Existing report will be made available to the highest rated A/E firm. Conduct code compliance reviews (NFPA, ABAAS, VA Design Manuals, etc.) and integrate findings into design for compliance.
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. The A/E shall provide all services required to prepare documents and reports consistent with the VA s project team goals as prioritized during preliminary project meetings, field surveys and studies.
The A/E shall determine existing conditions, severity of deficiencies, if any previous deficiencies have been corrected and to identify any conditions which may have previously been unreported. Cost estimates shall be prepared to reflect the cost of replacing the component in a standalone project (i.e., not as part of another project) and all costs including but not limited to asbestos removal if required, special field conditions and/or temporary equipment needed during the construction.
