- Statement of Work - Clinical Center Glass Cleaning 2010 The Clinical Center Complex of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is located in Bethesda, Maryland. The Clinical Center is the hospital of the NIH consisting of 234 inpatient beds, 81 day hospital stations, outpatient clinics, diagnostic and treatment areas, and public waiting areas. Adjacent to the hospital facilities are research laboratories. The complex consists of the Warren G. Magnuson Clinical Center that covers 661,600 square feet and the Mark O. Hatfield Clinical Research Center (Hatfield Center) that covers 698,263 square feet The Magnuson Center is fifty years old and had a substantial addition completed in 1981, which is called the Ambulatory Care Research Facility (ACRF). The ACRF is a fourteen-floor structure, which houses clinics and research laboratories on each of twelve floors. The first and second levels of the ACRF house clinical services including diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine and PET, surgery, transfusion medicine and laboratory medicine. The Clinical Center also operates the operating rooms (OR) for human surgery. The Hatfield Center (CRC) opened in 2005 and houses the inpatient units, day hospitals, additional clinics, admissions, pharmacy, social work, rehabilitation medicine departments, staff use areas, support areas as well as research laboratories. The Hatfield Center is a seven-story structure with a central large open atrium at the core of the building that connects four separate sectors that house occupants. Patients are housed on levels 1, 3, 5 and 7 on the southeast, southwest, northeast and northwest sectors of the facility. Levels 2, 4 and 6 are interstitial mechanical spaces except for small clusters of offices on the east and west elevator lobbies and atrium portions of the facility. Research laboratories are located on levels B3, B2, 1, 3 and 5. The Clinical Center of the National Institutes of Health has a need for glass cleaning for glass that is not readily accessible. The glass is located in the Hatfield Center CRC building. The major portion of the glass is located in the central atrium and extends up for seven floors. One side of the glass can be cleaned from the respective floor while the other side faces the seven story open atrium. There is also glass that encloses the bridges from the ACRF to the CRC. The work is to be scheduled for the July 4th week-end only - July 3-5. The scope of work is as follows: 1. The glass to be cleaned includes both sides of all of the glass in the atrium. This also includes the cleaning of the ledges that hold the glass in place. In addition to the glass, the superstructure at each end of the atrium shall be cleaned. 2. The atrium glass that faces the outside shall be cleaned on the inside only. 3. The glass that encloses the bridges shall be cleaned on both sides. The seventh floor also includes the glass that faces the bridge on the 8th and 9th floor of the ACRF. 4. The glass that encloses the bridges that run from the south wing to the north wing shall be cleaned on the inside only. There are two sets of bridges, one on the east and one on the west. 5. All of the glass at the front door shall be cleaned on both sides. 6. All of the glass at the ambulance entrance shall be cleaned on both sides. 7.

An MSDS sheet is required for the hydraulics, as well as amp and voltage requirements. A tarp is to be placed by the contractor under the reservoir tank of the Denka Lift at all times. • The worker in the basket will be rigged only to the basket. There is a manual override if the machine loses power. • Plastic or other type of material will be used as tarps to completely cover the furniture and plants in the atrium. • The entire center core of the atrium is to be cordoned off by the contractor with yellow caution tape. The tape is to be provided by the contractor.
