ES-1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

ES-1.1 Project Overview

This report represents the narrative portion of the

Construction Document (CD) deliverable for VA Project

No 691-20-150 Upgrade Boiler Plant by Replacement

(Seismic and Physical Security Compliance) on the South

Campus of the VA West Los Angeles.

The focus of this report encompasses the site location, building design, specifications and related engineering system design. This phase builds on the Design

Development (DD) submittal and incorporates related

DrChecks comments.

The Boiler Plant is a component of the phased development of the South Campus Medical Center that conforms to the organization and land-use of the GLA VA

Campus Draft Master Plan of January 2016. The general site location is based on the South Campus Site Plan illustrated in Figure 1.

Fig. 1 – South Campus Phased Development Plan

Project Goals and Objectives

A description of the general goals and objectives can be found in Section A-1.1 of this Report.

Report Outline

The contents of this report are organized according to the

‘CD’ phase requirements of VA Document PG18-15, Volume B, issued March 1, 2017, “A/E Submission

Requirements for VA Medical Center Major New Facilities, Additions and Renovations.”

Project design intent for referenced disciplines ranging from General, Civil, Architectural, Structural, MEPT, Security, etc. (see Table of Contents) are developed in support of the Specifications and accompanying Working

Drawings. Supporting documentation in the form of an

Appendix are provided under separate cover. An updated

Cost Estimate will follow shortly after the submittal to allow all changes to be reviewed and impacts to the estimate to be incorporated.

Project Scope

An approximately 11,957 BGSF two-story facility, including boilers, supporting mechanical equipment, plant operations room, storage, and administrative offices serving the Boiler demands for the South and North campuses.

To the west of the structure is an adjoining service yard with low CMU enclosure and ornamental metal fence.

This provides protected access to four (4) fuel oil tanks enclosed in concrete vaults located below the yard, and incidental parking for service vehicles.

Site Work

Underground services include a utility tunnel stub-out, to allow a future connection to the future Critical Care

Center (CCC) and Central Utility Plant (CUP), utility connections linking the facility to the existing CUP (B501), underground steam and condensate piping to B500, replacement of main condensate piping within B500 and

ES-2 Upgrade Boiler Plant by Replacement (Seismic and Physical Security Compliance) up to the existing Boiler (B295), and new condensate pump equipment within B295. The site utility scope also includes a temporary transformer for the Boiler plant located northeast of Fisher House with associated electrical feeds, telecommunication, and plumbing connection to the new boiler plant as well as a gas meter enclosure and associated underground piping and trenching. Other site scope associated with this project includes an industrial water storage tank, fire water storage tank, and fuel oil storage tanks.

Summary and Conclusions

Based on an analysis of multiple alternatives and the input of various stakeholders and design reviews that involved GLA users, the VA Central Facility Management team, and all project design consultants, this report concludes:

The Program for Design was developed during the “Basis of Design” report in 2019 in collaboration with the GLA users and CFM. There is no formal SEPS program for a

Boiler plant building. and The Program as stated including anticipated steam load studies, efficiently serves and promotes the mission of the Boiler Plant.

The location of the new Boiler Plant takes advantage of the existing service yard to the Kitchen for servicing the boilers and for the long-term development of the South

Campus Medical Center.

The building layout is an efficient and economical organization of the functions, processes and workflow of the Boiler Plant program.

At two stories, the building provides the smallest footprint on the site allowing for more potential area for future site development. Level 2 is provided at the same elevation as Level 2 for the future CUP which allows for convenient access between the buildings.

The massing of the proposed design is consistent with the design goal to consolidate the service functions of the medical campus into a single compound that defines the east perimeter of the campus and acts as a buffer between I-405 and the hospital.

Although the facility is a support building, with no direct interface with patients, the design represents an efficient, welcoming and sustainable environment for staff in service of the greater mission of the medical campus. It also is in support of the VA Core Values of Integrity, Commitment, Advocacy, Respect and Excellence.

The program and redundancy requirements, along with an extensive discussion of alternatives with campus and central office officials established that fuel oil tanks would be selected as secondary fuel for the boilers.

Mechanical Summary

Following is a summary of Mechancial design conclusions reached, and are described in more detail in the mechanical section of this report:

VA West Los Angeles Medical Campus Boiler Demand:

The future total steam plant load is approximately 62,000 lbs/hr. At initial start-up of the plant, the steam loads will only consist of the Regional Kitchen with a load of 5,039 lbs/hr, Buildings 500/304 with a steam load of 10,0080 lbs/hr, and the North Campus with a load of 21,878 lbs/hr.

Boiler Type: Firetube boilers

Boiler Plant Configuration: 4 – 600 boiler horsepower

Firetube Boilers which provide N+1 redundancy.

