Exhibit A
WLA Construction Advisory – B206 Renovation Start
Area of Impact
As a part of our continued effort to improve West Los Angeles Campus, construction crews will be starting renovation at B206. Since the building is partially occupied during construction, some personnel will need to be relocated until work is completed. Construction will be phased starting at the first floor in rooms that have already been vacated. Work will subsequently continue into the second floor. There will also be some noise disruption within OSHA limits during construction for personnel staying in the area. Specific work and utility shutdowns will be communicated to staff in advance through additional notices.
Work will take place inside the building for the majority of the project. The contractor and construction team shall take all safety precautions to ensure the safety of all VA staff during the construction period. The contractor will provide separation between the construction area and the VA staff areas, utilizing signs, fencing, plastic dust barriers (temporary protection system), etc.
