Plan construction to include impacts on the medical center such as relocating patient and staff equipment, providing temporary barriers, providing temporary utilities, minimizing impact on patient flow, etc. Presentation and review submissions. Construction period services to include site visits, RFI response (including SOW and cost estimate), site inspections, shop drawing review, submittal review, materials testing, and hazardous material monitoring. General Provide bound specifications and 100% construction drawings with all xref's bound. Construction documents will be required to be furnished in hard copy, electronic.dwg files (Autocad 2011) and electronic.pdf files. Provide construction administration to include shop drawings review, site inspections, and RFI response. Based upon the field investigation work, the A/E shall size any HVAC equipment as per the VA's HVAC design criteria found on the internet at the following web site: http://www.va.gov/facmgt/standard/manuals.asp. The aforementioned HVAC Design Manual also gives the A/E the scope of work required for all areas. All design submissions will be submitted in accordance with the Program Guide PG-18-15, Volume C, for NRM projects. These submission requirements may be found at the following web site: http://www.va.gov/facmgt/ae/des_sub.asp. Each review submission will require 3 full size, bound sets of plans, 3 C size bound sets of plans, and 2 complete sets of specifications, bound in 3 ring binders with specification sections clearly tabbed. Only 1 bound copy of calculations and cost estimates is required. Other applicable program guides can be found at http://www.va.gov/facmgt/standard/. MAJOR WORK ITEMS Investigation of existing conditions: The Architect/Engineer shall make a thorough investigation of the existing site (including topographic surveys, test borings, test pits, soil tests, subsurface exploration and other investigations as he determines are required for the proper design of the project) and get acquainted with equipment, systems, finishes, etc. located in this building. Existing conditions shall be determined by verifying information from field investigation. The survey shall be conducted to obtain sufficient information to permit designers to develop a detailed cost estimate and schematics. The entire Veterans Affairs drawing files will be made available and accessible along with reproduction materials, but the A/E shall provide manpower to reproduce prints. AutoCAD drawings are also available for use. This information is the best available but the Government does not guarantee its accuracy or completeness. The A/E investigation of field conditions shall be performed in a competent professional manner in accordance with Architectural Design Manual PG 18-10. Site utility locations will be verified by the A/E (VA staff will not mark utilities). Where hidden conditions dictate, the VA will provide access holes as needed (both interior and exterior). The A/E will provide materials testing services during construction. Drawings and Specifications: Develop a full set of drawings and specifications for bid purposes. Develop a preliminary drawings, design development drawings, and construction documents. Provide a detailed cost estimate for negotiation purposes and review of contractor's proposal if this project is 8a set-aside. Construction Period Services: Provide construction period services to include reviewing shop drawings and submittals. If there are any design errors or omissions, the A/E shall provide all services necessary information (including sketches and cost estimates) to correct the error and provide the Contracting Officer with a basis for negotiation. Final drawing submittal will include hard copies as described for other submissions as well as a CD clearly labeled with the project name, number and submittal date containing: 1. Folder labeled "bid documents" a.All specifications bound in 1 word document (make sure spec sections are separated by page breaks) b.All drawing sheets in one.pdf file 2.Folder labeled "DWG sheets" containing.dwg drawings of each drawing sheet 3.Folder labeled "PDF sheets" containing separate.pdf documents for each drawing sheet 4.Folder labeled "cost estimate" containing a copy of the final construction cost estimate documents 5.Folder labeled "calculations" containing final calculation documents. 6.Folder labeled "specifications" with a word document for each spec section 7.Folder labeled "misc" for IH reports, materials testing, VPDES permit, soils tests, etc. Upon construction completion, red line drawings will be furnished to the A/E to prepare as built drawings. Final as built drawings will be furnished as master building drawings in a project manager format prescribed by the VA. Site Visits: The Architect/Engineer shall include site visits in this contract. The site visits will be as needed during design development, pre-bid conferences, partial final and final inspections, and inspection of work during construction. Once construction starts, the VA shall determine when these site visits are to be issued. The A/E will also provide services of an independent materials testing agency to perform all materials testing during construction. These requirements are conjunction with the work described in spec section 01 45 29. GENERAL Completed design shall result in a cost that is within the budget limitations. To ensure this, the A/E shall set up one or more bid deduct alternatives totaling 20% or the construction cost. If the base bid cost exceeds budget, and deduct alternates do not bring the project within the construction budget, the A/E shall re-design or take necessary steps to reduce the cost so that budget limitations are not exceeded. The project construction will be under the supervision of the COTR/Project Manager. The Architect/Engineer shall furnish assistance during the construction period, including review of shop drawings, RFI response, submittals, site visits and serve as necessary in clearing up any problems that may arise. Bidding shall be handled by the Veterans Affairs Contracting Officer.