Back-up Fuel: 2 – 25,000 gallon and 2 - 30,000 gallon steel fuel oil tanks located in an underground concrete vault.

G-1.2 Quality Control Plan

LEO A DALY believes that quality management is a dynamic process that must be responsive to all stakeholders’ needs and is successful when all contributors take ownership for quality. Our employees are given a comprehensive, clear understanding of their role and responsibilities within each project because we recognize that quality management is an ongoing process starting at project inception and continuing through project completion. We do not rely solely on a single quality control step in the design process.

All work performed by the LEO A DALY team will be in accordance with a quality assurance/ quality control

(QA/QC) plan, which assures that all designs, calculations, studies, drawings, specifications, and construction coordination services required by the contract are performed and provided in accordance with the highest professional standards.

The plan is based on these key tenets:

• Use predetermined procedures and systems

• Emphasis on staffing continuity from start to finish

• Require peer review

• Emphasis on communication

Quality assurance is dramatically impacted by the staff who are assigned to the project, which makes it crucial to have adequate and appropriate staffing for each phase of the project to ensure the right quantity and mix of skills are available. The project design schedule is a major influence in determining the staffing level.

The basic QA/QC Plan elements are as follows:

• Project Plan and Kick-Off Meeting. At a project kick-off meeting, a detailed review of the scope and schedule is conducted. The QA/QC Director, Project

Manager, Project Architect, VA CFM, VAWLA and other key design and stakeholder team members must be present. Decisions made at this meeting set design direction, establish milestones, QA/QC methodologies/requirements and production standards. The purpose of this initial session is to assure consensus and collaborative buy-in of project procedures and metrics among team members.

• A web based, project specific, forum is created for task item tracking, posting of essential documents like meeting minutes and project schedules, file sharing of progress drawings, so that all team members have accessible the most current information essential to the progress of the progress. The forum is made available to all the key team members including consultants, Client representatives, and internal staff.

• Coordination of Systems begins at the kick-off meeting and is continuous during the entire design process. Verification of this coordination is formalized in weekly design team meetings to discuss systems interrelations. Decisions and developments are documented in the meeting minutes, which are made immediately available to all the project team members on the project forum.

• Monitoring Document Production. The Project

Manager will direct the design team during document production and hold responsibility for adherence to predetermined production standards.

This team controls daily progress. On a bi-weekly basis, the progress of each sheet and the interface of related building systems are monitored.

• Interdisciplinary Coordination Checks are a detailed review by the design team to identify interferences, conflicts and duplications or inconsistencies in the design or specifications. LEO A DALY utilizes standard checklists / VA checklist to facilitate this coordination. Building Information Modeling (BIM) and clash detection software also help identify conflicts and interferences. Interdisciplinary coordination meetings are conducted regularly.

Meeting minutes are distributed to all Design and

QC team members. Verifications of this check at each review milestone (SD, DD and CD) is recorded by 3rd party acknowledgment in the project forum.

• Independent Review Checks. An independent review is conducted prior to the final 100% check.

This critical check of each discipline’s work utilizes professionals, from other LEO A DALY offices who are unfamiliar with the specific project, to ensure that the documents are understandable, complete and technically correct. The independent group, selected by the Project Manager, checks for correctness only, not an alternative solution. This independent “Peer” group review ensures that each department has reviewed its drawings/specifications using LEO A DALY checklists and controls, and VA checklist. The comments of the QA team and the checked documents are then reviewed by the Project

Manager and forwarded to the design team for incorporation.

• Final Review. This review is the responsibility of the

Project Manager and team discipline heads. It ensures that drawings and specifications are

G-4 Upgrade Boiler Plant by Replacement (Seismic and Physical Security Compliance) complete and deliverable. It also verifies that all intermediate checks have been made and that all comments have been addressed. Drawings are checked for signatures, dates, and are properly stamped with appropriate seals.

G-1.3 Certification of Independent Technical and

Quality Assurance Review

Refer to Appendix, section XG-1.2, for all discipline certificates.

G-1.4 Project Management Plan (PMP)

The LEO A DALY team conducted as part of the Enhanced

Study phase, for the purpose of this Basis of Design report, a thorough review of the existing site conditions, reviewed as-built utility survey information, conducted a site walk, reviewed existing conditions, including not limited to site access, and took a look at any code issues or considerations that may apply at the site that may affect the design and or budget. As part of the Enhanced Study phase, three design options were provided for consideration that meet the program and user requirements. The resulting selected scheme was further developed and provided in this report as the Basis of Design for the Boiler Plant building.

