DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT

1. OVERVIEW

A. SITE LOCATIONS

Yakama Service Unit, Main Clinic: 401 Buster RD, Toppenish, WA 98948

A sitemap is included as Attachment A.

B. PROBLEM STATEMENTS

The Yakama Health Clinic Pharmacy, Dental, Medical waiting and Laboratory emergency exits are identified as fire exits by the Yakama SU fire plan. There’s a lack of designated and clear pathways which poses a safety risk during emergencies.

C. BACKGROUND

The Yakama Indian Health Center is a single-story structure located in the city of Toppenish, Washington on the Yakama Reservation. The Health Clinic is owned and operated by the Indian Health Service to serve the Yakama Nation and other members of federally recognized tribes and Alaskan Natives. Health programs the clinic offers include: medical and dental primary care, laboratory, radiology, pharmacy and community health programs.

The Yakama Health clinics Dental, Medical waiting and laboratory emergency exits terminate to the yard which violate life safety regulations mandating clear egress routes from all emergency exits. An assessment revealed that the current exterior conditions around the exits lack proper walkways, potentially compromising the effectiveness of emergency evacuation process.

C. WORK EXECUTION REQUIREMENTS

Concrete pavement

· Clean the area of any debris, remove topsoil and level the subgrade to the recommended depth to accommodate for a 4inch gravel base.

· The gravel should be composed of crushed stone or gravel evenly spread and compacted to ensure stable surface for the concrete.

· Use a plate compactor or equivalent tool to provide 5,000-10,000 pounds of force.

· Install formwork, lumber or metal and secure with steel stakes. Ensure alignment.

· Notify building owner of any lawn sprinkler lines that require relocation or replacement if applicable.

· Apply a biodegradable form release before pouring the concrete.

· Place reinforcement materials to enhance the tensile strength of the concrete. The rebar should be Grade 60 steel, ½ inch diameter and the wire mesh should have a 6x6 inch grid size.

· The placing, spreading and compacting concrete should comply with Washington State Department of Transportation “Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge, and Municipal Construction” 5-05.3(7).
