Work will be around an occupied healthcare facility in operation 24 hours a day as shown in Figure 1 and 2.

Figure 1: Area of work

Figure 2

Scope:

1. Construct approximately 5.5 yards of sidewalk to connect to the existing sidewalk running parallel to the east side of the dialysis building, 113A. The sidewalk parallel width shall match the width of the existing parallel sidewalk. The perpendicular section shall run along the masonry wall and center on the double doors. The slope of this sidewalk shall meet all ADA, and VA Barrier free requirements.

2. Conduct all required construction and quality assurance inspections.

All Contractors’ personnel, including subcontractors, shall be required to undergo a COVID-19 Screening. Each person is required to complete the Coronavirus Screening upon entering the facility and worksite thereof and/or while on the hospital campus.

(a) Contractor shall at a minimum but not limited to:

a. Lay out and mark all areas of replacement.

b. Install forms as necessary to retain and support concrete.

c. Roll existing sub grade materials to achieve maximum density.

d. Install full depth entrained concrete to match existing adjacent slabs.

e. Install expansion joint material structures. Install crack control joints where applicable. Concrete surface should be broom with a fine brush in a traverse direction to ensure traction.

f. Install ADA approved detectable warning strips on all required ramps.

g. Apply curing compound and or provide protection against elements necessary to promote curing of new installation.

h. Remove forms and backfill adjacent disturbed areas using onsite materials.

Dispose of all debris off-site.

(b) Specific requirements:

a. Work includes preparation of the site for the sidewalk. Contractor shall form up and pour the new 4000 psi reinforced concrete ASTM C150/C150M Type I or II with 6 x 6 W2.9 – W2.9 wire mesh in addition to adding fiber mesh to the mix and provide a broom finished surface that matches the texture of the existing sidewalk area and proper slope to match the adjacent elevations.

b. Surrounding sections where the concrete is raised at joints must be milled to provide a smooth and even contour to prevent potential tripping hazards.

c. Contractor shall remove any existing in-place sealant. Sealant shall be cut loose from each joint face independently using a vertical cutting-edge tool.

Alternatively, a power-driven concrete saw with diamond or abrasive blade may be used. After cutting the existing sealant free from both joint faces, the sealant shall be removed to the depth required to accommodate any separating and/or depth blocking medium used, and to provide the specified depth for the new sealant material to be installed. The product shall be clean, free of scale or foreign matter, oil or moisture and shall be non-absorbing.

d. On completion of work of this section and after removal of all debris, leave site in clean condition satisfactory to Contracting Officer’s Representative. Clean-up shall include off the Medical Center disposal of all items and materials not required to remain property of the Government as well as all debris and rubbish resulting from demolition operations.

(c) Execution:

a. Subgrade Preparation: Subgrade preparation for sidewalk shall be made to the required depth and to a width that will permit the installation and bracing of the forms. The subgrade shall be shaped and compacted to a firm, even surface in reasonably close conformity with the grade and section on the Plans. All soft and yielding material shall be removed and replaced with acceptable material, which shall then be compacted as directed. The prepared subgrade shall then be brought to true line and grade with a minimum depth of four inches (4") of mineral aggregate base, unless specified otherwise on the drawings.

b. Joints – Joints to be placed as per figure 3.

Figure 3

c. Mixing and Placing Concrete: Concrete shall be mixed in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications. Immediately before placing the concrete, the subgrade shall be thoroughly wetted, and the forms given a coating of light oil.

Where removed and used again, the forms shall be thoroughly cleaned and oiled each time before using.

d. Finishing: The concrete shall be struck-off with a transverse template resting upon the side forms. After the concrete has been struck-off to the required cross-section, it shall be finished with floats, trowels, and straightedges until the surface requirements have been obtained.

e. When the surface of the concrete is free from water and just before the concrete obtains its initial set, it shall be gone over and finished with a float and swept lightly with a broom in order to produce a sandy texture. The longitudinal surface variations shall be not more than one-fourth inch (1/4") under a twelve-foot (12') straightedge, nor more than one-eighth inch (1/8") on a five-foot (5') transverse section. The surface of the concrete shall always be so finished as to drain completely. The edges of the sidewalks and median pavement shall be carefully finished and rounded with an edging tool having a radius of one-half inch (1/2").

f. The surface of sidewalks shall be divided into blocks by use of a grooving tool.

Grooves shall be so placed as to cause expansion joints to be placed at a groove line. The grooves shall be spaced approximately five feet (5') apart, and the blocks shall be rectangular unless otherwise ordered by the Engineer. The grooves shall be cut to a depth of not less than one-half inch (1/2") and not more than one inch (1"). The edges of the grooves shall be edged with an edging tool having a radius of one-fourth inch

(1/4"). Grooves shall be placed in median pavement in line with corresponding joints in adjoining construction or as directed by the COR.

g. The edges of the concrete at expansion joints shall be rounded with an edging tool having a radius of one-fourth inch (1/4"). All marks caused by the edging shall be removed with a wetted brush or float. The top and ends of expansion joint material shall be cleaned of all concrete, and the expansion joint material shall be so trimmed as to be slightly below the surface of the concrete.

(d) Protection and Curing

a. Protect exposed surfaces of concrete from premature drying, wash by rain or running water, wind, mechanical damage, and excessive hot or cold temperatures.

b. Curing Methods: Cure concrete with curing compound using wet method with sheets.

c. Formed Concrete Curing: Wet the tops and exposed portions of formed concrete and keep moist until forms are removed.

d. If forms are removed before 14 days after concrete is cast, install sheet curing materials as specified above.

e. Concrete Flatwork Curing: Install sheet materials according to the manufacturer's instructions. When manufacturer's instructions deviate from specifications, submit proposed resolution for Contracting Officer's Representative consideration.

f. The Contractor shall preserve and protect all structures, equipment, and vegetation (such as trees, shrubs, and grass) on or adjacent to the work site, which is not to be removed and which does not unreasonably interfere with the work required under this contract. The Contractor shall only remove trees when specifically authorized to do so and shall avoid damaging vegetation that will remain in place. If any limbs or branches of trees are broken during contract performance, or by the careless operation of equipment, or by workmen, the Contractor shall trim those limbs or branches with a clean cut and paint the cut with a tree-pruning compound as directed by the Contracting Officer.

g. The Contractor shall protect from damage all existing improvements and utilities at or near the work site and on adjacent property of a third party, the locations of which are made known to or should be known by the Contractor. The Contractor shall repair any damage to those facilities, including those that are the property of a third party, resulting from failure to comply with the requirements of this contract or failure to exercise reasonable care in performing the work. If the Contractor fails or refuses to repair the damage promptly, the Contracting Officer may have the necessary work performed and charge the cost to the Contractor.

(e) Period of Performance: Contractor shall commence work under this contract promptly after Notice to Proceed (NTP), execute the work diligently, and achieve final completion and acceptance including final cleanup of the premises within 1 (1) week.

(f) Construction Safety Requirements: See attached Hampton Construction Safety Handbook
