C--528A6-19-605 Design Replace Roof B76

The general scope of this project is for design services to remove and replace the existing slate roof of building 76 which is the main hospital building at the VA Medical Center located in Bath, New York. The A/E shall work with Facility Staff to provide a plan and provide alternate roofing options which will maintain the buildings historical status. All designs will follow the VA design guidelines, and specifications for VA construction. The design will be completed in a manner such that the estimated construction cost is within the VA budget. EXISTING CONDITIONS The existing six story structure was constructed in 1938. The existing wood framed pitched slate roof has reached the end of its useful life. There have been many repairs and slate shingle replacements over the years. The VA is concerned with the safety of staff and patients due to the potential of falling roofing material as well as falling ice & snow due to the lack of an ice melt system along the roof edge. A/E SCOPE OF SERVICES 1. Provide investigative and schematic services, construction documents, working drawings, specifications, cost estimate, shop drawing review and construction period services as required to provide replacement of the existing roof. Services will include all Architectural or other Engineering work associated with this project. Final design submission shall include phased drawings of all abatement, demolition, and construction work as required to allow the continuous use of all the floors and areas associated around each construction area. 2. Provide contract specifications utilizing the VA Master Specifications available at www.cfm.va.gov/TIL/. Edited specifications are to be provided to the Bath VAMC electronically by either email or on a CD rom. All edited specifications are to be edited to the specified project and have all impertinent specs and information removed. 3. Attend design review meetings and make all necessary site visits during design to gather information necessary from the existing sites, building plans, utility plans, interview kitchen staff, etc. to provide a complete assessment of the proposed work. 4. Assess the intent and scope of this project and work with the Medical Center staff to develop final working drawings and cost estimate to best suit the needs and constraints of the government, while incorporating VAMC Bath Engineering Service, VA Network 2, or any other government comments. 5. Provide an electronic set and one (1) hard copy set of Architectural E1 (30 x42 ) size working drawings, specifications, and cost estimate at the 50%, 90% and the 100% review stage. Also, provide an electronic set and one (1) set of drawings stamped and signed by an Engineer licensed in the State of New York, specifications, and cost estimates at final design submission. Electronic set at 100% final stage is to be provided in both PDF and 2014 AutoCAD formats. 6. Upon completion of the 98% documents and prior to the red line and final adjustments, the A/E shall take the drawings and go completely through the design in the purposed spaces and make sure the contract drawings and specifications are 1. Feasible for construction and 2. Complete. 7. Project completion of construction documents, including final design, contract drawings, specifications, and cost estimate is to be 120 days from award of contract. 8. Provide a detailed material/labor cost estimate for construction of this project at the 100% review stage. 9. Attend pre-bid job walk and provide all engineering responses to questions asked by potential bidders and issue an addendum, if necessary. Attend pre-construction meeting. 10. Provide a technical review of all project submittals/shop drawings related to the project and provide all required responses to any design/conflict questions encountered in these areas during construction in an expeditious manner, (two-week turnaround on all submittals) max. 11. Provide expeditious responses to all design/conflict questions encountered during the construction term. 12. Upon completion of the project, the A/E will do a complete walkthrough and review (punch list) of the completed project work, for contractual obligation verification. 13. Upon completion of the project, provide a set of stamped Architectural E1 (30 x42 ) as-built drawings, as well as complete electronic sets in PDF and AutoCAD 2017 formats (including reference files/drawings/specifications).
