Vendor shall deliver to MEDVAMC and install the new hoods, hooking hoods to existing exhaust ducts with Fernco boots, certify/test and train on use. Order will consist of four 4-foot polypropylene chemical fume hoods with air flow monitors and one 6- foot polypropylene chemical fume hood with airflow monitor. Scope Abate and remove existing chemical fume hoods to be replace. Provide equipment to be shipped to MEDVAMC, 2002 Holcombe Blvd- Bldg. 100 Warehouse, Houston, Texas 77030. The Vendor shall provide all resources necessary to accomplish the deliverables described in the statement of work (SOW) except as may otherwise be specified. Salient characteristics- Chemical Fume hoods (4 ft or 6 ft) The chemical fume hoods are the primary engineering controls to limit exposure to hazardous chemicals, toxic fumes, vapors, gases or dust studies in research experiments. The chemical fume hood is ducted and has an exhaust fan to pull air away from the worker through the duct out into the atmosphere. The following specifications are to optimize the protection of personnel. Chemical fume hoods must be designed to have no recirculation of air to the lab, only to the outside by a connected duct and exhaust fan. Chemical fume hood face velocity a minimum of 100-120 FPM. Chemical storage cabinets directly under a the newly installed fume hood shall be ventilated to the fume hood exhaust. The chemical fume hood cabinet shall be vented using stainless steel flex ducting connecting the hood at the exhaust duct collar or Fernco boots Self- closing horizontal sash may be installed for energy conservation or a fix horizontal sash. Sashes should be horizontal and may have the capability to completely close off the hood face. Sashes should be made of safety glass. Laminated or tempered safety glass, Interior fume hood surfaces must be constructed of polypropylene with welded leak tight construction. The chemical fume hood body and acid cabinet will be made of polypropylene to take the humidity and constant temperature changes in the research building. The work surface inside the fume hood must be of the recessed type. With a recessed type work surface spills can be effectively contained by the retaining lip. Per the Cal-OSHA standards, an airflow indicator must be provided at the fume hood. A sensor with an associated audible/visual alarm is required-flow meter. Light fixtures inside the hood should be sealed and vapor tight. Must have air and vacuum valves, two corks on each side of the hood for flexibility of utility connection. Must have the ability to have electrical source located inside the hood work area for stir plates, scales, and other electrical equipment Vendor price must include abatement of existing cabinets, freight, installation, certification, testing and training.
