GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

1.1 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

Refer to Section 01 35 26, SAFETY REQUIREMENTS for safety and infection control requirements.

1.2 GENERAL INTENTION

A. PROJECT Upgrade Buildings 1, 19 & 21 Entrances for Accessibility

A) Bldg. 1 - West Tenth Street Entrance

Enhance accessibility by replacing existing entrance doors with new accessible sliding doors. Redesign present interior ramp handrail/entrance for easier access when exiting building. Provide equipment for locking capabilities to interface with building security.

B) Bldg. 1 – South Entrance near MRI – the current interior swing doors will be replaced with a slider door with a heated air curtain and then a storefront entrance with biparting doors will be added at the exterior and the end of the overhang to make a vestibule which will help on cold air rushing into the building.

C) Buildings 19 and 21 Vestibules

Bldgs. 19 & 21 single story outbuildings do not meet ADA accessibility.

There is 1 vestibule at back of Bldg. 19 (Fiscal Service) and one vestibule at the entrance to Bldg. 21 (Police Service). The outer door opens in and the inner door opens out, so there is not enough room if you are handicapped to clear the one door before you have to open the next door. Vestibules are there to trap the cold air during the winter so the staff just inside the doors in cubicles/offices aren’t blasted with cold winter air when someone enters the building. Both buildings need the vestibules redesigned for auto doors/ADA accessibility with appropriate security locks.

B. Visits to the site by Bidders may be made only by appointment with the

Medical Center Engineering Officer.

C. All employees of General Contractor and subcontractors shall comply with VA security management program and obtain permission of the VA police, be identified by project and employer, and be restricted from unauthorized access.

D. Prior to commencing work, General Contractor shall provide proof that a

OSHA designated “competent person” (CP) (29 CFR 1926.20(b)(2) will maintain a presence at the work site whenever the General or subcontractors are present.

E. Training:

1. All employees of General Contractor or subcontractors shall have the

10-hour or 30-hour OSHA Construction Safety course and other relevant competency training, as determined by COR acting as the

Construction Safety Officer, with input from the facility

Construction Safety Committee.

2. Submit training records of all such employees for approval before the start of work.
