Description
Statement of Work
General Construction related Supplies and Materials for the KCVA “In-House Construction” Projects
A. Background:
The KCVA Campus is undergoing a reorganization and modification of its space in the current facility by
moving clinical spaces around the facility. These projects open up space in the main hospital for other
clinical use. This reduces congestion in clinic space, allowing for better patient care for the patients who will
use the new clinic space and for our patients who come to the hospital for care.
B. Description:
The Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) is to streamline and standardize the purchases of construction
related materials during multiple phases of medium-to-large renovations and new construction projects
performed by the KCVA Construction Crew over a five-year period. The procurement of these materials will
involve coordination with the Construction Supervisor of the KCVA. After the materials are ordered, the
KCVA will require the supply contractor to coordinate with the KCVA Construction Supervisor who is the
Contracting Officer Representative (COR) and/or a construction team Site Superintendent as designated by
the COR. Coordination discussions will address material delivery, verification of product purchase and
receipt, and tracking of supplied materials

various medium to large renovations and new projects. More details can be seen in Attachment B.

with the COR and/or designated Site Superintendent.
These projects vary in size from smaller scale to larger multi-phased renovations, new construction projects

surrounding Center Based Out-patient Clinics (CBOC). Projects listed below are subject to change due to
priority needs of the Medical Center and surrounding CBOC’s.

products/materials and exact quantities will be identified at the time of ordering, up to the maximum amounts
listed in Attachment B.
I. Wall Insulation
Cavity wall insulation is used to reduce heat loss through a cavity wall by filling the air space with
material that inhibits heat transfer. This immobilizes the air within the cavity (air is still the actual
insulator), preventing convection, and can substantially reduce space heating costs.
II. Acoustical Ceiling
A ceiling covered with or built of material with special acoustical properties.
III. LVT
(Luxury Vinyl Tile), which offers 3D printing technology which adds depth and realism, durability,
with a high-performance wear layer to a vinyl tile product.
IV. COVE BASE
Cove base tiles are usually used at the base of tiled walls in lieu of tile baseboards, to create a
seamless and watertight transition between the wall and the floor.
V. Handrail/Crash rail
Thick protectors that extend horizontally along a wall to prevent carts, light machinery and
personnel from causing damage during daily operations and maintenance.
VI. Terrazzo Base
Terrazzo is a composite material, poured in place or precast, which is used for floor and wall
treatments.
VII. Gypsum Board
Wallboard with a gypsum plaster core bonded to layers of paper or fiberboard; used instead of
plaster or wallboard to make interior walls.
