Y1DZ--556-23-108: (CON) Expand Police Dispatch Captain James A. Lovell FHCC, North Chicago, IL 60064-3048

l studs, gypsum wall board, paint, ceilings, flooring, electrical power and light, modifications to the fire protection system, telecom cabling, fire alarm, and other work to affect a complete turn-key space supporting described clinical function(s) and equipment. Finished square footage is approximately 12,590. The current HVAC system and all its components installed on the roof will be tied into the new space on the 2nd floor. 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. Notes: Durations shown are in calendar days. Actual Award and NTP dates will be revised to match their occurrence. Time consumed for resubmission and review must be made up by the GC to ensure that all submittals of this contract are approved within 60 days of NTP. See Section 01 32 16.15 Project Schedules with Long Lead Items (D/B/B Projects at FHCC). Part 3: Detailed Project Requirements: Project Objectives: This project is required to renovate the described space as expediently and compliantly as practical. 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. Expedite the delivery of a highly functional, complete, compliant, and safe workspace for the user service. List of AE Documents to be included in this Contract: See: 00 01 10 Table of Contents and the entire Project Manual See: 00 01 15 List of Drawing Sheets and the entire volume of drawings Pre-Bid Conference: VA shall schedule two pre-bid conferences required to be attended by prospective bidders to observe current conditions within the work area(s). The AE shall not attend the pre-bid events. No questions will be allowed during the events. All questions by all prospective contractors shall follow the RFI process described in the Solicitation. Prospective bidders shall not attempt to contact the AE or VA facilities engineering staff during the solicitation and bidding period. The AE and VA facilities engineering staff are instructed to ignore all such inquiries and report them to the VA Contracting Officer. All inquiries regarding this project shall be presented as complete and coherent Requests for Information (RFI) specifically citing design or specification sections, pages, paragraphs, notes, details, etc. to enable responses to RFI s. Follow the instructions provided by the Contracting Officer within the Solicitation regarding submission of RFI s. VA will post responses developed to enable all prospective bidders to receive the same information at the same time. Project Scheduling and Mobilization on Site: The contractor shall not mobilize on site until all required submittals are prepared, transmitted, reviewed, and accepted by VA, and the delivery dates of long lead items have been established by the respective manufacturers. Significant time for this essential is included in the Period of Performance. Critical components and other long lead items shall require proof of purchase and an established delivery date delivered to the Contracting Officer and COR to complete VA approval of the schedule. Approval to mobilize shall be in writing by the Contracting Officer in consultation with the COR and Facility Safety Manager. 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. The target mobilization date is determined by first establishing the delivery date of the longest lead time material or system along the critical path, which in this project is predominantly HVAC equipment, but is likely to also consider shop-fabricated doors and frames, and then working back along the critical path listing all predecessor work activities. The baseline period of performance is certain to change between Initial Project Schedule and acceptance of the Final Project Schedule. The Contracting Officer, at his or her discretion and judgement, will issue a contract modification revising the period of performance end date. As there is no change to the quantity or quality of the work, the contract value shall not change. Performance of the Work: Erect and maintain a dust-tight containment around the work area which complies with applicable Code associated with UL-Rated wall assemblies and maintenance of egress paths. Containment shall enable access to the work, without obstructing access to adjacent suites or rooms. Establish HEPA air purification. Review and follow specification 01 35 33 Infection Control Requirements as applicable to this location and work. Follow PRA & ICRA plan and permit generated and issued by VA. Remove only upon completion approval of the COR. After establishing and gaining approval of the temporary modular hard plastic dust-tight construction dust control barrier system, including lockable door. Where this is the sole containment, include differential pressure monitoring for the work area, with monitor located adjacent to the temporary entry door. Where fire or smoke-rated wall assemblies are planned for alternation even if temporarily, provide a dust-tight 1-hour rated temporary construction wall with locking door to isolate the area of work, finished with one coat of paint on the outside were indicated. The 1-hour temporary wall shall include differential pressure monitoring for the work area, with monitor located adjacent to the temporary entry door. The 1-hour temporary wall and differential pressure monitoring must be complete and approved prior to removal of the (outer) temporary modular wall barrier, and commencement of demolition within the space. Prior to removal of a temporary fire or smoke-rated walls, completely restore rated wall assemblies required of the work, and then re-erect the temporary modular hard plastic, dust-tight, barrier system. In no case shall any containment be removed unless and until the work area, including the inside of the ventilation system, has been thoroughly cleaned and approved for progress toward activation. Immediately prior to turnover, remove all air filters from the ventilation system used during construction, and supply and install new specified filters. Supply case quantities of each filter to VA with the system. Perform selective demolition and construction as described in the specifications and drawings. Special Acceptance Criteria for the work shall include: HVAC system shall not be acceptable in whole or in part unless and until Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing (TAB) is completed and accepted in accordance with the Specifications, Drawings, and the current edition ASHRAE 170 Ventilation of Health Care Facilities (and errata) requirements specific to the room/suite type and purpose. VA reserves the right to conduct, or have conducted, verification testing, and deduct its cost from the contract if noncompliant conditions are found. The contractor shall provide EIA/TIA testing and certification of all new Cat 6a communications cab
