- Description
- This is a Sources Sought Notice for the following services related to VA Medical Center projects 528A5-11-501, 502 and 503; "AE Design Services." The VA Medical Center, Canandaigua, New York is seeking professional architect/engineering firms to provide construction documents, working drawings, specifications, cost estimates, and other related design services to include construction period services as required to design for the replacement of condensate lines in the corridor trenches of three buildings. The design will be completed in a manner such that the estimated construction cost is within the VA budget. EXISTING CONDITIONS The condensate lines in the trench from the south of building 4 through the corridors to the north of building 3 must be replaced. The lines leak condensate and are deteriorating the tunnel floor and building structures. The insulation on the lines is asbestos, fallen off of the pipes for the most part and must be abated. WORK ENVIRONMENT The work area is the corridors that run through and connect the basements of buildings 4, 2 & 3. This area is heavily traveled and there are numerous functions in the rooms off these corridors. All work must be carefully phased so as not to interfere with the patients, staff or the functions in these areas. PHASING A phasing plan must be developed to address the pedestrian access to the rooms and functions that are on the construction side of the corridors. It may be necessary to design an alternate traffic pattern to and from these corridors into some of the function rooms. These may include enclosed, outside walkways where necessary. PROJECT SCOPE This scope combines three (3) projects, refer to drawing # 2909 for the location of the work. The work scope is essentially the same for each project. The trench must be opened under containment, the asbestos abated, the condensate pipes replaced and all tie-ins re-connected. A.BUILDING 4 CONDENSATE TRENCH - PROJECT # 528A5-11-501 1.Temporary barrier must be constructed, with provision for pedestrians to continue using corridor adjacent to work area. a.This corridor is heavily traveled so a plan must be developed to execute the work while still providing for the safe travel of clients and staff from adjacent buildings to the services in B-4. b.Consideration must also be given to the Canteen Services function so that their work can continue with minimal interruption. The canteen operates 5 days a week, 7:00 am to 3:30 pm. c.The Canteen kitchen is on the opposite side of the hallway. Therefore provision must be made to accommodate the transfer of food across the hall during open hours. d.Some or all work may have to be planned for after business hours when there is less traffic through the corridor. B.BUILDING 2 CONDENSATE TRENCH - PROJECT # 528A5-11-502 1.Temporary barrier must be constructed, with provision for pedestrians to continue using corridor adjacent to work area. a.This corridor is heavily traveled so a plan must be developed to execute the work while still providing for the safe travel of clients and staff from adjacent buildings through this hallway. b.Consideration must also be given to the dietetic function so that their work can continue with minimal interruption. c.Some or all work may have to be planned for after business hours when there is less traffic through the corridor. C.BUILDING 3 CONDENSATE TRENCH - PROJECT # 528A5-11-503 1.Temporary barrier must be constructed, with provision for pedestrians to continue using corridor adjacent to work area. a.This corridor is heavily traveled so a plan must be developed to execute the work while still providing for the safe travel of clients and staff in this corridor. b.Consideration must be given to the staff and residents using the elevator from the 1st and 2nd floors. A plan must be developed to allow this elevator to remain in service during demolition and construction. c.Some or all work may have to be planned for after business hours when there is less traffic through the corridor. CONSTRUCTION 1.Saw cut and remove concrete above condensate trench. 2.Abate asbestos containing pipe insulation and any mastic on the cover. 3.Replace the condensate pipes with Type K Hard Drawn, Seamless Copper, Extra Heavy, the same size as existing pipe. 4.Re-insulate condensate pipe with cellular glass, closed cell foam, +900F 0 water vapor emission. 5.Provide positive drainage in the condensate trench in each building. Slope to a new sump pit at the south end of each corridor. 6.Install removable, 2' wd. X 8' lg. trench covers. The covers are to be ½" thick, aluminum covers to accept VCT flooring. The covers should be placed at tie-in points. Where no tie-ins exist for some distance, covers should be spaced 40' apart at the furthest.
