The hospital campus includes the Main Building (Building 2), Eye Clinic (Building 29), Audiology (Building 30) and the Cancer Building (Building 31), and the Valor Building (Building 32). The buildings require routing pressure wash cleaning to eliminate dirt, dust, spiderwebs, etc., and improve the overall appearance of the buildings. Ordinarily pressure washing a building, booms, lifts, ladders, and scaffolding are needed to safely access all areas of the buildings. The use of a drone with a water supply hose "tethered" to it, supplying the nozzle of the hose with filtered and heated water is safest, the least evasive way to perform building cleaning. With the latest drone cleaning technology, the use of extra equipment is not needed to access those hard-to-reach areas maintaining safe patient access to all medical buildings.

These services will utilize advanced technology, including drones and industrial-grade equipment, to ensure superior quality, efficiently and with minimal disruption to VA operations and patient care. SCOPE: Pre-Work Inspection: The contractor shall conduct a Pre-work Inspection to gather photo documentation and identify potential challenges. The contractor shall document the conditions of windows and facades before starting the cleaning process. Preparation: The contractor shall Set out construction cones and signs to notify the public of drone cleaning operations. The contractor shall ensure all necessary safety measures are in place to protect both workers and the public. The contractor shall provide a FAA-licensed Drone pilot. Cleaning Process: The contractor shall use a soft-washing technique that includes a combination of heated water, appropriate pressure, and customized cleaning solutions when necessary. The contractor shall use a heated water window cleaning technique and applied with moderate pressure. Interior Exterior Glass Cleaning: The contractor shall Squeegee all interior and exterior glass (below 20 feet) using brush/squeegee pole cleaning. Ensure windows are cleaned from edge to edge, resulting in dry, streak-free glass. Review and Quality Control: The contractor shall conduct a thorough review of the cleaned areas. Treat any missed sections to ensure consistent quality across all surfaces.
