C. Definitions/Applicable Documents ASHRAE 110; American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers standard 110 AIHA; American Industrial Hygiene Association OSHA: Occupational Safety and Health Administration NFPA: National Fire Protection Association

D. Scope: The scope for this work statement is the delivery and installation of a general-purpose benchtop fume hood. The fume hood will meet the technical requirements specified below and will be transported and delivered to the USGS office located at 19241 David Memorial Dr, Ste 180, The Woodlands, TX.

II. WORK REQUIREMENTS

A. Technical Requirements.

1. The specific work requirements are listed below.

The design shall be a general-purpose benchtop fume hood that is approximately 48 inches wide (maximum of 54 inches and minimum of 42 inches).

The fume hood liner material shall be made of fiberglass or PVC The performance of the installed vent hood must meet American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) 110, American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards for vent hood construction and performance.

Per the ASHRAE, AIHA, OSHA, and NFPA standards listed above, the installation shall include an exhaust blower with sufficient power and durability to maintain airflow through the fume hood face and upwards into the exhaust ducting.

The roof stack shall include a weather cap if needed based on an assessment of the on-site setup.

The fume hood vertical sash shall be constructed of tempered safety glass and be a sliding design (adjustable to a continuous range).

Lighting shall be provided inside the vent hood. The light switch would be wired and controlled separately from the exhaust blower switch if possible.

In accordance with OSHA, NFPA, and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards, the vent hood shall be equipped with a permanently installed flow indicator, flow alarm, or face velocity alarm indicator as applicable to alert users to improper exhaust flow.

About 30 feet of ducting to the roof will be required. The ducting material shall match the material used for the fume hood liner. All necessary supplies for the installation of this ducting are required as part of this purchase request.

2. Criteria for acceptance of Product or Service: The existing fume hood and ducting (including all elbows and transition pieces), exhaust blower, and roof stack shall be decommissioned, removed, and disposed of. The new fume hood, ducting to the roof stack, and the roof stack and exhaust blower shall then be installed and connected to the electric supply of the building. The complete installation (fume hood, ducting, roof stack, exhaust blower) shall be tested to ensure condensation does not build up and leak into the fume hood. Once installed, the fume hood will be tested to meet ASHRAE 110 standards by either the company furnishing the fume hood, performing the installation, or a 3rd party arranged by the company awarded the purchase request. A written one-year warranty shall be provided for the replacement for the repair or replacement of parts and reasonable labor as a result of normal and proper use of the equipment
