Renovate Optometry for New Procedure Suite

Design Firm shall provide basic professional services and construction period of services to create a minor procedure room for the Ophthalmology section within the Optometry Clinic of the VA Saint Louis Healthcare System, John Cochran division. Design team shall create complete package of Construction Documents to meet applicable design standards and building codes, to include but not limited to Executive Order 13693. Construction package shall meet all requirements outlined in IDIQ contract. A/E shall provide a design to create a Class A Surgical Procedure Room, a sterile surgical tray delivery area, soiled utility room, patient recovery area and patient/family waiting area for the Ophthalmology section within the Optometry Clinic. VASTLHCS John Cochran Building 1 is an existing 11 story building with multiple additions that contains multiple medical services and clinics. Within the building is an Optometry Clinic on the first floor that lacks this procedure room. The design team shall survey each room and the utility systems that serve the room. The construction (and therefore design) includes demolition, hazardous material abatement (Industrial Hygiene) if needed, architectural, structural, carpentry, safety and infection measures, and other items. Project will create a minor procedure room for the Ophthalmology section within the Optometry Clinic. Class A surgical procedures are minor surgical procedures performed under topical, local, or regional anesthesia without preoperative sedation. In addition to the procedure room, this project will create a sterile surgical tray delivery area, soiled utility room, patient recovery area and patient/family waiting area. Project will require a total of ~952 DGSF. Total Project Costs include funding for new HVAC systems as needed to support this new procedure room. The justification is that it expands services provided to VASTLHCS' Veterans within the Optometry Clinic by providing a Class A Ophthalmology Surgical Procedure Room, which is currently not available. The design team shall provide all necessary design, estimation, and construction period services to complete the project. The design team shall create a complete package of construction documents to meet applicable design standards and building codes, to include but not limited to VHA Design Criteria for the listed rooms. Construction package shall meet all requirements outlined in the IDIQ contract. The design team shall survey each room and the utility systems that serve the room. Phasing may be required and shall be determined during design by both the A/E Firm and the VA Integrated Project Team.
