Contractors are required to obtain field measurements before ordering products and provide photos for approval. Onsite assembly includes delivery of all materials to a designated storage area via the loading dock. The installation must be completed within 60 days of contract award. VAMC-specific policies include mandatory ID badges, adherence to a non-smoking policy, and strict infection control procedures. The contractor must also verify dimensions and obtain approval for any deviations from contract drawings.
