Project Scope:
The VA Medical Center White River Junction (VAMC WRJ) requires the services of a qualified firm to provide multiple Fire Door Assembly-related services. Required services include:
a campus wide survey of existing fire door assemblies,
annual inspections, and
repair services (as determined during the inspection phase)
VAMC WRJ campus, 215 North Main Street, White River Junction, VT, 05009, is a fully functioning medical center comprised of 39 buildings situated on 64 acres. The buildings are a mix of wood framed, two story residential style structures and multi-floor masonry structures. The campus is walkable and many of the buildings are interconnected. Access is straightforward with VA supervision. Building specific information (building number, usage, number of floors, age) can be found in the attached Master Building List. The goal of the survey portion of this contract is to identify every fire door assembly in each building across campus. The survey will include an in-person walkthrough of each building to determine the quantity and location of each fire door assembly within each individual building. There are approximately 300 fire door assemblies across campus. The results of the fire door survey and associated submittal only apply to the base year of this contract and will be used as the baseline document for the annual inspection process.
The contract shall include three separate pricing components:
Base Year:
Campus wide Fire Door Assembly Survey, which will apply only to base year pricing.
Fire Door Assembly inspection services and reporting.
Estimated repairs: A $7,000.00 contingency for repairs will be included each year.
Plus Four, option years:
Fire Door Assembly annual inspection and reporting.
Estimated repairs.
See table format at the end of this document.
Contract line items:
The contract is based on 300 fire door assemblies across 39 buildings. In addition to the Survey, Inspection and Repair line-item costs, provide a cost per door for:
Cost of an additional door survey and the cost of an individual fire door assembly inspection
In the event that more than 300 fire doors are identified. The additional fire door survey and/or inspection costs can be addressed via modification
In the event that fewer than 300 fire doors are identified, the cost per door will be de-obligated from the base year pricing.
Campus map and Master Building List are attached.
The base year, campus wide survey results will serve as the master list of fire door assemblies for the annual inspection portion of the contract.
Existing Site Conditions: The inspections will take place in occupied healthcare facilities. All activities will be completed in such a way as to minimize impact on staff and patients. Inspection activity will require constant coordination with VA personnel and may require Infection Control measures.

The service firm shall be responsible for verifying all existing conditions, quantities and locations that may affect the bid of this project.
