Veterans Affairs or Contractor, the Contractor shall notify the COR in sufficient time to enable testing laboratory personnel to be present at the site in time for proper taking and testing of specimens and field inspection. Such prior notice shall be not less than three workdays unless otherwise designated by the COR.

E. All employees of general contractor and subcontractors shall comply with VA security management program and obtain permission of the VA police, be identified by project and employer, and restricted from unauthorized access.

1.3 STATEMENT OF BID ITEM(S)

A. ITEM I, All work as required by drawings and specifications, including general construction, demolition, modification and renovation of the

01 00 00 - 2 existing Central Boiler Plant (Building 8). This project includes but is not limited to the following general outline of the project and shall be worked with all drawings included with the contract documents:

1. The locations of underground utilities found and shown within these project documents, were conducted for design purposes only, therefore locations shown within these design documents are approximate and the existence and location of any underground obstruction or utility cannot be guaranteed, therefore the project area must be fully investigated and verified in the field by the contractor prior to excavation/construction. The contractor is responsible to locate and identify all public and private underground utilities associated with the project area. The contractor shall enlist the assistance of the owner, sub-contractor, public utilizes etc. to obtain their opinion as to the locations of underground utilities that may exist within the construction area and that may or may not be presented in the contract documents.

2. Provide land survey signed and sealed by a licensed land surveyor in the state of Massachusetts. Perform survey on ground according to

Accuracy Standards for ALTA-ACSM Land Title Surveys and FGDC

STD-007.3 and FGDC STD-007.4 (see specification section 02 21 13).

a. Provide topo contours at 1’intervals.

b. Boundary Retracement Survey:

1) Perform research at the Suffolk County Registry of Deeds, City of Boston Engineering Department, Massachusetts Land Court, and Massachusetts Department of Transportation, as necessary.

2) Perform field survey to include the parcel boundary monuments, street right-of-way boundary lines, lines of occupation, potential encroachments, and structures on the property.

3. The health facility steam system operates year-round for HVAC (i.e., building heating and ac reheat), medical equipment sterilization and domestic water heating. It is crucial that all tie-in work associated with the steam and condensate systems will be accomplished and completed during the warmer months (approximately

April 1 through November 1) to minimize critical system shutdowns.

All other work can be performed at any time as long as a phasing plan is submitted to the VA. The contractor shall plan and coordinate all required steam shut-downs with the VA COR. Steam shut-downs are limited to eight (8)-hours maximum unless approved by the VA COR and medical administration.

The contractor's phasing plan is subject to final approval by the VA.

Final approved phasing plan shall not be grounds for a change order.

4. With the exception of building 21 (research building), the construction phasing of this project will be carried out without the use of rental steam generation trailers. The objective is to leave

01 00 00 - 4 the existing central boiler plant fully operational during construction. The new central boiler plant and emergency generator/electrical rooms and new steam tunnel will be constructed, fully operational, tested, and commissioned prior to demolition of the existing central boiler plant. Once the existing plant is removed the building shell of the central chiller plant will be erected. The design anticipates that the construction of this project will occur during five (5) major phases of construction. See

Drawing GI002.

5. Provide temporary steam boilers to supply steam to the Research

Building (Building 21) during construction. Provide all temporary piping, utilities, pipe supports and appurtenances.

6. Based upon the brittle nature of cast iron, the VA prohibits the use of cast iron or malleable fittings and components in high and medium pressure steam systems (15 psi or above). All new construction or repairs must not use cast iron fittings and components or malleable fittings anywhere in the high-pressure and medium pressure steam system (15psi or above). All new construction or repairs must use cast steel or forged steel fittings only.
