Milwaukee, WI 53295 November 20, 2025

01 00 00 - 9 equipment deliveries cannot meet a reasonably revised schedule the

Contracting Officer may evaluate and implement a temporary contract suspension to avoid excess GC General Conditions expenses. This will be a bilateral discussion with the Contractor, the VA having authority to make the final determination.

5. The project site is on Milwaukee Campus, the location now generally occupied by Bldg 109 and its support garage, the specific construction site bound by Lincoln Drive (north, east) and Chiller

Plant Alley (south, west). See Campus site plan.

6. The project site will be available to the Contractor immediately after issuance of the Notice to Proceed (to coordinate the pre-construction survey and for the preparation of other pre-construction submittals). Only upon approval of long lead time equipment submittals and required pre-construction submittals will the project site and any approved laydown areas be formally turned over to Contractor for mobilization and work (Phase II). Any other access must occur only with written approval of the COR.

7. Contractor shall take all measures and provide all material necessary for protecting existing equipment utilities and property in affected areas of construction against unnecessary/unplanned destruction or damage, so that Medical Center Campus operations will not be hindered or physical loss incurred. Coordinate protection means in areas so that Medical Center Campus operations will continue without impact on staff, patients, visitors and other contractors during the construction period.

J. Construction Fence (exterior civil work): Construction fence location, including privacy screen details, shall be included in the submitted

Logistics Plan. Before construction operations begin, Contractor shall provide a chain link construction fence and privacy screen, seven (7) feet minimum height, around the construction area indicated on the drawings.

K. When the construction site is turned over to Contractor, Contractor shall accept entire responsibility including upkeep and maintenance, specifically:

1. Grass and weeds shall be mowed/cut regularly inside and along the exterior of the construction fence, terminating as curbs or blacktop.

2. Storage of materials and equipment shall be kept orderly.

3. Contractor portable toilets shall be serviced and cleaned by an outside service contractor.

L. Abandoned Lines: As necessary, all service lines such as wires, cables, conduits, ducts, pipes and the like, and their hangers or supports, which are to be abandoned but are not required to be entirely removed, shall be sealed, capped, or plugged at the main, branch or panel they originate from.

1. Those which are indicated to be abandoned but cannot be entirely removed shall be sealed, capped, or plugged at the main, branch, or panel they originate from in an approved method.

2. Abandoned raceways that cannot be fully removed shall have the cables removed in all of those abandoned pipes, raceways, conduits, and duck banks. Where removal of conduit and duct banks is not feasible and if approved by COR, cut abandoned raceway at horizontal level (before turn-up) and cap (do not use tape – use an approved existing style conduit type cap) and paint cap red. Indicate location on record documents.

3. The intent is that those systems listed above that are so embedded in existing concrete walls or floors that they cannot be fully removed without compromising the structure can be capped. These shall be fully investigated by the Contractor and reviewed and accepted by the COR.

4. The lines shall not be capped in any finished or unfinished areas, but shall be removed and sealed, capped, or plugged only in masonry, CMU, concrete where they penetrate those materials or if accepted by the COR within walls or partitions; so that they are completed behind finished surfaces.

M. Existing Conditions: Upon completion of demolition activities, there may be other existing MEP infrastructure to remain (conduit or piping).

The Contractor shall be responsible for supporting and anchoring this infrastructure (that will remain) to meet current code requirements.

N. To minimize interference of construction activities with flow of

Medical Center Campus traffic, comply with the following:

1. Keep roads, walks and entrances to grounds, parking and occupied areas of buildings clear of construction materials, debris and standing construction equipment and vehicles. Wherever excavation for new utility lines cross existing roads, at least one lane must

Milwaukee, WI 53295 November 20, 2025

01 00 00 - 11 always be open to traffic. Follow traffic control plan as noted in the drawings.

2. Method and scheduling of required cutting, altering and removal of existing roads, walks and entrances must be approved by the COR.

1.7 ALTERATIONS

A. Site Survey: Before any work is started, the Contractor shall make a thorough survey of the project site with the COR and furnish a written report. The report shall list:

1. For exterior work, existing conditions of roads, curbs, grassy areas, existing above-ground infrastructure (signage, lighting, structures, hydrants) and other items not required to be altered during the contract work. The report should demarcate the items that are affected by the work from those that are not impacted by the work.

2. Existence and conditions of items such as plumbing fixtures and accessories, electrical fixtures, equipment, shades, etc., required by the drawings to be either reused or relocated, or both.

3. Note any discrepancies between drawings and existing conditions at site.

4. Shall designate areas for working space, materials storage, and routes of access to areas within buildings where alterations occur, and which have been agreed upon by Contractor and COR. Coordinate with the Contractor’s Logistics Plan.

B. Any items required by drawings to be either reused or relocated or both, found during this survey to be nonexistent, or in opinion of COR, to be in such condition that their use is impossible or impractical, shall be furnished and/or replaced by Contractor with new items in accordance with specifications which will be furnished by Government.

Provided the contract work is changed by reason of this subparagraph B, the contract will be modified accordingly, under provisions of clause entitled "DIFFERING SITE CONDITIONS" (FAR 52.236-2) and "CHANGES" (FAR

52.243-4 and VAAR 852.243-70/71).

C. Re-Survey: Prior to final inspection date and as requested by the

Contractor, the Contractor and COR together shall make a thorough re-survey of the areas or areas involved in the Existing Conditions

Survey.

1. Re-survey report shall also list any damage caused by Contractor to floors, walls, ceilings, or above-grade infrastructure (roads, curbs, signage, hydrants, landscaping) and other surfaces, despite protection measures; and will form basis for determining extent of repair work required of Contractor to restore damage caused by

Contractor's workers in executing work of this contract.

D. Protection: Provide the following protective measures:

1. Wherever existing building envelope surfaces or grounds are disturbed they shall be protected against construction activity.

Utilities serving areas other than the construction site shall be repaired immediately upon discovery.

2. Temporary protection against damage for portions of existing structures and grounds where work is to be done, materials handled, and equipment moved and/or relocated.

3. Protection of interior of existing structures always, from damage, dust, and weather infiltration. Wherever work is performed, floor surfaces that are to remain in place shall be adequately protected prior to starting work, and this protection shall be maintained intact until all work in the area is completed.

1.8 DISPOSAL AND RETENTION

A. Refer to Specification 01 74 19 for more information. Materials and equipment accruing from work removed and from demolition activities shall be disposed of as follows:

1. Reserved items (existing to remain or existing to relocate) which are to remain property of the Government are identified in the drawings. Items that remain property of the Government shall be removed or dislodged from present locations in such a manner as to prevent damage which would be detrimental to re-installation and reuse.
