About this file

This file is a detailed specification document (Attachment 4-Specs Vol 2-ATL.pdf) for a VA construction project to add a 12-bed Community Living Center (CLC) at the Trinka Davis Veterans Village in Carrollton, Georgia. The project, with contract number VA36C77622R0059, involves constructing 10 standard CLC rooms and 2 bariatric rooms capable of accommodating patients up to 1,000 pounds, with private bathrooms and co-sleeper spaces. The specification covers comprehensive technical requirements across multiple divisions, including architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and finishing specifications, with detailed sections on materials, installation methods, testing procedures, and quality standards.

The project is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside with an estimated construction value between $10-20 million. The specification document provides extensive technical guidance for contractors, including specific requirements for piping, insulation, electrical systems, fire suppression, equipment installation, and commissioning processes. The project aims to integrate the new CLC seamlessly with the existing facility, maintaining consistent aesthetics and allowing shared spaces for staff, patients, and visitors.
