Subject: CCL/Sudo area heater maintenance this wk (10/11>15)

Hi CCL & Sudo, 

1. On Monday 10/11, CCL Lab Manager Dave A. is scheduled to carefully clean the furnace mounted overhead on CCL’s north wall, in order to reduce the potential future disturbance of excessive dust during planned furnace maintenance. Please contact David A. (cc’d) for more info or to assist.

2. Following Dave’s work on 10/11, two maintenance tasks are projected to be undertaken sometime this week. 

The exact day and time for each task is not yet known, and it is unlikely we will get more than one day’s advance notice, which will be promptly passed on to CCL / Sudo as soon as received. 

- Electrical: Relocating the space heater’s on/off switch from highish up in the BSL, to a more accessible height near the north doorway into CCL/Sudo room, where it will be replaced with a timer switch. This work is not anticipated to precipitate an excessive disturbance of dust, and should not impact electrical service to this room. However, the electrician will be working in this area, likely on a ladder, which may temporarily block access to some of the freezers et al in CCL’s NE area, for approximately <2h (barring unforeseen circumstances). 

- Furnace: 

The blower (and air filter) for the furnace in this room is due to be replaced by an HVAC professional. With the area cleaned in advance per item 1 above, it is not anticipated to involve the disturbance of excessive dust. It is not anticipated that this work will impact electrical service to CCL. The work will involve the placement of a large ladder below / adjacent to this furnace, impacting access to cabinets & storage below the furnace. 

To reduce Omni’s labor costs, I would ask CCL/Sudo members to please allow these technicians the elbow room needed to safely complete their work with a minimum of conversation, barring of course any safety concerns. Rather, if anyone has any questions about the above planned work, as always please feel free to contact me directly at any time. 

Many thanks everyone,
