LOCAL CODES: AS AN AGENCY OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, VA IS NOT SUBJECT TO LOCAL IMPOSITION OF CODE ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES (DRAWING REVIEWS, BUILDING PERMITS, INSPECTIONS, FEES, ETC.). VA MUST FUNCTION AS THE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION (AHJ) AND THUS HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY TO GUARD PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY THROUGH ENFORCING ITS ADOPTED CODES. HOWEVER, LOCAL AUTHORITIES SHOULD BE NOTIFIED ABOUT PLANNED PROJECTS AND GIVEN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW DRAWINGS PROVIDED THAT VA DOES NOT PAY FOR REVIEW OR INSPECTION FEES.

NOTES:

1. NFPA 101 PRIMARILY ADDRESSES LIFE SAFETY AND FIRE PROTECTION FEATURES WHILE THE IBC ADDRESSES A WIDE RANGE OF CONSIDERATIONS, INCLUDING, BUT

NOT LIMITED TO, STRUCTURAL STRENGTH, SEISMIC STABILITY, SANITATION, ADEQUATE LIGHT AND VENTILATION, AND ENERGY CONSERVATION. VA BUILDINGS MUST MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF NFPA 101 AND DOCUMENTS REFERENCED BY NFPA 101 IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH THE ACCREDITATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE JOINT COMMISSION. THEREFORE, DESIGNS SHALL COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE LATEST EDITION OF NFPA 101 AND DOCUMENTS REFERENCED THEREIN.

DESIGN FEATURES NOT ADDRESSED BY NFPA 101 OR DOCUMENTS REFERENCED THEREIN SHALL COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE LATEST EDITION OF THE IBC OR AS OTHERWISE ADDRESSED ABOVE IN THIS PROGRAM GUIDE. FOR DESIGN FEATURES THAT ARE ADDRESSED BY BOTH THE IBC AS WELL AS NFPA 101 OR A DOCUMENT REFERENCED BY NFPA 101, THE REQUIREMENTS OF NFPA 101 OR THE DOCUMENT REFERENCED BY NFPA 101 SHALL BE USED EXCLUSIVELY (THIS APPLIES

EVEN IF THE IBC REQUIREMENTS ARE DIFFERENT).

2. CONFLICTS BETWEEN NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED CODES AND STANDARDS AND VA REQUIREMENTS – SHOULD A CONFLICT EXIST BETWEEN VA REQUIREMENTS AND VA ADOPTED NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED CODES AND STANDARDS, THE CONFLICT SHALL BE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF VA. THE RESOLUTION OF THE CONFLICT SHALL BE MADE BY THE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION FOR VA TO ENSURE A CONSISTENCY SYSTEM WIDE.

1. DRAWINGS ARE PART OF A COMPLETE DOCUMENTS SET. CONTRACTOR SHALL

CONFIRM ALL ITEMS REQUIRED BASED UPON THE OVERALL DESIGN INTENT OF THE

ENTIRE DOCUMENT SET.

2. CONTRACTOR SHALL VERIFY ALL EXISTING CONDITIONS, PRIOR TO BEGINNING ANY

WORK, TO CONFIRM THE ACCURACY OF THE DRAWINGS AND REPORT ANY

DISCREPANCIES TO THE ARCHITECT. DO NOT SCALE THE DRAWINGS. FIELD VERIFY

ALL DIMENSIONS AND EXISTING STRUCTURAL CONDITIONS.

3. ALL AREAS NOT INVOLVED IN THE SCOPE OF WORK FOR THIS PROJECT SHALL BE KEPT

CLEAN AND FREE OF OBSTRUCTIONS AT ALL TIMES.

4. ERECT BARRICADES AND WARNING SIGNS TO DIVERT AND WARN PASSERS-BY OF THE

CONSTRUCTION WORK. PROVIDE DUST PROOFING ENCLOSURES TO SEPARATE WORK

AREAS FROM THE EXISTING FACILITIES.

5. ALL TRASH AND DEBRIS TO BE REMOVED ON A DAILY BASIS.

6. PROVIDE PROTECTION FOR ALL EXISTING SURFACES AND CONDITIONS TO REMAIN IN

PLACE DURING THE SCOPE OF WORK. SHOULD ANY DAMAGE OCCUR, PATCH AND

7. ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO THE BUILDING OR OWNER EQUIPMENT SHALL BE REPAIRED

OR REPLACED BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL CONDITIONS AT NO ADDITIONAL COST TO THE

OWNER.

8. COVER ALL RETURN AIR GRILLES WITHIN THE AREA OF CONSTRUCTION TO PREVENT

PARTICULATE MATERIAL FROM EXHAUSTING INTO SURROUNDING SPACES.

9. APPROPRIATE LIGHT FIXTURES SHALL BE TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED TO PROVIDE

ADEQUATE LIGHTING LEVELS FOR CONSTRUCTION.

10. CONTRACTOR AND SUBCONTRACTORS ARE REQUIRED TO COORDINATE WITH OTHER

DISCIPLINES TO INSTALL COMPLETE AND OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS. DRAWINGS, AS A

WHOLE, REPRESENT A COMPLETE SET AND DEPICT REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPLETE

AND OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS. INDIVIDUAL DRAWINGS MAY NOT DEPICT COMPLETE AND

ACCURATE INFORMATION TO COORDINATE COMPLETE AND OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS,

BUT DO SO AS AN ENTIRE DOCUMENT TO BE REFERENCED WITH OTHER INDIVIDUAL

DRAWINGS. CONTRACTOR AND SUBCONTRACTORS ARE REQUIRED TO REFERENCE

OTHER SHEETS AND SPECIFICATIONS AS AN ENTIRE SET OF CONSTRUCTION

DOCUMENTS THAT REFLECT WORK REQUIRED TO ACHIEVE A COMPLETE AND

OPERATIONAL GOAL. LACK OF COORDINATION AND REVIEW OF DRAWINGS AND

SPECIFICATIONS AS AN ENTIRE DOCUMENT TO INSTALL COMPLETE AND OPERATIONAL

SYSTEMS, BEING OBVIOUS AND TYPICAL INDUSTRY STANDARD, IDENTIFIED IN THE

DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS, SHALL NOT BE IN ANY WAY AN ADDITIONAL COST TO

THE GOVERNMENT.

