SCOPE OF WORK:

Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) intends to
retain a firm of Mechanical Engineers in the capacity of Prime
Consultant together with a multi-disciplinary team of
Sub-consultants for the provision of services required for the
proposed upgrade of the Laboratory Exhaust System at CCIW,
Government of Canada Building located at 867 Lakeshore Road,
Burlington, Ontario.

 The work involves amalgamating individual fume hood exhaust
systems into a variable flow high plume exhaust system. 
Addition of variable flow dampers into the fume hood exhausts
and general exhausts as well as integration with the existing
Variable Air Volume (VAV) dual duct boxes and variable flow
supply ventilation systems is required.  The proposed roof
mounted exhaust systems will provide fume / general exhaust from
individual 4th to 7th floor laboratories into a high plume
exhaust system.  Glycol heat recovery to the supply systems is
required.  Assessment of individual lab air flows, code
requirements and fume hoods requiring replacement is required.
