Description

Project Number 402-21-709 Replace Elevators B200 & B200E, Togus VA Medical Center, Augusta, ME): Work at the VA Maine Healthcare System Campus located at 1 VA Center, Augusta, ME 04330 to provide a complete construction design package including plans and specifications to evaluate and replace if required all elevator equipment (Elevators 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) in buildings 200 and 200E but excludes service elevator #6 in 200E which was replaced in 2018. This project does not include any modifications to the existing size of the hoist ways. Mechanical equipment to be evaluated and possibly replaced will include but is not limited to elevator guides, steel wire ropes, rollers, pulleys, control cabinets, motor and drive and drive equipment and any other equipment as determined by the elevator equipment design firm. Cosmetic improvements will include upgrading all finishes in each car elevator which includes flooring, sides, ceilings including new LED lighting as well as ADA compliant elevator call buttons/car locator inside and outside of the car. In addition to the above work, the elevator design firm will evaluate whether additional elevators can be placed on emergency power (equipment branch). The goal is to have at least one additional elevator on emergency power. Also, part of this scope of work is an evaluation of the existing elevator recall system, firefighter s operation, and elevator specific fire alarm system and sprinkler system upgrades as required by current code. In addition, emergency 2-way communication from the elevator will be evaluated for compliance with current code, a new medical emergency bypass system with priority keys located inside of the cabs and outside the elevators in required locations and all required priority switches. Currently two elevators (number 2 & number 6) are integrated into a robot transport system (Aethon- TUG) which has interfaces with the elevator control panels to allow the robots to command an elevator. This project will evaluate installing elevator interfaces for the robots on all the elevators for flexibility. In addition, this project will evaluate whether dedication of one elevator for TUGS only with a secondary back up elevator is practical for the TUG robots. Elevators will be evaluated regarding the elevator pit sump pumps. There have been ongoing issues with the sump pumps located in cars 1 & 2. The design will include high water alarms that alarm to a designated area. During the design and phasing of this project, please note that only one elevator can be out of service at a time and at least two TUG elevators will need to remain operational. Patient care cannot be impacted. Elevators 4 & 5 need to be a prioritized due to carbon dust from existing motor- generators that are affecting elevator 6. The access for B200E elevators 4 & 5 is thru the floor of the 7th floor elevator room and 6th floor elevator lobby ceiling. The B200E 6th floor elevator lobby ceiling will have to be replaced with a suspended ceiling if the access panels need to be enlarged due to an existing spline ceiling. This needs to be evaluated as part of the design package. The new design of the elevators will also evaluate whether Elevator #3 located in building 200 can economically and practically be renovated to be able to access the ground floor. This will consider the existing conditions. If this is not feasible, the new design will exclude it. The design firm must follow all required Federal and State building codes, standards, and guidelines. This is to include but is not limited to ASME Elevator Code, NFPA 72, Master Specifications, VA specifications of the modernization of traction elevators, VA Barrier free design guide, VA Physical Security Design Manual, and the VA Sustainability Design book, as well as and applicable trade design manuals. After the A/E design is completed it is expected to be construction ready, and include all necessary details, drawings, specifications, construction scope, and cost estimate. The period of performance for this work to be completed is 270 calendar days from the issuance of the Notice to Proceed by the contracting officer. Period of Performance is 270 Calendar days.
