DUST CONTROL PLAN NOTES

A. THIS PROJECT INCLUDES CONSTRUCTION ENTRY

VESTIBULE - CONSTRUCTION ANTEROOM. THEY

SHALL BE USED WHEN GOING INTO CONSTRUCTION

AREA AND LEAVING THE CONSTRUCTION AREA AND

TIGHT SEALS SHALL BE MAINTAINED AT THE FULL

PERIMETER OF WALLS AND WALL PENETRATIONS.

ANY DUST SHALL BE IMMEDIATELY CLEANED IF

TRACKED OUTSIDE OF THE CONSTRUCTION BARRIER.

UPON COMPLETION OF THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE,

DUST BARRIERS SHALL BE REMOVED CAREFULLY

AFTER VA COR'S APPROVAL TO MINIMIZE SPREADING

OF DUST AND THE CONTRACTOR SHALL HAVE

TEMPORARY DUST PROTECTION IN PLACE BEFORE

REMOVAL OF A PERMANENT BARRIER. TEMPORARY

ACTIVITIES DUST AND DEBRIS CONTROL

B. TRAFFIC CONTROL: DESIGNATED ENTRY AND EXIT

PROCEDURES SHALL BE DEFINED. EGRESS PATHS

SHALL BE FREE OF DEBRIS; DESIGNATED ELEVATORS

SHALL BE USED DURING SCHEDULED TIMES; AND

ONLY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL SHALL BE ALLOWED

TO ENTER THE CONSTRUCTION ZONE. SIGNAGE

SHALL DIRECT PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC AWAY FROM

THE CONSTRUCTION AREA AND MATERIALS.

C. DEMOLITION DEBRIS: DEBRIS SHALL BE REMOVED IN

CARTS WITH TIGHTLY FITTED COVERS, USING

DESIGNATED TRAFFIC ROUTE AND DESIGNATED

SERVICE ELEVATOR AS DIRECTED BY COR. EFFORTS

SHALL BE MADE TO MINIMIZE USE OF ELEVATOR WITH

AN EMPHASIS ON TRANSPORT DURING THE LOWEST

PERIOD OF ACTIVITY. DEBRIS SHALL BE REMOVED

DAILY AND AT TIMES SPECIFIED BY THE COR. IF

CHUTES ARE USED TO DIRECT DEBRIS OUTSIDE,

HIGH EFFICIENCY PARTICULATE AIR (HEPA) FILTERED

NEGATIVE AIR MACHINES SHALL BE USED, AND THE

CHUTE OPENING SHALL BE SEALED WHEN NOT IN

USE. FILTERS SHALL BE BAGGED AND SEALED

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION:

1. THE BASIS OF DESIGN (BOD) COMPLIANCE PROTOCOLS ARE TO BE FOLLOWED FOR ALL CONTRACTOR PROPOSED EQUIVALENT SUBSTITUTIONS OR

DEVIATIONS FROM THE BASE BID/CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS.

2. AN EQUIVALENT SUBSTITUTION REPRESENTS ANY DEVIATION FROM THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS ORIGINAL DESIGN INTENT, SCOPE OF WORK

REQUIREMENTS, THE DETAILING OR SPECIFICATIONS.

3. NO SUCH EQUIVALENT SUBSTITUTION OR DEVIATION WILL BE ALLOWED WITHOUT FIRST GOING THROUGH THE BOD COMPLIANCE PROTOCOLS PROCESS

AND OBTAINNG VA APPROVAL.

4. ONCE VA APPROVAL OF THE EQUIVALENT SUBSTITUTION OR DEVIATION REQUEST HAS BEEN OBTAINED, THE FORMAL SHOP DRAWING PREPARATION AND

SUBMITTAL PROCESS MAY BEGIN FOR THAT WORK.

5. THE FOLLOWING BOD COMPLIANCE PROTOCOLS DEFINE IN DETAIL THE RESPONSIBLITIES AND THE EVALUATION PROCESS ALONG WITH THE REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED WHEN REQUESTING VA CONSIDERATION OF ANY PROPOSED EQUIVALENT SUBTITUTION OR

DEVIATION.

BOD COMPLIANCE PROTOCOLS:

1. THE BOD COMPLIANCE PROTOCOLS APPLY TO ALL MATERIALS, EQUIPMENT, HARDWARE, FINISHES, CONTROLS, ENGINEERING SYSTEMS AND THEIR INCLUSIVE PARTS, DETAILED ASSEMBLIES PLUS ALL RELATED DESIGN ELEMENTS AND SPECIFIED PARAMETERS THAT ARE CONTAINED WITHIN THE BID/ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS DOCUMENTATION, OR AS SPECIFCIALLY REFERENCED BY SAME.

2. SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS REQUIRING BOD COMPLIANCE ANALYSIS WILL VARY WITH EACH SPECIFIC ITEM BEING PROPOSED AS AN EQUIVALENT

SUBSTITUITON AND WILL NEED TO BE FULLY COMPARED TO ESTABLISH BOD COMPLIANCE.

3. CRITICAL DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS AND ELEMENTS ARE SPECIFIC TO EACH ITEM NEEDING CONSIDERATION AND COULD CONSIST OF, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CRITERIA SUCH AS DIMENSIONAL, LOGISTICS, PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS, CAPACITY, DUTY REQUIREMENTS, UTILITIES IMPACTS, CONNECTION VARIANCES, DETAILING DEVIATIONS, FRAMING MODIFICATIONS, ROUGH-IN REQUIREMENTS, WEIGHT INCREASES AND/OR DISTRIBUTIONS, STRUCTURAL IMPACTS, ATTACHMENTS, SUPPORTS, FINISHES, AVAILABILITY, COMPATIBILITY, CONSTRUCTABILITY, WARRANTIES, SERVICE LIFE, MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS, ENVIRONMETNAL CONSIDRATIONS, LEED RELATED DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS, ETC.

4. A VERY CRITICAL IMPORTANT DESIGN CHARACTERISTIC OF ALL BOD ITEMS NEEDING TO BE FULLY EVALUATED AND PROPERLY COORDINATED WOULD BE THE DESIGN AND LAYOUT OF DIMENSIONAL AND LOGISTICS REQUIREMENTS. THOSE CRITICAL PARAMETERS COULD CONSIST OF, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ALL DIMENSIONAL ELEMENTS THAT AFFECT SIZE, HEIGHT, WIDTH, DEPTH, THICKNESS, PLACEMENT, SPACING, CLEARANCES, ACCESS, MOUNTING, CONNECTION/LOCATION REQUIREMENTS, INSTALLATION TOLERANCES, OPERABLE ELEMENT CLEARANCES, SCHEDULES, ETC., ALL OF WHICH COULD

IMPACT OTHER AREAS OR COMPONENTS OF WORK, INCLUDING TIMING OF DELIVERY.

5. CONTRACTORS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE TO FULLY IDENTIFY ALL PROPOSED EQUIVALENT SUBSTITUTIONS, DEVIATIONS, IMPACTS AND MODIFICATIONS FROM THE “BASIS OF DESIGN” INTENT WITH THE GENERAL/PRIME CONTRACTOR DURING THE BIDDING PROCESS AND OBTAIN THEIR APPROVAL BEFORE
