Background and Objective: In 2009, the Department of Veterans Affairs issued Task Order VA243-P-0222, Project 630-09-112 to KBA Engineering to provide Architect-Engineer professional services to design and prepare design documents for the cleaning of the Brick Façade of VA Medical Center New York Campus Buildings 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. These buildings were built beginning in the early 1950 s and have accumulated a high degree of dirt and grime over the years. This Brick Façade Cleaning project will bring the buildings back to their original beauty. The designs and other contract documents were prepared by KBA Engineering and must be renewed, refreshed, brought up to current codes, and re-signed and sealed.