The LEO A DALY team conducted a Project Kick-off meeting with all project team members, VAWLA CFM and Central

Plant facility leaders. VAWLA CFM was asked to give a project overview and describe key drivers in decision making that lead to the formation of the program, an overview of the equipment desired in the Boiler Plant and building siting. The agenda this meeting consisted of:

• Master schedule for the Enhanced Study package

• Budget information

• Building gross square foot requirements

• Communication protocols and points of contact between all parties

• Information sharing tools o Newforma Information Exchange o Cloud based BIM Model access o Weekly team meetings and meeting minutes o Digital QA/QC comment tracking

After the kick-off meeting with the project team two additional meetings were conducted to review the progress of the three design options being prepared and obtain feedback from the stakeholders. It was imperative that a high level of coordination with LEO A DALY and its consultants occur on enhanced study phase of this project that directly interface with the VA Team. Additionally, we diligently tracked closure of open items to keep the design information and efforts concurrently progressing and coordinated as the Basis of Design package moved forward.

Careful consideration was made to the design, siting and exterior finish treatments of the Boiler Plant in each of the proposed designs to seamlessly integrate into the overall south campus master plan.

The LEO A DALY team will continue to be involved in the progress of the Boiler Plant design in an advisory role with the VAWLA CFM team to provide input to the design architect as the project progresses through the schematic design, design development, construction document and construction administration phases. LEO A DALY will ensure continuous interface coordination between facility systems and site utilities under development for the other buildings in the South Campus Masterplan. The Boiler

Plant connection to the future walkable utility tunnel between the Essential Care Tower and the CUP is a critical item to be carefully coordinated with the architectural design team for the Boiler Plant to ensure a seamless routing for the utilities being run between the buildings.

• The new Boiler Plant will provide service to the north and south campus so Boilear pipe connections to the existing CUP in B501, the Kitchen, and the reverse flow to the north campus will be coordinated and addressed in future coordination meetings with VAWLA CFM team and Central Plant facility leaders.

G-1.5 Cost Estimation Integration Plan

The cost estimator has been an integral part of our team and involved in design process from the very beginning.

Cumming has been informed about the project progress and provide input when design decisions could be supported by cost information and options be evaluated in terms of feasibility and life cycle cost.

In addition there have been cost reconciliation meetings when design had to be informed about cost implications of options considered. Examples of cost input from Cumming include:

• Structural system options: Cost analysis comparing different framing and foundation systems

• Exterior envelope design: Provided unit cost and input on exterior wall materials and configuration.

BUILDING 603 | BOILER PLANT | CD | JULY 7, 2023 G-5

• Phasing and site utilities: Review of construction sequencing and utility relocation.

• Site adjacencies: Consideration of impacts to the

Kitchen loading activity for position of construction fence and project site for the Boiler Plant.

• Fuel oil tank options: Provided ROM on underground concrete vault option.

• Progress cost estimates: Provided updated cost estimates periodically as progress drawings were posted.

• Schedule impact and Escalation: Provided input on overall project sequencing and long-range planning.

G-1.6 RISK MITIGATION PLAN

Design Phase Risks

Design phase risks for the Boiler Plant are enumerated in the table below. The most significant of these unmitigated risks typically result in additional scope, costly rework, and/or construction delays. Decisions are pending to proceed further with design. Indecision could potentially delay key deliverables and result in possible redesign of critical items.

We recommend continued disciplined scope management, supported by an ongoing cost and schedule interface. We recommend locking in the program and clarifying all open critical issues during Schematic Design 2. Subsequent changes should only be allowed if required to correct significant coordination issues or prove to be a wise business case investment. Further, we advise requiring a very robust contractor-driven coordination process as early as the procurement strategy will allow.

Figure 1 – Design Phase Risks

Procurement Phase Risks

The Boiler Plant Procurement phase risks, identified below, occur prior to the Notice(s) to Proceed. These risks relate to overall funding limitations, the contractor procurement strategy, and the utilization of labor and equipment.

Due to the inherent monetary volatility of the construction sector (particularly in commodities spot markets and labor in urban areas), we recommend funding as much as possible in large tranches. We also advise addressing labor policies and site logistics during Design Development. This will ensure bidding documents demonstrate a well-thought out scheme and therefore limit inflated bids due to the perception of added risk.

Figure 2 – Procurement Phase Risks

Construction Phase Risks

The Boiler Plant Construction Risks are identified in the table below. These various construction risks may impact cost, schedule, and operations. These identified risks include unforeseen conditions, logistics, move management, coordination between major trades, and coordination between sequence / phase. There also may be issues / risks involving availability of qualified labor, which is constrained by concurrent projects in and around the greater Los Angeles area.

Activation Phase Risks

The Activation Phase risks for the Boiler Plant may seem innocuous now, but scope clarity and coordination are necessary early in the project to avoid costly scope gaps typically discovered during construction. Or worse, as the project nears operational transition.

We recommend the development of a highly-detailed responsibility matrix well before the start of Construction
