4. Specific Tasks

The Anchorage Veterans Affairs Medical Center is a Medical Center First! Any and all construction activities shall be secondary to the mission of the Medical Center. This means activities that disrupt (including power, noise/vibration, fumes/smells, access, and infection control risk assessment (ICRA) disruptions) clinic operations shall only be performed outside of normal business hours, to be coordinated with the COR. The Contracting Officer or designated representative shall have the final authority over the needs of the Medical Center. Additionally, construction safety, infection control and site security shall be prime requirements of the work.

INFECTION CONTROL/CONSTRUCTION BARRIERS

The VA has performed internal infection control risk assessments (ICRAs) for all areas that require invasive work inside the occupied portions of the building. As part of this construction package, these ICRAs have been provided, which include prescribed contract requirements. The prescribed barriers, pressure controls, and other control methods detailed in each ICRA, are non-negotiable and must be followed, with regular condition assessments performed. Condition assessments (and necessary corrections) are to be performed daily, by the contractor’s personnel to ensure all temporary control methods are in good working order. The COR and infection control lead at the VAMC will perform condition assessments ad-hoc, and if control methods are found to be operating outside of prescribed ICRA guidelines, additional inspection intervals may be required at the discretion of the COR.

TESTING

The Contractor shall be responsible for all testing and laboratory services in connection with this project as stated in the contract drawings and specifications.

DISPOSAL OF EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS

The Contractor is responsible for the correct disposal of all materials associated with this project.

COORDINATION OF WORK

The Contractor is to coordinate with the COR for direction. Any and all disruptions to the normal functions of the VAMC shall be brought to the attention of the COR at the earliest possible date.

5. Performance Monitoring

The Government is required to monitor contractor performance and certify the work was done in accordance with the contract. This monitoring is done by the COR, via periodic inspections of the work as further detailed in the drawings and specifications.

6. Security Requirements

The Contractor shall only access Medical Center areas directly associated with the work. The Contractor shall not enter or attempt to enter any patient care area. Additionally, the Contractor shall provide construction site security as further identified in the Specifications or on the Drawings.

7. Government-Furnished Equipment (GFE)/Government-Furnished Information (GFI)

There is no GFE for this contract. GFI includes this SOW, contract drawings, and contract specifications.

PACKAGING, PACKING AND SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS

All deliveries shall be specifically addressed to the Contractor and not the Medical Center. The Medical Center shall make best efforts to refuse delivery of Contractor goods or materials. Any materials inadvertently received by the Medical Center will be identified to the Contractor for immediate pick-up. The Medical Center takes no responsibility in the receipt of any goods or materials that are the Contractor’s. Additionally, the Contractor shall be responsible for receipt, offloading at the site and storage of all Government-Furnished Equipment.

INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

The COR is responsible for certifying that the work done under the contract is performed to time and standard. The COR is also responsible to assure the inspection and acceptance of in place products provided incidental to services. A demo period or trial is not inspection of a product.

8. Risk Control

The Contractor shall refer to division 01 specifications for guidelines on safety and risk.

9. Quality Control

The Contractor is responsible for their own quality control. Refer to specification 01 45 00 for expectations and reporting requirements related to quality control.

10. Place of Performance

Work shall be performed at the Anchorage VA Medical Center, Anchorage, AK, physical address 1201 N. Muldoon Rd., Anchorage, AK 99504.

11. Period of Performance

The contract length shall be 240 calendar days from receipt of the Administrative Notice to Proceed. Contractor to provide, update and maintain a project schedule.

12. Phasing

Administration – An Administrative notice to proceed (NTP) will be issued to initially begin the project. The only work that will be completed during this phase will be submittal review, planning, and preparation for construction. Once 50% of all submittals are completed, with an emphasis on long lead items, construction phasing plan, and a project schedule, a construction NTP may be issued.

Construction Phasing – The plans do not include specific phasing instructions, but the nature of work will require the building envelope to be opened and exposed to the elements in several different locations. Each area needs to be discretely completed prior to beginning work on a new area to minimize environmental disturbances inside the medical facility. The order in which each area will be under construction will be documented in a Construction Phasing Plan. A construction phasing plan is required to be submitted and approved during the administration period, prior to the issuance of a construction NTP.

Winter Suspension – This project will extend into the winter months. Due to the nature of this project, once freezing nighttime temperatures begin in the fall, the current phase of the project will need to be completed, and then the project will be temporarily suspended until the Spring.

Close communication between the contractor and VA is required to manage Fall suspension and Spring start-up.

Spring 2027 Startup - The project will be restarted again in the Spring of 2027, subject to temperatures and snow/ice thawing. This will likely begin in early April of 2027. This is to be determined by the COR and communicated by the VA Contracting Team.
