Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a Pre-Construction Risk Assessment (PCRA) permit template used by the VHA. It serves as a baseline for performing risk assessments for construction, renovation, and maintenance activities. The PCRA categorizes activity types and safety risks to determine necessary precautions to minimize impact on patients, employees, and contractors. It also outlines required control measures and coordination plans.

• Activity Details: Includes location (Building 1 Northwest Entrance), a brief description of the project (installing a concrete mobile equipment pad with earthwork and extensive concrete work, including utilities), activity type (Large-scale), project start/completion dates (10/01/2025 - 10/01/2026), and permit expiration date (10/01/2026).
• Control Measures: Details specific control measures required based on the activity type, including immediate replacement of ceiling tiles, weekly site visits, site-specific safety plans, hazard communication, and communication plans. For large-scale activities, it also requires excavation safety plans, dust control plans, pollution prevention plans, dig safe paperwork, crane lift plans, fall protection plans, and confined entry plans.
• Affected Adjacent Area Assessment: Requires identification of adjacent areas and coordination plans to prevent disruption to operations, especially in continuously occupied areas.
• Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA): Notes that an ICRA will be completed for inside work (plumbing and electrical) and that excavation and dust control plans will be reviewed by Infection Prevention.
• Permit Signatures: Includes signature lines for Project Manager, Safety Officer, and Chair of the Construction Safety Committee.

This document outlines the safety and risk management requirements for the project. Bidders should review the described activity, the identified hazards, and the required control measures (including specific plans like excavation, dust control, and fall protection) to understand the scope of safety compliance and coordination necessary for project execution. It also indicates the project duration and key dates.

This document is a VHA Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) template for construction, renovation, and maintenance activities. It serves as a baseline for performing ICRAs to determine the minimum infection prevention and control precautions needed for specific activities, considering activity type and patient risk.

• Activity Categorization (Table 1): Classifies work into categories A, B, C, or D based on scope, duration, and dust/debris generation.
• Affected Area Assessment (Table 2): Identifies areas impacted by the activity and adjacent areas, including points of contact.
• Patient Risk Category (Table 3): Assesses the risk level associated with patients in affected areas (Low, Medium, High, Highest).
• Level of Infection Prevention and Control Precautions (Table 4): Determines the required precaution level (I, II, III, or IV) based on the Activity Category and Patient Risk Category.
• Required Control Measures (Table 5): Details specific infection prevention and control measures for each precaution level (I-IV), including dust control, barrier construction, negative pressurization, and PPE.
• Completion Measures (Table 6): Outlines cleaning and HVAC verification requirements upon activity completion.
• Permit: A fillable permit form for Level III and IV activities, requiring specific control measures to be posted at the project site.
• Appendix A: Provides an alternative to outdoor exhaust requirements for interior construction space exhaust.

This document is crucial for understanding the infection control requirements and safety protocols that must be adhered to during any construction, renovation, or maintenance work within VHA facilities. Bidders involved in such projects must be aware of these requirements to ensure compliance, which may impact project planning, execution, and costs. The document outlines the necessary steps to mitigate infection risks, particularly in patient care areas.
