About this file

This is a comprehensive set of architectural and engineering design documents for the renovation of the 12th Floor West (12W) Cardiac Stress Lab at the VA Manhattan Medical Center, located at 423 East 23rd Street, New York, NY 10010. The project scope encompasses approximately 717 square feet of renovation work classified as Type II (222) construction with a minimum fire rating of 2 hours for all load-bearing structural elements.

The design documents establish detailed requirements across multiple disciplines including architectural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, fire protection, and technology systems. Key architectural elements include demolition of existing interior partitions, creation of new spaces (Ecocardiograph Room, Cardiac Stress Testing Treadmill Room, Hot Lab, Changing Area, and New Office), and installation of new finishes including welded sheet base flooring with stainless steel trim, painted gypsum board walls, and new suspended ceiling systems. Mechanical work includes removal and installation of HVAC equipment with new ductwork, supply/return air diffusers, and reheat coils sized to support the redesigned spaces with airflow ranging from 100-600 CFM across various rooms. Plumbing requirements include installation of new lavatories, medical gas outlets (vacuum, oxygen, medical air), and sanitary drainage systems. The electrical design specifies new lighting fixtures with occupancy sensors, dedicated receptacles, and integration with existing critical branch panels ERP-12 W1 and ERP-12 W2. Fire protection calls for new sprinkler heads in all renovated areas complying with NFPA 13, and fire alarm integration with the existing 12th floor panel. Technology systems include new data/voice outlets, nurse call devices integrated with the existing HillRom system, and CAT6A cabling routed to existing data rooms. The project is phased in three distinct phases to minimize disruption to ongoing operations, with construction activities restricted to weekends and evenings (after 5:00 PM Thursday through Sunday morning), and all work must comply with strict infection control protocols including dust containment, negative air pressure requirements, and HVAC isolation procedures.

THE PURPOSE OF INFECTION CONTROL PROCEDURES IS TO MINIMIZE THE POTENTIAL FOR THE SPREAD OF INFECTIONS DUE TO DEGRADED AIR QUALITY, ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION, OR CONTAMINATION OF WATER.

IT IS THE POLICY OF THIS MEDICAL CENTER THAT A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH BASED ON ASSESSMENT AND PLANNING WILL EFFECTIVELY MANAGE THE ISSUE OF TRANSMISSION OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES AND THE AGGRAVATION OF ALLERGIES. THE OVERALL APPROACH RELIES ON PRE-CONSTRUCTION ASSESSMENT, MANAGEMENT OF HVAC SYSTEMS, AND AGGRESSIVE USE OF A VARIETY OF BARRIERS. CONTRACTOR IS TO WORK CLOSELY WITH THE VA FACILITY MANAGEMENT SERVICE CENTER, THE INFECTION CONTROL PROGRAM STAFF AND THE SAFETY AND OCCUPATION HEALTH MANAGER TO HAVE IN PLACE A MONITORING PROGRAM TO ASSURE RIGOROUS IMPLEMENTATION OF THE REQUIRED MEASURES, REFER TO PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS.

THE CONTRACTOR SHALL VERIFY ALL EXISTING CONDITIONS IN THE FIELD AND COORDINATE ALL INFECTION CONTROL REQUIREMENTS WITH THE DEMOLITION AND NEW CONSTRUCTION. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL REPORT ALL DISCOVERIES TO THE OWNERS' REPRESENTATIVE FOR RESOLUTION PRIOR TO BEGINNING.

CONTRACTOR TO INSTALL BARRIERS AND OTHER MEASURES. CONSTRUCTION BARRIER DOOR(S) MUST BE SELF-CLOSING. PROVIDE DUST CONTROL AND CONTAINMENT STICKY MATS ON ALL ACCESS DOORS INTO CONSTRUCTION AREA. ANTE-ROOM REQUIRED AT CONSTRUCTION ENTRY. PROVIDE MANOMETER MONITORS

FOR ALL CONSTRUCTION BARRIERS.

