C1DZ--542-20-1-5306-0006 Construct In-Patient Mental Health Building (VA-20-00007482)

PROJECT INFORMATION: The consultant shall provide all architectural, mechanical, electrical and engineering services as defined to accomplish complete contract drawings, specifications, technical reports and cost estimates for the following work: Provide a full set of construction documents for the In-patient mental health building for Veterans with varying disabilities and illness that promotes warm and welcoming settings and structures, ready access to the outdoors, substantial natural light, space for private time as well as therapeutic, based on available evidence and best practices. A/E shall design accordance with most up to date VA Mental health Facilities Design Guide. The design of mental health facility needs to respond to changing workloads, care objective, and technologies. New space shall require minimum of 28 patient beds including minimum of (2) bariatric rooms and minimum of 40 staff members for mental health. Entire space shall comply with Anti-ligature policy. This project must provide complete and functional systems in accordance with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) requirements, industry standards, and all applicable code requirements. This applies to each and every system as a whole, which is affected by this project, even if only partially modified. The systems and equipment must maximize energy efficiency. SPECIFICS: This project involves constructing a new community living center to include the following details: Provide a full set of construction documents based on VA Mental Health Facilities Design guide and Coatesville s spacing requirement. The landscape plan shall reflect the needs of a healthcare environment. It shall be aesthetically pleasing, reflect seasonal changes, be safe for patients, and be easily and inexpensively maintained. The landscape design shall provide a framework for the natural environment, in lieu of a framework for the building. This is the phase of facility development process where landscape elements are integrated with or into the facility to complete the project. Adopt a landscape theme based on the regional character and historical and cultural significance of the facility. Create a non-institutional, home-like environment through careful attention to external and internal architectural features and interior design elements. Layout should incorporate an open and bright design. Unit configuration should be based on a pod-like design and should be absent of long corridors in order to promote social engagement and interaction with staff and provide for a more domestic and less institutional feel. Layout should be free of blind corners. Portions of the unit, such as the office suite, should be designed to be closed off after hours to reduce the amount of area within the unit required to be supervised by staff. Provide ample visual and physical access to nature, which promotes healing. Provide attractive, secure outdoor spaces directly off the unit. In addition to ample courtyard space for patient activities, consideration should be given to incorporating healing gardens. Indoor patient activity areas should have access to natural light and views, as well as appropriate acoustic control. Incorporate wall color, trim, accent colors, and securely anchored artwork in common areas and patient rooms. Interior finish shall be incorporated with Coatesville s finish standard. Minimize the potential for furnishings, fixtures, and equipment within the unit to be used as a weapon or anchor point for hanging. Develop multiple patient room clusters within the unit to allow for separation of different patient sub-groups. Staff Office integrated into main unit (not sequestered) Include an identifiable reception area for greeting patients and their families in a lobby area just outside the unit. In addition to functional benefits, a reception area sends a welcoming message to users. Sufficient signage should be placed to direct patients and families to this area. Utility, security, and IT infrastructure shall be provided. New space shall have VAV. HVAC control shall be coordinated with on-going design Consolidate HVAC control . Provide a secure and psychological safe courtyard. If not in this phase, then should be able to easily incorporate in the following phase(s) Design and construction work will be coordinated with other active projects at the Medical Center. Other options as determined by design meetings for efficient delivery of service.
