One wall-mounted service sink faucet will be removed, and a new floor drain will be installed. The new floor drain will be installed in accordance with VA plumbing standards; the contractor is responsible for all related cutting, connection, and finishing. Piping will be routed vertically through three floors to the Operating/Surgery section and one floor to the Digestive/Endoscopy section.
