PROJECT TYPE: Repair and Alteration

CCR: W. DeMaso

Contracting Official: Jeisel Sandoval

SOW Dated: 3/11/2019 ePM # 51721

Scope of Work: The contractor shall provide all equipment, materials, labor and supervision necessary to achieve fully functional kitchenettes in the locations specified.

To achieve this the following work is deemed necessary:

- Install kitchenettes in 37 jury rooms and one kitchenette in suite 120. Kitchenette cabinetry and installations shall be per attached design intent drawings SK34 for

Suite120 Kitchenette and A-200 for Jury Rm kitchenettes . Back splashes and side splashes are required and shall be of the same material as the countertops.

Refrigerators and microwaves to be court provided: the contractor shall assure openings in their cabinetry will accept the court provided appliances. New jury room kitchenettes were previously installed on floor15 and these installations should be viewed as a basis for the jury rooms under this scope. For the jury room kitchenettes it may be necessary to relocate an existing coat rack to enable installation of the new cabinetry. It is noted that necessary plumbing and electrical connections will need to be installed to bring these services to the various kitchenette locations. Availability of a jury room is dictated by the court’s need schedule. If a particular jury room is not available the court will give the contractor a place to store tools and cabinetry in the vicinity until the jury room becomes available. For all kitchenette installations the contractor shall protect all existing surfaces (floors, walls, corners, furnishings, woodwork, etc) from potential damage due to construction activities. The contractor is encouraged to take dated photos of any existing damages to protect themselves from being held liable for repairing such pre-existing damages. Without such proof that the damage was pre-existing the contractor will be responsible for repairing the damage at no additional cost to this contract.

- Contractors need proper security clearances to work in the courthouse. If employee clearances are not already in place for each of the contractor’s employees expected to work on the project then such clearances must be applied for. Applications for clearances can be obtained through the contracting official noted above. Clearances can take several weeks to several months to come through and this must be taken into account when preparing project schedules – required elsewhere in this scope,

- Period of Performance – 40 calendar days per kitchenette installation. The two jury room kitchenettes on the 24th floor and the one installation in suite 120 are expected to form the base contract. The other 35 kitchenette installations – all in jury rooms – are expected to be awarded as pre-priced options (either one option at a time or in groups – depending on funding availability) and are planned to be done in the following sequence:

26th Fl (2 kitch)

23rd Fl (2 kitch)

21st Fl (4 kitch)

20th Fl (4 kitch)

18th Fl (4 kitch)

17th Fl (4 kitch)

14th Fl (4 kitch)

12th Fl (4 kitch)

11th Fl (4 kitch)

9th Fl (3 kitch)

This sequence is subject to change and, if changed, shall not be cause for additional cost to the contract.

For the jury room kitchenettes the following plumbing services must be brought to the kitchenette locations:

- a drain line of a size to permit easy hook up to the new kitchenette sink drain may be tapped off the existing water fountain drain/vent system. The existing water fountain plumbing is readily visible by removing an access panel below the fountain.

The newly run drain piping shall be brought into the intended kitchenette area and terminated in the proximity of where the new sink will be installed – see attached design intent drawing. The new drain piping shall be sloped as necessary to function as a gravity drain from the new sink to the existing drain. The final connection of the sink drain to this new drain line shall be done at the time the kitchenette cabinetry is put in place.

- ½” copper hot and a ½” copper cold water supplies – with conveniently located shut-off valves and with back flow prevention shall be tapped off existing hot and cold water piping. Cold water piping may be tapped off the water fountain piping and shall be insulated to prevent unwelcomed sweating. Hot water may be tapped into the adjacent bathroom hot water piping. Final connections to the new sink shall be accomplished at the time of cabinet installations.

- All plumbing connections shall be integrity tested to assure no leaks when subjected to the building’s water supply. Such testing shall be inspected by a GSA and/or court official. Any leaks shall be corrected by the contractor and another leak test conducted.

For the jury room kitchenettes, the following electric services are required:

- Four dedicated 120 v, 20 amp circuits with ground shall be run from the nearest electrical panel to the intended kitchenette areas and terminated in duplex outlets as show on the attached design intent drawings.

- Relocate existing telephone/data jacks from/to opposing alcove – see attached drawings.

For the jury room kitchenettes, the relocated coat rack may need to be shortened to fit its new location. Existing coat rack hardware may be retained and re-used if in good condition. If the existing coat rack has a bow or set in it , the contractor shall install a concealed center support, when re-installing the rack in an attempt to straighten the rack and prevent further bowing. Walls in the area where the coat rack was removed shall be repaired and re-painted. Painting shall be done from break point to break point in order not to be recognizable as a patch job.

Painting of the entire space is not part of this scope. If the existing coat rack is shorter than the new space do not attempt to lengthen the rack but, instead, just simply center it within its new locale.

For the Suite 120 kitchenette, core drill the floor as necessary for the installation and connection of pipes for the new sink. The contractor shall assure no utilities or structural steel is in way of desired hole locations before core drilling. Core drilling may have to be done off hours because of the noise and disruption it causes. Install the waste line and bring hot and cold water lines with isolation valves and back flow prevention to serve the new sink. Install electrical outlets as shown in attached sketch SK-34. Provide and install cabinetry, sink, countertop, back and side splashes, faucet, etc as shown in SK-34. Note cabinetry is required on either side of this room. Also note the cabinet details as provided in the sketch. Create storage room; provide and install storage room doors and shelving. The number of shelves for the cabinets and for the storage room shall be shown on the contractor produced shop drawings and be coordinated with the court architect prior to cabinet/storage room construction. Existing floor shall remain but shall be thoroughly cleaned and restored by the contractor to appear as if new. The new storage room and portions of walls not covered by the new cabinetry shall be prepared and painted by the contractor – colors to be chosen by the court architect based on samples provided by the contractor. The existing ceiling and grid shall remain but shall be cleaned so as to appear new. Light fixtures and fire sprinklers can remain as is but may need to be temporarily repositioned to permit the basic project to move forward.
