Stratton VA Medical Center A/E Contract No. VA528-P-?? Albany, New York Architect/Engineer Statement of Work Project No. 528A8-13-812 Façade Repairs Phase 2 General Scope of Work: Under a previous project, an Existing Conditions Assessment Report (Report) was prepared for Building 1 of the Stratton VA Medical Center (VAMC) located at 113 Holland Avenue, Albany, New York, 12208. Building 1 is the main and largest building on the facility grounds comprising of four wings off a central hub. The Report is a compilation of narrative descriptions, sketches, photographs, data and unit costs describing aspects of the façade and roofs that require repair, replacement or other appropriate attention. Under this Scope of Work (SOW), the Architect-Engineer (A/E) shall provide services in the preparation of construction drawings, specifications and related documents for the area surrounding the main pedestrian entrance to the building which is depicted on the attached plan portion of the Report as elevations: A-1, A-2, A-3 B-8, B-9, B-10 Core-1, Core-2, Core-3 A-Wing Roof Plan B-Wing Roof Plan This SOW also includes construction period services such as assistance with the preparation of bidding documents, pre-bid, post-award and construction phase meetings, responses to contractors questions during the bidding and construction phases, submittal review, evaluation of construction change requests and project wrap-up. A more detailed list of the required construction phase services is included later in this SOW. Background: The Samuel S. Stratton VA Medical Center was constructed in the late 1940 s based upon plans by Green & James, Architects & Engineers, Buffalo, New York and Eggers & Higgins Architects & Engineers, New York, New York dated December 10, 1947. The Main Hospital (Building 1) generally consists of a partially exposed basement level, 11 main stories and 3 stories of mechanical penthouse space. Floor designations range from the basement level to levels 1 through 14. Various additions have been constructed. Generally, these additions were not evaluated under the 2009 survey, except where they tie into Building 1. The Main Hospital (Building 1) is approximately 417 feet in width (east to west), approximately 183 feet above grade and 484 feet in length (north to south). The exterior wall system of the original structure generally consists of alternating spans of yellow and red brick veneer and limestone bands, CMU back-up wall and steel and reinforced concrete column and slab frame structure. Soapstone accent panels are present between the windows on the central tower and the end of each wing. Horizontal limestone bands are present between the red and yellow brick areas at the heads and sills of the windows. Low slope roofing consists of EPDM and single-ply membrane, sometimes ballasted or with applied coatings. Limestone coping stones are typically present at all roof areas and in some cases are covered with metal coping. The brick masonry is in generally good to fair condition with a few areas in poor condition. There are areas of stone and masonry exhibiting step cracking, mortar loss, spalled/damaged/cracked/displaced face brick and efflorescence/corrosion/dirt staining, which require repair or attention in other ways. Expansion joints and stone veneers are generally in need of sealing. The interior parapet walls on all wings are typically covered with a reinforced waterproofing membrane, installed approximately 12 years ago, that extends up the wall from the top of the roofing base flashing to approximately half way across the limestone coping. Trapped moisture has deteriorated the veneer of the interior parapet walls underneath the waterproofing membrane. B1. Construction Cost Estimate for the area requiring full design: B2.
