This comprehensive project, documented as 100% Stamped Final Design, involves a fully sprinklered design for Building 12. The file includes a detailed drawing index covering general, hazardous materials, civil, structural, architectural, fire protection, plumbing, process, mechanical, and electrical plans. Key aspects include mobilization plans for contractors, hazardous abatement procedures for asbestos-containing materials (e.g., window sashes, thermal system insulation) and lead-based paint, and environmental awareness notes regarding fluorescent bulbs and ballasts. Civil plans detail site work, utility management, and excavation safety, while the condensate phasing diagram outlines piping and pump configurations for boiler commissioning. The project emphasizes strict adherence to safety regulations, environmental compliance, and detailed coordination among trades to ensure continuous operations during the upgrade.

The "DESIGN BOILER REPLACEMENT" project at Canandaigua VAMC involves replacing the existing campus boiler plant with a new steam generation system in a Building 12 addition. The project includes extensive demolition of existing equipment and hazardous materials abatement. Key work items encompass civil modifications for new utility lines, significant structural alterations to support new equipment and create workshop/storage areas, and architectural updates including new windows and interior renovations. Fire protection systems will be extensively modified, converting dry-pipe to wet-pipe systems and upgrading fire alarm devices. Plumbing will be modified for new restrooms and boiler systems, while mechanical work focuses on installing three new firetube boilers, a SCADA control system, and refurbishing HVAC equipment. Electrical power systems will be upgraded with LED lighting and new receptacles, and control/monitoring systems will be integrated with the new SCADA system. The project emphasizes maintaining continuous Medical Center operations, requiring careful phasing and coordination with VA staff, with a 30-day continuous operation period for the new boiler system before decommissioning the old one.
