- Description
- Solicitation for Construction Services to retrofit the HVAC system for the prisoner holding and transfer areas at the U.S. Courthouse, 5400 Federal Plaza, Hammond, Indiana, to ensure that the airborne pathogens are not allowed to infiltrate the air systems serving the rest of the courthouse. The existing system will be modified to provide a closed HVAC system for the prisoner areas that utilizes 100% outside air for supply, conditions and circulates the air within the space and exhausts all of it to the outside through HEPA filters. At the transfer corridor on the lower level and holding areas on the second, third, and fourth levels, ductwork will be reworked and existing VAV boxes or air handling units will provide supply air. Reworked duct, together with new exhaust fans with HEPA filters, will exhaust the air. Existing mechanical, electrical and plumbing elements will be relocated, if required, to install the new ductwork. The work will be performed largely off hours and coordinated to minimize the impact on the prisoner holding and transfer associated with the courthouse operation.
