Construction and Installation services of the Medical Vacuum Pump, including all Management, Supervision, Labor, Transportation, Equipment and Materials and to perform work to include demolition, general construction, alterations, mechanical and electrical work, and certain other items as required by project drawings and specifications to create a complete and useable facility. -- Project Scope -- GENERAL: Provide sufficient construction documents for a project that shall replace the Medical Vacuum Pump in Building 1, at the Lebanon VA Medical Center. Offeror shall make layout changes, calculations, and provide documentation to support their design. Replacement of the Medical Vacuum Pump shall be designed and installed as per the specifications and drawings approved through the Design and Project Design Team (PDT) process. SPECIFICs: The project is intended to replace a Medical Vacuum Pump with a Medical Vacuum Pump. The project shall replace the Medical Vacuum Pump in the location identified in Attachment A with new Medical Vacuum Pump. The location of the existing Medical Vacuum Pump is not the ideal location for this piece of equipment. Alternate locations for the new Vacuum Pump will be proposed by the VA and shall be evaluated by the DB A/E for compliance with design standards. In addition to the Medical Vacuum Pump, the contractor shall replace all piping, valves, control, communication and electrical associated with the vacuum pump. The contractor is responsible for removing and lawfully disposing of the existing Medical Vacuum Pump, along with, the decommissioned Medical Air Compressor located in Bldg. 1 Installation will be required to occur during times that will minimize impact to the patients, staff and hospital in general, and outages shall be kept to an absolute minimum and scheduled at the convenience of the government. Collaboration between Design-Build team, COR and Lebanon VAMC Pipe/Electric shop will be required during the project. All work shall comply with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70 (National Electrical Code), 70B, 70E, 72, 99, 101, 110, 30, 37, 54, 58 and 13, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations and the VA Plumbing Design manual, PG-18-10. Everything that controls, consumes, or is capable of consuming electricity shall have a label. Label shall have circuit identification, panel it is fed from, and where the panel is located. Neutral Conductor shall be identified with corresponding Phase conductor in all junction boxes and/or enclosures. Do not share neutral conductor. Neutral conductors shall be full size. Phase Colors as follows: (Black, red, and blue for 120/208 volts and brown, orange, and yellow for 277/408 volts.) Neutral conductors shall be white in color for 120/208 volts and grey in color for 277/480 volts. Perform all acceptance testing required by NFPA 99. Design drawings shall be stamped by an Engineer for medical vacuum systems, and an Electrical Engineer licensed in the state of Pennsylvania. The alarm system for the medical vacuum pump shall be compatible with and the contractor shall fully integrate it into the VA s current medical gas alarm infrastructure providing monitoring capability in both the Emergency Department and Central Heat Plant Construction shall be addressed in phases to allow operations to continue during construction to the greatest extent possible. Phasing shall be determined during the 35% design review. Phasing must work within budget and allow the VA to continue operations at minimal interference. The DB A/E is responsible for providing certified industrial hygiene services to perform asbestos survey investigations, bulk sampling, development of specifications and drawings, and construction period services. All designs shall be accomplished in accordance with VA guidelines and specifications, which are available on the Internet at http://www.cfm.va.gov/til/. DB A/E shall pay particular attention to NFPA, BOCA, VA Handbook 7610 space criteria and VA Design Guide PG-18-10. SPECIAL NOTE: Be reminded that the VA guidelines are just a guide, and the project is not bound by them.
