RFI #1: Section 01 00 00 para 1.8/B indicates that this project has been evaluated for ICRA level III Type C. Section 01 35 26 outlines the Class III requirements but doesn't mentionthe requirements associated with Type C. Please advise.

Answer: The attached Infectious Control Risk Assessment matrix was used to determine that the precaution class for this project is level III.

see continuation page

RFI #2: Section 01 35 26 para 1.12/B states that this project has been determined to follow Class III (infection control) Requirements. However, paragraph 1.12/C states that the primary project scope area for this project is Class II. Please clarify this discrepancy and confirm the infection control class for all areas of work under this contract.

Answer: The Infectious control activities that are to be implemented are found on the Precautions Classes (Levels of Required Infection Control Activates) Matrix found on page 3 of the Infectious Control Risk Assessment Matrix. Please note that the Level III activities include those required in in Level I and II as well.

RFI #3: Section 01 35 26 para 1.12/C/3 outlines Class III infection control requirements. Item a/iii states “Complete all critical barriers i.e. sheetrock, plywood, plastic…” Please clarify the barrier type(s) that will be required for this project (i.e. sheetrock, plywood, plastic). If hard barriers are required, please also clarify what is required of the barrier construction (i.e. insulated, finished on occupied side, etc.).

Answer: The work area for each phase with the exception of the Nurse Station must be separated from the rest of the building with a stud and sheetrock wall built to the design of a fire wall. This wall must be sealed at each end as well as at the floor and ceiling. An access door must be installed and have a handset that will receive a seven pin Best lock cylinder and be WX stripped. A sticky pad must be placed outside the door at all times. All joints are to be fire taped. No painting or other finishes are required.

The Infectious Control to be used while working on the Nursing Stations shall consist of plastic wall with zipper door openings. Negative air pressure must be maintained within the work area.

The air pressure in the work space must be kept negative with reference to the remainder of the building. Equipment and other seals must be kept in place and operating at all times.

All ventilation supply and exhaust grills must be sealed. If the application of any building products requires a specific temperature range, stand-alone heating/cooling units must be used.
