Description
The Department of Veterans Affairs is soliciting proposals for the remediation of the Reserve Center Underground Storage Tank (UST) at the James E. Van Zandt VA Medical Center. The project requires the establishment and maintenance of a site-specific water safety plan, which includes installer experience, license, and certifications, temporary service connections, delivery and storage of domestic water materials, installation procedures, post-installation procedures, and a general knowledge of VA temperature requirements. The contractor must also ensure the infection control risk assessment is conducted with facility stakeholders to address the potential impact of construction and maintenance of water systems on growth or transmission of waterborne pathogens and commissioning requirements.
Some key requirements of the project include:
• Establishing and maintaining a site-specific water safety plan
• Ensuring proper separation of domestic water connections
• Protecting and cleaning water lines and equipment
• Conducting risk assessments and testing for waterborne pathogens
• Installing and commissioning water systems and equipment
• Ensuring temperature requirements are met for hot and cold water systems
• Providing documentation and record-keeping for the project
