Request for Information (RFI) Log Upgrade IT Closet Areas Construction Project:

29 January 2021 Loma Linda VA Medical Center (605)

The VA cannot provide a dedicated escort for the entirety of the work to be performed in 2NE, and as such the contractor is directed to employ additional personnel for escorting purposes.

The computer in the nurses station, the keyboard and the mouse will be VA provided as they must go onto the existing VA network and we are unable to place computers that process VA patient data on the network when provided from a source OTHER than VA National.

None of the specified work should require after-hours performance. Ordering of corridors and non-patient rooms will be left to the installers and coordinated with the local staff so as to ensure that needs are being met without impeding work. Common areas are going to require the new walls with the inset televisions, and should not be done simultaneously.

2B-700 is the staff lounge. The VA at Loma Linda does not have an established standard for sinks in non-medical areas.

The 60” lower cabinet will be VA Provided Contractor Installed.

The wall is assumed to be painted concrete at 112’ long by 12-12.5’ tall, and expected to be mostly non-porous. Basis of design for the wall mural is Coastal Creative high tack outdoor vinyl with matte lamination, and we will require the edges to be sealed. Previous estimates came in below $11K

Approximately 240 LF of courtyard surface cracks to be filled and sealed.

*Question has been received and will be answered in a later amendment to this solicitation

The VA will accept louvered vents above the televisions to vent heat up into the plenum space and drilled perforations in the plexiglass near the base to facilitate fresh air and air flow.

Speakers are contractor furnished and the VA would like a powered water resistant solution. Amplified marine speakers secured with tamperproof screws would be ideal (Pyle 6.5in 4-Channel Waterproof Amplified Marine Speaker System (PLMRKT4A) (solidsignal.com)) and would not require installation behind plexiglass.

0. Clarification: The monitor will be VA-provided and come from OIT. Dell 23” monitors are our current standard and for the purposes of buildout may be found here: Dell 23 Inch Monitor - FHD for Office: P2319H | Dell USA

0. A standard Logitech webcam sitting on top of the monitor will suffice, as the monitor will be behind security plexiglass and the camera will be unable to be tampered with.

0. Microphone basis of design (since it won’t work behind plexiglass) http://www.etsnm.com/pdfs/sm1-fe.pdf

The VA will accept louvered vents above the televisions to vent heat up into the plenum space and drilled perforations in the plexiglass near the base to facilitate fresh air and air flow.

If fully qualified, the superintendent may serve all of those roles.

For bidding purposes, please include the patch panel.

The VA will provide as-built plumbing and electrical, but cautions that they may be out of date and should be verified visually before work begins. There are no communications drawings to provide as we do not maintain communications as-builts.

HEPA carts and plastic sheeting are perfectly acceptable.

The VA at Loma Linda will perform its own weekly construction safety rounds and the PM will perform daily site walkthroughs.

This will not be a requirement.

This VA will perform this inspection in conjunction with the contractor and the installer.

*See Table A Below

*See Table B Below

Only one site visit is planned for this requirement.

viii. All copper cabling will be in conduit within the interstitial spaces from the point where it deviates from the cable tray to the point where it penetrates the gypsum. Below the interstitial space, cabling may be hung using j-hooks and will use existing pathway where possible.

ix. Vendor will utilize Tripp Lite 4-Port Quad Outlet RJ45 Universal Keystone Jack Face Plate UNSPSC 43201612 or approved equivalent, with three CAT6A U/FTP cables (red/blue/yellow) terminating to CAT6A keystones (yellow/grey/ivory) and the fourth port covered with a keystone blank.

All mounting hardware will be to facilitate “full motion” style mounts. Mounts for the television will be purchased by the facility under a separate procurement and are outside the scope of this project. Mounts for the monitors are the responsibility of the vendor.

xv. USB connections to facilitate keyboards, mice, and card readers will be set into the wall using connections and extenders similar to those for the Crestron units and or the video conference units in the rest of the hospital. This is to allow the staff to use and remove the USB devices without giving the patients access to them. The boxes that house the USB connections are to be flush with the new wall.

xvi. Monitors will be provided by the contractor, as will all cabling (to include patch cables).

xvii. Televisions for the bedside television program will be purchased by the facility under a separate procurement and installed by a separate contractor. Final connections to the bedside television switch will be made by that same contractor and everything in this paragraph is outside the scope of this current project.

xviii. All penetrations of smoke and fire barriers will be fire-stopped using materials in accordance with the local cabling standards.

xix. All data cabling will be tested and certified, with the certification documentation provided to the contracting officer’s representative to be kept on record.
