Work to include the following: i.Architecture 1. Remove and salvage all furniture, equipment in each lab/room area. Relocate to designated storage area within Building 23. Location to be determined; Contractor to coordinate relocation and move of furniture and personnel. Contractor will not be instructed to relocate expensive Research equipment and/or chemicals. 2. Patch and paint entire areas where needed. Paint color to be comparable to existing area. Demolish existing flooring. Reinstall new flooring, base and structural sub flooring similar to recently upgraded corridor flooring. Approximate square footage: 8500. Base, Linear footage: 2600. Bathroom ceramic tile square footage: 250 sq ft, 90 sq ft of ceramic tile base. 3. Provide new flooring and base in elevator, do not include new subfloor. Match existing corridor flooring.

Approximate replacement area is 180 sq ft. 5. Undercut interior doors, as not to impede door swing lab rooms. Total doors: 4 doors. ii.Mechanical 1.Provide and install solution to leaking in/around two existing roof top AHUs. Currently there is leaking water from roof onto second floor of building, and it is presumed that the damage occurs around existing AHU units. Investigate current deficiency and provide economical solution. Research and present solutions with PROJECT ENGINEER/COTR to prevent future roof leaks. Implement best value solution under direction of Project Engineer/COTR. Solution may be to install roof awning, sheet metal/foam fill for AHU vents, etc. Refer to drawings for details. 2.The configuration of the roof top exhaust stacks near AHU air intakes may not meet EPA, AHRAE and/or other code requirements. In the past, staff complained of odors in laboratory rooms. The Denver VAMC FMS staff investigated this issue and discovered the exhaust stacks were too low so the stacks were raised and charcoal filters were installed. This corrected the problem, but the Denver VAMC FMS staff want to ensure that this solution meets EPA, ASHRAE, etc codes and standards and wants to be assured that the current solution is not only a short term fix but is long-term. Investigate and provide solution(s). Upon coordination with COTR during design, present corrective actions. Implement best value solution under direction of Project Engineer/COTR. Possible solutions may be to divert intake air, raise exhaust stacks above intake, etc. Approximately 4-6 exhaust stacks may be the cause of past odor complaints. Perform smoke tests at the 4-6 exhaust stacks located near intakes. This will be used to possibly locate sources of inflow and infiltration problems. Utilize non-toxic, smoke filled air through the vents and lines. If there are any leaks, such as a crack in pipes, or any damaged or defective area, provide information to COTR during design phase that will aid in implementing a new corrective action. Design Criteria Contractor shall determine phasing to ensure the least disruptive construction schedule and design the work accordingly: "Specifications will be developed using the standard VA specifications. Additional VA design criteria can be obtained at http://www.cfm.va.gov/TIL/. "The drawings shall be produced using industry standard details and VHA CADD Deliverable Guidelines, on a VA provided title block. All drawings will be standard, scaled, e-size (30" x 42") drawings or half size drawings. Contractor will be provided with architectural background drawings in AutoCAD 2010. Design/Build A/E shall confirm in the field, actual as-built conditions. "Contractor to provide phasing and coordination on any utility shutdowns. "Contractor is responsible for survey of existing conditions. Any drawings provided shall be used only as a guide and all information must be confirmed by Design/Build A/E. "Contractor to stamp drawings as to which review (65%, 95%, or Construction).

ICRA An ICRA is an Infection Control Risk Assessment. A preliminary assessment was performed dated 2.4.11. Refer to drawings and technical specifications to determine risk level and appropriate measures. The use of construction barriers, plastic, will be required through each phase. A dust permit will be required. However, temporary dust partitions and hard wall barriers will be created to ensure no cross-contamination between area of work and the VA Medical Center.
