Z2DA--A/E to Correct Phys Security Deficiencies (VA-21-00046428)

General: The Salisbury VAMC campus has various physical security deficiencies that need to be corrected. The selected Architect & Engineering (A/E) firm will provide all administration, supervision, labor, materials, tools and equipment, and perform all operations necessary to assess the deficiencies and develop a viable construction project to correct the faults in order to bring the campus into compliance. (See Technical Requirements). Work will be performed in accordance with all current Salisbury VAMC policies, procedures and best practices involving design and construction operations. The end state is the elimination of repeated inspection failures. 2. Overall Project Scope: Multiple faults exist across the campus in various secured areas . These encompass several construction trade categories and include up and over above ceiling situations, upgrades to door security involving Lenel card reader installation, security camera installations, and screening for windows in high-security areas. A/E will investigate and assess these faults and develop a comprehensive construction project for correction. 3. Administration and Coordination: COVID-19 Restrictions: Currently, masks are required for all personnel working within the VAMC and certain buildings on main campus may be restricted or off limits. Although changes are unforeseeable, all persons must comply with the most current COVID-19 requirements upon entering the campus. All contractors on campus are required to have current seasonal Flu shots and negative TB test results. The latest requirements can be provided prior to start of any on-site work. Coordinating Instructions: The design will be heavily influenced by VA Police physical security requirements and door lock systems currently in use. A/E will be provided a point of contact with the relevant departments for design input and approval purposes, to be coordinated through the VA Project Manager/COR who must be informed prior to any direct coordination with these or any other VA services or departments. Final inspections require the written approval of VA Police to be considered valid. Additional input may be necessary from the VA Electric Shop, OIT department, the Infection Control Practitioner (IPC), and VA Safety. Many, if not all, of the project sites will require VA personnel as escorts due to their high security classification unless otherwise arranged. This must be coordinated in advance and will impact accessibility. Design Period Services Period of Performance. Completion of construction documents, including final design, contract drawings, specifications, proposed construction schedule and cost estimate is to be 90 calendar days from contract award. Conduct site visits as required to determine existing conditions concerning the project. All site visits will be coordinated through the PM/COR. With notice, VA Lock Shop personnel, VA Police and the OIT department can be available to assist with inspection of the facilities. Upon completion of actual construction, AE should be prepared to participate as a member of the final inspection team. Recommend and attend design review meetings and make all necessary site visits during design to gather information necessary from the existing conditions in order to provide a complete assessment of the proposed work. Provide a 20% schematic layout review with potential fault correction alternatives to be reviewed by the VA for proper direction prior to proceeding to 60% design. At 60% design review stage provide one set of working drawings along with one set of specifications, and one cost estimate along with one CD of the package. Note: the 60% stage should not exceed 55 days from contract award date. At the final 100% design submission, submit three (3) copies of design documents to include all specifications, materials and quantities, and detailed cost estimates. Also provide 2 CDs of a set of PDF Electronic prints stamped and signed by a Professional Engineer or Registered Architect, identical data in an AutoCAD 2013/2019 compatible format, along with electronic specifications in Microsoft WORD and estimate in Microsoft Excel. Provide an acceptable File Transfer site (FT) for use during the project. The A/E FT site must be secure (password protected), user friendly for uploading/downloading of files, and organized for easy file retrieval by the VA PM/COR, Contracting Officer (CO), and VA authorized contractors. Post Design and Construction Period Services Upon request, assist the VA to determine whether a potential bidder, contractor or subcontractor meets qualification requirements, supported by written recommendations noting any problems or litigation encountered in the past based on first-hand AE knowledge. Attend the construction pre-bid job walk, provide engineering responses to questions from potential bidders and issue any necessary addendum(s). Assist in responding to RFIs submitted by potential bidders within the allotted RFI timeframe as determined by the construction project Contracting Officer. Provide expeditious engineering responses to all design/conflict questions encountered during the construction term. Be available to call in to scheduled or special construction meetings if requested by the VA. Review and provide replies to contractor generated RFIs within five (5) working days if requested by the VA project manager/COR. Review and provide recommendations to contractor generated RFPs and cost estimates within ten (10) working days. Provide for a minimum of four (4) construction period site visits: These will be to review general progress of construction activities, conduct inspections, gather red-line data and make recommendations. These will be on an on-call basis only (within three working days of request) whereby AE will provide appropriate trade expertise if required. Unused visits will be an itemized cost adjustment on the final invoice. If requested by VA, participate in a separate pre-acceptance inspection and generate punch list items for completion. The punch list shall reference the contract documents for specific deficiencies (i.e. specification section, drawing detail, etc.). Any visits requested by the VA beyond the above will be negotiated and scheduled during construction. Note: site visits made due to errors or omissions in design will be at no cost to the Government and are not included in the above. The need for As-Built documents or drawings is minimal, if any. However, A/E will assist with approval of any construction phase deviations and provide a detailed summary of these changes to VA upon completion of the construction project. This requires the A/E s stamp and will be provided before final payment is issued. Transpose any contractor as-builts to AutoCAD 2013/2019 file type and provide a set of updated as-builts and specifications on CD to the VA project manager and to the AE File Transfer site within 30 days of receipt. 3.

Commercial Telecommunications and Data Connection rooms: The following rooms have up and over access to adjoining rooms. Correction assumes use of 9 gauge expanded metal mesh screening, to be fit so as to reduce any remaining openings to less than 96 square inches. Screen will be secured such that screening and/or fasteners can only be dismantled from inside the secured area. Rails and/or framing, where needed, must extend from lower to upper deck. Mesh should not exceed 2-inch length/width openings. Other means of corrections, such as blocking up walls, can be implemented on a case by case basis. Construction is intended to be performed without relocating or adjusting utilities or other existing conditions. A base drawing showing the screen installation layout with attachment method common to all locations is acceptable, provided any special requirements or deviations applicable to any specific location(s) are clearly noted.
