Project Manual Summary – ABTU Window Replacement

This is a project manual for the Colorado Department of Human Services, Division of Facilities Management, Southern District, for the ABTU Window Replacement project (Project Number 17-S-45-AWR) at the Colorado Mental Health Institute – Pueblo, Building 137. The project involves the installation of interior accessory windows (IAWs) and associated glazing components to provide interior security upgrades and enhance sound, energy, air, and light control of existing weather-tight windows. The specifications require aluminum-framed windows with laminated security glazing featuring integral Venetian blinds, manufactured to industry standards including AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440. The manual establishes detailed technical requirements for window design, including wind load capacity of 10 psf positive and negative, air infiltration limits not exceeding 0.3 cfm per square foot, and simulated human impact testing at 2,000 foot-pounds to ensure security performance. The base bid manufacturer is Wausau Window and Wall Systems (2187-DT S.E.A.L. Series), with provisions for substitutions from other qualified manufacturers meeting specified performance requirements. All windows are to be factory-glazed with 7/16" laminated security glass and include a hinged access panel with Allen locks and integral one-inch aluminum slat blinds in white. The contractor must submit a ten-year, non-prorated warranty directly from the manufacturer covering defective materials or workmanship.

The project manual incorporates comprehensive security, operational, and environmental protocols mandated for work at a psychiatric healthcare facility. Contractors must comply with DFM Security Instructions, including background checks for all employees within five working days prior to site arrival, personal searches upon entry to security perimeter areas, and adherence to strict contraband restrictions prohibiting weapons, drugs, tobacco, cameras, and other items deemed detrimental to facility operations. Pre-construction infection control risk assessments are required, with contractors responsible for implementing appropriate containment measures based on project scope and risk level, from basic dust control (Category 1) to full HVAC isolation with anteroom procedures (Category 4). All construction work must follow CMHIP emergency procedures and fire safety protocols, maintain interim life safety measures when required, and comply with the facility's tobacco-free environment policy. Contractors are responsible for hazardous materials management, including identification, labeling, proper storage, and disposal of construction waste. The facility maintains 24/7 Department of Public Safety oversight, and contractors must maintain constant awareness of patient safety protocols, avoid fraternization with patients, immediately report missing tools or security breaches, and coordinate daily with unit charge nurses regarding work areas and utility shutoffs.

5. SECURITY RULES AND REGULATIONS:

The following Rules and procedures will apply to all Contractors and their employees working at the Facility.

If the job site is within a Security Perimeter Area actively housing a secured population, the assistance provided has limitations. Contractors are obligated to abide by the rules, regulations, and procedures of the Facility. The rules and regulations of the Facility take precedence if an emergency situation develops.

All rules have been enacted for the purpose of protecting the public and providing a safe and secure environment of care.

These are the two most important rules to remember:

When in doubt, ask an Officer or Project Manager, and the Officer or Project Manager on duty will enforce the rules according to policy.

All Security and Contraband Rules and procedures will apply to all Contractors and their employees working at the Facility.

6. PERSONAL SEARCH;

A. All construction personnel entering a Security Perimeter Area will be required to submit to a personal search, which may be conducted electronically, or “hands on” by the officer on duty. Each employee maybe required to sign a “Consent to Search” form. This form allows a search of any person or any articles in the Contractor’s or worker’s possession to be searched. If there is reason to suspect that a person is attempting to introduce contraband into the facility, that person will be denied access to the facility. Arrest and Criminal Prosecution may result.

B. All Contractor/Employee vehicles, tools, and equipment brought onto State property are subject to search at any time for alcohol and other listed contraband.

7. RESTRICTIONS:

A. No drinking of intoxicants allowed prior to entering State property, no drinking of intoxicants while on State property and no intoxicants will be allowed in any worker’s possession, including their vehicle.

E. No guests are authorized on State property unless properly cleared by the Project Manager. Unauthorized guests will be escorted from the Facility.

