Existing zone valves are either in a state of needed replacement or are non-functioning. Each zone valve shall isolate each floor independently without effecting any other areas. The current lack of zone isolation requires majority of the A-wing to be shut down. Therefore, the VA has requirements to add redundancy water supply lines to critical areas of the A-wing. Those critical areas are identified as SPS/SPD(Basement), Labs (2nd Floor), and Emergency Department (1st Floor). The A/E shall provide drawings of each isolation valve location with areas that are isolated by those valves. The A/E shall provide which valves provide redundancy to which critical area. The A/E shall provide a unique tag identification number for each isolation valve. The A/E shall provide documentation to be posted at each isolation valve location that lists each isolation valve with their corresponding tag identification number and a list of every area that isolation valve effects. The A/E shall provide a design All Valves Shall be butterfly Style Teflon Seated lug style valves.

Equipment that can be part of the design includes those items to meet code requirements for building occupancy, items covered in the VA s Master Construction Specifications (PG-18-1) Divisions 1 through 10, 13 through 26 or 28 through 48, non-IT equipment items covered by Division 27 and items covered by Division Numbers 12 31 00, 12 32 00, 12 34 00 and 12 36 00.

BIM software shall be Revit 2020 or the latest version available to VA Indianapolis. The project BIM model minimum requirements shall be developed to include the systems described below as they would be built, the processes of installing them and to reflect record drawing conditions (possibly incorporating into the Indianapolis VAMC Master Record Drawing pending facility expertise).
