CONSTRUCTION SCOPE OF WORK
Contractor shall provide all labor, supervision, materials, equipment, tools, transportation, and incidentals necessary for modernization, refurbishment, installation, commissioning, and turnover of two existing D-Wing elevators P-5 and P-6 (hydraulic; 4,000 lb; 125 fpm; B/1/2 stops; duplex selective collective) serving the Emergency Room, Imaging, Laboratory, ICU, and Operating Rooms while maintaining hospital operations and life-safety. Work includes demolition of legacy systems, installation of non-proprietary modernization components, machine-room and pit code upgrades, cab and hoistway door refurbishments, ICRA-conforming phasing and barriers, commissioning, training, and full closeout. The finished elevators shall operate reliably and be executed in accordance with the final issued-for-construction documents, specifications, and applicable current VA, federal, state, and local codes and standards.
This project does require a site safety and health officer (SSHO) separate from the site superintendent.

Contractor shall furnish, install, test, and commission work in full compliance with:
ASME A17.1 (2022) Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators; acceptance test by QEI.
NFPA 70 (NEC 2023), IBC 2021, IMC 2024, IPC 2024 and applicable NFPA provisions.
OSHA (including asbestos and confined space standards, 29 CFR 1910/1926 as applicable).
VA directives, design manuals, and Master Specifications (PG-18-1); comply with VA safety signage, ICRA guidance, and VA Elevator design guidance.

Base bid shall include all items listed on the drawings and in the specifications.
Submit a detailed baseline schedule for VA approval, reflecting all phases of work, milestones, inspections, and commissioning activities.

Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) & work restrictions:
Mechanical room: ICRA Class III.
Elevator lobbies (active work): ICRA Class III; predominantly night work; plastic barriers removed each morning and reinstated nightly.
Elevator shafts: ICRA Class II with one car kept active during the other car s work scope.
Provide negative air, HEPA filtration, dust-tight barriers, sticky mats, and debris management per approved ICRA plan. Schedule noisy/vibration work off-hours. Maintain egress, fire-life safety, and hospital security at all times.

Phasing & sequencing (contractor to detail means/methods):

Phase 1 (60 days): Engineer/vendor submittals for long-lead equipment.
Phase 2 (120 days): Material acquisition; establish ICRA barriers.
Phase 3 (14 days): Demolish old equipment; begin pit work/sump base.
Phase 4 (21 days): Paint half the mechanical room floor at P-5; 7-day cure; route/rough-in sump discharge to mech room; defer mech room wall paint to Phase 10.
Phase 5 (60 days): Install P-5 modernization equipment (incl. lobby call stations).
Phase 6 (30 days): Paint P-5 pit walls/floor; test and turnover P-5.
Phase 7 (7 days): Re-set ICRA barriers; prep P-6 for work (COR inspection/approval).

Phase 8 (28 days): Demolish P-6 equipment; pit work and floor paint with 7-day cure.
Phase 9 (45 days): Install P-6 modernization equipment.
Phase 10 (30 days): Paint mechanical room walls and pits; test and turnover P-6; complete BMS/EMCS connections and testing.
Phase 11 (30 days): Project closeout, O&M/Training; commissioning completed.

Total of 445 days.
Protect adjacent finishes; cap/terminate abandoned utilities; manage, containerize, and dispose of waste per VA environmental procedures (recycle where practicable).

If ACM is confirmed, perform abatement under the approved plan before disturbance.
