i}$-module.
Proof. Choose an object $U$ of $\mathcal{C}$. After replacing $U$ by the members of a covering, we may assume there exists a presentation
\[ \mathcal{O}_ U^{\oplus r} \to \mathcal{O}_ U^{\oplus n} \to \mathcal{F}|_ U \to 0 \]
By Lemma 18.28.14 we may, after replacing $U$ by the members of a covering, assume there exists a factorization
\[ \mathcal{O}_ U^{\oplus n} \to \mathcal{O}_ U^{\oplus n_1} \to \mathcal{F}|_ U \]
such that the composition $\mathcal{O}_ U^{\oplus r} \to \mathcal{O}_ U^{\oplus n} \to \mathcal{O}_ U^{\oplus n_ r}$ is zero. This means that the surjection $\mathcal{O}_ U^{\oplus n_ r} \to \mathcal{F}|_ U$ has a section and we win. $\square$
