Description
The purpose of this amendment is to respond to vendor questions, publish updated Evaluation Factor 2, provide an updated Statement of Work (SOW) for Point of Contact (POC) update, and provide the sign-in sheet from the 7/8/2026 site visit. The project involves site preparation for SPS equipment at a VA facility. The work includes construction, renovation, and maintenance activities that require infection control risk assessments. The contractor must follow the VHA Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) template to determine the level of infection prevention and control precautions needed for the activity. The template provides minimum requirements for categorizing activity types and patient risk to determine the level of precautions needed to prevent infection risks.
Some key points to consider:
• The contractor must use the VHA ICRA template to determine the level of infection prevention and control precautions needed for the activity.
• The contractor must follow the control measures outlined in the template, including maintaining negative pressurization, using HEPA filters, and ensuring worker clothing is clean and free of visible dust.
• The contractor must also follow the requirements for removing critical barriers, including carefully removing screws and painter tape, using hand-held HEPA vacuum, and cleaning all stud tracks with HEPA vacuum.
• The project requires a high level of attention to detail and adherence to infection control protocols to ensure the safety of patients and staff.
