1.3 STATEMENT OF BID ITEM(S)

A. ITEM I, RENOVATE DIALYSIS: ARCHITECTURAL SCOPE

1. Work includes demolition of the current space as necessary per the construction drawings and general construction, alterations, and necessary removal of existing structures and construction and certain other items.

2. This project is located within the Northport VA Medical

Center, Building 200, Northport NY. The project involves all design work and construction administration services needed to support the Renovation of the Dialysis Unit.

3. The existing Dialysis Unit currently is a combination of waiting room, outpatient exams, check-in areas, and administrative offices.

4. This Project includes renovation of approximately 5,330 square feet of existing space located at the third floor of the main hospital building (Building 200). Approximately 60% of this space was previously demolished and partially constructed for clinical space. The scope of work includes consideration of the existing utilities and work, including assessing the capability of the existing 1 year old RO water plant to meet the needs of the new design. This design will include a phasing plan to maintain operations, including but not limited to provisions for temporary water supply during commissioning of new clinical space.

5. Technical disciplines include but are not limited to architecture, fire protection engineering, interior design, structural engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, health facility planning, industrial hygiene, scheduling, and cost estimating. The design will comply with

VA-adopted codes and standards including VA Directives, Design

Manuals, Master Construction Specifications, Design Criteria and other Guidance on the Technical Information Library

(http://www.cfm.va.gov/til/).

http://www.cfm.va.gov/til/

01 00 00 -3

6. The renovation includes abatement of all hazardous materials and demolition of all existing utilities deemed not reusable and architectural features within the project area. The design may include areas existential to the footprint for mechanical and service systems.

7. Demolition of the existing project area includes, but is not limited to the removal of finishes, fixtures, interior walls, ceilings (to the upper floor slab and penetrations), lighting, electrical distribution, HVAC equipment, medical gas systems, fire/alarm systems, IT systems (to include BMS) and any existing/abandoned plumbing/mechanical piping.

8. The Hospital services will remain unchanged throughout construction. The Pettit Team will be responsible for appropriate phasing of the project to minimize impact to adjacent clinics, existing offices, permit safe passage and circulation, and minimize infection control requirements. The

Pettit Team will design and show all infection control / dust prevention measures required.

9. For all VA active systems under a maintenance contract, the buildout is to be completed by the prime contractor. Tie-ins are part of the GC’s contract; the prime contractor is to hire

VA maintenance contractor for final tie-in and acceptance to ensure warranties can remain in effect without conflict. The prime contractor is responsible for all programming, as well as infrastructure build-out and equipment make ready. This would include all temporary installation & removal within the construction/contract area, so areas are not damaged by others. The prime contractor can perform the work themselves, subcontractors, or hire the VA maintenance contractor directly.

10. The VA will be responsible for the temporary installation, operation, and emergency response portion with the temporary rented/leased DI water equipment/system only; Dialysis service will coordinate creating a purchase order for this temporary

01 00 00 -4 equipment. The prime contractor is not responsible for managing healthcare operations within their contract.

11. All Med-Gas devices, system tie-ins are to be performed by the prime contractor and these costs are to be covered under this contract at no additional cost to the Government. The prime contractor is responsible for contracting directly with the VA’s vendor tie-ins. The VA med-gas maintenance contractor will take over the handoff after final connections and monitor all system additions after connection.

12. Contractor to remove/relocate existing patient lifts from the construction area (see phasing plan). Contractor to turn over all removed components to the Government. Contractor to deliver safely removed components to a storage room located at

Northport Facility; Building / Room are to be determined & coordinated with the Government.

B. ITEM II, RENOVATE DIALYSIS: ELECTRICAL WORK:

1. Existing Conditions

a. A survey to document the existing electrical conditions within the area of work has been conducted by a third-party

MEP firm. This survey and a confirming survey investigating the branch panelboard’s source are the bases of our electrical design for this project. The facility’s essential electrical systems are broken into two branches:

life safety and critical. Current codes require three branches: life safety, critical, and equipment. Separation of the Essential Electrical Systems is outside the scope for this project. Both critical and equipment loads will be connected to the existing critical branch.

2. Demolition

a. Existing electrical devices, lighting fixtures, connections, wiring and conduit in the area of renovation will be demolished back to the source of power. The existing electrical panelboards will be removed in phase 1.

01 00 00 -5

Branch circuits feeding later phases will be backfed by new panelboards until they are demolished in phases 2, 2A and 3

3. New Work

a. The electrical systems and devices will be designed in accordance with the VA Electrical and Lighting Design

Manuals. Existing electrical loads will be determined to insure adequate power availability. New panelboard installations will be reviewed, along with adequate spare capacity. Documentation for de-energized work or shutdown impact to be determined for all panelboard work.

b. The building’s original normal and critical branch circuit panelboards in the space will be replaced in kind and reserved for the connection of existing loads. Two new panels for normal and critical loads will be provided for the new loads. In the penthouse, the existing motor control center will be utilized to feed the new rooftop equipment. In addition, a critical 208Y/120V panel in the penthouse will be replaced to allow for the addition of circuit breakers to serve new heat tracing.

c. As part of the mechanical design, a new roof top air handling unit is being provided. The largest mechanical load is the supply fan portion of the air handling unit consisting of two 5HP fans. An existing air handling unit currently supply the dialysis suite will be demolished as part of this project.

d. Specific information on the electrical systems is below:

1) Fire Alarm

a) New fire alarm initiation and notification devices will be provided throughout the areas of renovation and will be connected to the existing fire alarm system. An additional NAC booster panel will be required.

1) Single Duct Air Terminal Units: New VAV boxes are proposed for all spaces based on VA design requirements and ASHRAE requirements for zoning. A maximum of three spaces will be connected to a single VAV box. All VAV boxes will have an integral sound attenuator (if required) and hot water reheat coil on the discharge.

2) Exhaust Fans: No new exhaust fans are proposed at this time. All exhaust ductwork will be connected to the

01 00 00 -11 existing exhaust mains located above the ceiling. The existing exhaust fans will have capacity for the exhaust airflow requirements of the project after removal of the existing exhaust grilles.
