Contractor shall field-verify all quantities and conditions prior to installation; any discrepancies must be reported to the COR immediately. No substitutions for specified products without CO approval. Work shall be performed in full accordance with the technical specifications including, but not limited to: Sections 00 01 15, 01 33 23, 01 35 26, 01 45 00, 01 57 19, 01 74 19, 02 41 00, 02 82 13.19, 07 84 00, 09 05 16, 09 65 19, 09 68 00 (demo only), and 09 91 00 (touch-up painting). The Contractor shall execute all work in accordance with the VA provided phasing drawings and written direction, including the sequencing for Buildings 2, 1, 28, and 29. No deviations from the approved phasing shall occur without written approval from the COR and CO. Each building shall be fully completed before mobilizing to the next building, unless otherwise directed in writing.

Contractor pricing shall reflect complete execution of all work required to install VCT, carpet tile and vinyl base in the locations identified within the contract documents. The contractor shall be a reasonable and prudent bidder anticipating conditions typically found in historic buildings from the 1923 era.

Substrate corrections shall be expected as required.

Provide complete flooring replacement, including all labor, materials, equipment, abatement, installation, and incidentals. Perform abatement of asbestos-containing mastic per VA Specification Section 02 82 13.19, Asbestos Floor Tile and Mastic Abatement, in full compliance with VA, OSHA, EPA, state, and local requirements (abatement, disposal, air monitoring, containment, clearance). Include all associated patching, substrate preparation, protection, disposal, and coordination to return the area to fully serviceable condition. Asbestos Abatement is required in (2) locations in the basement of building 28.

Dayshift and night shift is required for this work. See the plan for additional details.

Buildings B2, B28, B1, and B29 shall constitute the Base Bid. Contractor pricing shall reflect complete execution of all work within each respective building as a single complete base bid. Deduct alternates shall not be utilized. If the Government determines that scope must be reduced, any such reduction will be handled as a descope after award through written direction by the Contracting Officer.

a. Exhibit B identifies ACM locations (e.g., mastic beneath floor tile/carpet; multiple rooms with ACM mastic; ACM floor tile/mastic in select rooms/corridors; pipe insulation/debris in ceiling penetrations/crawlspaces). Contractor shall review Exhibit B prior to demolition/flooring removal and coordinate required abatement per VA Spec 02 82 13.19. Do not disturb identified ACM until all required abatement, containment, notifications, and clearances are completed. Where adhesive removal/abatement impacts painted wall finishes, prepare/repair/paint surfaces to match existing finish conditions (Sherwin-Williams color match; VA standards). No additional cost unless authorized in writing by the

CO.

Va access to B28 Room 5 and room 31 shall be maintained. Review the construction plan for details as B28 is a mix of day shift and night shift work. All ACM abatement shall strictly follow Section 02 82

13.19. Flooring work in B28 will be adjacent to ACM that will not be abated under this project. The contractor shall not disturb existing acm not identified to be abated.

d. Contractor trade(s) anticipated.

1. The contractor is responsible for the labor skill mix to perform according to the contract documents. Provide appropriate trades to perform flooring removal/installation, asbestos abatement, painting, electrical, general labor and other work required in the contract documents.

B2 nurse station has 2 electrified cubicles that require temporary removal, temp storage and reinstallation by the contractor. See the plans for more details.

The basis of design is:

• Remove salvage for reinstall the lower panels, temporarily lift sections of the nurse station to install flooring beneath; support existing utilities and structures to remain.

• Remove existing flooring, prep substrate as needed.

• Provide carpet tile under nurse stations using Shaw Contract Ground Spaces Collection (24x24, non directional, medium to dark color range). Seven (7) non returnable samples shall be provided for stain testing. Final color selection shall be coordinated with VA.
