Description

An award will not be made on information received in response to this notice. This notice is not a Request for Proposal (RFP); it is a market research tool being utilized to determine the availability of sources prior to issuing a Best Value type RFP. Project description and scope
- This contract is for CONSTRUCTION services for the work required to replace the existing roof and associated components on Building 51 at the St. Louis Medical Center Jefferson Barracks.
- Description: Construction services: Furnish complete construction services to replace all designated Building 51 roofs, including projections, entrance roofs, and connecting portions.
The preliminary net roof area is approximately 56,000 square feet, subject to field verification. Provide a watertight thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roofing system in accordance with the VA-prepared drawings and specifications. Contractor shall submit shop drawings, product data, and installation details for all proposed materials, equipment, and systems to be installed or replaced under this contract for VA review prior to commencing the associated work.
Submittals shall include applicable manufacturer's specifications and required engineering certifications. Schedule, phasing, and occupied operations: Complete construction and closeout within 222 calendar days after the Notice to Proceed issue date. Building 51 remains occupied and operational 24 hours per day, seven days per week.
Work hours are from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., local time. Submit a contractor-developed phasing plan for the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) to review before roofing. Complete both highest penthouse roof platforms first on the original building and the highest roof section first on the addition; either building portion may be started first.
Maintain safe access, utilities, and required infection-control and HVAC-intake protection. Provide construction fall protection and keep the building watertight; coordinate service interruptions with the VA. Investigation and Roofing Requirements: a. Hazardous Materials: While neither Asbestos Containing Material nor Lead is expected to be encountered within the scope of this project, it will be the responsibility of the contractor to hire an independent 3rd party VPIH to complete the related work if they are to encounter a material that they deem suspicious. b. Demolition limit: At the original building (Zones 1-7, 13, and 14), remove the existing roofing assembly through the base sheet to the top of the Zonolite lightweight-concrete topping; retain the topping and underlying structural concrete deck.
At the addition (Zones 8-12 and 15), remove the existing roofing assembly, including insulation and intervening layers, to the top of the metal roof deck; retain the deck and supporting structure. Clean and inspect retained surfaces, and repair deterioration within specified repair limits. Report differing construction or deterioration beyond those limits to the COR before proceeding with affected work. c. New roof and mechanical securement: Install mechanically fastened rigid insulation, adhered cover board, and fully adhered 70-mil TPO roofing membrane with continuous hot-airwelded seams.
Contractor shall verify that the proposed fastening system is compatible with Building 51's existing roof construction. d. Parapets, penetrations, and retained metal: Extend new roofing up parapets to the existing flashing. Flash and seal, with the correct system specific boots, all roof penetrations with compatible membrane extending at least 8 inches above the finished roof, or higher where required by applicable VA criteria and manufacturer/warranty requirements.
Retain metal flashings, flanges, and coping unless scheduled for replacement, and replace roofing beneath retained metal. Specific Replacement and Repairs: e. Associated roof work: Retain rooftop HVAC units in place and replace roofing beneath elevated units and frames and around curbs. Replace old or deteriorated wooden rooftop support blocks with load-rated black rubber blocks compatible with the roofing; retain serviceable recently replaced blocks.
Replace roof-drain covers/strainers and recondition retained drains with watertight connections. Reflash existing scuppers and provide new scuppers only where detailed; retain gutters and downspouts unless otherwise indicated. Correct approximately 250 square feet of depressed roof on the original building's middle section north of the penthouse to provide positive drainage.
Replace expansion-joint weatherproofing/cover material at two original-building sections, approximately 40 linear feet each. Temporarily remove and reinstall the existing lightning-protection system in its original locations and configuration with new clips securing it; complete specified testing and certification. Repair approximately 150 linear feet of the existing movable stanchion-andrope warning-line barrier.
Replace the penthouse roof-access ladder to meet applicable VA safety requirements and OSHA criteria. Install 3-foot by 3-foot walking pads with 8-inch clear gaps along approximately 600 linear feet of total walkway route, including gaps. Provide positive drainage to roof drains and scuppers throughout all reroofed areas.
Standing water shall not remain more than 48 hours after rainfall ends under conditions conducive to drying. Correct low spots and other drainage deficiencies that prevent compliance before final acceptance. f. Skylights: Replace four skylights:
