Design a support system under cantilever. The Schematic Design shall include a comprehensive study, inspection, and report of the existing project area conditions, which shall include HVAC, electrical, architectural components, plumbing, fire protection, asbestos, etc. A/E shall provide a preliminary construction duration period for planning purposes. This information shall be communicated to all bidders for their review and inclusion within their bids. It shall be communicated within the bid documents that the contractor will be required to review and provide any concerns regarding the projected construction duration. The project is to provide all necessary modification and additions to the VA NIHCS existing building structure. mechanical, electrical, information technology, fire suppression, and plumbing work as necessary for a functional design. A/E will be responsible for complete functional design and provide biddable documents meeting all the requirements. The VA Technical Information Library (TIL) available at http://www.cfm.va.gov/til/index.asp is managed by the VA Office of Construction and Facility Management.

Stated in the General Requirements Section 01010 of the VA Master Construction Specification Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality ASHRAE Standard 62.1 Safety Standard for Refrigeration Systems ASHRAE Standard 15 U.S. National CAD Standard Where conflicts exist between VA adopted codes and standards and the documents on the TIL, the A/E shall bring this to the attention of the VA. The resolution of the conflict shall be made by the authority having jurisdiction for VA to ensure consistency department wide. Designs for construction must produce a complete and usable facility or improvement when constructed. VA policy (VHA Office of Capital Assets Management, Engineering and Support memo Updated Construction Guidance and Expectations dated Sep 12, 2016) requires the A/E to certify that their design (including all bid alternates/bid deducts) is independent of any future construction project. In addition, the A/E must certify that it has produced a design that does not include furniture and equipment that will be procured separately unless directed otherwise by the VA. Equipment that can be part of the design includes those items to meet code requirements for building occupancy, items covered in the VA s Master Construction Specifications (PG-18-1) Divisions 1 through 10, 13 through 26 or 28 through 48, non-IT equipment items covered by Division 27 and items covered by Division Numbers 12 31 00, 12 32 00, 12 34 00 and 12 36 00. The A/E shall submit as part of the Final Bid Documents submittal a signed letter on company letterhead stating the design s independence. The project is to provide all necessary modifications and additions to VA NIHCS existing building structure, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work. A/E shall be responsible for reviewing existing conditions to locations planned for development. Existing drawings of are on file at the VA NIHCS for review by the A/E. Access to files shall be coordinated with the COR. The AE will employ a third-party construction cost estimator. The cost estimator is to be a separate, independent, un-biased and non affiliated entity sub-contracted by the A/E. The A/E may not use their own personnel to complete any requirements stated within the Cost Manual. All drawings shall adhere to VA project software requirements for Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Computer Aided Design (CAD) available at http://www.cfm.va.gov/til/projReq.asp. BIM software shall be Revit 2020 or the latest version available to VA NIHCS, Fort Wayne Campus. The project BIM model minimum requirements shall be developed to include the systems described below as they would be built, the processes of installing them and to reflect record drawing conditions (possibly incorporating into the Fort Wayne VAMC Master Record Drawing pending facility expertise). The deliverable model at the DD and CD design phases shall be developed to include as many of the systems described below (but not limited to) as are necessary and appropriate at that design phase.
