Summary of Specifications:
SECTION 130000 PREFABRICATED RESTROOM BUILDING OPTION 1) TO INCLUDE COMPLETE FOOTING OPTION 2) FOOTING PROVIDED BY OUTSIDE CONTRACTOR A. General, Specifications and Clarification of Prefabricated Building and Site Installation 1. This portion of the bid specifications does not follow the CSI standard format as the prefabricated structure in this bid is an offsite constructed “product” and not “typical” general construction. 2. The installation of the product on site is general construction which must be coordinated between the general contractor and the supplier. Specifications for the building foundation/pad shall be provided herein by the specified design/build supplier. Due to the responsibility of the specified building supplier for architecture, engineering and a 20 year structure warranty and a 5 year component warranty, the site pad/foundation must meet the suppliers design so the pad and building can be considered from a single source for warranty purposes. The supplier must accept the pad and compactions tests before they take responsibility for the entire system under their warranty. B. Architectural Design/Engineering and Insurance Responsibility 1. While the Village of South Nyack has provided bid specifications and a design for the building, the building design/build supplier remains legally responsible for architecture, engineering, and all applicable building, safety, health, fire, and accessibility code compliance. Since they hold professional design responsibility to the owner, the building supplier must furnish certification that they provide product liability insurance in the amounts required by the general specifications to cover property damage and personal injury. Final drawings shall be stamped by a New York engineer and State of New York Division of Code Enforcement and Administration, suitable for local permitting. C. Errors and Omissions Insurance 1. The building design/build supplier must also provide an additional Professional Architectural and Engineering Errors and Omissions insurance, in the minimum amount of $2,000,000, to cover claims against the owner or the general contractor for State and Federal ADA handicapped accessibility and other design/engineering code issues. This Errors and Omission Policy must remain in effect for 5 years from the completion and owner acceptance of the project. Products liability insurance (since it does not cover professional design responsibility only) will be insufficient for this bid and will be cause for rejection of the bidder. D. Insurance for the Building offsite, while in transit, and/or on site until turn over and final owner acceptance 1. The supplier may request invoicing for a percentage of building completion in-plant, monthly. Under UCC law, this means that the supplier is turning over responsibility for the portion invoiced to the owner yet the building will not be on the owner’s property and may not be covered by the owners insurance. Therefore, the building supplier must provide a separate insurance policy insuring the owner and general contractor as additionally insured for liability, damage and/or vandalism to the building while in the manufacturing facility, while in transit, and/or while in at a certified bonded facility or at the final project site for up to $200,000 for each prefabricated building module, until the building is final accepted by owner. E. General Contractor Coordination with Design/Build Supplier 1. The specified prefabricated public restroom building requires coordination between the General Contractor (who prepares the site pad and delivery access for the prefabricated building) and the prefabricated restroom building supplier (who completes the architectural design, engineering, off-site building construction, delivery and installation on site.) The specified prefabricated restroom building specifications include unique components/systems which are custom to the restroom building supplier. Since the restroom supplier is responsible for design, additional insurance requirements for errors and omissions is required. F. General Contractor, General Scope of Work 1. The general contractor for this project is responsible for the site survey and staking the building location, finished slab survey elevations and marking on site, construction and compaction of the required building pad; access to the site for a large crane and tractor trailers delivering the prefabricated building; providing water, sewer, and power at a point of connection (POC) within 6 feet of the building and at the depth required by the building subcontractor and local code; and the installation of any sidewalks outside the building footprint. 2. The general contractor is responsible for verification to the building subcontractor design/build firm that there are no unanticipated site delivery issues such as overhead wires, trees, tree roots, or existing grade changes and that prevent a clear path of travel between a roadway and the final site exists for a tractor trailer and crane to expedite delivery. The design/build supplier requires that the general contractor certify that the required delivery crane must be able to set the building module/modules within 35’ distance from the center of the building to the center of the crane hoist. G. Supplier/Prefabricated Restroom Building, General Scope of Work 1. The prefabricated restroom building specialist will provide to the general contractor final building design architectural drawings and engineering calculations under the responsibility of a licensed structural engineer, in compliance with all local, state and federal codes. The design/build supplier shall construct the building offsite as a permanently relocatable building, transport it to the final required destination, and install the building turnkey, (to 6’ from the building footprint) on a general contractor prepared pad per the drawings included in this bid.
