Executive Summary
This project involves the design for interior renovation of an existing Dialysis space to improve the condition of the unit, which is currently undersized, outdated and has functional deficiencies. This project will require use of existing 5W space to be converted into temporary Dialysis clinic while the main space is being renovated.
The primary goal of this project is to fully renovate the existing Dialysis Suite to modernize and right size it to current VA and industry standards. The space shall be designed in a manner that creates efficiency, provides a functional lean flow and allows the maximum amount of dialysis patient care station. The space should also be flexible to serve as an infusion clinic two days/nights a week. The space should be an open plan to allow direct nurse supervision of patients, maximize circulation, include right sized spaces and locate support spaces so they are conveniently accessible.

2. General
a. Demolition
1) Before this project can begin, the existing cabling and infrastructure will have to be documented, a new infrastructure pathway be installed, and new cabling will have to be installed, terminated, tested, and cutover prior to the project starting.
2) There is an EHRM project that is currently going on at this site, and will be updating existing TRs, replacing copper, and fiber optic backbone cables.
b. Firestopping
1) The UL Solutions Qualified Firestop Contractor Program is voluntary and allows contractors to proactively demonstrate their commitment to the proper installation of firestop systems. These contractors have implemented a stringent quality management system that includes a review of project design and construction document requirements;
installation, training, application, and field quality; and documentation and record keeping. A contractor must select and install a firestop system to
April 24, 2025 protect penetrations and joints within fire-resistance-rated walls and horizontal assemblies. The building codes require these breaches to be protected, and the UL Solutions Qualified Firestop
c. Training
1) Training will be specified for any system which incorporates a new technology or system component that is not familiar to the maintenance and support staff presently trained on the existing systems.
3. Telecommunications Pathways and Spaces
a. Interior Spaces

2) A wire basket cable tray system will be installed in all corridors within the areas identified under this scope of work to support voice, data, April 24, 2025 video surveillance, and CATV. Security system and access control system cables will be routed within their own conduit pathway.
a) Nurse Call, fire alarm, overhead paging, and other low voltage systems will use separate dedicated cable supports and/or conduit. Nurse call cabling for code blue applications will be routed in their own separate conduit system. Cable supports will not be supported from the cable tray system. Access control and PACs system cable can be installed in a cable tray segregated from the other systems’ cabling in the tray.
4. Structured Cabling System
a. The telecommunications infrastructure will be a “structured cabling system” designed and installed to ANSI/TIA requirements and the Infrastructure Standard for Telecommunications Spaces (ISTS), Version 4.0, issued by U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs - Office of Information and Technology.
b. A manufacturer’s System Assurance Warranty of at least 20 years will be required for the system.
c. All horizontal cabling (i.e., cabling between the workstations and technology rooms) will be Category 6A, 4-pair unshielded twisted pair cable for all applications. Cabling shall be identical for all applications (i.e., voice and data). All
Category 6A cabling will terminate onto a Modular Patch Panels on equipment racks in the TR’s. All horizontal cabling installed in plenum spaces shall be plenum rated.
d. Horizontal cabling from each Wireless Access Point (WAP) location will consist of two Category 6A, 4-pair unshielded twisted pair cables installed from the nearest TR to an outlet box at each WAP location. Terminate both ends of the cable onto a CAT 6A RJ-45 outlet, green in color onto both ends of the cable at each outlet box enclosure. Snap each outlet onto a 2-Port faceplate, white in color.
e. Each information outlet location will receive two (2) Category 6A jacks (RJ45).
The outlet box will be a typical dual gang backbox with a single gang plaster ring mounted at 18” unless otherwise noted. Special use outlets will be configured per the requirements of the equipment serviced by the outlet (copy machines, printers, wall phones, etc.). Two outlets will be provided for every 50 NSF of programmed space per room. High density WAOs, if required, will have four
RJ45 jacks).
April 24, 2025
f. The system will be required to be fully tested to CAT 6A performance requirements and will be tested at 500 MHz.
g. Labeling and Administration
1) Labeling and administration will be provided for the TIP to include each cable end, patch panel ports, racks, and patch panels. Work area outlets will also be labeled with source TR and patch panel port identifier. All system components will follow the numbering scheme currently used for the facilities on this campus.
