Statement of Work MRI Building Walkway Project# 442-18-014S

1. Overview

The intent of this project is to construct a temporary covered walkway from the West double door exit of the main Arrowhead building to the South entrance of the MRI Building. This is to allow patients a safe and secure way to get from the main building to the MRI trailer for their appointments.

Scope of Work:

Installation of the temporary covered walkway will require support and extension of electrical, fire protection, and fire alarm services from the existing MRI Building into the new walkway. Construction of the walkway will include the installation of wood framed walls with wood panel siding and a roof with asphalt shingles and gutter/ downspout. Two new doors will be provided (one with an ADA opener) along with four new operable windows which will provide natural light and ventilation. The walkway will be constructed and secured on top of the existing concrete between the two buildings. A short concrete sidewalk is being added to complete the path of exiting from the MRI Building’s secondary egress doors due to the new walkway cutting off the pervious exiting path. Contractor is responsible for all disconnections and reconnections of utility services.
