Quality Assurance/Quality Control Plan The DB team is responsible for reviewing the work done by any subcontractors that the DB team has hired to assist with the completion of this SOW. The DB team must provide the Government with a Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Plan that documents the methods, processes, procedures that are going to be implemented by the Consultant to validate the work their subcontractors perform. See PG-18-15: MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR A/E SUBMISSIONS (as modified for (528-19- 111)), Part I, Section D. Hazardous Materials Hazardous Material Removal is anticipated for this project. The DB team is required to perform an inspection (to include destructive investigation and testing if necessary) of the areas to be renovated to identify and test suspect materials. If no suspect materials are identified and no tests conducted, then the DB team shall document this result in writing on corporate letterhead. If suspect materials are identified and tested positive for hazardous materials, then the DB team shall submit a written report documenting the survey conducted that includes the test results. The DB team shall then be responsible for developing the appropriate abatement drawings and specifications in accordance with PG-18-15: MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR A/E SUBMISSIONS (as modified for (528-19-111)), Part I, Section O. Construction Cost Estimate The DB team is responsible for the development of an independent construction cost estimate at several points throughout the design process. The DB team shall advise the Contracting Officer in writing if the anticipated cost of the construction effort is considerably different from the construction limitation dollar amount (i.e., the funds allocated for the construction effort). Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) The DB team is responsible for obtaining / providing, inspecting, and maintaining any required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) necessary to perform services identified in this SOW. Approach This Scope of Work has been broken down into general requirements that are applicable to the entire contract as well as several separate parts: General (Section 3.1) Detailed Design (65%) and Construction Documents (95%) (Section 3.4) Construction Support Services (Section 3.6) Site Visits (Section 3.7) Construction (Section 3.7) The DB team shall adhere to the general requirements when providing any design related services or construction services. Design Phase Definitions and Timing Although there is a formal phasing required for this project (See SOW Attachment 21), work shall be focused on the same general portion of the building in order to minimize disruptions to the facility. The project drawings provide a recommended phasing plan to minimize the outage and keep the facility operate during the construction; however, the contractor may submit their own phasing plan to the VA for review and approval. All design phases are an iterative process where the DB team obtains client input, refines the design, and then presents the updated design for client feedback/approval. The number of design submissions required in this SOW reflects the iterative nature of this process while the percentage moniker for each submission (e.g., 65%, 95%, and 100%) reflects the level of information contained in each submission. The contents and format of each submission are also located in PG-18-15: MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR A/E SUBMISSIONS (as modified for Project: (528-19-111)). Site Information Access Although the VAMC is a public facility, access to facility maintenance areas, electrical areas, mechanical areas, roof access, and certain other portions of the medical facility are restricted from the public. Accessing these areas may require advance notice, pre-approval, and scheduling to gain entry. All visits and access requests to the VAMC under this scope of work shall be coordinated through the COR.Access to select areas may only be accommodated outside of normal operating hours (M-F 7:00 am 4:30 pm). Photography It is VHA policy to respect the privacy of all persons (e.g., Veterans, patients, residents, members of the VHA workforce, and visitors) consistent with the needs of operating a national health care system. Privacy protections on VHA premises vary according to the needs and purposes of different types of areas, the persons included, and the purpose of the production and use of photographs, digital images, and video or audio recordings (excerpt from VHA Directive 1078). Photography of as built and site conditions are permissible actions under this SOW when photography activities are coordinated with the COR. The DB team shall ensure that any photographs taken do not include any VHA patients, members of the VHA workforce, or visitors to the facility. Applicable Documents The following documents are applicable to this Scope of Work (SOW) to the extent specified herein. While every effort has been made to ensure the completeness of this list, document users are cautioned that they must meet all specified requirements of documents cited in sections 3 of this SOW, whether or not they are listed here.
