Summary of Bid Documents for Building 143 Lobby Renovation
This is a comprehensive set of 100% Construction Documents (Bid Documents) for the renovation of Building 143 basement lobby and corridor spaces at Salem VA Medical Center, with a total project scope of approximately 17,500 square feet. The project (No. 658-24-104, Solicitation No. 36C24626B0027) is being solicited by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 6. The renovation includes demolition and reconstruction of lobby areas (CB-5, CB-11), corridors (CB-15, CB-45, CG-25), restrooms, a café space (BA-102), consultation rooms, and waiting areas, with work sequenced across four phased construction periods totaling approximately 365 days. All demolition and construction activities must occur during off-hours and weekends, with each work segment cleaned and reopened by 7:30 AM to maintain 24/7 hospital operations. The project incorporates strict Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) requirements classified as Class III precautions for Type D major demolition and construction activities in low-risk areas, including temporary barriers, negative air pressure systems with HEPA filtration, dust containment mats, and manometer pressure monitoring.
The architectural and systems design includes new terrazzo epoxy flooring in three patterns, porcelain tile in restrooms, new gypsum board partitions with fire-rated assemblies, suspended acoustical ceiling systems, new finishes (paint, wall tile, vinyl wall protection), expanded restroom facilities with ceiling-hung toilet partitions and grab bars compliant with ADA standards, new casework with solid surface countertops, and new interior lighting with LED fixtures. The project incorporates fire protection sprinkler system modifications (served by existing Standpipe #12 in Zone 6-8), plumbing fixture relocations and new installations (water closets, lavatories, drinking fountains, sinks with thermostatic mixing valves), mechanical system modifications with new diffusers and ductwork connections, and electrical work including new branch circuits, receptacles, lighting controls, and connections for equipment such as automated plumbing sensors and door motors. All work must comply with applicable codes including the 2024 editions of the IBC, IPC, NEC, NFPA standards (101 Life Safety Code, 13 Sprinkler Systems, 14 Standpipe Systems, and 72 Fire Alarm Code), VA Design Manuals, and ADA/ABAAS accessibility standards. Specific deduct alternates are identified for café renovation scope and vinyl wall protection options, and the contractor must coordinate extensively with the facility's infection control, fire safety, and operations teams throughout construction.

Provide active means to prevent airborne dust dispersion into the occupied areas.
Means for controlling minimal dust dispersion may include hand-held HEPA vacuum devices, polyethylene plastic containment, or isolation of work area by closing room door.
Remove or isolate return air diffusers to avoid dust from entering the HVAC system.
Remove or isolate the supply air diffusers to avoid positive pressurization of the space, If work area is contained, then it must be neutrally to negatively always pressurized.
Seal all doors with tape that will not leave residue.
Contain all trash and debris in the work area.
Nonporous/smooth and cleanable containers (with a hard lid) must be used to transport trash and debris from the construction areas. These containers must be damp-wiped cleaned and free of visible dust/debris before leaving the contained work area.
Install an adhesive (dust collection) mat at entrance of contained work area based on facility policy. Adhesive mats must be changed routinely and when visibly soiled.
Maintain clean surroundings when area is not contained by damp mopping or HEPA vacuuming surfaces.

Construct and complete critical barriers meeting NFPA 241 requirements including: Barriers must extend to the ceiling or, if ceiling tile is removed, to the deck above, and all penetrations through the barrier shall meet the appropriate fire rating requirements.
All (plastic or hard) barrier construction activities must be completed in a manner that prevents dust release.
Plastic barriers must be effectively affixed to ground and ceiling and secure from movement or damage. Apply tape that will not leave a residue to seal gaps between barriers, ceiling or floor.
Seal all penetrations in containment barriers, including floors and ceiling, using approved materials (UL schedule firestop if applicable for barrier type).
Containment units or environmental containment units (ECUs) approved for Class IV precautions in small areas totally contained by the unit and that has HEPA-filtered exhaust air.
Remove or isolate return air diffusers to avoid dust entering the HVAC system.
Remove or isolate the supply air diffusers to avoid positive pressurization of the space.
Negative airflow pattern must be maintained from the entry point to the anteroom and into the construction area. The airflow must cascade from outside to inside the construction area. The entire construction area must remain negatively pressurized.
Maintain negative pressurization of the entire workspace by use of HEPA exhaust air systems directed outdoors. Exhaust discharged directly to the outdoors that is 25 feet or greater from entrances, air intakes and windows does not require HEPA-filtered air.
If exhaust is directed indoors, then the system must be HEPA filtered. Prior to start of work, HEPA filtration must be verified by particulate measurement as no less than 99.97% efficiency and must not alter or change airflow/pressure relationships in other areas.
Exhaust into shared or recirculating HVAC systems, or other shared exhaust systems (e.g., bathroom exhaust) is not acceptable.
Install device on exterior of work containment to continually monitor negative pressurization. To assure proper pressure is continuously maintained, it is recommended that the device(s) have a visual pressure indicator.
Contain all trash and debris in the work area.
Nonporous/smooth and cleanable containers (with a hard lid) must be used to transport trash and debris from the construction areas. These containers must be damp-wiped cleaned and free of visible dust/debris before leaving the contained work area.
Worker clothing must be clean and free of visible dust before leaving the work area. HEPA vacuuming of clothing or use of cover suits is acceptable.

Construct and complete critical barriers meeting NFPA 241 requirements including: Barriers must extend to the ceiling, or if ceiling tile is removed, to the deck above, and all penetrations through the barrier shall meet the appropriate fire rating requirements.
All (plastic or hard) barrier construction activities must be completed in a manner that prevents dust release.
Plastic barriers must be effectively affixed to ground and ceiling and secure from movement or damage.
Apply tape that will not leave a residue to seal gaps between barriers, ceiling or floor.
Seal all penetrations in containment barriers, anteroom barriers, including floors and ceiling using approved materials (UL schedule firestop if applicable for barrier type).
Construct anteroom large enough for equipment staging, cart cleaning, workers. The anteroom must be constructed adjacent to entrance of construction work area.
Personnel will be required to wear disposable coveralls at all times during Class V work activities. Disposable coveralls must be removed before leaving the anteroom.
Remove or isolate return air diffusers to avoid dust entering the HVAC system.
Remove or isolate the supply air diffusers to avoid positive pressurization of the space.
Negative airflow pattern must be maintained from the entry point to the anteroom and into the construction area. The airflow must cascade from outside to inside the construction area. The entire construction area must remain negatively pressurized.
Maintain negative pressurization of the entire workspace using HEPA exhaust air systems directed outdoors.
Exhaust discharged directly to the outdoors that is 25 feet or greater from entrances, air intakes and windows do not require HEPA-filtered air.
If exhaust is directed indoors, then the system must be HEPA filtered. Prior to start of work, HEPA filtration must be verified by particulate measurement as no less than 99.97% efficiency and must not alter or change airflow/pressure relationships in other areas.
Exhaust into shared or recirculating HVAC systems, or other shared exhaust systems (bathroom exhaust) is not acceptable.
