C--A/E Design Service for 2nd & 3rd Floor Additions to Research Building for Women`s Health and Outpatient Mental Health Project # 534-330

The Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center is seeking professional architect/engineering firms to prepare complete contract drawings, specifications, technical reports, and cost estimates, to include construction period services to construct two (2) floor additions to the existing southwest research building in order to create Women s Health Clinic and increase Outpatient Mental Health at Building 1 for the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center, 109 Bee Street, Charleston, SC 29401-5703. The purpose of this project is to construct approximately 33,775 square feet, two (2) floor addition to Building 1 in order to create a Women s Health Clinic and increase Outpatient Mental Health Clinic space and provide for commensurate growth in ancillary and diagnostic services. This project will also add an elevator lobby and elevator equipment for the first, second and third floors along with creating a connection from this addition to the main medical center. Due to its location, the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center is extremely limited in expansion capabilities. This project offers a unique opportunity to add much needed space in order to meet the projected growth in workload and continue to offer the services needed by the Charleston Veteran population.
