Government Response: CFM should be verified by the name tag. To the best of my knowledge, it’s 27,800cfm.

21. Louvers (Section Configuration)

The existing louvers appear to be constructed in multiple sections. The supplier can match the existing sectional configuration if required; however, please clarify whether an exact match is required. If an alternate configuration with a different quantity of sections is proposed, will that be acceptable?

Please note that a change in configuration may require a special build with engineered shop drawings, which could extend manufacturing lead times.
