SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS FOR CUSTOM AUDIOLOGY BOOTH:

Any audiology suite provided under the contract shall meet the following minimum features. Contractor shall provide product data sheets that show the booths to be provided meet the salient characteristics:

FEATURES:

174” l x 117”w x 103” h 36"w x 73 3/4"h Clear opening doors c/w 20"w x 60"h acoustic windows & deadbolt key lock 24"w x 30"h double glazed 1/4" acoustic window s between rooms Static exhaust and static intake ceiling silencers c/w 8" collars Jack panel c/w twelve 1/4" phone jacks, two USB & one 1" pass-thru LED ceiling lighting Standard carpeting 4" Thick floor c/w rd-3 green isolators (control & exam room) Two quad outlets, 4 duplex outlets & two light dimmer switches CSA approved electrical: 120v, 12a, 60 Hz Empty utility box for fire alarm strobe as needed Empty utility box for thermostat as needed Empty utility box for data connections as needed Sprinkler access hole in both control and exam portion as needed

Wall and Ceiling Construction: Wall and ceiling panels are 100 mm (4") thick (walls) and 150mm (6”) thick (Ceilings). They shall be fabricated with 14 swg cold rolled steel frames and 16 swg steel outer surfaces, and framing members spaced not more than 610 mm (24") centers. The inner faces are 22 swg cold rolled steel perforated with 2.4 mm (3/32") holes on 4.0 mm (5/32") staggered centers. Inside of the outer face, panels are damped with 1” of sheetrock. Panels are filled with incombustible and inert acoustical filler having a density of not less than 1.4 kg per cubic metre (3 lb per cubic foot). Panels interlock and provide an acoustical seal using a minimum of two Cam-Lok interlocking panel connectors and a minimum of two sets of closed cell acoustic rubber seals.

Floor Construction: Floors are 100 mm (4") thick with 11 swg cold rolled steel walking surfaces, 14 swg cold rolled steel framing members and 16 swg bottom face sheets. Acoustical filler is high density, incombustible mineral wool fill with a minimum density of 1.4 kg per cubic metre (3 lb per cubic foot). The entire floor floats on vibration isolators and rails. Isolators are rated with a natural frequency of 6.5 Hz.

Door Construction: Doors are 75 mm (2 7/8") thick, of similar construction to that of the walls and ceiling. Doors are flush mounted on heavy duty cam lift hinges. A double magnetic gasket sealing system and fush sill seal design assures the acoustic seal. Standard door has a clear opening of 914 mm x 1873 mm (36" x 73-3/4").

Window Construction: Double-glazed 610 mm x 762 mm (24" x 30"). Window is constructed using 6 mm (1/4") safety glass and is set in the panel using a viseo-elastic gasket.

Ventilation: Ventilation silencers are ceiling mounted. A total of two silencers per control side and two silencers per exam side, one supply and one exhaust, are provided for each room. Note: Optional HVAC collars are available upon request to hook up the buildings own ventilation system.

Electricity and Lighting: Rooms are equipped with ceiling mounted LED lighting and at least one duplex outlet per wall. Optional additional lighting and electrical outlets are available. All cabling is inside the acoustic wall system wherever possible, is connected to the outside by way of a surface mounted electrical box.

Clinical Jack Panel: A pre-wired jack panel is provided with twelve (3-wire) phone jacks, two USB connections and a 25 mm (1") capped pass-through connection. The panel face is removable and does not detract from the room's acoustical performance.
