Using an alternative vendor would result in additional cost and time delays as not only are steam sterilizers specific to the proposed control systems, but surrounding areas will be impacted by the varying operating needs of biosafety equipment produced by other vendors. Redesign and evaluations would need to be acted on and not limited to the following aspects: mechanical, electrical, fire protection codes, biosafety, human life safety, animal welfare and verification the equipment meets the needs of RML campus scientific requirements.
