Any issue that could have impact on VAMC operations must be reported to the VAMC project representative before commencement. This would include containment breeching, loss of negative pressure, releases of dust/debris into uncontrolled interior building areas or other issues that could affect infection control procedures. Work phasing and breakout of specific work areas shall be in coordination with the Contracting Officers needs and the General Contractor's schedule and not adversely affect the operations of the VAMC in any way. PART 2 PRODUCTS Not Used. PART 3 EXECUTION 3.1PREPARATION Obtain an Infection Control Construction Permit prior to performing any work of construction types A through D as defined above. No work will be allowed to proceed until an Infection Control Construction Permit has been completed and signed and all protective measures required by the permit are in place. All work shall be accomplished using the controls indicated in the specifications and on the Infection Control Construction Permit for the class of protection required for the work. Removal of a single ceiling tile in a suspended acoustic ceiling for observation purposes only does not require an infection control construction permit. Existing air handling ductwork, supply and return grills, and/or HVAC fresh air intakes shall be isolated using air tight seals. Elevator use must be coordinated with facilities and must not impact VAMC operations. Time and dates of waste load must be identified each day. 3.2 ERECTION Install impervious barriers from floor to ceiling and wall to wall to seal work areas from non-work areas. When work is in an area designated for Class IV protection, double impervious barriers shall be used. Impervious barriers shall be constructed of non-combustible or fire retardant materials. Barriers shall be minimum one-hour rated construction. Fire retardant polyethylene may be used for impervious (dust) barriers that remain in place for not more than 72 hours. Construct all other barriers of gypsum board (flame spread rating of 25 or less in accordance with ASTM E84) on both sides of metal steel studs. Extend the partitions through suspended ceilings to floor slab deck or roof. Wood framing is not allowed. At door openings, use Class C ¾ hour fire/smoke rated doors and frames with closers. Critical barriers are to be installed on all doors and windows and other entrances to the work area. Seal all holes, chases, pipe cavities and other perforations before commencing work. Sealants shall be non-flammable material. When required as an infection control measure, create a negative air pressure work area by installing HEPA filtered negative air machines within the work area to remove dust particles from the air and exhaust to the outside. Negative air pressure shall be maintained at all times, including non-work periods, for the duration of the work. Maintain negative pressure of at least -0.02 inches water in all work areas and document compliance. Construct an entry/exit chamber (construction vestibule) for decontaminating people and equipment leaving the work area. A HEPA vacuum is required to remove dust from equipment and people leaving the site. Disposable PPE shall be removed prior to exiting the entry/exit chamber. For projects that require maintaining negative air pressure within the work area, provide an entry/exit chamber (construction vestibule) for delivering or removing materials and equipment at the worksite. Delivery and remove of materials and equipment at the worksite must be completed in a manner that maintains the specified negative air pressure within the work area at all times. Adhesive Step-off pads at least 24"x36" are to be located at the exit of the work area before entering the occupied areas of the VAMC. Vacuum the top surfaces of ceiling tiles using a HEPA vacuum prior to removal of ceiling tiles. Traffic shall be minimized to/from the work area. Elevators or stairwells within the work area must be isolated with impervious barriers. Activities such as cutting, demolishing, and other large dust generating activities shall have work surfaces water-misted prior to impact. Where powered equipment that generates dust will be utilized, such equipment shall have dust collection equipment attached. Provide active means to prevent airborne dust from dispersing into the atmosphere. 3.3 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL 3.3.1 Inspection Conduct daily infection control inspections using the VAMC Infection Control Compliance Checklist on page 2 of the Infection Control Construction Permit. Daily inspections shall also be conducted on days when no construction activity is performed. Submit compliance checklist not more than 1 work day after completing an inspection. Continuously monitor negative pressure levels. Document negative pressure levels at the start of work each day and at 2 hour maximum intervals during each work day. Maintain a written log of negative pressure levels measured to include date and time of the measurement. Submit written log of negative pressure levels weekly and not more than 1 work day after completing the last log entry using the VAMC Infection Control Compliance Checklist on page 2 of the Infection Control Construction Permit. All barriers and HEPA filtered negative pressure are to remain in place until clearance has been obtained from VAMC representatives. This could include the IC Department, Safety Department, and Environmental Services Department. 3.3.2 Tests VAMC representatives may conduct post abatement and during abatement sampling for dust, mold spores and surface contamination. Sampling may be conducted for dusts outside the work area to assess impact. 3.4 CLEANING AND DISPOSAL The construction area and adjacent areas are to be kept in a clean and sanitary manner, using damp methods and HEPA filtered vacuuming. Dry sweeping shall not be allowed. Any dust tracked outside of the barriers must be removed immediately and as it accumulates. Surfaces are to be cleaned daily or more frequently if needed with VAMC approved cleaning products. There shall be no standing water in the work area. All accidental spills must be cleaned up immediately and wet porous material removed within one hour. Any water damaged areas scheduled for impact/demolition shall be removed first, under HEPA filtered exhaust and containment, with the waste promptly bagged, to reduce aerosol of microbial agent/fungi/spore from potentially escaping out of the work space. All barriers are to be removed carefully to minimize the spread of contaminants. Where feasible, the optimal method for removal of debris is via an exterior type chute to closed top containers. Where not feasible, waste is to be removed in clean air tight covered containers and transported from the work area by a pre-determined route during off-peak hours. Such designated debris removal routes shall be cleaned by damp-mop and/or HEPA filtered vacuuming prior to being returned to patient/staff use. For work performed exterior to the building envelope, no debris/waste movement shall be allowed through the building interior spaces. ?
