SCHEDULE I

Delivery Location of Liquid Nitrogen

2. Biochemistry #2 – 433 Babcock

Furnish and install (at vendor's expense) a bulk 1350 gal. Liquid Nitrogen storage system for liquid withdrawal only, at the estimated rate of 66,000 scf/month.

For location, contact:

Danielle Tolzmann
(608) 265-2276

3. Chemistry Building - ll0l University Avenue

Furnish and install (at vendor's expense) a bulk 9200 gal. Liquid Nitrogen storage system to provide both liquid and gas withdrawal at the estimated rate of 866,000 scf/month.

Gas withdrawal system is connected to existing building distribution system. Supply pressure of gas shall be 25 PSIG.

Vendor must furnish and install at vendor’s expense 2 regulators in series to prevent surges in building system pressure.

Chemistry requires the automated defrost timer, one defrost per day, on a two-circuit evaporator coil for its 9000-gallon vessel. Pipe evaporator coils with fins have pipe on 12" centers, 3.5" space between fins.

Shall deliver in single axle truck. Configuration of Chemistry loading dock and driveway restricts access to liquid nitrogen vessel by semi-truck tanker.
