About this file
The document is a Schedule of Special Inspections for the Chilled Water System Upgrades project at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center in Houston, Texas. This comprehensive document details the required special inspections across multiple construction disciplines, including structural (steel, concrete, masonry, wood), geotechnical, fire protection, architectural, and mechanical/electrical systems. The inspection requirements are based on the 2018 International Building Code (IBC) and various industry standards, with inspection types categorized as "Observe," "Perform," "Continuous," and "Document" to ensure compliance with construction and safety regulations.
The inspections cover critical aspects of construction such as welding procedures, material verification, anchorage, foundation preparation, fire-resistant materials, seismic considerations, and mechanical/electrical system installations. Each section provides specific tasks, inspection types, and detailed descriptions of what needs to be verified during different stages of construction. The document is part of the solicitation for a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) set-aside contract valued between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000, with a 365-calendar day performance period for repairing and replacing the main chilled water distribution system at the VA medical center.

DESIGNER NOTES (delete this box after reviewing):
1. This schedule contains minimum requirements. Do not delete applicable inspection tasks unless notes in blue indicate it is acceptable to do so.
2. Blue text = designers notes. The designer must review and edit all blue text in this schedule prior to inserting this schedule into the special inspections spec (UFGS 01 45 35).
3. Check section boxes with ANY inspection tasks applicable to your project. You may choose to delete unchecked sections or leave them in the schedule unchecked.
4. Individual rows/tasks that that are not applicable to the project may be left in the section, as the inspector can determine whether they occur/apply (e.g. metal trusses in the light gauge framing section for example).
5. Design discipline sections are color coded for easier reference by designers. This schedule does NOT need to be printed in color.
6. When finished editing, delete this note box and save this schedule as a PDF and insert into the project specifications (special inspections section).
