Scope of Contract Provide all labor, materials, tools, and equipment, and design-build services necessary for the design and construction of a project described here in other specific tasks as further defined by this request for proposal (RFP). This project proposes to provide design-build services to use engineered risk mitigation tools to prevent falls from the existing parking structure. The products used shall coordinate with the existing structure and architectural aesthetics and seismic requirements. Royal Oak Metal Craft Grass Fence has been evaluated as meeting the aesthetic intent of the project. The different areas of the structure that will be addressed are the intermediate and the top floor. All exterior face openings of the parking garage where a fall of greater than 8 feet, exterior openings at the elevators' area from the 2nd floor and above, and the ramp openings must be included in the design. Also, the modifications of the lighting protection for the upper-level fence shall be included as part of the design. The design and construction must comply with the VA "Parking Design Manual and Demand Model" and Architectural, Structural, Electrical, and Physical Security and Resiliency Manuals (PG-18-10 Design Manuals), PG-18-15 Volume C Minimum Requirements for A/E Submissions, PG-18-1 Master Construction Specifications and other requirements applicable to this type of project that could be found in the VA Technical Information Library (TIL) website. https://www.cfm.va.gov/til/. All materials to be used in this project shall be weatherproof, resistant to a salinity environment. The fence must be made of aluminum and all screws, connections, connectors for lighting protection, etc. shall be tamper-proof and made of a material that resists the conditions mentioned above and galvanic corrosion with aluminum. Fence finishes should include 5 years maintenance-free. Colors will be selected by the VAMC. Materials for the lighting protection shall comply with the VA's Electrical Manual, Federal, State, Local, and standard practice requirements. The Structural Engineer from the DB Team needs to verify the location of the existing structural reinforcement to ensure the connections between the fence panels and the existing structure comply with the minimum requirements. Because there is steel reinforcement in the existing parapet wall, not all the anchors will be able to be driven perpendicular to the surface. The DB A/E must be aware and shall provide a solution for that condition. The Architect shall ensure all fence panels, connections, corners, and ends are designed for the specific field conditions of the Parking Garage.
