About this file
This document is a Pre-Construction Risk Assessment and Exposure Control Checklist for a federal contract opportunity related to the VA Caribbean Healthcare System in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The project involves EHRM Infrastructure Upgrades across multiple buildings, including general construction, infrastructure upgrades, reconfiguration, and renovation work. Key hazards identified include asbestos, dust, moisture/water leaks, vapors/fumes, noise, vibration, air pressure relationships, and proximity to immune-suppressed patients. Control measures are detailed, such as asbestos abatement, dust containment, negative air pressure, scheduling work after hours, and relocating patients. The related federal contract opportunity is Solicitation Number 36C77624B0012 for the "EHRM Infrastructure Upgrades Construction San Juan" project, which is being solicited by the Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center Austin.
