VISN 2: NEW YORK/ NEW JERSEY VA HEATHCARE NETWORK 632-21-120: Install Hazard Shower & Eyewash Stations Statement of Work (SOW) July 12, 2023 TABLE OF CONTENT: Section Description 1.0 Scope 1.1 NARA Records Management 1.2 Information Security Privacy 1.3 Contractor Confined Space Entry Requirements 1.4 Infection Control Risk Assessments (ICRA) General Notes 2.0 Tasks 3.0 Implementation of Work 4.0 Period of Performance (PoP) 5.0 Additional Notes 1.0 SCOPE The Contractor shall provide all manpower as required, including all technical and logistical resources, and perform all operations necessary to provide the following services and develop the deliverables as described in this document. Note that the terms Contracting Officer Representative (COR) and Contracting Officer Technical Representative (COTR) may be used interchangeably and refer to the same entity. This project is located at the Veteran Affairs (VA) Northport NY campus at 79 Middleville Road, Northport NY 11768. The campus contains approximately 268 acres, approximately 107 of those acres have been declared a Historic District. The Northport VA campus was opened in 1928 as a neuropsychiatric veteran s hospital and consists of numerous facilities providing physical infrastructure for patient care, research, education and administration. Due to modifications that were done to the structures over the years, the existing emergency eyewash and shower stations may not be adequate for the current space program or may not be required at all. Emergency eyewashes and showers are first aid rather than preventive measures and must be readily available in spaces where occupants may be exposed to hazardous chemicals. Emergency eyewash and shower stations are not to be used in lieu of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). Evaluation of areas for emergency eyewashes and showers was conducted as if PPE were not used. The scope of this project is to provide new emergency eyewash and drench shower stations to the required spaces and upgrade or remove existing stations. The Contractor shall furnish labor and materials and perform work for installations, upgrades, or removal of emergency eyewash and shower stations as shown on contract documents (E.G. SOW, drawings, schedules, specifications). Work may include general demolition, construction, alterations, mechanical, electrical, & plumbing work, necessary for the successful execution and completion of the project. This document adheres to the requirements of: The Joint Commission Perspectives (March 2021) VHA Directive 7704: Emergency Eyewash and Shower Program (October 12, 2021) ANSI Z358.1- 2014 Specification 22 40 00 section 2.4: Emergency Fixtures VA Plumbing Design Manual (https://www.cfm.va.gov/til/dManual/dmPlbg.pdf) VA Plumbing Specifications (https://www.cfm.va.gov/TIL/spec.asp#22) The contract completion time is 300 calendar days from receipt of Notice to Proceed. Work shall be governed by: This Statement of Work (SOW), Attachment 1: Equipment Schedule Attachment 2: Building Floor Plans Attachment 3: Project Specifications Hazard Assessments: Veterans Affairs Medical Center Northport (VAMC) Safety Office has performed hazard assessments, including a review of the chemicals used, across the facility to determine where emergency drench showers and eyewashes are needed for immediate use when exposure to corrosive materials occurs. Assessments were completed as a prelude to the development of this Procurement Package whenever a change in chemicals, processes, or controls could result in changes warranting the addition or removal of emergency drench showers and eyewashes. This work may require after-hours or weekend work implementation due to ongoing Service location processes, and/ or requirements for water supply shutdowns following lockout-and tagout procedures in coordination with VA COR and Plumbing Shop. Identification of deficiencies are to be itemized before implementation of work during walkthroughs, however, when additional issues are identified during work processes, notifications will be provided to the Project COR for resolution. Contractors and subcontractors are responsible to confirm conditions before the initiation of work. Accessibility Criteria: Emergency flushing equipment should be located: In accessible locations that require no more than 10-seconds (or 55ft) unobstructed travel (no latching doors) and on the same level as the hazard. This distance may need to be reduced at areas where extremely corrosive chemicals are used. In a well-lit area. Water flow is established between 33-inches and 53-inches from the standing grade, and minimum 6-inches from a wall, free of obstructions. The eyewash station must have hands-free, stay-open valves (single action operation so that, after actuation, water continues to flow). In an area clear of any obstruction that may impede employee access. Employees will not be required to pass through a locked or latched doorway. Worker must be able to flush both eyes simultaneously for at least 15 minutes. In a location marked by highly visible signage. Placement and design must meet accessibility requirements of the Architectural Barriers Act (when applicable), VA Barrier Free Design Guide (PG-18-13) and latest edition of the VA Plumbing Design Manual. Selection Criteria: Only ANSI-approved eyewashes and drench showers shall be purchased and installed. ANSI-approved self-contained eyewashes are acceptable upon review and approval by the facility Safety Manager. Portable eyewash stations must also meet ANSI Z358.1-2014 requirements. Personal eyewash flushing bottles are acceptable only if the hazard is biological. Installation: Emergency eyewashes and drench showers will be installed in accordance with manufacturer's specifications, VA specifications and ANSI installation standards. The equipment must be installed on a system capable of delivering the required quantity and temperature of water. Provide Domestic Cold and Hot water lines for each emergency eyewash/ shower Station. Refer to Attachment #1 for additional requirements. Provide new Isolation valves on the Domestic Cold & Hot water supply lines for maintenance purposes. Provisions shall be made to prevent unauthorized shut off. The tepid water line shall be supplied by an ASSE approved Thermostatic Mixing Valve (TMV). All emergency eyewashes and drench showers will deliver tepid water (60-100 degrees Fahrenheit). No emergency eyewash or drench shower will be connected solely to a hot water supply. Obtain COR approval prior to setting the final TMV temperature set point. Emergency showers shall be capable of delivering flushing fluid at a minimum of 20 GPM for a minimum of 15 minutes. Emergency eyewashes shall be capable of delivering flushing fluid to the eyes not less than 0.4 GPM for 15 minutes. Emergency shower shall provide a flushing fluid column that is at least 82in and not more than 96 in. in height from the surface on which a user stands. Control valve shall remain open without the use of the operator s hands until intentionally closed. All new domestic water pipe, fittings and components shall be insulated and labeled properly. Portable wall hung emergency eyewash units shall be properly fastened to the wall / structure. Confirm and coordinate with COR prior to installing for review and approval of fastening method. Removal/Demolition: Emergency eyewashes and drench showers determined to no longer be needed are to be tagged as Do Not Use , water supply turned off, work order submitted for priority removal, and removed from service as soon as possible. Dedicated fixture water supply piping leading to decommissioned emergency eyewash and/ or drench shower units will be cut back to the nearest active branch/main and capped to prevent dead legs. All removed/ discarded devices shall remain on-campus until determined otherwise by COR. Activation and Testing: 1. Engineering Service will maintain emergency eyewashes and drench showers in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications and ANSI Z358.1. Modifications that void the ANSI approval are not allowed. Each new and existing device shall be fitted with a new test tag (from the manufacturer). Water preservative solution bottles shall be administered as required and documented. 1.1 NARA RECORDS MANAGEMENT Contractor shall comply with all applicable records management laws and regulations, as well as National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) records policies, including but not limited to the Federal Records Act (44 U.S.C. chs. 21, 29, 31, 33), NARA regulations at 36 CFR Chapter XII Subchapter B, and those policies associated with the safeguarding of records covered by the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a).
