Questions and Answers for Building 141 Heating System

1. Can you tell me where you would like the Key personnel listed on the technical requirements?

This has been removed from the instructions to offerors.

2. Please confirm if normal business hours are acceptable with the exception of work done in Directors office?

The specifications states that up to 80% of the work will have to be done at night or on the weekends. Plan you schedule accordingly. We have no space available to shift staff around during construction. The VA will work with the contractor as and if space is available to work on during the regular business hours from (7:00a to 5:00p).

3. For work above ceilings; Do ceiling tiles need to be placed back into grid each night?

As discussed in the site walkthrough the ceiling tiles required to be removed should be stored on site and protected. They do not have to be replaced each night when work is going on in an area, but should be reinstalled in the work zone in 3-4 days or as soon as work is completed.

The contractor will be required to cover all desks, equipment, etc. each day. Then at the end of the work day the contractor will be required to remove the covers and clean the areas so the office or space can be used the next work day. The repeat the process the next day if required.

The director’s office suite will be required to be completed all in one scheduled work period.

4. Regarding pipe chase along elevator shaft; When furring shaft out for new piping there will be a conflict with existing door on the 2nd floor. Please confirm that filling in existing door opening and relocating door is required.

The HVAC main S & R piping can be positioned to the east side of the space on the second floor adjacent to the dumb waiter elevator to avoid conflicts with the hallway door. The VA believes this will correct the problem associated with the pipe routing.

5. Confirm ICRA requirements.

The IRCA should be a Group 1 (Low Risk) activity, Type “C” which generates moderate to elevated levels of dust, requires greater than 1 work shift to complete in cases. It will require filters HEPA in office work areas during construction (class II). The risk will be mitigated by the contractor having to wipe down and clean the work zones each day at the end of the shift.

6. We are confused about the language listed within specifications section 23 09 23 pertaining to “this facility’s existing direct-digital control system is manufactured by Schnieder Automation and it’s ECC is located in Building 150.” The existing facility’s direct-digital control system is manufactured by Johnson Controls and is connected to the ADX server located in Building 150. Please clarify.

The existing building controls system is in the process of being upgraded to Schnieder Automation or approved equal. Schnieder Automation is now being used in most of the hospital facility. Any system submitted must have an open back Net format to allow programing changes by staff if required.

The control system is also required to be connected to the VA energy engineer’s office computer, located in room 206 of building 141.
