Statement of Work (SOW) / Performance Work Statement (PWS)

To outline and enforce infection control procedures during construction, renovation, or maintenance activities within a VA facility to minimize the potential for the spread of infections.

• General Requirements: Contractors must coordinate all infection control requirements with facility management, infection control program staff, and safety managers. A monitoring program is required to ensure rigorous implementation of measures.

• Containment: Installation of construction barriers, self-closing doors, dust control, sticky mats at entrances, and ante-rooms are required. Manometer monitors are needed for all construction barriers to ensure negative air pressure.

• Waste Disposal: Materials must be disposed of outside of normal hours unless otherwise arranged. Specific routes for transport of materials must be agreed upon. Contractors must cover carts and wear booties when disposing of materials.

• Cleaning: Sticky mats must be changed frequently, and floors must be mopped multiple times daily.

• Air Pressure: Continuous negative air pressure must be maintained within the worksite using HEPA units or exhaust fans directed outdoors. Monitoring devices are required to verify negative pressure.

• Activity Categories (A, B, C, D): Work is categorized based on duration, dust creation, and impact on building systems, determining the level of precautions needed.

• Patient Risk Categories (Low, Medium, High, Highest): Areas are assessed based on the patient population they serve.

• Levels of Precautions (I, II, III, IV): A matrix combines activity and patient risk categories to determine the required level of infection prevention and control measures.

• Negative Pressurization: A minimum of 0.01 inches/water gauge negative pressurization is required for Level III and IV precautions, monitored continuously with specific devices.

• The document specifies requirements for construction, renovation, or maintenance activities within the VA facility.

• Specific locations are indicated as "ALL FLOORS ARE AFFECTED."

• Barriers: Critical barriers meeting NFPA 241 requirements are necessary for Level III and IV precautions, extending to the ceiling or deck above.

• Anteroom: Required for Level IV precautions to ensure pressure control and provide space for staging, cleaning, and PPE.

• Worker Hygiene: Hand cleaning facilities, clean clothing, and shoe covers are required, with specific protocols for removal before exiting the work area.

• Permitting: An infection prevention and control permit is required for Level III and IV activities and must be posted at the project entrance.

• Completion: Specific cleaning and HVAC system checks are required upon completion of activities, with critical barriers remaining in place until work is completed and inspected.

Amendment / Modification

This document is an amendment (Amendment #0009) to the Request for Information (RFI) Log for the SEED 1, SEED 2, MATOC RFP. It provides clarifications and responses to vendor questions regarding various aspects of the project.

Key clarifications include:

• Stairwell and Bathroom Shutdowns: The facility will define the number of stairwells and bathrooms that can be shut down simultaneously for Phase 1 and Phase 2. Bidders should not make assumptions, as this will be treated as a change order.

• ICRA Barriers and Ante Rooms: Bidders must submit a detailed ICRA Plan for VA review. Ante rooms are required at each restroom construction area entry. Contractors should assume fully enclosed ante rooms with sufficient space for ingress/egress and staging. Compliance with the submitted ICRA plan will not constitute a change in scope.

• Door Frame Replacement: If a door frame is to be replaced, staff may need to be relocated, and coordination with the COR and the specific department is required. If only doors (without frames) are replaced, the existing door must be replaced before another is removed.

• Working Hours for Renovations: The VA cannot guarantee that all service lines will allow renovations during working hours; this will be on an individual basis.

• Asbestos Abatement: Contractors shall include sufficient abatement scope to cover full disturbance of all materials within identified renovation areas, including full door removal, complete removal of finishes within restroom limits, and localized abatement as required. This establishes a uniform bidding baseline.

• Integral Sinks: No integrated sinks are required; provide drop-in sinks as indicated on the bid set plumbing sheets.

• Clarifications are provided for various project aspects, including phasing, infection control, door replacements, asbestos, and sink types.

• The submission deadline for hard copies of technical and price proposals has been extended to June 24, 2026, by 4 PM Eastern. Electronic submissions remain unchanged, due June 17, 2026, by 2 PM Eastern.

Amendment / Modification

This document is an Amendment #0005 to the Request for Information (RFI) Log for SEED 1 - PROJECT 534-23-910. It contains a series of questions and answers between the government and potential bidders regarding various aspects of the project.

Key clarifications and responses include:

• Asbestos Abatement: Abatement of areas with ACM is required, except for transite pipe. If a product appears sole source without justification, it should be treated as Brand Name or Equal, with a formal substitution request required.
• Terrazzo: NTMA membership is not required for the terrazzo contractor. The final contrasting strip will be white terrazzo embedded in dark blue terrazzo with black abrasive bands.
• ICRA Requirements: Level IV precautions are required. A Level IV anteroom is not an acceptable alternative to air monitoring of negative air machine HEPA exhaust. Exterior exhaust locations will be determined during the ICRA plan review.
• Personnel: Superintendents can be dual-hatted to cover SSHO and QA/QC requirements. Dual/triple hatting is acceptable for key personnel roles such as Superintendent, SSHO, and QC Manager.
• Fire Doors: Fire doors identified for removal are presumed to contain asbestos-containing material (PACM) and will be handled as ACM unless laboratory testing proves otherwise. Removal, handling, packaging, transport, and disposal must be performed by a licensed abatement contractor.
• Demolition: Doors identified on Hazardous Materials Abatement drawings are to be removed by the Abatement Contractor. Other demolition work associated with doors not identified as ACM/PACM will be performed under Division 01/Division 08.
• Permitting: The contractor is responsible for obtaining all necessary permits, including environmental, hazardous materials, utility, and fire protection permits. VA internal approvals are also required for work affecting utilities, fire protection, or infection control.
• Firestopping: Firestopping must be installed by an FM Global approved contractor or a UL qualified firestop contractor.
• ICRA Plan: Contractors must submit a complete ICRA Plan for review and approval by the COR and Infection Control before work begins. Minimum ICRA assumptions for bidding include Class III for bathrooms (with anteroom and negative air) and Class II or III for stairwells (depending on dust generation).
• Phasing: Stairwells will need to be phased independently and may require shutdown for the duration of work completion. Bathrooms can be closed one at a time, concurrently with a stairwell. Night work is preferred for noise and vibration producing activities.

This amendment clarifies numerous sections of the original solicitation and contract documents, particularly those related to Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA), hazardous materials, personnel requirements, and construction phasing.

Bidders should review these clarifications carefully as they impact scope, safety protocols, personnel qualifications, and execution strategies. The information provided may affect pricing and scheduling. Specific details regarding abatement, ICRA, and personnel roles are particularly important for bidders to consider.
