1.15 TESTS

A. As per specification section 23 05 93 the contractor shall provide a written testing and commissioning plan complete with component level, equipment level, sub-system level and system level breakdowns. The plan will provide a schedule and a written sequence of what will be tested, how and what the expected outcome will be. This document will be submitted for approval

SECTION 01 00 10

MEDICAL CENTER REQUIREMENTS

1.0 GENERAL INTENTION: This document pertains to station policy for construction projects performed at the Harry S Truman Memorial

Veterans' Hospital (HSTMVH) in Columbia, MO. Safety and health concerns are taken seriously at this facility. Both our staff and yours are expected to strictly adhere to the regulations and requirements. This is exceedingly important, since we must be primarily concerned for the safety of our patients. In this regard, OSHA Standards may protect worker safety and health, but they have minimal benefit for protecting the safety and health of our patients, due primarily to their differing medical conditions. Review this information as orientation with your personnel performing work on site. Where the requirements as outlined in this and Section 01 00 00 are differing, the more stringent shall apply.

2.0 REQUIREMENTS:

A. Security:

1. Secure all construction areas, especially mechanical and electrical rooms against entry of unauthorized individuals including patients.

2. Notify the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) for permission to work after hours and weekends. Standard work hours for this project will be Monday through Friday from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm.

B. Key Security:

1. Only a limited number of keys will be issued to the contractor.

2. See SECTION 01 00 00 for keying procedures.

3. Ensure all doors leading to and from construction are either monitored or locked to prevent access to the area from unauthorized persons.

C. General Safety:

1. Follow all federal, state and local safety and health regulations.

2. Maintain safety in the construction site/area in accordance with the provisions of the contract that includes the Occupational Safety and

Health Administration (OSHA) Regulations; National Electrical Codes;

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70, National Electric

Code; and NFPA 101, Life Safety Code. Work in a safe manner and take all proper precautions while performing your work. Extra precautions

01 00 10-2 shall be taken when working around persons occupying the building during construction.

3. Provide Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for your employees.

4. Post appropriate signs in specific hazardous areas.

5. Keep tools, ladders, etc., away from patients to prevent injuries.

D. Safety Inspections: The professional Occupational Safety and Health staff at this facility will perform safety inspections of all contract operations. Written reports of unsafe practices or conditions will be reported to the COR and CO for immediate attention and resolution.

E. Fire Alarms:

1. The fire alarm system connects all buildings at this facility, and is activated by various heat, duct, manual pull stations and smoke sensors. Manual pull stations are provided at each entrance. Please survey the area in which you are working to locate the manual pull stations.

2. In the event of a fire alarm sounding, you are to remain in your area, unless medical center personnel (Safety, Nursing or

Engineering) instruct otherwise, or unless a fire situation is in your area, in which case you should immediately evacuate.

3. Any work involving the fire protection systems will require written permission to proceed from the COR. Do not tamper with or otherwise disturb any fire alarm system components without prior written permission. To do so without written permission will result in an adverse action.

F. Hazardous Materials:

1. Many of the operations you are scheduled to perform may involve the use of hazardous materials. Prior to locating hazardous materials on site, all Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) will be submitted through the COR for evaluation by the facility Safety Officer.

2. Storage of hazardous materials within buildings will be minimal with only enough on hand to perform daily work tasks. Flammable materials will either be removed from buildings at the end of the work shift or stored in approved flammable storage containers.

3. Care must be taken to ensure adequate ventilation to remove vapors of hazardous materials in use. Many of the patients being cared for in the facility are susceptible to environmental contaminants, even when odors seem minimal. You will isolate those areas where vapors

01 00 10-3 are produced, and ventilate to the most extent possible to reduce the number of complaints.

G. Airborne Dust Control During Construction:

1. Generation of dust is of major concern within staff and especially in patient occupied buildings. Where operations involve the generation of dust, all efforts will be directed at reducing airborne generated dust to the lowest level feasible. This may be accomplished by a number of methods.