CONTRACTOR TO DISPOSE OF MATERIALS BEFORE 8:00 AND OR AFTER 4:00 PM UNLESS ARRANGED WITH THE VA TO DISPOSE OF DURING NORMAL HOURS. USE ROUTE AGREED UPON BY ICRA TEAM AND COR FOR TRANSPORT OF TRANSPORT CONTAINERS THROUGH THE FACILITY. CONTRACTORS CAN ONLY DEVIATE TO NORMAL HOURS WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE INFECTION CONTROL NURSE AND COR DUE TO PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES THAT MAY OBSTRUCT PROGRESS. A CLEAR PLAN WILL HAVE TO BE SUBMITTED AND

PRECAUTIONARY INFECTION CONTROL MEASURES IMPLEMENTED.

CONTRACTOR TO COVER CARTS AND WEAR BOOTIES WHEN DISPOSING MATERIALS.

CONTRACTOR TO CHANGE MATS MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY AS NEEDED AND MOP FLOORS BEHIND THEM

MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY.

CONTRACTOR TO MAINTAIN CONTINUOUS NEGATIVE AIR PRESSURE WITHIN THE WORK SITE UTILIZING WINDOW EXHAUST FANS STRATEGICALLY LOCATED OR PROVIDED NEGATIVE PRESSURE AIR HEPA UNITS AND EXHAUST TO EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING. CONTRACTOR TO INCLUDE MONITORING MANOMETER AT

ANTEROOM SO THE NEGATIVE PRESSURE CAN BE INSPECTED.

Appendix A: Alternative To Outdoor Exhaust Requirements

This Appendix provides an equivalent ICRA control measure to requirements detailed in this VHA ICRA template (Table 5 Level III, item 5) that would allow interior construction space exhaust.

Interior Construction Space Exhaust:

If the facility is not able to exhaust to the building exterior , the Healthcare Environment and Facilities program office has identified an alternate industry-recognized standard interior exhaust procedure that is accepted as providing an equivalent level of infection prevention and control (IPC), and safety. The alternate interior exhaust procedure is implemented by completing the following:

If exhaust is directed indoors, then the system must be HEPA filtered. Prior to start of work, including assembly of the ICRA barriers, initial baseline air sampling measurements for particulate levels must be taken in the planned area of discharge. Once containment is erected and completed, HEPA filtration must then be verified by particulate measurement, using a particle counter with multi-channel capabilities to measure down to 0.3 microns, to confirm that the discharge of the HEPA unit does not exceed the baseline particulate count of the area to which the exhaust is directed. Verification must continue at least three times per day (once every 8 hours), 7 days per week, during the use of the negative air machine and HEPA filter. Any exceedance must trigger a work stoppage and an immediate response and resolution . All particulate measurements, including the baseline measurement, must be documented and retrievable.

To accommodate the sampling, the negative air pressure machine must be fitted with a 2 ft section of ridged ductwork at the discharge. The sample port for monitoring must be in the ridged ductwork section.

Vapor generating processes must be assessed and appropriate filtration must be installed to mitigate transmission to the facility.

Engineering must do a complete flow and pressure analysis and document the area to which the air is being discharged to ensure the flow and pressure relationships in that area are not being adversely impacted by the additional flow. Ideally, this is done as part of the construction package to ensure the design is implementable and no additional HVAC changes are required to accommodate the exhaust from the negative air equipment.

Install device on exterior of work containment to continually monitor negative pressurization. To ensure proper pressure is continuously maintained, the device(s) shall have a visual pressure indicator, data collection and alarm.

Exhaust must be directed to Low Risk areas as defined in Table 3 in this VHA ICRA template. Ideally this discharge must be located so as not to impinge on high traffic areas or create a nuisance with noise or excessive airflow.

NOTE: Exhaust into shared or recirculating HVAC systems, or other shared exhaust systems (e.g., bathroom exhaust) is not acceptable.
