Scope of Work

1. Project Title: High Velocity Air Handler Units Replacement with Design

2. Project Location: Bob Casey Federal Courthouse 515 Rusk Avenue Houston, Texas 77002

Building Location Hours: After Hours or Week Ends

3. Purpose: Replace the 50+ year old units which are worn out and inefficient with new high efficiency fan wall units designed for the building size. It is conjectured that the existing units were designed for a building that was to be twice the height but was cut back due to budgetary reasons. There have been no studies or calculations done to confirm this. Part of the design build of this project is to provide proper sizing.
