SECTION C – DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK
C-1. STATEMENT/SCOPE OF WORK
A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Title: PH18CR02C9, Supai Clinic Replacement and New Quarters Construction
Purpose: Replace the existing Indian Health Service (IHS) Supai Clinic with a new Clinic and Staff Quarters. The new Clinic will provide Primary Care, Dental, Pharmacy/Medication Dispensing, Lab and Radiology. Additionally, the new Clinic will have Specialty Care Visiting Providers (Podiatry, Optometry, Ophthalmology and Psychiatry) as well as Alcohol and Substance Abuse, Behavioral Health, Social Work, Public Health Nursing, and Public Health Education Programs. The floor plan combines the clinic and the quarters into a two story building with the Clinic located on the first floor and the Staff Quarters on the second floor. Construction will be phased in order to maintain the current IHS Transient Quarters (located on future construction site) intact until new Quarters are constructed.
Location: All work shall be performed in Supai Village located in Havasu Canyon on the Havasupai Reservation. The location of the new clinic will be on a parcel that includes the existing Tribal consultant quarters and existing IHS transient quarters. The overall size of the parcel is approximately 11,000 square feet.
B. BACKGROUND
The existing Havasupai (Supai) Clinic is a 2,160 square feet (sf) single story modular building built in 1972. A Facility Assessment Report prepared by the Phoenix Area Indian Health Service (PAIHS) in 2011 indicated that the existing Supai Clinic had reached the end of its useful life and is undersized for the population it serves. Subsequently, PAIHS contracted with an Architect-Engineer (A-E) firm to provide a design for a new clinic on an existing IHS leased parcel site.
C. SCOPE OF WORK
1. The project consists of the construction of a new two story community health clinic and dwelling units in the village of Supai in the Grand Canyon. The building is of wood framed construction with metal siding and roofing. There are special conditions for site access due to the extremely remote location, including materiel transport by helicopter, and provision of temporary housing for workers.
2. The clinic is designed to be constructed in two phases as follows:
Phase One: The existing north house as shown on the construction drawings will be demolished by the Havasupai Tribe prior to construction. The first phase consists of 7,500 sf on two floors.
The first floor is clinical spaces, offices, and support spaces, and the second floor is dwelling units – two two-bedroom units, and three single bedroom efficiency units. The first floor will be shelled (structure and envelope complete) while the second floor is completing construction.
Once the second floor is habitable (substantially complete), the residents inhabiting the existing Doctor’s Quarters adjacent to the new construction will be relocated into the new dwelling units and the existing Quarters building will be demolished by the Contractor. Demolition of the existing quarters will include hazardous materials abatement.
Phase Two: The second phase consists of completion of the Phase 1 first floor construction and the construction of 3,400 sf of single story new clinical space added to the Phase 1 building.
3. The Contractor shall be responsible for all necessary work to achieve required outcomes, including labor, equipment, tools, personal protective equipment (PPE), coordination with Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), internal construction permits, incidental design, travel, TERO fees, and other related expenses. Work includes all civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, medical gas systems, fire protection, special systems (network/phone), medical equipment, furniture and all finishes.
a. Comprehensive As-Builts. Construction Drawings in AutoCAD will be provided to Contractor.
b. Any and all other construction tasks as required to complete the project in accordance with Attachment J01 – Construction Drawings and Attachment J02 – Construction Specifications; these construction documents provide requirements of the project as well as required outcomes and objectives.

(4) A completed Release of Claims that complies with the requirements of the “Payments” clause must be submitted with the request for final payment. A sample format is available from the Contracting Officer.
