Z2DA--B1 Toilet Replacement (666-22-120)(VA-22-00077495)

B1 Toilets Replacement, Project # 666-22-120 STATEMENT OF WORK INTRODUCTION: The Sheridan, Wyoming VA Medical Center (VAMC), located at 1898 Fort Road, Sheridan, WY 82801, requires the replacement of several wall-mounted toilets in their Building 1 Women s Restroom. Building 1 serves as the Administrative Operations Center for the Medical Center. Wall-mounted, rear-outlet toilets were installed a few years ago during the renovation of Building 1. All existing toilets are manual-flush type. Recently, these toilets are pulling away from the walls and creating safety hazards. The toilet carriers are not supported properly in the walls, so the toilets rotate easily during use. The Women s Restroom has been temporarily closed until the safety hazards can be remedied. New floor-mounted, rear-outlet toilets must be installed to meet VA safety, cleaning, and infection control guidelines in the restroom.
