The contractor shall be responsible for rerouting the new dryer exhaust ductwork per applicable codes out of the existing building. The proposed ducts will be constructed of sheet metal or other noncombustible material, sized properly, and assembled so the interior surfaces are smooth, as to make sure the joints do not permit the accumulation of lint. In addition, no sheet metal screws or fasteners will be used on exhaust pipe joints which extend into the duct. The proposed duct system will ensure that all static back pressure requirements are met per manufacturer's specifications. Currently there are four dryers that are ducted together and then are single ducted into a plenum that is attached to the building's HVAC air handler. The new dryer exhaust ductwork needs to be rerouted out of the plenum and out of the building to be safely exhausted away from the building's HVAC system. Contractor will provide a drawing to be approved by FBOP prior to work being started. 

FCI Allenwood staff will ensure a representative is present to allow access to all areas requested by the Contractor. It shall be the Contractors responsibility to obtain all measurements and manufactures installation recommendations. 

The FBOP will occupy the site during the entire construction period. Contractor shall perform the work to not interfere with the FBOP's operations as minimal as possible.