F. Cameras are not allowed on site nor photographs taken, except by written approval of Owner in the area of the Work. Photograph taking may be cleared by a DFM Representative only after previously obtaining approval. Judgment will be made by DFM Representative regarding type of escort necessary. The appropriate DFM Representatives to contact for clearance will be Mr. Jim Beach, Mr. Brian Caruso, or Mr.

Greg Trujillo.

G. Mandatory obedience to orders: It is expected that all workers will mandatory follow the orders of the officers on duty. Oftentimes a situation may be developing that an “outsider” does not perceive while an officer will. The “view” of the officer is based upon experience and training and cannot be taken lightly.

H. No activity will be conducted for any inmate or patient that would be in violation of facility rules, i.e. making phone calls, providing cigarettes, money, stamps, etc. Inmates and patients have access to all mail facilities and the phone during specified periods. There is absolutely no reason to take anything in or out of the facility on behalf of an inmate or patient.

SECTION – ENVIRONMENT OF CARE

POLICY NO. 32.00

Effective Date: 10/14/15

TITLE: TOBACCO-FREE ENVIRONMENT

This replaces CMHIP policy 32.00, dated 11/12/14.

PLEASE NOTE: This policy supersedes all hospital, program and department policies referencing tobacco or smoking.

It is the policy of the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo (CMHIP) to prohibit smoking and the use or sale of any tobacco products on the CMHIP campus.

As a health care facility committed to the health and safety of staff, patients, physicians, visitors, and business associates, CMHIP is taking a leadership role on the major public health issue of tobacco use. To promote CMHIP’s commitment to public health and safety and to reduce the health and safety risks to those served and employed at CMHIP, all CMHIP facilities, campuses, state vehicles, and properties are tobacco-free environments. No smoking of cigarettes, electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), cigars, or pipes or use of chewing tobacco in any form or any other tobacco product is permitted in facilities or on properties of CMHIP.

This policy is applicable to all State employees on the CMHIP campus (see map on page 5) whether they are employees of CMHIP or other agencies and includes medical staff, visitors, students, volunteers, vendors, lessees and contractors. This policy is applicable to all inpatients and outpatients.

A ban on tobacco does not take away an individual's rights as there is no “right to smoke” in Colorado. CMHIP does not require staff, patients or visitors to stop using tobacco; however, it is required that people do not smoke or use other tobacco products on this hospital campus or during work time.

The purpose of this policy is to describe how the tobacco-free workplace requirements will be implemented.

DEFINITIONS

Tobacco Products – Cigarettes (including electronic cigarettes [e-cigarettes], personal vaporizers [PVs], electronic nicotine delivery systems [ENDS], pipes, pipe tobacco, tobacco substitutes [e.g., clove cigarettes], chewing tobacco, cigars, dissolvable tobacco products [e.g., orbs (mints)], sticks [toothpicks], strips [product that looks like breath strips, etc.]).

Tobacco Paraphernalia – combustible material is contraband unless authorized (see CMHIP policy 32.12, Declaration of Contraband).

Workplace – CMHIP workplace means facilities or properties including, but not limited to, patient care buildings, clinics, facilities, office buildings, parking lots, CMHIP or State-owned vehicles, or property leased or rented out to other entities. This policy

TOBACCO-FREE ENVIRONMENT POLICY NO.32.00 PAGE 2

applies regardless of whether a CMHIP facility or property is owned and whether or not the other tenants follow similar guidelines. Employees and patients at off-site patient activities shall not use tobacco products.

It is the responsibility of all staff members to enforce the hospital's tobacco-free environment policy by encouraging their colleagues, patients, visitors and others to comply with the policy. Supervisors are responsible for implementing and enforcing CMHIP’s Tobacco-Free Environment policy.

The community, staff, patients and visitors will be informed of the policy through a variety of communication methods.

A. General Policy Provisions

1. No tobacco products, related paraphernalia such as lighters, matches, or products that give the appearance or could be construed as tobacco products by other staff members or patients (e.g., mint chew/snuff) shall be used, sold or bartered anywhere on the CMHIP campus (see map on page 5) and may be stored only in locked personal vehicles.

