ATTACHMENT A4- GeneralCivilStructural Drawings.pdf

This is a set of architectural and structural drawing documents (bid documents) for the Renovate Surgical Suite Phase II project at Salem VA Medical Center.

The drawings provide comprehensive design specifications for a major surgical suite renovation including eight operating rooms (hybrid, orthopedic, and six general), pre-operative and post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) areas, and support spaces totaling approximately 22,920 departmental gross square feet on the first floor with additional basement-level work. The project is designated as Type I construction with a 3-hour fire rating for primary structural elements and incorporates full sprinkler protection. Life safety requirements are detailed extensively, including travel distances ranging from 82 to 200 feet, multiple smoke compartments and suites with specified barrier ratings (1-hour to 2-hour fire barriers, smoke barriers, and smoke partitions), and two required exits for spaces exceeding 2,500 square feet. Infection control risk mitigation matrices classify work areas into Risk Groups 1-4 and Classes I-IV, with corresponding dust control and contamination prevention procedures ranging from minimal precautions to full negative pressure isolation with HEPA filtration for operating rooms and sensitive areas. Structural drawings detail concrete equipment pads, steel dunnage framing for mechanical equipment, reinforced concrete slabs with drop panels, existing column encasement, and connection details for equipment support. Civil work includes site demolition, erosion control measures, underground fuel tank replacement (two 8,000-gallon tanks), utility coordination (water, sanitary sewer, electrical, communications), temporary and permanent seeding for site stabilization, and stormwater management. The bid documents specify compliance with 2021 International Building Code, NFPA standards (particularly NFPA 101 Life Safety Code and NFPA 99 Healthcare Facilities Code), VA Design Manuals, ACI 318 concrete requirements, and AISC steel construction standards. General structural notes require shop drawings approval, third-party special inspections for concrete and steel work, seismic design per VA requirements, and coordination between trades for MEP equipment placement and clearances.
