Renovate Canteen Dishwashing Room Utilities: 666-24-129 1

The Sheridan VA Medical Center (VAMC) is in needing a licensed contractor to supply plumbing services to the Canteen Dishwashing Room to provide utility upgrades to long standing deficiencies. This project will be located within Building 86 at 1898 Fort Road Sheridan, Wyoming 82801, within Building 86.

The VA is requesting construction services to correct the following identified issues:

The existing plumbing below the sink and dishwasher is currently out of code. The existing plumbing needs removed and reinstalled to meet plumbing code.

All below floor level valves shall be removed and replaced.

Demo existing waste lines back to the 4 main and install new waste line (approx. 40 lineal feet). Contractor to verify all dimensions.

Demo all existing plumbing below the sink, remove any unused valves & install new plumbing with water stops above the floor.

Install new isolation valves below the floor grade.

Cap water trough below floor and reconnect above floor.

Remove and replace existing Insinkerator or equal, waste disposal solenoid.

Included in the plumbing, the current configuration of the hot water service line to the dishwasher fails to reach an acceptable heat temperature until multiple wash cycles have been run, work is needed to install a heat recirculation line to improve the heated water temperature.

The floor drain constantly is clogged requiring multiple cleanout operations. Work is needed to remove the existing floor drain, patch the hole, plumb, and install a new floor sink assembly located to the west of the existing drain location.

This floor sink will be located below a newly installed hand sink (see plans for location).

The floor tile shall be removed, and the existing concrete floor shall be spalled and re-sloped to direct water to the new floor sink. New tile shall then be installed.

Install a new hand sink (see plans for location). Plumb with water stops above floor level and isolation valves below.

Room exhaust is inadequate to keep the room free of steam. Currently the intake is a floor diffuser attached vertically to the wall. Work is needed to upgrade the existing exhaust system, remove the existing intake, and
install a correct system to improve the functionality and adequately provide room exhaust.
