Project No. 528A6-19-604 Upgrade and renovate 6th floor and HVAC B76

Construction Services Statement of Work

Bath VA Medical Center 76 Veterans Avenue Bath, NY 14810

The general scope of this project is to renovate roughly 8,400 square feet of the 6th floor for outpatient mental health clinics. The 6th floor also contains attic space, vertical circulation, and other back of house areas. All existing steam radiators, window AC units, ductwork, registers, grilles, and diffusers in the scope of work area will be demolished and removed from site. The steam radiator piping will be demolished back to the main and capped on the 5th floor below. Air systems solely serving the scope of work area will be demolished completely. Ductwork associated with systems serving other areas of the building in addition to the scope of work area will be demolished back to the duct riser.

The new work shall include but not limited to Architectural, Mechanical, Electrical, and plumbing as specified by the design document, new AHU and all associated work shall be provided and installed. Installation, testing, and commissioning services for new HVAC system to the sixth floor from the attic. The project is interior renovations to the 6th Floor of the existing building. The renovations mainly include the removal of interior non-load bearing walls, ceilings, floor finishes and extensive modifications to the existing mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.

Existing Conditions The B76, 6th floor is comprised of approximately 8,500 square feet of usable clinical space, with the east and west wings consisting of unoccupied attic space and vertical circulation. The existing 6th floor is currently unoccupied.

Construction will include, but is not limited to:

1- General Construction Work

• Coordination with structural revisions to accommodate new mechanical and plumbing systems.

• Support installation of owner-provided equipment where indicated.

• Coordinate removal and legal disposal of all asbestos-containing materials (ACM) on the sixth floor, as identified in the hazardous materials survey. Work must comply with all federal, state, and VA regulations for asbestos abatement, including required notifications, containment, and clearance procedures.

• Contractor shall coordinate closely with VA COR and EHRM teams to ensure alignment of IT/telecom infrastructure if needed.

• All work shall be performed in a manner that minimizes disruption to adjacent areas and ongoing VA operations.

• Work shall comply with Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) requirements.

2- Electrical, Communications, and Electronic Safety and Security

• Removal and replacement of electrical systems as required to support new mechanical equipment and interior layout.

• Installation of new power, lighting, controls, and emergency lighting systems.

• Installation of new telecommunications infrastructure in coordination with VA

EHRM requirements.

• Integration of electronic safety and security systems, including fire alarm modifications, access control, and nurse call as indicated.

• Provide full commissioning of the electrical systems as noted in the specifications, including completing pre-functional documentation, executing contractor testing, supporting detailed performance testing as directed by the Commissioning Agent, and training VA staff on installed system components.

3- Mechanical Work

• Demolition of existing mechanical systems as indicated.

• Providing and installation of new AHU equipment to serve the 6th floor.

• New air distribution system including all the required ductwork and its components as shown in the design documents.

• Installation of all the required hydronic work and components to support the new

AHU and the VAVs serving the 6th floor, as shown in the design documents.

• All the associated HVAC control systems shall be provided and installed by the contractor.

• Coordination of equipment placement with architectural and structural changes.

• Testing, adjusting, and balancing (TAB) of all HVAC systems.

• Enhanced commissioning of all mechanical equipment as required.

• Provide full commissioning of the mechanical systems as noted in the specifications, including participation in inspections, completing prefunctional checklists, performing contractor testing, supporting functional performance testing, and conducting training for VA staff on system operations and maintenance.

4- Plumbing and Fire Protection Work

5- Structural renovation: The structural renovations include the following.

• New floor penetrations through the existing concrete framed floor structure above

(Attic Floor). The openings shall be sized and positioned only to modify the existing concrete slabs which span between concrete joists without structural modifications. These penetrations shall not modify any existing concrete columns, beams, and joists.

• The infill of existing floor penetrations through the existing concrete framed floor structure above (Attic Floor) and below (6th Floor). These penetrations are limited in size and do not require modifications to the existing concrete columns, beams, and joists.

• A new concrete housekeeping slab shall be provided at the new mechanical equipment to be located on the existing Attic Floor.

• New wall penetrations above the Attic Floor are required within the existing exterior masonry construction. These penetrations are required for mechanical requirements and have been identified on the architectural drawings. Galvanized steel angle lintels and masonry enhancements are required at these locations.

• A few new security grills within new wall construction are required. Miscellaneous steel framing has been identified on the architectural drawings.

Safety Measures:

• Review and incorporate risk assessment and interim life safety plans and measures into safety and construction planning.
