This document comprises the 100% Contract Documents for Bidding for Project 657-23-104JC, a site preparation project for a new Computed Tomography (CT) unit at the Veterans Affairs Saint Louis Health Care System, Building 1, Room A259, located at 915 Grand Blvd, Saint Louis, Missouri 63106. The project is scheduled for March 2026 and involves comprehensive renovation and infrastructure upgrades to accommodate a new CT scanning system.

The scope of work encompasses selective demolition of existing partitions, finishes, and MEP systems; installation of new architectural elements including lead-lined gypsum board partitions for radiation shielding (per final VA shielding requirements to be confirmed), new doors and windows with lead-glazed options, and updated finishes including seamless welded vinyl flooring; structural modifications including equipment pads and penetrations for the CT gantry, patient table, heat exchanger, and UPS systems (6,300 lbs, 1,100 lbs, 950 lbs, and 800 lbs respectively); comprehensive MEP upgrades including new HVAC systems with AHU units, ductwork, and terminal units, medical gas outlets (oxygen, air, vacuum), plumbing (domestic water, hot water return, and sanitary piping), fire protection system reconfiguration with new sprinkler heads, electrical service upgrade to a new critical distribution panel with 400-amp capacity, and data/telecommunications infrastructure. The project requires Class IV Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) precautions due to high-risk healthcare facility work with significant dust-generating activities, including temporary construction barriers with negative air pressure monitoring and HEPA filtration. Compliance is mandated with NFPA 101 Life Safety Code (2024), NFPA 13 Fire Sprinkler Standards (2022), VA Seismic Design Requirements, and applicable building codes. The general contractor must coordinate a complex rigging operation for equipment delivery involving temporary removal of exterior curtain wall glazing and mesh sunscreen, with work restricted to off-hours (after 5:00 PM Friday through 6:00 AM Monday) to minimize disruption to hospital operations.
