Kobin Caddick vote on funds for fume hood exhaust fan Fume hood in Science needs a contractor to install a properly sized exhaust fan The Science Lab area has a fume hood that was donated several hears ago, and we now have a quote from a contractor to finish the installation for $12,517.00 This price assumes we can use the existing roof penetration and 10" epoxy-coated galvanized steel ducting. Discussion items:
  1. There's an AC unit located 12 feet from the roof penetration, so we need to find out if this unit exchanges fresh air from above the roof where it can potentially pull in fumes from the hood exhaust.
  2. We need to loop in the City of Carrollton building inspections department because local code may not let us put on a 10' exhaust stack without a matching 10' high fence around the roof
  3. We still need another contractor to do any roof work or flashing around the fan unit, and an electrician to install the 120 volt / 20 amp disconnect at the roof mounted blower.

Notes, regulations, and code relating to the fume hood: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1dHBcvkkBdmovBu5wH-Fl1XPcg3_BCaxB?usp=sharing
