Dolores Secondary School in Dolores, CO, is requesting proposals for the design and installation of a high-altitude exterior baghouse dust collection system to enhance air quality and safety in our 3,100 sq/ft woodshop, which serves approximately 100 students daily. This system must provide high-capacity dust collection with efficient filtration, utilizing a nozzle-based cleaning mechanism to extend filter life and ensure long-term performance. The design should allow for future expansion, accommodating additional machines and shop square footage as needed. The system will be expected to meet industry standards for safety, including explosion venting, dust level monitoring, and compliance with NFPA guidelines. It should include robust air handling capabilities, VFD fan motor speed control, automated waste discharge into a designated dumpster, sound attenuation features, and provisions for air recirculation and compressed air integration. Installation should cover all necessary ductwork, oil injected screw compressor, compressed air piping, and rigid modular connections to current woodshop machinery and specified air tool locations.