11. CONTRACTOR SHALL SUBMIT A REQUEST, IN WRITING, TO INTERRUPT ANY SUCH

SERVICES TO COR (CONTRACTING OFFICER’S REPRESENTATIVE) 48 HOURS IN

INTERRUPTIONS OF ANY SYSTEM MUST BE REQUESTED, IN WRITING, AT LEAST 60

CALENDAR DAYS PRIOR TO THE DESIRED TIME AND SHALL BE PERFORMED AS

DIRECTED BY THE COR. MAJOR INTERRUPTIONS SHALL BE COORDINATED WITH OTHER

MAJOR INTERRUPTIONS AND MAY NOT BE SCHEDULED FOR ONE DISCIPLINE MORE

THAN TWICE THROUGHOUT THE OVERALL CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE UNLESS

REQUESTED IN WRITING AND APPROVED BY THE COR. CONTRACTOR WILL BE ADVISED,

IN WRITING, OF APPROVAL OF REQUEST, OR OF WHICH OTHER DATE AND/OR TIME

SUCH INTERRUPTION WILL CAUSE THE LEAST INCONVENIENCE TO OPERATIONS OF

THE MEDICAL CENTER. INTERRUPTION TIME APPROVED BY THE MEDICAL CENTER MAY

OCCUR AT TIMES OTHER THAN CONTRACTOR'S NORMAL WORKING HOURS. SCHEDULE

INTERRUPTION MAY BE ON WEEKENDS OR LATE HOURS AND MAY NOT BE AN

ADDITIONAL COST TO THE GOVERNMENT. COORDINATE ALL INTERRUPTIONS THAT MAY

AFFECT THE NORMAL OPERATION OF THE FACILITY WITH THE COR WHEN SUBMITTING

THE CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE OR UPDATES TO THE CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE.

12. NO ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIALS ARE TO BE USED ON THIS PROJECT. SPUR

DESIGN, THE A/E OF RECORD, CAN CERTIFY THAT NO ASBESTOS CONTAINING

BUILDING MATERIALS (ACBM) OR LEAD BASED PAINT (LBP) PRODUCTS WERE

DESIGNED/SPECIFIED AS BUILDING MATERIAL IN ANY OF THE CONSTRUCTION

DOCUMENTS.

13. REFER TO THE DESIGN BINDER FOR THE ICRA INFORMATION DOCUMENTATION.

14. IN AREAS WHERE THE WINDOW JAMS ARE WALLPAPER, CONTRACTOR IS TO REMOVE

WALLPAPER TO AN IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT PERPENDICULAR WALL AND PAINT TO

MATCH. PAINT TO MATCH IN ALL OTHER AREAS NEAREST ADJACENT PERPENDICULAR

STAINLESS STEEL WOVEN SECURITY MESH.

FACADE FENESTRATION

1. ALL FAÇADE FENESTRATION SHALL BE DESIGNED TO CRACK BUT REMAIN IN THE FRAME IN RESPONSE TO THE CALCULATED PEAK PRESSURES AND IMPULSES

RESULTING FROM THE DESIGN LEVEL VEHICLE THREAT (W1) LOCATED AT MINIMUM STANDOFF DISTANCE OF 50 FEET (15 M), BUT NO GREATER THAN GP2. STANDOFF PROVIDED IN EXCESS OF THE 50 FEET (15 M) OR INCREASED DISTANCES OVER THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING MAY NOT BE ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE CALCULATION OF THE BLAST LOADING ENVIRONMENT. ALTHOUGH NEGATIVE PHASE LOADING SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED, THE EFFECTS OF REBOUND SHALL BE INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN OF BLAST RESISTANT GLAZING. ALL BLAST RESISTANT DESIGN REQUIREMENTS ARE IN ADDITION TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE VA WINDOW SPECIFICATIONS. THE USE OF OPERABLE WINDOWS FOR BLAST RESISTANT DESIGN IS DISCOURAGED; HOWEVER, WHERE OPERABLE WINDOWS ARE REQUIRED, THEIR PERFORMANCE MUST BE DEMONSTRATED WITH ACCEPTABLE EXPLOSIVE (OR SHOCK TUBE) TEST DATA WHILE IN THE OPEN POSITION.

FOR WINDOWS WITH GLAZING LAY-UP GOVERNED BY NON-BLAST REQUIREMENTS (HURRICANE, FORCED ENTRY, FABRICATION, HANDLING, AND BALLISTIC), MULLIONS ARE TO BE DESIGNED FOR THE CAPACITY OF THE GLAZING THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO MEET THE BLAST

REQUIREMENTS ONLY.

4. CURTAINWALL: CURTAINWALL FRAMING MEMBERS SHALL SPAN FROM SLAB TO SLAB AND SHALL NOT BE ATTACHED DIRECTLY TO GRAVITY LOAD BEARING ELEMENTS (SUCH AS COLUMNS AND SHEAR WALLS) UNLESS AN ADVANCED ANALYSIS OF THE LOAD BEARING ELEMENT DEMONSTRATES IT CAN ACCEPT THE MAXIMUM BLAST FORCES TRANSFERRED BY THE MEMBERS FRAMING INTO IT WITHOUT COMPROMISING ITS LOAD BEARING CAPACITY.
