Non-business hours are from 5:00PM-6:00AM, M-F and on weekends and holidays. All contract personnel who will be working at the Kansas City VA Medical Center will attend a mandatory 1-hour safety and infection control training. This is a one-time training and is valid for one year. The training class occurs every Tuesday morning at 7:00AM in Building 6. Upon completion of the training, the contract personnel will then proceed to the 5th Floor in Building 15 to obtain a VA Identification Badge. The badge must always be worn while working on Medical Center property. Provide an Underwriters Laboratories (UL) approved, expansion joint assembly at locations indicated below. Contractor will first remove the existing expansion joint. With the existing expansion joint gap exposed, the concrete nose edges will be resurfaced and given a completely straight and level edge. To minimize the possibility of a trip hazard while passing over the expansion joint, the contractor will make sure there is no height variation from one side of the expansion joint to the other side. After the expansion joint has been prepared, the contractor will place new expansion joint material, using a 2-part polyurethane resin, such as Belzona, Balco (or equivalent), poured in the place of the old expansion joint. The entire process and procedure will be installed according to manufactures instructions and by factory trained and certified installers. Contractor will provide a copy of the manufacturer s installation instructions to the COR, prior to the start of project activities. New expansion joints will accommodate for joint size and height variations in adjacent surfaces, and the anticipated movement at the joint. Match or exceed the Fire/Smoke rating of the floor at the location of the expansion joints. Unless approved in writing by the COR, each expansion joint will be completed in its entirety before starting on another. At each expansion joint, the contractor will completely remove the entire expansion joint, to include all materials, hardware and adhesives prior to installing any new expansion joint materials. All work shall be installed in a neat and workmanlike manner. If the COR determines that certain parts of the installation is not satisfactory, the contractor will re-do the affected area at no cost to the government.

Infection control; dust control, fire retardant plastic barriers and negative air requirements using HEPA filtration at each location. The plastic barrier will be inspected prior to starting any work by a representative of the Infection Prevention Office. In the event of a true lifesaving, fire or disaster emergency, the plastic construction barrier will be removed by contractor to allow free flow of egress traffic. Contractor will provide a temporary overlay for emergencies so wheeled traffic can cross over bridged expansion joint. Construction Barrier will never be left unattended by contractor except for the period when the epoxy is curing. Contractor will maintain the fire rating of the floor at the end of each work shift. A UL approved firestopping brick/block or putty will be an approved temporary measure to maintain fire rating provided that the firestopping completely fills all voids and cavities.
