The contractor shall bring the chiller plant into compliance with all current VA and industry standards. Part 2: Period of Performance: The following model presents the summary logic of the milestone sequence working backward from the delivery date of the longest lead time in the critical path to determine a mobilization date, and then forward from the delivery date of the longest lead time to completion of all work. Construction Period of Performance [Assumes HVAC or other long-lead time] Calendar Days VA Review Total Days From NTP NTP [or Limited NTP] � � 0 All Division 01 Submittals (esp. with Long Lead Times) 21 7 28 All Division 02 Submittals (incl. factory ship date of long lead time items) 42 7 77 Variable pause based on long lead time ship dates � � 77 Mobilize and Demo (works back for Pre-HVAC) 30 � 107 Pre-Longest Lead Construction (works back from factory ship date) 120 � 227 Milestone: Delivery Date of Longest Lead Item (HVAC, Transformer, custom doors and frames, dampers, etc.) 1 � 228 Longest Lead (HVAC, Transformer, etc.) and Balance of Construction End Date - Including Closeout Approval [may phase; add milestones] 120 � 348 Notes: See Section 01 32 16.15 Project Schedules with Long Lead Items (D/B/B Projects at FHCC). The dates are shown to model how the long lead schedule will work. Part 3: Detailed Project Requirements: Project Objectives: This project is required to replace the obsolete chiller and bring the redundancy in the chiller plant up to the current standards. Meet or exceed all Code, technical, and programmatic requirements adopted, established, revised, and or published by VA or the many organizations listed in the several specifications. Project Scheduling and Mobilization on Site: Prior to beginning work, post and maintain at each work area all current emergency contact information, VA Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA)/Permit, Interim Life Safety Measures (ILSM), and other information required by VA and the GC project- specific safety plan, at all entry points to the work area. Performance of the Work: Containment shall enable access to the work, without obstructing access to adjacent equipment or rooms. Establish HEPA air purification as needed. Review and follow specification 01 35 33 Infection Control Requirements as applicable to this location and work. Follow PCRA & ICRA plan and permit generated and issued by VA. Remove only upon completion approval of the COR. Perform selective demolition and construction as described in the specifications and drawings. Special Acceptance Criteria for the work shall include: Chiller system shall not be acceptable in whole or in part unless and until Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing (TAB) is completed and accepted. The contractor shall provide EIA/TIA testing and certification of all new Cat 6a communications cable. Restore all finishes damaged during the work match existing. Thoroughly clean all surfaces using HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaner and anti-bacterial wipes. Part 4: Meetings, Submittals, and Deliverables: Kick-Off Meeting and Documentation The contractor s Project Manager and Field Supervisor shall attend a Preconstruction Safety and Coordination Meeting to discuss project details. Kick-Off Meeting Documentation: Prepare and submit for review and acceptance a DRAFT Critical Path Method (CPM) Baseline Schedule reflecting each phase and activity of the work beginning with mobilization, including each critical activity, and each essential task required to optimally meet the objectives of the project. To enable objective assessment of costs and progress, the Baseline Schedule shall be cost-loaded at each work activity (essentially Division 02 on), ensuring that the total cost of each phase and Division of work match the corresponding Schedule of Values, and the total of the construction contract at Award. Develop the CPM schedule in sufficient detail to enable readers to understand all planned activities, their predecessors, and successors, who is performing the work, durations, and costs. Activity durations shall not exceed two calendar weeks. Indicate resource SDVOSB status. The Project Manual index of specifications is a useful guide for starting the CPM schedule and Schedule of Values in sufficient detail. For example: Simply listing HVAC is unacceptable for projects including more than basic work in this category. The inclusion of specifications for an AHU, controls, ductwork, demolition of each, testing and balancing, etc. also prompt their inclusion as categories of activities and tasks in the schedule. In fact, for larger work categories, breaking down the cost by system/material and installation and testing enables partial payment for higher cost items upon delivery into the facility work area. Preparation and processing of submittals are GC procurement (administrative) activities and not work activities contributing to the compensable work in the field. Should the contractor elect to include submittal planning in their internal use schedule for their own purposes, do not show those line items in the schedule submitted to VA for consideration in the Baseline Schedule. Include all expected utility system shutdowns, road closures, crane lifts, and off- hours work in the CPM schedule. The contractor shall prepare and submit SF-1413 for each subcontractor to the CO, copying the COR. List of all subcontractors and suppliers, including Company names, office address, and main point of contact name with telephone number, and SDVOSB status. As required at 01 35 26 Safety Requirements: Develop and submit a Project- Specific Construction Safety and Accident Prevention Plan with project-specific procedures, processes, analysis, and details, including but not limited to: Access and use the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers EM 385-1-1 Safety and Health Requirements and its Appendix A Minimum Basic Outline for Accident Prevention Plans for development of meaningful, effective, and compliant project safety plans. Submission of generic, non-project specific safety plans will be rejected, resulting in a contractor-caused delay in commencement of the work. Project-specific Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA), which forms the basis of the Construction Safety and Accident Prevention Plan highlighting identified risks such as isolation of stored energy (Lock-Out*), fall protection, or confined space access. (*) Note that tag-out is not an acceptable form of isolation, therefore it was intentional not to use the term LOTO. Submit an electronic copy of the GC and all subcontractor competent persons OSHA 30-hour Construction Safety Training certificates with project-specific Construction Safety and Accident Prevention Plan. Submit an electronic copy of all workers OSHA 30-hour Construction Safety Training certificates or cards prior to allowing entry to the site. Assist the COR in completing project-specific VA Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) and Interim Life Safety Measures (ILSM) documentation. Quality Control Plan and Quality Assurance Plan: 01 40 00 Quality Requirements is included in its entirety in this contract. This specification is brief bu
