C1DZ--CLC Phase II (Minor) Design Erie VAMC (Project # 562-507)

SCOPE OF DESIGN The purpose of this procurement is to obtain all professional Architect-Engineer (A-E) Services for the Community Living Center - Phase II Project at the VAMC in Erie, Pennsylvania. The intent is to deliver a residential care environment that provides living, treatment, and support space in a residential, home-like setting for qualified veterans. The proposed project consists of a new one- or two-story Community Living Center (CLC) building, with a partial basement to service the needs of Veteran residents. The need and/or extent of the second level area should be determined during the design process based on available site area and other functional and practical considerations. The building shall be located to the North of the existing Phase I CLC Building, with its North façade overlooking E 38th Street, and its East façade overlooking the new main access road to the Erie VAMC. The main Building shall be approximately 20,000 square feet (sq. ft.) to accommodate all necessary space and services to support staff and residents of the CLC Phase II. In addition to this, the A-E shall include a partial basement of approximately 3,400 sq. ft. As part of the design, the A-E shall establish an enclosed connector between the proposed CLC Phase II building and the secondary North entrance to the existing CLC Building of approximately 450 sq. ft. The A-E shall also evaluate the need to provide a covered loading and receiving area to service the new building, considering that the current CLC-NRM project will be providing such a space for the original CLC building. The A-E shall be professionally licensed in any state in the United States. The A-E is responsible for all services to complete the deliverables listed in the A-E Statement of Work (SOW) (SOW - Erie CLC Phase II Design - Final). The deliverables outlined in the SOW are inclusive of the following: Site Investigation/Programming/Conceptual Design (15%), Schematic Design 1 (25%), Schematic Design 2 (40%), Design Development 1 (60%), Design Development 2 (75%), Contract Documents 1 (90%), Contract Documents 2 (100%), Final Contract Documents, Solicitation Support Services, and Construction Period Services. Please note that the 355-calendar-day period of performance for the design completion begins with the issuance of the Notice of Award (NOA) and that a Notice to Proceed (NTP) will not be issued for the completion of a design project. The solicitation support services and construction period services will be optional items that will be exercised after the award of the construction project. The period of performance for construction period services will match the period of performance for the construction project.
