PROJECT NO: 630-22-704

PROJECT NAME: EHRM NextGen WiFi Upgrades New York Harbor Healthcare System

1. GENERAL INTENT:

The Contractor shall furnish all labor, tools, materials and equipment to support installation of new WiFi Access Points at the Margaret Cochran Corbin VA Medical center in Manhattan 423 East 23rd St. New York, NY and at the St Albans medical center located at 179-00 Linden Blvd Queens, NY. Please note that the scope of this work is limited and specifically as listed below.

2. STATEMENT OF WORK:

Provide and install conduit, raceways, horizontal and vertical penetrations, and fire stopping to support NextGen WiFi installation at the New York Harbor healthcare system as shown and described in the project drawings and specifications. A list of required access point locations requiring conduits and/or penetrations are provided as SOW Attachment 1. SOW Attachment 2 and 2A include access point floor plans of the two medical centers.

Work shall include:

1. Installation of 180 WiFi Access Points (WAP s). WAP s will be provided by the VA, but the mounting brackets shall be provided by the Contractor. (154 access points are located at Manhattan campus and 26 at St Albans campus.)

2. Supply and Installation of 600 linear feet of EMT conduit, including junction boxes, pull cords, and fire stopping, throughout the Medical Centers. Existing conduit paths between floors/IT rooms will not have the capacity for more cable and new conduit paths will need to be created. Most AP s will be wired to a telecommunication room on same floor however Manhattan Building 2 and 3, and St. Albans Buildings 89 and 85_86 are exceptions requiring vertical conduit pathways- see attached drawings for details.

Conduit sleeves are required from WAP room locations to corridors. Once in corridor it is expected that cable will travel in existing cable trays. Where cable tray is not present, J-Hooks shall be utilized if existing J-Hooks have not been previously installed or are at capacity. Include pricing for supply and installation of (400) J Hooks. Turnover any unused J-Hooks to VA at end of job.

Where the cables passes through a smoke zone as seen in drawings as a corridor door, provide and install a smoke rated sleeve e.g. EZ Path 44NEZ or equal where existing sleeves don t exist. Also utilize the smoke rated sleeve for all penetrations into telecommunication rooms. Assume Qty (94) to be required, turn over any unused sleeves to VA at end of job.

3. Installation of approximately 36,000 linear feet of CAT 6A cable from APs to nearest IT rooms and terminating in a patch panel. WAP locations and IT room locations are shown on drawings.

4. Infection Control Procedures.

When removing ceiling tiles in corridors and inpatient sleeping rooms, all work must be done within mobile HEPA containment containers. Contractor will be responsible for providing , renting if needed, and transporting such containers. A minimum of two HEPA carts will be required while pulling cable.