This restriction also applies to electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), personal vaporizers (PV) or electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS). These devices provide the appearance of smoking and some may have associated health risks and contain detectable levels of carcinogens and toxic chemicals. Currently, there is no scientific evidence that these devices are safe alternatives to smoking.

2. Signs declaring this hospital campus "tobacco free" shall be posted at the hospital campus entrances and other conspicuous places.

3. Hospital employees and other State employees who work on the CMHIP campus will be advised of the provisions of this policy during New Employee Orientation.

4. The hospital will post this policy in employee common areas and in the CMHIP New Employee Orientation Handbook.

5. Tobacco products and paraphernalia are contraband and are not allowed in the buildings on the CMHIP campus. Tobacco products and paraphernalia may be stored only in an employee’s locked personal vehicle. Smoking in personal vehicles on State property is prohibited.

6. Smoking is prohibited in CDHS vehicles.

B. State Employees, Volunteers, Physicians, Students and Contract Workers

1. Respectful enforcement of this policy is the responsibility of all CMHIP employees.

2. State employees, students, medical staff, volunteers, vendors, lessees and contractors are expected to comply with this policy.

3. This policy will be explained to new employees during New Employee Orientation.

TOBACCO-FREE ENVIRONMENT POLICY NO.32.00 PAGE 3

4. Job announcements for all positions on the CMHIP campus will display a notice that CMHIP has a tobacco-free work environment policy.

5. Employees are prohibited from smoking or using other tobacco products during any and all parts of their paid work shift excluding breaks. Employees may not smoke or use other tobacco products in their private vehicles while the vehicle is on CMHIP grounds.

6. Employees who encounter staff or visitors who are violating the tobacco policy are encouraged to politely explain the policy and report the violation to the staff member’s supervisor, if known.

7. Staff who fail to adhere to this policy or supervisors who fail to hold their employees accountable may be subject to progressive discipline culminating in corrective or disciplinary action as defined in CMHIP, Colorado Department of Personnel and Administration (DPA), CDHS Human Resources and Medical Staff policies.

8. During construction, smoking is prohibited in and adjacent to the construction area. A smoking location near the construction area will be designated by the Safety and Risk Manager (SRM) and employees will be advised by the SRM of the approved smoking area. Construction personnel smoking in a non-designated construction area will be removed from the project.

C. Patients

1. Inpatients and outpatients are prohibited from smoking or using any tobacco product or paraphernalia on campus.

2. All patients admitted to CMHIP will be assessed for history of tobacco use and the need for interventions related to tobacco addiction including nicotine replacement and cessation education.

3. Patients may not possess any tobacco-related items on the unit or on the hospital campus except in the patient’s locked personal vehicle.

4. Employees who encounter patients who are violating the tobacco policy are encouraged to politely explain the policy, and report the violation to the patient’s treatment team, if known.

5. Violation of this policy by patients is a treatment issue to be addressed by the treatment team.

6. When a patient is reintegrating into the community and will be followed by Forensic Community-Based Services (FCBS), use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), personal vaporizers (PV) or electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) will be considered for off-campus use only on a case-by-case basis. In such cases, the following applies:

a. The treatment team must submit a request for a policy waiver to Executive Committee (EC) including the clinical rationale for the request.

b. If approved by EC in conjunction with FCBS case management staff, the patient may use the product only during community re-integration activities and may not use them on the CMHIP campus ever.

TOBACCO-FREE ENVIRONMENT POLICY NO.32.00 PAGE 4

D. Visitors

1. Signs are posted at campus entrances and in selected locations inside and outside of the facility.

SECURITY MANAGEMENT

POLICY NO. 32.13

Effective Date: 11/12/14

TITLE: SEARCHES OF PREMISES, PATIENTS, STAFF AND VISITORS

This replaces policy 32.13, dated 12/12/12.

