STATEMENT OF WORK

Correct Water Infiltration in Modular Building TT54 and Building Corridors 1- 3, & 60

#549-17-108 Veterans Affairs North Texas Health Care System (VANTHCS)

DALLAS, TEXAS 75216

GENERAL SCOPE OF WORK:

Provide all labor, materials, tools and equipment, and design-build services necessary to design and provide directions specific tasks to accomplish the project as described below. The project will be a design build project, the contractor/architect will correct water infiltration, correct deficiencies, and repair water damage to connecting corridor and perform remediation work of modular building TT54 due to water infiltration as well as restore and renovate exterior and interior space for safe occupational and functional use. All investigative reports and drawings will be provided for review. The contractor will incorporate findings and provide full set of drawings and specifications at 65%, 95% and 100% review. The review period will allow for two weeks for the government review before incorporating any changes or corrections. The contractor team will inspect the connecting corridor envelope located near the modular building TT54, investigate all possible avenues of water diversion from existing modular building roof drains as well as intersecting corridor roof and other possible avenues of entry. The contractor will develop a schedule, which may include phasing to accomplish tasks. The purpose of this project is to correct or create the path for water to run off away from the intersecting corridor roof and the modular building to existing storm drains. This will also include the inspection all gutters and down spouts which may have to be repaired, replaced, or added. Drains are all to be tested to ensure that they are open to mains. Clean and re-seal all wall penetrations inside and outside of buildings. Install waterproofing materials as appropriate on exterior walls at the subsurface levels.

All work will take place within the footprint of the connecting corridor for buildings 1, 3, 60 and adjacent modular building TT54. The connecting corridor is active and work disruption will be kept to a minimum. All work will take place during regular day shift.

The work shift will be 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except for federal holidays. No work will be performed during the holidays or weekends, unless cleared with the COR. Contractor may use a small storage container and set at a location designated by the COR. Parking for workers will be in the remote southeast gravel lot.

The contractor may have one vehicle near the work site for transportation of materials and personnel. All other vehicle will be parked in south remote parking.

Design shall be based on Veterans Affairs (VA) criteria and specifications as found at https://www.cfm.va.gov/TIL/, As-Built Drawings to be provided: One (1) Large Scale Drawing, two (2) ½ size drawings, and 1 CDs with specifications using the latest version of AutoCAD.

BACKGROUND:

The project is located at 4500 S Lancaster Rd., Dallas, TX 75216. Building TT54 and Intersecting Corridor for Building 1, 3 and 60 are located on the VANTHCS hospital grounds next to the north perimeter road. The water infiltration is mainly concentrated in the corridor intersection between building No. 1 and 60. TT54 is a 50’ W X 102’-7” L modular building that is located adjacent to and at the West Side of this corridor intersection. See attached highlighted site plans, pictures, and building layout. Building TT54 has received water damage that requires remediation and renovation to make it habitable. All drawings are diagrammatic. The contractor will be responsible for field verification.

STATEMENT OF PROJECT ACTIVITIES:

There will be remediation required and build back required in some areas due to water damage. During the remediation period the contractor shall be responsible for the protection of affected areas of building(s) the contractor will maintain a negative air environment to ensure no contaminants spread throughout active areas. A/C units will be protected as well to ensure no mold or other growth affects upper floors. The JV team shall take measures to keep employees, veterans and visitors from injury while performing any abatement or cleanup work. The contractor team shall cordon off areas and post signage where work will be performed and will coordinate with the COR on all activities. The contractor will take all precautions so that noise, construction dust or debris is not released into the areas where guest are located. If this does occur the contractor shall immediately clean up area so that debris is not disbursed to the other areas. The contractor shall comply with all OSHA, ICRA, and fire and safety regulations during the performance of work. The contractor will provide a work schedule and will notify the COR when moving to new work areas. This project work will be performed per OSHA 1910 and 1926, workers must be trained in proper mold remediation.

Contractors must have Certified Mold Remediator Certification (CMR) and wear proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) required to perform interior work.

The contractor team is to submit samples of waterproofing material that may be used to permanently seal all voids in the walls at the subsurface levels. Submit sample of down spouts, rain gutters and drains. All areas where water is leaving building structure (roof, down spouts etc.) will be diverted to provide correct drainage away from building.

Contractor will warranty all workmanship and labor for a period of 1 yr. from the time contract is complete. In addition, the contractor will provide equipment or material warranties from the manufactures as provided.

The anticipated cost range for this project is between $1,000,000.00 and $2,000,000.00. Work is to be completed 270 days after the NTP.

The contractor team will use fill dirt to bring surface level to maintain slope to drain away runoff where possible. Where this is not feasible the contractor will consider various methods to include but not limited to berms, dry wells, grading, swells, and French drain systems to divert water away from buildings.

All existing drains both interior and exterior will be inspected and tested to ensure that water will flow to main storm drains.

The contractor team shall install as many landscape drains grates necessary to provide removal of surface water. The contractor will provide a proposed drawing conveying where system will be connected and how it will remove water away from building structure. Contractor to provide submittal sample of materials that may be used e.g.

perforated pipe, geotextile fabrics, grates, gravel, grasses, and concrete.

Landscape redone to correct slope, drainage or otherwise damaged areas will be repaired with a drought resistant sod such as Bermuda, St. Augustine or Zoysia.

The contractor team will inspect all facia boards behind gutters and replace all damaged, broken, or rotted material.

The contractor team will re-seal and caulk all expansion joints of buildings.

The contractor team will paint all surfaces and submit color samples for approval.

The contractor team will install all new ceiling tiles in existing grid any damage ceiling grids will be replaced, contractor to verify.

One week’s notification will be given prior to specific areas needing to be closed off to through traffic. The contractor team will use an approved work schedule of anticipated tasks to be performed. Contract will start with a kick-off-meeting, at which time the notice to proceed (NTP) will be issued. The contractor team shall keep a project log of daily activities, and submittal log.
