About this file
This document is an Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) memo for the 9th Floor Mental Health Project at the Wilkes-Barre VA Medical Center, dated July 9, 2024. The memo outlines specific requirements for construction work, including ICRA barrier wall specifications, containment measures, and work protocols. Key technical details include constructing a floor-to-underdeck barrier wall using 2x4 metal studs and 5/8 drywall, installing 6 mil plastic sheeting on stairwell exits and elevator doors, mounting an electric negative air monitor, and using HEPA negative air units vented outside.
The document emphasizes strict work procedures for the 8th floor, mandating that all furniture and supplies be moved, covered, and returned to original locations after daily work completion. An ICRA permit is required, with the VA retaining the right to modify the permit for patient safety. The memo is signed by Michael Somoga, Project Engineer and Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), and provides detailed instructions for maintaining a clean and safe construction environment during the mental health renovation project.
