Scope of Work 516-19-104 Renovate Station Restrooms

Goals and Needs:

This project includes the renovation of a series of restrooms on the Bay Pines VAMC campus per the provided design documents and specifications.

Site Conditions:

The buildings where the included restrooms are located will be occupied during performance of the work. Construction work must be coordinated not to interfere with patient activities occurring adjacent, above and below the project areas.

In areas where the exterior wall of the rooms are to be renovated, a one-hour fire barrier from deck to deck is required around the project area and is to be constructed with drywall on both sides of metal studs. Doors in the fire barrier will be rated ¾ hour doors and the construction area will be negative to the adjacent space. All specifications and regulations of the VA Safety & Emergency Management Service are to be adhered to at all times on site.

Infection control procedures will follow the VA Infection Control Risk Assessment Matrix of Precautions for Construction and Renovation, including but not limited to the following:

1. Remove or Isolate HVAC system in area where work is being done to prevent contamination of duct system.

2. Complete all critical barriers i.e. sheetrock, plywood, plastic, to seal area from non-work area or implement control cube method (cart with plastic covering and sealed connection to work site with HEPA vacuum for vacuuming prior to exit) before construction begins.

3. Maintain negative air pressure within work site utilizing HEPA equipped air filtration units.

4. Contain construction waste before transport in tightly covered containers.

5. Cover transport receptacles or carts. Tape covering unless solid lid.

6. Do not remove barriers from work area until completed project is inspected by the owner’s Safety Department and Infection Control Department and thoroughly cleaned by the owner’s Environmental Services Department.

7. Remove barrier materials carefully to minimize spreading of dirt and debris associated with construction.

8. Vacuum work area with HEPA filtered vacuums.

9. Wet mop area with disinfectant.

10. Remove isolation of HVAC system in areas where work is being performed.

11. Additional containment procedures, including the construction of an anteroom and additional PPE and HEPA vacuuming will be required during ACM abatement processes.

12. Consider all ceramic tiling to be lead-containing and follow all required procedures for removal and disposal.

Scope of Demolition:

Demolition is to be performed in accordance with the design drawings and specifications. Abatement will occur at for any materials determined to contain hazardous materials/ACM. Any materials found to be impacted by mold or moisture damage within the project area are to be removed.

The Industrial hygiene consultant (GLE) performed the ACM and lead survey for the project scope areas. Below is a summary of the results by building:

Bldg. 100 IF 107 & IF 108 – No ACM 146 & 139 – No ACM 141, 142, 144, 145 – Floor Tile & Black Mastic positive for asbestos Bldg. 102 134, 135, 110, 111 – No ACM Bldg. 24 109 & 124 – ACM within walls on the water lines Bldg. 20 108 & 109 – No ACM Bldg. 1 A222 & A223 – No ACM Bldg. 12 11A, 7, 8 – No ACM Bldg. 19 7 – Ceiling Texture – 5% Chrysotile asbestos, and Joint Compound – 5% Chrysotile asbestos (Drywall Composite = <1% ACM) Bldg. 13 Not surveyed

Construction Schedule:

All work will be completed within 210 days from Notice to Proceed.

Contractor shall be required to work with the VA COR to develop a schedule of phasing dates on which the contractor will accomplish work in each specific area of site, building or portion thereof, in order to coordinate phasing. Only one restroom in each building will be able to be closed at any given time, but it may be possible in some cases to have some restrooms closed concurrently provided that they are in different buildings, so phasing and scheduling will be vital to this project. A three-week lookahead schedule is to be maintained and updated at least weekly with the upcoming work plans for the project. A minimum of 3 weeks’ notice is required before starting work in each location to ensure that proper notices can be sent out regarding the closures.

Utility shutdowns are to be requested via email a minimum of 3 weeks prior to the planned work and requests are to include a detailed work plan, mitigation and contingency options, and lock out / tag out (LOTO) plans.
