Project Location:

USDA, APHIS, Phoenix Rearing Facility 3645 E. Chipman Road Phoenix AZ. 85040

Background:

The Phoenix Rearing Facility (PRF) is a 69,000 square foot facility that produces and ships around one million insects per day. Our facility has 106 fan coil units that have pleated pre-filters and pleated return air filters. The pleated filters are MERV 8 rated with multiple sizes throughout. Six of our fan coil units and one air handler also contain HEPA filters. The building also has three walk-in coolers that have ten evaporator units, each also with pleated filters.

To gain better control of bacterial growth and clean and filtered breathing air, we need a service contract to replace all the air filters. Some areas such as the walk-in coolers need to be replaced weekly. The remaining units need to be replaced monthly, and the HEPA filters replaced every six months. The dark rooms and larvae rooms are changed monthly. The other production areas such as the egg layer rooms currently have washable filters which need to be changed to pleated filters. We need to have custom fabricated frames designed and built to our specifications that would be used with the media being used in the moth collection areas and the shipping coolers. We have found using media in these areas makes it easier for our employees to vacuum without the filters getting damaged. We have tested washable media in place of pleated filters and have found it’s a better choice since we vacuum the walk-in cooler evaporator units twice a day.

Scope:

· Provide all required sizes of filters (see below) throughout the facility.

· Provide all required reusable media for the walk-in coolers.

· Remove and dispose of used filters in the dumpsters provided.

· Measure all openings where custom frames are required.

· Fabricate removable frames for the media that will be used in the walk-in coolers.

· Fabricated frames must be in three sections for each evaporator unit. This makes it easier for removal.

· Required sizes and quantities of MERV 8 pleated filters are as follows:

· 7.5x52x1: 13

· 8x26x1: 10

· 7.5x36x1: 2

· 14x25x1: 4

· 8x60x1: 1

· 20x24x1: 2

· 18x24x1: 154

· 16x24x1: 5

· 24x24x2: 16

· 16x33x1: 4

· 20x24x1: 159

· 14x30x1: 2

· 20x22x1: 2

· 12x24x2: 1

· 14x20x1: 10

· 14x25x1: 54

· HEPA filters

· 24x24x12: 14

· 12x12x12: 1

Schedule:

· Walk-in coolers: filters changed weekly, media changed semi-annually.

· Dark rooms, larval rooms, hallways, shop and electrical room: filters changed monthly.

· All HEPA filters: changed every six months.
