STATEMENT OF WORK

WATER DAMAGE REMEDIATION

WAGNER SERVICE UNIT, GREAT PLAINS AREA INDIAN HEALTH SERVICE

WAGNER, SD

This project is located at the Wagner Indian Health Service Clinic in Wagner, SD. The scope of this project is to remediate the water damage in the lower level at the Wagner Clinic that occurred during a heavy rain event in June of 2024.

Water flooded the basement during a heavy rain even, causing damage to dry-wall, insulation, and paint. These items need to be remediated, and testing in the area for infectious growth needs to be done.

Justification: Remediation of the previously flooded basement at the Wagner Health Center is crucial to ensure the health, safety, and structural integrity of the clinic. Some of the key reasons for immediate action are:

• Prevention of Structural Damage: Water can weaken the foundation and structural elements. Prolonged exposure to moisture and dampness can lead to cracks in the foundation, warping of floors, and erosion of load-bearing walls, risking the stability of the foundation.

• Mold and Mildew Growth: Flooding creates an ideal environment for mold and mildew growth, which can occur within 24-48 hours. Mold spores not only damage the foundation but also pose serious health risks, such as respiratory issues, allergies, and other illnesses.

• Health and Safety Hazards: Water and damp conditions may lead to contamination from bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. This can create unsafe working conditions and increase the risk of disease.

• Electrical and Fire Risks: Dampness in the basement can affect electrical systems, leading to short circuits if the wiring is compromised. Remediation ensures that the area is properly dried and that electrical components are inspected and repaired.

All construction shall be in accordance with the most recent publications of the National Electric Code, National Fire Codes, AIA Guidelines for Construction and Equipment of Hospital and Medical Facilities, IBC, and shall be in accordance with Industry Standards. Electrical connections shall be in accordance with the NEC.

The health facility will be in business during installation, care should be taken to not disturb the programs while the heater is being installed. The work shall be done during normal business hours 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM any changes shall be approved by the facility manager.

The performance period of this project shall be 90 days.

Equipment and techniques used during the remediation shall not cause any damage to the structure or surrounding grounds. At the conclusion of the project the affected space shall be clean and free of all debris.
