General Questions

1. During the walk through we noticed that none of the ductwork was wrapped and sealed.

The standard for not only the hospitals but the sheet metal unions is to wrap the ends on every piece of ductwork to prevent dust and debris from contaminating ductwork.

a. Will ductwork need to be cleaned and inspected prior to installation. Yes. The contractor may choose, in lieu of owner furnished ductwork, to supply new wrapped and sealed ductwork as part of their bid. Regardless, the contractor must account for, and the installation of, all required ductwork in their bid whether it is new wrapped and sealed, or owner furnished and cleaned per VA approved standards. All installed ductwork, whether owner furnished or contractor furnished, shall be installed to meet the intent of the design. If the installed ductwork does not meet the design intent, VA inspections, final TAB report, or other failures to perform, the contractor shall repair and replace at no additional cost to the government. A pre-bid meeting on site was performed to allow all interested contractors to inspect existing conditions of the site and any owner furnished equipment.

b. If the ductwork will need to be cleaned, what is the requirement for cleaning it.

The duct work is required to be visibly clean without any dust or smear residue present.

i. All ductwork will be inspected for compliance by one of or all of the following VA personnel.

1. COR

2. Construction Control Inspector

3. HVAC Shop Supervisor

4. HVAC Shop personnel

5. Maintenance & Operations Foreman

6. Infection Prevention Personnel

ii. The Contractors shall clean all the ductwork within their approved ICRA barrier construction footprint.

iii. Ductwork will be cleaned with alcohol and clean rags.

iv. Whitin 2 hours of the cleaning process, VA personnel will inspect the ductwork then it is to be immediately wrapped.

v. If the ductwork fails the inspection, it shall be recleaned and a new VA inspection will be set.

vi. The contractor shall show the cleaning process on their construction schedule and shall set up VA approved meeting times for the VA to inspect.

vii. Type of alcohol used to clean shall be approved by the A/E and the VA via a shop drawing submittal.

viii. Cleaning ductwork must happen within the stated construction period of performance. No time extensions or adjustments will be granted based on time needed to clean ductwork per the VA standards.

2. Are there shop drawings showing where the stored ductwork is to be installed. No, Refer to construction drawings.

3. Was the fabricated ductwork confirmed to fit in the locations where it was made to be installed. No.
