Renovate Bldg 77 for Customer Service Bid Documents

01 00 00 - 6 by patients, medical personnel, or Contractor's personnel-- except as permitted or coordinated in advance with COR, or where required by limited working space.

1. Do not store materials and equipment anywhere other than assigned areas.

2. Schedule delivery of materials and equipment to immediate construction working areas within buildings in use by Department of

Veterans Affairs in quantities sufficient for not more than two workdays. Provide unobstructed access to Medical Center areas required to remain in operation. Keep roads clear of construction materials, debris, standing construction equipment, and vehicles at all times.

3. Where access by Medical Center personnel to vacated portions of buildings is not required, storage of Contractor's materials and equipment will be permitted subject to fire and safety requirements.

G. Phasing:

The entire work area will be vacated and made available to the

Contractor for the purpose of this work. No major phasing with partial occupancy is planned. However, the Medical Center must maintain its operation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Therefore, any interruption in service must be scheduled and coordinated with the COR in advance to ensure that no lapses in operation occur. It is the CONTRACTOR'S responsibility to develop a work plan and schedule detailing, at a

(FAR 52.236-10)

D. Working space and space available for storing materials shall be as determined by the COR. Space availability is limited and not guaranteed. Available locations are subject to change.

E. Workers are subject to rules of Medical Center applicable to their conduct.

F. Execute work so as to interfere as little as possible with normal functioning of Medical Center as a whole, including operations of utility services, fire protection systems and any existing equipment, and with work being done by others. Use of equipment and tools that transmit vibrations and noises through the building structure is not permitted in buildings that are occupied during construction, whether

01 00 00 - 7 minimum, the procedures to be employed, the equipment and materials to be used, the interim life safety measure to be used during the work, and a schedule defining the duration of the work with milestone subtasks. The work to be outlined shall include, but not be limited to:

To ensure such executions, Contractor shall furnish the COR with a schedule of approximate phasing dates for which the Contractor intends to accomplish work on each specific area of site or part of the building. In addition, Contractor shall notify the COR two weeks in advance of the proposed date of starting work on each part of the building, regardless of current schedule dates. Arrange such phasing dates to ensure accomplishment of this work in successive phases mutually agreeable to Medical Center Director, Chief of

Engineering, impacted service(s), COR and Contractor.

H. The building outlined in each task order scope of work may be occupied during performance of work. The Government will vacate immediate areas of alteration in advance, in accordance with the approved phasing of each task order, but no later than 14 calendar days after receipt of

Notice to Proceed and turned over to Contractor. Work hours may vary, therefore coordination of work schedule with hospital hours for the work area will need to occur prior to award of task order.

1. Contractor shall take all measures and provide all material necessary for protecting existing equipment and property in affected areas of construction against damage, dust and debris, so that equipment and affected areas to be used in the Medical Center's operations will not be hindered. Contractor shall permit access to Department of

Veterans Affairs personnel and patients through construction areas which serve as routes of access to such affected areas and equipment.

These routes, whether access or egress, shall be isolated from the construction area by temporary partitions and have walking surfaces, lighting, etc. to facilitate patient and staff access. Coordinate all alteration work in areas occupied by Department of Veterans

Affairs such that Medical Center operations will continue during the construction period.

2. Immediate areas of alterations not mentioned in preceding

Subparagraph 1 will be temporarily vacated while alterations are performed.

01 00 00 - 8 gates locked at all times when construction personnel are not present, and shall provide its own lock. The VA will provide an additional lock to daisy-chain all gates to allow VA personnel access for inspection, safety, and security.

B. The Contractor shall protect from damage all existing improvements and utilities at or near the work site and on adjacent property of a third party, the locations of which are made known to or should be known by the Contractor. The Contractor shall repair any damage to those facilities, including those that are the property of a third party, resulting from failure to comply with the requirements of this contract or failure to exercise reasonable care in performing the work.