I. DEFINITION/PURPOSE

It is the policy of Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo (CMHIP) to provide a safe environment for patients, staff and visitors. All individuals and their packages, handbags, vehicles, or other possessions are, therefore, subject to search at any time before being allowed to enter any area of the hospital premises. No one will be permitted to enter the area if, upon Department of Public Safety (DPS) officer or staff request, he/she refuses to allow a search of person, packages, handbag, vehicle or other possessions. The thoroughness of the search is discretionary and will be determined by the nature of the reason for the search and the level of potential risk.

CMHIP respects confidentiality and privacy of patients. Searches will be conducted in a dignified and respectful manner, and in private, when possible. Respect for privacy will not be construed as a right to privacy, however.

The purpose of this policy is to describe when, in the interest of patient, staff and public safety and of further improving security (e.g., the prevention of contraband being introduced into any area, to include patient care and security areas), searches of the premises, staff, visitors and patients are conducted.

II. ACCOUNTABILITY

Individuals responsible for implementing this policy include DPS staff, Program Directors, Admissions and unit staff.

III. PROCEDURE

A. Emergency Searches by DPS

DPS will conduct searches of any area, individuals, packages, handbags, vehicles, or other possessions on the grounds of the CMHIP under the following emergent circumstances:

1. There is probable cause to believe that the search will uncover drugs, weapons and/or contraband determined to be dangerous by the Superintendent, or the individual appointed to act for him/her.

2. The Superintendent, or designee, directs the Chief of DPS, or the Command Officer on duty, to conduct the search, and issues a verbal consent to search at that time.

SEARCHES OF PREMISES, PATIENTS, STAFF AND VISITORS

POLICY 32.13 PAGE 2

B. Searches of Patients at Admission to CMHIP

1. An officer from DPS will thoroughly inspect the patient’s property for weapons and other contraband, and conduct a touch search of patients admitted to CMHIP.

The search will be performed at Admissions in either Building 125 or Building 140 by DPS. DPS will also use a handheld metal detection device (“wand”) during this search. The search will be documented on the Admission Summary, Form 190, page 1of the CMHIP Public Safety section by DPS officers in Admissions.

2. Another search and complete inventory of the patient’s property also will be completed by staff on the units.

3. Searches may include the use of a canine(s) trained in the detection of drugs or other items determined to be dangerous.

C. Searches on Patient Care Units

1. Each CMHIP patient care unit and each area frequented by patients (e.g., Recreation Center, Treatment Mall, waiting areas in ancillary departments) will be searched at least once a month. Searches will be randomly scheduled in order to avoid a detectable pattern emerging. The search will be documented on the CMHIP Unit Search Form (form 1301).

2. Unit staff will search the patient’s belongings when the patient arrives on the unit from Admissions. If unit staff find contraband that went undetected during the search performed in Admissions, they will confiscate the contraband per CMHIP policy 32.12, Declaration of Contraband, and complete an Incident Reporting Form, form 1300.

3. Visitors to patient care units are required to leave items that are not brought for patients (e.g., bags, purses, cell phones, etc.), locked in the trunk of their vehicles or in the storage lockers provided on units. Any personal items brought onto patient care units including jackets and coats will be subject to search by either DPS officers or unit staff. Staff will ask visitors to leave coats in storage lockers;

and to empty their pockets if they wear jackets. Unit staff will post notices of these requirements in areas where visitors enter the premises.

4. Unit staff must search any item brought to patients by visitors before the patient is permitted to keep the item and the item must be documented on the Clothing/Property/Medication Record, form 375. Items brought to the patient may not exceed the maximum number or type of items allowed by the unit for that patient. Items currently in possession of the patient may be exchanged for items brought in by visitors and will be documented on the Clothing/Property/Medication Record, form 375. (See CMHIP policy 18.25, Patient Property.)

5. If linen is missing or has been tampered with at the time of exchange, it will trigger a room search and/or a further inspection of patient linens.

