C1DA--AE Replace Exhaust Fans 583-25-210

The Richard L Roudebush Veterans Affairs Medical Center, located at 1481 West 10th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46202 requires the evaluation, replacement, and commissioning of multiple exhaust fans (both roof mounted and located within conditioned spaces) that have reached the end of their useful service life and present ongoing maintenance and reliability concerns. The existing exhaust fans serve non-critical and critical areas and otherwise poorly documented building areas, with little or no available as-built information defining exact service areas. These fans are not known to support smoke control systems, or cannot fail clinical functions. Minor and temporary loss of exhaust service during evaluation and replacement is acceptable with notification to the likely affected parties.
