Install Isolation Valves on Domestic

Water System, B1 667-25-190 I. Scope of Work Overton Brooks VAMC has a requirement to install additional water isolation valves on the domestic water system in the main hospital. This work is necessary to allow isolation of individual water risers, reducing the need for multiple facility-wide water outages. The project will enhance maintainability, minimize operational impact, and reduce disruptions to patient care.

The contractor shall provide all labor, materials, tools, equipment, licenses, permits, and services necessary for project completion. All asbestos abatement must comply with applicable state and federal regulations, VA Technical Specifications, and include air monitoring by a third party. See attachment “2021 3-year Asbestos Survey” for the latest asbestos report of building 1.

· Install isolation valves at designated locations.

· Reinsulate all abated piping (40 linear feet).

· Replace and install piping where indicated

· Core drill as needed

· Provide wall opening and access panel where indicated

· Cleanup and provide supervision.