POLICY 32.13 PAGE 3

D. Searches of Patient Rooms

1. Staff may search patient rooms at any time on a routine or emergent basis.

Reasons for an emergent search include, but are not limited to:

• suspected or reported possession of contraband

• suspected illicit drugs, alcohol or tobacco use

• concerns for patient safety and security

• missing property

• tampered with/defective equipment

• missing kitchen/dining utensils

2. Patients will not be permitted to remain in the room when the room is searched.

3. At least two staff will be present when conducting a search of a patient’s room.

4. Searching a patient, patient’s room or belongings is considered a clinical intervention; thus, clinical staff will complete the search and may be assisted by DPS officers. Clinical staff will address any concerns patients might have about searches. DPS officers will assume responsibility for handling and documenting any contraband, including fashioned weapons, illicit drugs, alcohol, stolen property or kitchen/dining utensils. Clinical staff are responsible for removing excess property from the patient’s room if the patient has exceeded the allowable amount and documenting on the Clothing/Property/Medication Record, form 375.

(See CMHIP policy 18.25, Patient Property.)

5. If a patient has envelopes, paper bags or packages containing correspondence from his/her attorney, the patient will be required to empty the contents of the envelope, bag or package in front of staff, who will inspect the contents to see that only papers are contained therein, and not items that the patient might wish to hide from staff.

E. Other Searches

1. In general, room searches are completed when a patient is placed on suicide precautions (Levels I and II) and when the patient is placed in seclusion open door restraint, or forensic restriction. Upon completion of the search, if the patient will not be able to return to his/her room, personal property will immediately be secured (refer to CMHIP policy 18.25, Patient Property).

2. When a patient is transferred to a different unit, both the sending and receiving treatment teams will complete a search of patient and his/her property. Any items not permitted on the receiving unit will be removed from the patient’s possession and secured by the sending team. The property record will be amended to reflect which items were sent with the patient and which were placed in appropriate storage (form 375, per CMHIP policy 18.25, Patient Property).

3. Patients re-admitted to CMHIP from outside hospitalization are required to be seen in Admissions before returning to units. The Admission search procedure is carried out for patients returned from outside hospitalization.

POLICY 32.13 PAGE 4

4. A basic search will include at least a pat down of the person by a DPS unit officer, or if DPS is not available, a staff member of the same gender, including checking pockets (staff should wear gloves), removal and inspection of hats or head coverings and shoes, and checking around waist bands and areas of elastic (including stockings and bras) in the clothing being worn at the time. Staff must make efforts to respect the patient’s privacy and dignity at all times while completing such searches.

5. More thorough searches of persons might include the use of a metal detecting wand. A more thorough search of property might include carefully checking inside the item, e.g., radio, battery compartment, etc., or unit staff viewing DVDs or listening to CDs/audiocassettes prior to making them available to the patient.

Staff will take reasonable care not to damage items during searches.

6. In some circumstances, patients might be subject to removal of clothing and placement in a hospital gown or suicide gown.

7. Staff may be subject to a search when DPS determines it to be warranted. At no time may staff or visitors bring cell phones, audio/video recording devices and cameras onto the Hawkins Building units unless authorized to do so.

8. Refer to CMHIP Policy 14.30, Body Cavity Searches for directions should such a search be required.

F. Inspecting Patient Mail and Searching Packages

1. Letters and packages sent to patients must be opened in the presence of staff, who will verify the contents are not contraband. If prohibited items are detected, staff will confiscate the items, and return the items to the sender at the patient’s expense. Refer to CMHIP policy 32.12, Declaration of Contraband.

2. If the items sent in the package causes the patient to exceed the amount of property allowed on the unit, the items may be returned to sender at the patient’s expense, placed with the patient’s other property, or exchanged for other items in the patient’s possession.

3. All mail addressed to Department of Corrections (DOC) patients will be examined for contraband by the DOC mailroom staff at the San Carlos Correctional Facility before delivery to the Hawkins Building. Money and packages will not be delivered to CMHIP and the DOC patients. If an article is returned to sender or not released to the patient, DOC will be responsible for informing the patient as to why mail was withheld (contraband, no return address, etc.).
