- SCOPE OF WORK Project # 540-08-501 Angiographic Room Site Preparation 1. General Intention: It is the intention of the VA to acquire a contractor to prepare Room 2210 (X-Ray room) to accept the installation of a GE Innova 4100 system. All work shall be in accordance with GE drawings C1, A1, S1, S2, E1, E2, E3, E4, D1 and D2 dated 5-14-07. The contractor is responsible for all work noted on the drawings as Customer/Contractor supplied and/or installed. 2. Specific Work: The following are specific items but is not limited to all the work to be accomplished by the contractor in accordance with the drawings: A. Cut holes in the existing floor and install the Table Baseplate, Positioner Baseplate and Chilled Water line. The contractor shall use Ground Penetrating Radar to locate rebar and/or post tension cables located within the concrete floor. The holes will be located to miss any cables/rebar and will be cut, core drilled or drilled. The system can be positioned up to 2&&& towards the control wall and 18&&& towards the positioner end (coordinate with Project Engineer). B. Install ductwork as shown on drawings. C. Construct equipment room with sliding room doors (louvered for proper equipment ventilation). D. Install Main Disconnect and power for equipment. E. Install ceiling mounted cable drape rail. F. Install chilled water line. G. Install telephone/data wiring and outlets. H. Install warning lights and door controller. I. Relocate existing Medical Gases (AOV) to opposite side of room and have the system recertified. 3. Infection Prevention Measures: A. Implement the requirements of VAMC&&&s Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) team. ICRA Group may monitor dust in the vicinity of the construction work and require the Contractor to take corrective action immediately if the safe levels are exceeded. B. Establish and maintain a dust control program as part of the contractor&&&s infection preventive measures in accordance with the guidelines provided by ICRA Group//as specified here//. Prior to start of work, prepare a plan detailing project-specific dust protection measures, including periodic status reports, and submit to Project Engineer and Facility ICRA team for review. 1. All personnel involved in the construction or renovation activity shall be educated and trained in infection prevention measures established by the medical center. C. Medical center Infection Control personnel shall monitor for airborne disease (e.g. aspergillus&&&s) as appropriate during construction. A baseline of conditions may be established by the medical center prior to the start of work and periodically during the construction stage to determine impact of construction activities on indoor air quality. In addition: 1. The PE and VAMC Infection Control personnel shall review pressure differential monitoring documentation to verify that pressure differentials in the construction zone and in the patient-care rooms are appropriate for their settings. The requirement for negative air pressure in the construction zone shall depend on the location and type of activity. Upon notification, the contractor shall implement corrective measures to restore proper pressure differentials as needed. 2. In case of any problem, the medical center, along with assistance from the contractor, shall conduct an environmental assessment to find and eliminate the source. D. In general, following preventive measures shall be adopted during construction to keep down dust and prevent mold. 1. Dampen debris to keep down dust and provide temporary construction partitions in existing structures where directed by Resident Engineer. Blank off ducts and diffusers to prevent circulation of dust into occupied areas during construction. 2. Do not perform dust producing tasks within occupied areas without the approval of the Resident Engineer. For construction in any areas that will remain jointly occupied by the medical Center and Contractor&&&s workers, the Contractor shall: a. Provide dust proof one-hour temporary drywall construction barriers to completely separate construction from the operational areas of the hospital in order to contain dirt debris and dust. Barriers shall be sealed and made presentable on hospital occupied side. Install a self-closing rated door in a metal frame, commensurate with the partition, to allow worker access. Maintain negative air at all times. A fire retardant polystyrene, 6-mil thick or greater plastic barrier meeting local fire codes may be used where dust control is the only hazard, and an agreement is reached with the Resident Engineer and Medical Center. b. HEPA filtration is required where the exhaust dust may reenter the breathing zone. Contractor shall verify that construction exhaust to exterior is not reintroduced to the medical center through intake vents, or building openings. Install HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Accumulator) filter vacuum system rated at 95% capture of 0.3 microns including pollen, mold spores and dust particles. Insure continuous negative air pressures occurring within the work area. HEPA filters should have ASHRAE 85 or other prefilter to extend the useful life of the HEPA. Provide both primary and secondary filtrations units. Exhaust hoses shall be heavy duty, flexible steel reinforced and exhausted so that dust is not reintroduced to the medical center. c. Adhesive Walk-off/Carpet Walk-off Mats, minimum 600mm x 900mm (24&&& x 36&&&), shall be used at all interior transitions from the construction area to occupied medical center area. These mats shall be changed as often as required to maintain clean work areas directly outside construction area at all times. d. Vacuum and wet mop all transition areas from construction to the occupied medical center at the end of each workday. Vacuum shall utilize HEPA filtration. Maintain surrounding area frequently. Remove debris as they are created. Transport these outside the construction area in containers with tightly fitting lids. e. The contractor shall not haul debris through patient-care areas without prior approval of the Resident Engineer and the Medical Center. When, approved, debris shall be hauled in enclosed dust proof containers or wrapped in plastic and sealed with duct tape. No sharp objects should be allowed to cut through the plastic. Wipe down the exterior of the containers with a damp rag to remove dust. All equipment, tools, material, etc. transported through occupied areas shall be made free from dust and moisture by vacuuming and wipe down. f. Using a HEPA vacuum, clean inside the barrier and vacuum ceiling tile prior to replacement. Any ceiling access panels opened for investigation beyond sealed areas shall be sealed immediately when unattended. g. There shall be no standing water during construction. This includes water in equipment drip pans and open containers within the construction areas. All accidental spills must be cleaned up and dried within 12 hours. Remove and dispose of porous materials that remain damp for more than 72 hours. h. At completion, remove construction barriers and ceiling protection carefully, outside of normal work hours. Vacuum and clean all surfaces free of dust after the removal. E. Final Cleanup: 1. Upon completion of project, or as work progresses, remove all construction debris from above ceiling, vertical shafts and utility chases that have been part of the construction. 2. Perform HEPA vacuum cleaning of all surfaces in the construction area. This includes walls, ceilings, cabinets, furniture (built-in or free standing), partitions, flooring, etc. 3. All new air ducts shall be cleaned prior to final inspection ELECTRONIC VERSION OF DRAWINGS AVAILABLE BY E-MAIL END NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (04-JAN-2008); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE.
