McClellan Veterans Memorial Hospital, 4300 West 7th Street, Little Rock, AR 72205. This equipment is critical to elevator service and old equipment has already caused many elevator service interruptions, directly impacting patient care. A/C equipment serving the elevator penthouse at the Little Rock campus has numerous leaks & mechanical problems which are uneconomical to repair and require replacement. The equipment needs to be “Trane” in order to adapt to existing control scheme and duct work. Using another brand of equipment would require alteration of both controls and duct work resulting in doubling of the cost of change out.
